WHY WALLS ARE BETTER THAN WOMENcourtesy of the famous Wally Barker
1) Walls will fuck you in every imaginable way. 2) There are easy walls everywhere. 3) It's pretty easy to find Walls that really suck. 4) After you do a new wall, it acceptable to tell your parents. 5) When you're on top of a wall, it's OK to take a dump. 6) You can do walls even if your not hard. 7) You can do walls less than 16 year old and not go jail. 8) You can share a wall with your friends. 9) You can do more than one wall in a day and not feel guilty. 10) Most walls can be done without raincoats. 11) If things get tough, you can always just nail a wall. 12) You can do a wall in public. 13) If you're persistent, easy walls always will go down. 14) Doing 3 wall in a day is something to brag about. 15) Your wall will always wait patiently for you. 16) You don't have to get cleaned up to do a wall. 17) A wall doesn't care when you come. 18) You can enjoy walls all month long. 19) Walls don't get jealous when you do another wall.

If they break a leg or something, don't mess around with liability, that gets too messy. Just kill them.

The third row is a long long ways away. This thread has stopped talking about the Muir hut a long time ago, and nobody talks about how much Dan Larson sucks either. The third row is a long ways to shoot the breeze about nothing!

I love this thread!

Hee hee... on that note, I was just starting up the second pitch of Someclimbcalledsomething yesterday, and after getting about five feet off the ground cut one loose

right in my belayer's face. Poor guy had nowhere to go, being tied into the anchors and all. ![[laf]](graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif)
A brief war of words ensued, warning me about his sudden lack of motivation to keep me on belay. I laughed at his paltry empty threats, and dropped a silent stinker before leaving my perch. Another merry day at the crags. -

We saw a group of climbers with names on their helmets briefly on Saturday. hmmmmmmmm

I've read that climbing hold significantly less dangers than we might think, statistically. Driving to a climbing site and back is more dangerous than rock climbing. In Yosemite, there are an average of 2.5 deaths, 50 fractures, and 15-25 rescues per year. Compare that to 25,000 to 50,000 days on the wall. Statistically, rock climbing is less dangerous than operating a power lawn mower, playing high school football, and surprisingly, backpacking.
My source is "Climbing Rock and Ice" by Jerry Cinamon, his sources for those statements are footnoted.

Try taking heavy drugs. Or maybe violence really IS the answer....

I took a year of classes in videography and really enjoyed them. Believe it or not, a photography class really helped me too, lots of tips about how to turn crappy subjects into asthetically pleasing images. I got a TV tuner card and video editing software that suits my needs just fine for $100.

I've heard that the time the most auto accidents occur is between midnight and 2am, and 1pm and 3pm. I guess the afternoon time has something to do with blood sugar after lunch. I've been doing a lot of all night driving lately, and it seems true. From midnight to two I am dead tired, but after that I feel a lot better and am able to push on for hours and hours and hours more. Illusion or not, it gets me to wherever I'm going.

What kind of music were they playin'?

Amen to that. Awesome climber, looks like a great time, but crikey! My eyes were getting droopy for a couple of minutes halfway into the second reel.

I liked the splitter gear thread more because it was more entertaining.

Death by slideshow is what I just experienced. Charlie Fowler's show on Patagoina was mostly interesting, but he wasn't a good storyteller either. Lots of pictures of Steph Davis though.....

I remember the second time I went there we woke up the resident ranger/warden person at 2am trying to find the grasslands.... and if any other rangers are like her, you have nothing to worry about. She wasn't even angry. I wouldn't push it though. Although I have slept in the car in the regular campground parking lot without a hitch. I've never seen the rangers put out any effort to enforce anything, but who cares, camp in the grasslands, you'll have ten times more fun anyway.

Whoa nelly, whoa there...
REI's Climbing department
in Climber's Board
Posted
90% I have been met with a very friendly sales staff, although rarely have they been very knowledgable. Once I met a guy (Mark/Marcus) at the flagship store who really knew his stuff, but he is so far the only exception to the rule I've seen. On a positive note, I've had sales staff come up to me almost every time and ask if I needed any help, especially in the camping department. Though I generally refuse unless I want to see a confused look on their face.
True story: Last week I went to the bicycle repair class at the Lynwood store, and after it was over went upstairs to check out the books in the climbing section. (always a favorite pastime) Next I wandered over to the pro section to check out cams, as I was looking to pick up another couple tech friends. Alas, they did not stock tech friends! It seems they only stock camalots and one other brand of something. On a whim I asked the sales staff how the friend sizes compared with the camalots. "Oh, all the sizes are the same," Captain America replied. I pointed out that the number 1 camalot is clearly not the same size as the number 1 of whatever other cam they had. Mystified, the clerk excused himself to go find out why this was so. He never came back.
