I dropped the big one this am. I meant business as it broke the waterline and needed 2 flushes to clear. Didn't do a damn thing for Asscrackistan. That's not a very PC thing to call Afghanistan when we have quite a bit of responsibility for the mess there today. You must think it is funny/clever since you have already used it in the past. I personally don't think it's funny or clever. "CascadeClimbers.com » Forums » Spray » Spray "

This one reminded me of the ladder of superglued 1/2 inch blue tubular webbing loops somebody put up on a boulder (Wine?)in Camp 4 back in the 80's. Some of them were missing, but word was they held body weight.

Except for being flattened, this looks like one of the meat cleaver hangers that originally protected a pitch on Silent Running.

This was really hard to find without the use of a computer and google, but... Here it is...

Where any of you not drunk between 9:27 am and 7:50 pm Friday?

Grandma sent this link?

There is always a plausible explanation for everything...

Here's a better view...

Ding!

Hardscrabble Lakes? Up the Middle Fork road? That would be south of my photos subject.

I'll see your mystery crag image and raise you one, though I really don't understand why mine didn't already have bolts and tat all over it.

No, it was Satan... [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XcYAMR3PoU&feature=related

It is my understanding, from reading the statute, that the melting down with the intent to sell the altered coin makes it illegal. From Title 18 United States Code, Section 331: "Whoever fraudulently possesses, passes, utters, publishes, or sells,or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or brings into the United States, any such coin, knowing the same to be altered, defaced, mutilated, impaired, diminished, falsified, scaled, or lightened"

Post-1983 pennies are made of zinc with a copper coating and are quite easy to snip that way. It is only illegal to alter US currency if there is fraudulent intent.

This sort of looks like the summit of Mt. Baring. So it is...

It's one of Cristo's new art installations...thousands of giant croquet wickets spanning the breadth of a city along the roofline.

Hint: It's north of Hwy 2

Your problem sounds like rocker launch. Tele boots have a tendency to rock the skier forward due to the "rockered" nature of the boot design. You can see this if you put your boot in the binding. Most likely the heel will not be setting on the heel piece, but will instead be hovering above it. This effect can cause you to be pushed, or "rocked" forward toward the tips of the skis, causing the tip dive. The wedge is supposed to offset this effect by lifting the front of the boot up and setting the heel down. As you mention, tip dive can also reduced by moving the binding back a bit.

You could see long strings of rock dust explosions as the rocks repeatedly bounced off the wall.

That's when I screamed like a little girl.
