the Jean Jeanie on the left appears to be rippin' mad gas. Notice the slightly lifted leg..."RRRRRAAAAAAAPLPLPLPLAPAPAPAPAPRRRRRUUUUURRRRRRRooooooorrrrrrpppL"

How many exposures on that frame? I think my Elan7E will do 8 or 10 per frame, that looks like 10-12? And hey, is that an eagle on that legde to the left?

I'm a big fan of the 5.10 Hueco with the EVA heel pad. Not so much a fan of the model w/o the pad. Comfort is the name of the game with these. They are nowhere near as stiff as a Kaukulator or Ace, but a decent balance between being stiff enough to edge while still smearing well. They don't have the same support as a stiffer shoe, obviously, and no high top for ankle protection. Pretty thin toe profile, comfy tongue, and the heel pad is WAY nice. And they're white. This is the first shoe I reach for unless I'm within a letter or two of my max or bouldering, and I have a decent quiver of shoes to pick from...Sportiva Focus and cobras, Moccasyms, Anasazi lace ups, boreal matrix, anasazi slippers (the blue synthetic ones). Scarpa just don't fit me well. Do they still make that Sportiva high top "beginner" shoe? Those things were killer for all day stuff for the price. I think they were called Enduros or something like that, they were a dark red/maroon. I went through a couple pairs of those as all day shoes prior to the Huecos. I know you said "high performance" but I think you would agree that to gain comfort you will give up some performance. You can always carry a pair of tight slippers for the gnar pitch on otherwise cruiser routes. Mocassyms can't weigh more than a couple biners.

There's only ONE essential beyotches, and that's....THE STOKE!!!!!

Congrats Luke, that's great news. I'm surprised her father didn't chase you across the steppe with a sharp farm implement when he found out you knocked up his princess out of wedlock Can you get good prenatal and infant care over there? I guess if you're gettin' ultrasound it can't be too bad?

To the crags men! And for god's sake, don't forget your gaiters!

Nice PaulB. That's a classic tale Iaxx was on a roll that month.

And the lost classics keep on coming...

Is that Distel in the disco getup?

Yet another classic lost to changing links:

Ochoa Taqueria, on the north side of the eastbound main drag in Hillsboro. Cheap, authentic, fresh, huge helpings, and as a gringo you will be in the minority of diners for sure. This is the best mex food in the PDX metro area, IMO. Mapquest rocks: Taqueria Ochoa: 503-640-4755 943 SE Oak St Hillsboro, OR 97123, US Map linky: http://tinyurl.com/qt8zv

I thought that was the mini-bong holster?

I'm closer to Russia than Seattle. Does that count?

An oldie that got the link botched when they moved their gallery. "You know it's hard out here for a pimp. With the cadillac and gas money spent."

You got your shorts n polypro, then you got your daisy dukes n polypro.

Yah, super classic that one. There are a few that even top that one I think. This is a good 'un... Guy in the back "Oh jeez Harry, the smell is gaggin' me!"

They are really mounties pics. Right click, eh.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Sick prob. Mad props on that, yo.

Big pimpin.

Dirt rappin. Effin sweet.

Ahhh. Isn't it nice to be outdoors? The clean air, the solitude...
