    Ahh what a life. This lucky bastard actually makes money by publishing trolls! [chubit] This one's a little too obvious. He even says that golfers should be considered athletes. [laf]

    Rainy epics this weekend?

    Yeah, what a bullshit weather forecast for the weekend! It was supposed to mostly sunny with only minor morning clouds. What a load of crap. Spent 2 days in tent waiting for a crack in the sky to get up Baker. When the weather briefly broke got blasted by big winds up near the col. Oh well, they can't all be success stories I guess. [Mad]

    Tele or Randonee???

    Ok, so I'm really geeking out by even thinking about this shit on a 90 degree day in July but

    I am interested in trying backcountry skiing this upcoming season. I'm currently a snowboarder

    but I think they are pretty difficult to work into a mountaineering setting, and the split boards look

    pretty dodgy to me. The deadline for the cheapest snoqualmie pass seasons pass is the end of this month.

    (Heads up if you care!) I think it would be a great place to learn to ski for a season.

    What would people recommend for a set-up? Tele, or Randonee? I want to eventually

    be able to use this stuff for mountaineering activities. The differences between the two are

    kind of confusing. Any recommendations? [Cool]

    Is there a difference in the type of ski you should look for? As far as boots go, I climb

    with Scarpa Invernos. Does anyone ski using these boots? Are the advantages to buying a real 'Randonee' boot worth it? I imagine it would be better. From what I understand with the Randonee set-up you can either make normal alpine style turns, or you can free the heel and make tele turns if you ever get good enough to actually do it. Thanks for the info! [Wink][Razz]

    Actually I took note of something a few years ago to the contrary. A bicyclist was trying to sue a motorist who clipped him while he was riding across a crosswalk. If the bicyclist had been walking their bike, they would have been considered a pedestrian. Since he was riding his bike, he was a moving vehicle and thus lost the case.

     

    Once in Bellingham, a bored cop pulled me over for riding my bicycle through a stop light. I must have looked slightly amused so he decided to give me a breathalizer test. I really started busting up and laughing my head off. The more I laughed, the more loaded he thought I was. I was stone cold sober. When the test came up with nada, the look on his face was priceless! He went off grumbling about being to busy to give me a ticket. I was actually a little disappointed, I would have framed the thing!

    Article on Barrabes

    in The Gear Critic

    Out of curiosity I just wasted a half hour of work time cruising around on barrabes' site. While they did have the BD ice tool, and rock shoes for cheaper, the BD and WC Tech Friends were about the same price as they go for here. It seems like only some of the prices are really good, while others are only normal. BD may be trying to break into the Euro market by selling gear at cost with the axes. Why aren't the cams cheaper? I'm not shopping for anything right now but when I need to I'll probably use this site. You would really need to know the EXACT size of any footwear you buy because it would REALLY suck to have to send something back to Europe.

    Jobe, next time walk. Those guys have enough on their hands without dealing with whiners like you. Step back and look at the BIGGER picture and just be really thankful that you can fly in there at all! It's a privilege to be able to have them scoop you up so you can relax with a cold one back in Talkeetna. Why shouldn't he take tourists on flights? He has a great point. Just accept it. [big Drink]

    Got blisters?

    in Climber's Board

    Yeah, the duct tape works better than any athletic, or medical tape because it stays on your foot for a few days. When I'm breaking in the boots, I'll tape up the feet in the usual places BEFORE the climb and have never gotten a blister when I've done that. The Invernos are unusual in that they are chafing my shins. I'll be taping my shins quite well next time I wear them. Otherwise they are way more comfortable than I ever thought plastics would be.

    Jedi, I just got a pair of Inverno's and I really love them but the shin bash thing is a bit too much. I don't get any blisters in the usual places. If I could find a solution for the shin bash, they would be perfect. If I keep wrapping my leg in duct tape I might as well just shave my legs. What was the solution you were describing in detail?
