congrats to all the winners. They all sound like good climbers on bold ventures.

http://www.etrailer.com/merchant2/graphics/00000001/pics/Y/0/Y07070_2_1000.jpg for $230 you can just get a yakima basket for the roof rack. How much did your whole thing cost? and then you got side rails and the victims can sue yakima if things fly off due to rack failure. I know, you like to build stuff.

p 236 of the waddington guide. pat and dan mcnerthney july 86 it would be a amazing if "someone" hadn't done the second ascent yet. I would imagine at least some crazy slavics did it in the last 24 years. It seems reasonable for the very strong types and also being right at the col.

I like the lookout window cover props in the last shot. where is winchester lookout? Obviously north of baker.

why should teachers not talk about what is wrong with schools? Would seem that ideas and opinions from the source would be valuable. or is it that is all they talk about?

rain at stevens yesterday. seems like the weather pattern so far is to move from one temperature extreme to the next.

leading that thing looks nuts. Might as well solo. That guy must be a hardman or insane man.

It is actually 5% on rei purchases and 1% on everything else (minus a few exceptions). That is actually not that great of a card if you are not planning to buy tons of stuff at rei. There are tons of cards out there that will give 1% for everything and something more (3%) for specifics, like gas, which we spend a lot more on. plus it looks like you have to wait to the end of the year to get your "rebates" and it must be used at rei. Really, this is a lame credit card. (as is most credit cards)

the total payroll for 2 million walmart employees is probably the same as the total payroll for 50,000 apple employees.

very nice. very nice indeed.

maybe if one could ice boulder, it would be a zoo. People walking the roads with pads and tools on the backs.

I don't care cause I went to the mac side. never missed my PC again.

what constitutes the 90 million people? Last I heard, minors could not work the factory lines. Also who wants some 80 year old to work the drive through. Of the 90 million, how many are of working ages and not in college and not homeless and not homemakers and any other reasonable excuse? for an old larry guy, you sure get your panties in a wad on silly things

maybe it has to do with there being nothing else better going on. I certainly watch this daily for lack of anything better. We need a Colin Haley or some other bad ass TR! I'm just cranky cause I watched 20 minutes of 9/11 you tube videos last night.

Why does anyone think I am defending this guy? My last point is that people are getting all excited about nothing. My first point is that hypocrisy exists in our climbing community. From what I get, FW is not defending him but would if his actions were based on beliefs other than greed and stealing for his own good. Stupid is reading and not thinking. Stupid is letting your emotions and own notions cloud your mind when listening to others. Stupid is doing the same thing an expecting a different response. If you want to get excited (actually saddened) about something, go look at the Victim of War thread. Then reply if this theft is really something to bother with.

I can't speak for all but I was serious about the quality looking lines in that online guide you linked. it is surprisingly good if it is regular.

you all need to smoke something

an even better question is why is there so much energy used for this discussion. The emotion and the time spent on one guy stealing a dozen or so draws. I mean, come on, if it was a set of cams, then I could understand. plus, I don't know the would be gear victim, but I would guess he got the draws on some sweet pro deal or bro deal. Does it really comes down to the fact that he has to put the draws back up there? Getting mad at 12 draws times $8/draw = $96. What happens when the tax man or mortgage company takes thousands away from you?

Holy bat turds! N Carolina has got some good looking ice! Looks even better than the stuff around here.

Nice! Who wudda thunk there was ice in NC? or even ice climbers?

how did the firelog burn?

silly boy. you should be using camo colors. what is this world coming to? gear caches and draws.

I wouldn't know if you did. will you friend me on facebook?

I was not trying to defend him. he is a serious douche head. He obviously didn't do the right thing on prior days and didn't even come up with a decent lie to cover his ass. Professional criminals always have a exit strategy. My prior post was just a couple of thoughts came while reading this. One question...what would one do with dozens of draws? Is there a quickdraw market on ebay? The payoff for this crime is minimal. Me thinks he is mental.

I got scared just looking at the second pitch photo. Very good job gents.
