So there's a hermaphroditic canadian snafflehound pregnant with Dru's love child running wild in the British Columbian wilderness?! Call the Enquirer!!!

Good plan except for the -30 windchill (most days) and snow (little that there is. How sad. We need a normal winter.)... I've got plans to climb on the shore as soon as it warms up though! You Northwesterners aren't gonna know what hit ya when I get out West this spring after training on all of this supposed great climbing around Duluth. Ha! Only kidding... I've been climbing for... what? one month? I won't be able to talk smack for a long long long time! Oh Oh. Addict + Minnesota = apply for new Visa card to buy ice tools and 'poons.

Dude whatever. I climb hard. You climb harder. Who cares. Yes some of my "pointers" were taught to me by an old slabmaster with amazing footwork. But it totally works for me to think about climbing within that framework too. Sorry for being a prick this morning. No worries, look forward to havin a sometime yo.

That dude should not be aid climbing. Or free climbing for that matter. Atleast before he hits the stairmaster or visits the Jenny Craig clinic or some shit.

Exactly. Courts have ruled that people can peacefully hand out political fliers in malls without restriction. Which is a lot more intrusive than just wearing a peace t-shirt. I think its pretty safe to guess that if this guy took this issue to court he would win. Even though the mall owner might claim his business is being compromised because people won't shop there if someone is allowed to wear a peace t-shirt, the balance would shift in favor of free speech over property rights, in this instance.

Property Rights are not absolute. Often property rights and issues of freedom of speech conflict. However, when one opens up a shopping mall they invite the public into it, thereby compromising any right they previously had to exclude anyone from their property.

Bullshit. You probably don't even remember where it is.

Anyone know how much permits to slack line on Forest Service land are going to be this year? I can't decide it I want to get a hacky-sack permit or a slack line permit - I can't afford both.

Damn Dru, all the chicks are gunna be on your tip now. There's nothing like a Water Temperature Monitoring Program Report to turn on the mommas. You should see what happens when the ladies get a hold of my TPS Reports!

Let's not confuse "working" with "working it."

If no gym and no opportunity to climb rock during the winter just have to suck it up and appreciate the fact that you got a lot of days on the ice this winter!!

Climbing in the gym (if possible) during the winter is good that way you stay used to climbing without tools and poons. And your fingers stay somewhat strong.

Which markers have been shown to damage sheaths? All of them, except for the $50 super special Metolius disco rope marker

I was in J-tree last weekend too. Unfortunately I missed the comedy show at Indian Cove.

Malls... golf courses, and Eurodisney

Sad thing is, he could sue but all he could probably get would be the ability to wear his shirt at the mall. It would be hard to recover any damages. Probably wouldn't be worth the cost of litigation. Though sounded like the ACLU was interested in the case.

I need a reliable woman to buy my slippers. LaSportiva Cobras size 43.5 please!

Maybe technical route is good. I'd lead WI5 M7 for a haulbag filled with "BC kush." Better than buying it from some sketchy Canmoran.

I need a reliable female to climb with too.

How 'bout carpetmunchers?

Maybe my choice of words were a little harsh. I'm a little cranky in the morning before my second cup of joe. Whatever

Hmmm, I don't know about this advice. 1. I suppose you mean look at feet when placing them? 2. I think there might be too much variability to make such a generalization. My toe/heel plane tends to be perpendicular to higher when climbing.... Also, pointing the toe will often be necessary when makign a reach. And if the heel drops too much, your foot-to-rock contact strength will diminish. I'd say perpendicular or higher. 3. Often true, when driving off of that foot. But again, so much variation. Often you'll want the knee past the foot for maximal drive and for getting all weight on that foot, especially on high-steps. 4. maybe on slab to vert? While on both feet? 5. absolutely. But try it all, and see where it takes you. Sex chococolate: Stupid fuck. Of course this is a generalization! Its just good primary technique to start with. Its not like I made it up, its technique advice I've taken from climbers who climb a hell of a lot stronger than you or me. Dumb ass.

Its to early for this discussion
