oops, my post made it to the 3rd page.

now it is back down to 2 pages. ?????

Once again, yes their response was late but the email was appropriate. Seeing that it appears that you are trying to slander cilogear, how about showing us the second email? If the language was rude, then I can understand why they did not respond. I can only imagine the contents of the letter. In general, most companies do not take back product without a return authorization number of some kind.

Their response sounds reasonable. If it came with seam grip and you didn't think it was needed, then it is your fault. I bought a BD epic tent and was told to seam grip it also. Did I scream about the work I had to do? no. it came with seam grip and I applied it as directed. Somebody call BD and tell them not to sell a megamid to this guy. Might have to apply some seamgrip. Oh the Horror!

Got these 2 screws but would like to sell them. They do not have the turn cranks. But they are the 22cm long size and still sharp. these are $46 each new. sell for $20 each plus shipping if needed.

La sportiva glacier boot size 10.5 well used and free. Got these boots that don't work for me anymore. They are about 11 years old and have lots of use. Sole and leather is fine. Just that is is flexible in the sole like a regular shoe. If any poor climber could use a waterproof leather mountaineering shoe, drop me a PM. BTW, if you want it, you gotta come and get it. no shipping.

FS: Black Diamond Xenos size medium. Worn less than 10 times; practically brand new. Retail: $130 Yours: $60 shipped to WA/OR Pics available upon request (it is in my gallery here but I am struggling to post it) I bought these from John Freih on this forum but we got the sizes mixed up. So I am putting it up on the auction block.

plenty of racists like to get nasty with that they hate. plenty of people become racists mid life. (no one is born racist)

look at what the mtn athelete, john frieh, and gym jones folks are doing. Seems like it would work overall endurance and bad ass-ery which patagonia demands. BTW, I have never been there so I really don't know anything about it.

I am a gimp but I got no excuse. Actually if they are gimps, then I am less so, those guys are rad.

Mr John Brookfield is the MAN when it comes to all things grip. (maybe the 2 or 3rd guy to close the #4 coc) He has some good grip specific books and that webpage has sh-loads of exercises. If you could do all of his exercises, you would have a serious popeye forearms. But not really sure it would pay off for climbing. A lot of the time, the grip stuff is thumb intensive which is not that critical to climbing.

you and the other 300 some odd others worldwide who managed to close it in the last 20 years. #3 is a BEAST. unfortunately CoC does not follow the SAID principal as it pretains to rock climbing .

tied up in H o w i t, I believe?

cool to see fred still doing first winter ascents in 1994! yeah it was some 18 years ago but he still was no spring chicken back then. not much action in the last two winters?

Gitmo may be open but it has about 1/4 of the population than it did 3 years ago. (according to a NPR program I heard last year) Isn't 3/4 gone progress?

making assumptions is a bad thing but for the sake of keeping sane, I assume that what I see is real. If it is all an illusion, then who gives a frack? I am not sure if my mind exist either. What is mind? not matter. What is matter? not mind.

that photo on the boulder brings a thought. I have been using a 40 to 50 degree down bag liner exclusively in the non winter months. for the weight of that sleeping bag in a garbage sack, you could have one of these down bag liners and a BD first light tent. A way better option than any bag/bivy combo for any season.

this is not helping me and my fear of taking a lead fall. it's all about me. glad to hear the fellow is fine.

how does one define "cascades"? if baker is in the cascades, why isn't rainier in the cascades?

no good dead goes unpunished. no wait, that is not how it is supposed to go. sorry to hear about the saw. real lame and I wish I could believe in a hell. makes living with these douches around easier. good on ya all for the public service. (except Pat, he has a huge karmic debt to repay. random propane fires and big rock trundles amongst the many)

science is agnostic in nature. When showed evidence contrary to common belief, it changes to fit with the new knowledge. (though sometimes it may take a while) Science does not deny the existence of dinosaurs cause it goes against the time line given by other evidence. It goes back and tries to understand where mistakes cold be made or how it can all still fit together. Religion just dismisses dinosaurs cause it does not fit with a bible timeline. On a positive note, religion puts the fear into people to make them act nicely together. Obey my commandments, act nice or I will give you a serious spanking!

I call Bullshite. How can one say it takes no "faith", yet have no scientific proof (can't proof a negative)? I'm sure in your case, your right. because your mind is not open beyond your own ego (based on your persona here). You have FAITH that you are right and everyone else that believes in God is a sucker (paraphrasing). Call a spade a spade. Atheism takes believing in something you can't proof (faith by definition). "faith" is the belief in god or teachings of a religion. Since atheism don't believe in god, there is no "faith". Faith is also believing in something without proof. Atheism is about needing proof to believe the existence in god. Since none exists (short afterlife experiences and feelings about the nature of the world are not proof), we have atheism and so atheism is not faith based. belief in god requires faith because there is no evidence belief in science requires no faith. Science believes in only things that can be proved. The day that a bigfoot is put in a cage or a skeleton found, science will believe in bigfoot. A simple visit from the almighty would be enough evidence too but are we not worthy enough a occasional sleep over from Daddy?

what fraction of the trail is above treeline? looks like lots of high country time. (acccording to the photos)

is #13 whitechuck? #17 pugh? and #20 sloan? looks like a very sweet trip. 2 or 3 days?
