I hear they are the best part of the muffin. Porter you're talking like a football fan....a baseball fan would simply offer her this tastey treat and enjoy the game.

Nope not a cc.comer but she has a cool blog! Blog here.

That isn't a North Wall Hammer. It has a much shorter handle than a NWH and was called an alpine hammer by GPIW. I have climbed WI IV using one of these and found it to be a pretty sucky tool. They do however make GREAT route gardening tools.

Exactly what I was thinking but is that Lowe or Forrest. I forget. Buried in my garage somewhere..... Wasn't there a axe length version too?

1) There is no such thing as too much baseball. 2) Exit 38 is perfect for days at the Safe. 3) The Safe is filled with MILFs. (and pre-MILFs)

Old Forrest tools is my guess.

..that brings to mind this terrible sight: the other day at the vertical World I was admiring myself in the mirror when I suddenly realized hanging over my harness was a muffin top!

Fixed it for you.

Depends on the cap... Mariners Giants Others I love a girl in a good cap!

FW don't ignore Carter's power! Thanks to him a significant portion of the Jewish vote will turn away from the Democrats and vote Republican! Much like when he was defeated by Ronnie all those years ago.

The idea that a rock rating equals the hardest "move" is not very accurate. Over the years there have been many arguments for and against this proposition. The YDS system cannot perfectly differentiate between moves and continuous climbing in the best of circumstances. Some examples from classic climbs: Butterballs .11c: no .11 moves on the entire pitch. This pitch is given an .11 rating do to the continuous nature of the climbing. http://mountainproject.com/v/california/yosemite_national_park/yosemite_valley/105936538 not too far away is Waverly Wafer 5.10+ Consistent climbing not given a plus for its continuous nature. http://mountainproject.com/v/california/yosemite_national_park/yosemite_valley/105992951 a bit more to the right is Catchy 5.10+ a one move wonder way easier to lead than Waverly Wafer. http://mountainproject.com/v/california/yosemite_national_park/yosemite_valley/105939236 Crescent Arch at the Meadows was explicitly given a harder rating than any single move do to its continuous nature. Locally compare two classic .11bs. ROTC .11b No .11 moves but continuous. Saggitarius .11b with a very short .11b crux. The routes I have been comparing have all been cracks on similar rock. Throw in different climmbing styles (edging, friction, steep ....) and rock types (limestone, rough, polished...) and ratings become even more confusing. My guess is any high altitude 5.9 rating would be nearly meaningless. Well I guess it would mean hard.

Now we are talkin' deferents and epi-cycles!

.....is Francoise Hardy! Ye Ye! S7wyIrjqYQU

Not me. After I pull the lever I want to enjoy a nice pint and sandwich courtesy of Jim who will of course be decked out in GOP regalia and my sister’s old McCain POW bracelet.

Dont you mean "Calendar".

FIOS => Not sure of availability

This guy seems pretty smart and believes in God.

FIOS option?

Mariner's mojo is free to all!

and after the game...I was so high, I flew home!

I had four DL tickets too!

We agree!

I won't even go into how F^^%% craziy it was to be out flying when you could have been in the Safe. Check this out. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,351186,00.html

The entire slab is mostly friction. Don Brooks wrote in one of his guides: I do wonder how given the nature of the rock, by examining the route today, you can come to the conclusion that critical holds (small flakes) now long gone did not exist in the past. One comment about Bomb Shelter, Victor Kramar gives the route a skull. Since the route was pretty darn close to being a sport route (only a couple non fixed pieces after the crux) I am guessing that the skull is due to the poor quality of the fixed gear. I have been told that the fixed pins might be missing. Also, the anchor at the normal end of the route was full length slings threaded through the sandstone.

is soo sweet...
