Thanks for the clarification, Peter. Same here. "Nerves of steel, brains of mush"

Here's my original contribution: GRAINS Shotgun in my hand Wooded, barbed wire seclusion My distillery

Got it, not sure if it's the "Discover" but same specs. Excellent choice for rope team of 2 or 3 (3 only if you tie into the ends with no excess - 4? forget it!). Make sure it's a "dry" rope. 30M is great to save on weight but makes for a tight team.

I just was following PP's line of reasoning on the DDD thread and I actually understood it. Only noting it because I thought it was funny but it wasn't funny. I don't understand anything he says. No one here reasons on anything so I've stopped reading altogether.

"I've only been wrong once in my life and that was when I thought I was wrong but was actually right."

Yeah, yeah. Do I get a commission on that?

What?! Are you like trying to make me feel bad here for not selling my axe?

I see you've finally perfected the delicate and refined art of haiku. Good to see you're making fine use of that valuable time you've so diligently sought after.

No need for Metro, Orifice-lot's-o-Space dishes out plenty for everyone. Big orifice = big turd [This message has been edited by Jman (edited 07-31-2001).]

I bought it back in '93 - so it doesn't have any flashy neon colors or nothing. But it carries loads fantastic. I haven't used it for the last 4 years (because I experienced the "lightweight renaissance" and it's now way too big for my needs, and hence I own several other packs) and at this point it's just taking up valuable closet space. Forgot to mention that it also comes with a raincover. Call me if you would like to see it. [This message has been edited by Jman (edited 07-31-2001).]

Not to side with anyone here... but, I'm sure that drug makers are always one-up on the drug testers. Look at body builders who are always tested. There's no humanly possible way to get as big as they do without drug enhancement. Yet they rarely get caught because there's always another drug to "cover over" the testing. Hmmm...

Please provide us a link to their website. Thanks.

Yeah, I know, I know. Those went the same way as the ice axe. I was intending on selling them to upgrade. But decided I didn't really need a new pair as much as I wanted to replace them with a new pair. So I'll be content with what I have and hence removed them from the post.

Those sleestacks scared the heck out of me too. Same with Benita Bazaare, Dr. Shrinker, and especially Witchiepoo. (Freddie the flute was freaky too). I think Sid & Marty did way too many drugs... [This message has been edited by Jman (edited 07-27-2001).]

Yeah, saw that one, too. Mine's better

Yes, that is better Your haiku improved quickly Climb AND write poems (here's the monkeybutt - courtesy of erik - if you still choose to): [This message has been edited by Jman (edited 07-27-2001).]

Sleestacks RULE!!! [This message has been edited by Jman (edited 07-27-2001).]

Just wanted to give a plug for these guys. Good customer service and they carry some equipment that may be difficult to find here. http://www.knradventuregear.com

I have no idea on currect conditions, but I did this last year. Fantastic route, very long though. If you do it, give yourself 3 days - your body will thank you. Watch out for varmits! My friend had his hat torn to shreds by a marmot - nothing else was touched. It was probably revenge for him taking a dump right in front of the critter's home/hole in the ground.
