Kick ass, nice photos! And good climbin fellas! Sorry I couldn't keep the breakfast comment in...just had to share the love. I'm sure you knew it was comin!

And then you have the NERVE to infer that because the guy/girl (probably my friend) has doubts about the validity of your claim they are idiots, no I think you are an IDIOT for abusing the spirit of the return policy. When my gear legitamately wears out I, being the one who wore it out, go out and earn the money to replace it, instead of making the other members and myself pay for it little by little. Personally I'm tired of buying guys like you new gear, with a surcharge on what I purchase. My divedend would be alot larger without these kind of abuses to the system!!! Jeff Oh whatever...listen to this guy, "the spirit of the return policy" gimme a fuckin break. Not only are you a dumb ass, but you're also an asshole. First, REI's prices are not higher than anyone elses prices, usualy lower because they buy gear from vendors in such large quantities. No one charges more than a brands specified suggested retail price that you will find in the catologue. Second, if REI's prices may be high, its cause of the ease in which little punks can walk right out the front door with gear stuffed down their pants. I'd love to know how much merchandise is lost from that store each year. You're dividends would be even higher if they'd hire people to watch the many exits that place has. But we all know that they won't even spend the money on keeping the place staffed with knowledgable salespeople. And finnaly, poor MATTB whom you so blatently slammed from out of nowhere has a ligitamite quality control issue here. Any stiching defects will be covered under most respectable outdoor brand's warranty policy. Although OR's policy sucks, but then why would anyone want new OR mits anyway... I've worked retail for over ten years, good brands and shops back up the life of their products, especialy stitching issues. As for you, why don't you just crawl back in your hole and attack people on some other web site...freakin REI lovin'lurker. As for the yuppies who return a gor-tex coat because the color has gone out of style...they can suck it. They probably poor radiator fluid down the gutter, and spray tons of chemicals all over their lawns as well. [ 02-25-2002: Message edited by: Lambone ]

Yeah, keep 'em comin suckers...

The gym is the only place to learn anything about how to rock climb and mountaineer safely.

don't team up with erik, he's sketchy... You can use lots of different stuff to set up top ropes. Get John Longs book "Anchors," he lays out several different scenarios depending on the anchor types available. One thing I'll mention: Do not TR straight through the links on chain anchors. This just puts needless wear on them, causing them to become thin and sketchy, needing replacement(just like erik). Use your own gear instead. Have fun, be safe. Note the recent accident report, this kinda shit happens. Oh yeah, be carefull(ie. don't do it) about setting up TR's where loose rock might be knocked down on people below. This includes lots of crags near North Bend and Vantage. Better to just politely ask other climbers to lead up and set up the TR for you. Many folks would be more than happy to do this.

Gloves, since I tend to burn though a pair each season. Or lose one of them

Is that a shot of cavey and mike?

12 hours of driving for one day of ice climbing...now thats some dedication!

Its called a troll, two bad its so easy to see right through his hook, otherwise it might be entertaining. As it stands caveman is putting me to

I think that's caveman practicing for my house. Too bad he'll never be able to get his truck out of the impound....

Yet another disadvantage of those android leashes. I have a love hate relationship with them....

Caveman doesn't get my dry, often subtle and sarcastic attempts at humor. So he thinks I'm just an arrogant punk, and he hates me because I have the power to erase the spray he posts in my ice threads. Personally I don't get cavemans humor either, but I've never threatened him because of it. The only spray I've ever erased was shit directed towards me; we told him we'd erase evil posts that had nothing to do with ice climbing, and thats what I did. I think that he's getting a big laugh because he thinks that I am sitting at home quivering and having nightmares that he is going to come kick my ass or something. The funny thing is that we have never met in person, which just goes to show that caveman permenantly lives in some kind of cyber reality. You don't know me cavey, you only know my inernet alter ego...so give it up and lets put back some beers sometime. Peace [ 02-22-2002: Message edited by: Lambone ]

Just curious...does anyone else think that i am provoking this...besides ray?

Kim is such a badass... [ 02-21-2002: Message edited by: Lambone ]

Mike, I'm not much into political debates, but that shit on powdermag.whatever was pretty funny. Maybe caveman should start fucking with those guys...

I had over a hundred fights growing up as an amateur boxer, and many more fighting mexicans where I grew up so I'm over it. Why don't we compete against one another in the Snoqualmie Pass Randonee Rally for bragging rights ladies. That we we'll all go home with sore muscles instead of broken bones which would prevent us from climbing this summer. Right on, is it cool if I use my teles?
