Gloves may stop the bleeding, but it still hurts just as much. And avoid wrapping the rope all around your leg like that! That's the thing -- I didn't feel any pain while I was bashing away. Until I stopped to place a screw and noticed a bloody mess, I didn't even notice! Does having curved-shafted tools make a difference in reducing knuckle-bashing? I guess it's probably easier to flick your wrist with a curved tool... I was just trying to keep my legs warm with all that rope I was stacking up while belaying. Sloth, I don't think curved tools make much of a difference when it comes to bashing the nuckles, if anything they make it easier to bruise your pinki fingers. I think this is because the curve puts the grip further under the tip of the pick. When I upgraded from my old Black Profets to Cobras I started to bash mine alot more, i kinda had to re-learn how to swing 'em. With the Cobras I have to concentrate on flicking my wrist and pulling my pinki nuckels up and back from the ice, otherwise bruising and pain sets in quickly. I think it's got alot more to do with technique then tool. When I get tierd and sloppy I bangem up good. nice rope management, figure out how to turn a rope into a sleeping bag and you'd be a rich climber!

If you are going to solicit your buisness here, then you must first buy us all a beer at pub club...

a real skier would have launched the cornice

Hey, I like the Reverso. It might be a bit heavier than the gi-gi, but it works better for belaying the leader (like an ATC). The only thing I have found that is important to keep in mind, the Reverso seems to have less friction (then an ATC) when rappeling with skinny ropes. I use two biners to get a little more friction. I haven't used the other one.

Whats up Ryan, good to see you representin the Bozeman crowd! Winter (i.e. grey and wet) has arived. It was cold last week, and pecipitation moved in over the weekend, expect new snow, possibly unstable on top of ice. Good luck.

howabout da toof???

I think Dwayner starts some good threads, or at least he used too, I have been guilty at laughing at many of them. I'll still give him shit about his attitude towards other climbers, but so what, he dishes out plenty of his own BS. I mean come on...he posts a thread about when this site went down the shitter, and blames it on other people...but then can't take it when someone claims that he is just as much part of the (so-called) problem? Grow up man. As far as the betta thing... I think theres lots of good stuff on this site, thanks to contributers who actualy care, or at least just like to chestbeat(more power to 'em). Sure people could get by with Beckys books, or Nelsons Classic guide, or no guide at all. But hey, why not make life easyier by learning from others experiences? Lets face it, most of us who post here are weekend warriors. We only have two days to get up stuff and we don't want to spend that precious time dorkin around with details or carrying extra gear.

after a wonderfull spray binge it is now time to logoff and get away from this computer for a weekend hiatus from CC.com Plans are for Mt. Biking on the eastside and cragging on Sun. enjoy the weekend yall, and spray on! [ 10-04-2002, 03:51 PM: Message edited by: Lambone ]

Someday, when you learn some manners, you'll be surprised how much more of the world will be available to you. It took only but ten minutes to determine that there was no possible worthwhile insight that I could possibly gain from you sir. Siffting through your selfrighteous BS for content was more tedious than digging through the spray of CC.com for good beta.

Whats up Proffesor? Are you adapting the "just ignore" Lambone tactics again? I have to hand it to you, you do have a gift when it comes to starting good threads. but mikey's still sucks
