Trollerific. You're an avatar until you show up at pub club, sorry

sprayin there eh flebebelebebe?? still there are many crags that fit this bill in the icicle without creating an issue. so still my point applies!! Sure, you're right, of course I walked away... but why should I have to? There were a couple of lines on the crag that I really wanted to climb, and while the mounties had a rope on them I didn't see anyone get up them without major thrashing and falling and whatnot - and most didn't get up at all. I figure if they want to meet up in large numbers like that they can go somewhere they won't be in anybody's way. Like the side of their clubhouse

why would i want to climb at a crag with all .7 and belwo routes?? and if i did have the desire or the need to climb at crag such as this..i would pack up and go to another one. such an easy issue to fix. Different partners, different routes, different crags. I like 5.9-5.10 these days but not all my partners do. If the people in these groups were actually climbing I'd not mind, but mostly they're just standing around. The basic course trips are the only ones that go beyond the 12 person limit (as far as I know...) and could just as well be carried out using a ladder on the side of a building.

What do you guys do when you walk into a group of ~40 mounties clogging up a whole crag with top-ropes, most of which aren't in use?

What Off-White said. DITO If I want a route I drop my pack under it and get my ass on it ASAP What they said

I'll help if you want, some new hardware and replacing.

I'd be willing to help with replacing old bolts with new ones.

"[...] On camera, the general feeling among the crowd was sorrow at losing Saddam. Off camera, the citizens of Umm Qasr and Basra appeared genuinely exhilarated at the prospect of a brighter future, after Saddam had been removed. [...]" From Arab News

Nobody on this bulletin board dares admit they climb at gyms. Prolly about half of us do though, it's either that or aiding in the rain Can't help you with the Redmond VW, I go to Stone Gardens, when I'm not aiding in the rain that is...

Bonobo monkeys fuck like, eh, monkeys, I mean, rabbits, all the time, with any available monkey male or female - and not only for pleasure but also resolve arguments and such. Shite, ugh, now the image of trask, Greg W and DFA arguing Bonobo style won't leave my mind. What lurid imagination I have. Perhaps if we throw the three of them in the battlecage with Necro, Tomcat and MtnGoat for good measure, then all will be peace and we can spew beta like happy little climbers?

Did you really?

Hmm, that page doesn't mention why the tweezers are the way, but I'll buy that explanation. Where is the barf gremlin when you need it, eh? Guess it also means it's better to be fairly decisive with the tweezers. The real question - raise your hands if you carry tweezers on your Cascades rack (right next to the chainsaw )

The ticks/lyme disease page is pretty good. The bacteria live in tick guts, which is why infection takes something like 36 hours.

Whiny is probably a better description. McDonalds has a $1 hamburger for you. Bite me shithead. Hope you get swallowed whole by the ticks. I went to the Mexi place once or twice, that works. There is a Subway at the Chevron station. Is there a brewery somewhere not that far from Gustavs that has good beer and wurst? I heard of a decent brewery, haven't been though.

Thing is, if necro weren't here to spew the anti-war material then all you aggressive pro-war types would be completely insufferable. As it is both viewpoints seem equally bogus.

Now you're poaching tomcat's lines

Hey, that's my line. Bugger off.

Or not.

I had no intent to express any opinion whatsoever. But if you insist, we can make it my "opinion" that these Iraqis have the option of not supporting Saddam anymore. Did you see the interview with the ex-spook yesterday? He was apparently sent to Iraq to incite an uprising something like 10 years ago, now he's here but still in contact with tribal Iraqis etc. According to the interview the tribesmen intend to fight the coalition, despite hating Saddam.

Was there some other thread about ticks and disease and such? What's the big deal about ticks? Find, squash, send, send, send? Eh, Specialed?

Hmm, maybe I'm just ignorant. Don't ticks carry disease? My other problem is that my wife makes a beeline for the car if she so much as sees one Edit: I'm taking this to the ticks thread, if it hasn't been hashed out already...

They don't have to, it's a choice - an interesting one considering where the humanitarian aid is coming from. Did you know the word terrorism has two meanings? Which one were you thinking of?

How do you like the footage of hungry, irate Iraqis chanting their support to Saddam while fighting each other for water and food hand-outs?

Maybe just watch Fox News, live bombing If only that Bill O'Reilly freak were on

Will be too late, we're going to see a movie too. Decisions, decisions
