The Evazote yellow pads are mentioned quite often here. Because the RidgeRest has been around for a while I am going to assume that quite a few of you have switched from it to the "yellow pad". Why? Thank you!

I saw an eVent bivy bag (1) at Marmot today - 3/17/05. Made by ID, I think.

I saw 4 or so pairs. Size note: everything I wear is L, this gloves are best for me in M. Don't know what sizes they have, I just saw M. I already have a pair.

Thank you, sobo.

The second pitch of City Park, towards Sloe Children, has been climbed as is for years. It is protectable - the bolt should not be upgraded, or repositioned, IMO. Remove/patch would be nice, if the bolt is unsafe for aiding.

I was asked abou this at work... Is there a route up McClellan's (or is it a secret)? I hiked the regular trail once, but cannot recall noticing a route.

Ooops, forgot the price - $300.

I bought this bag with great plans in mind that did not pan out. Ended up using it for just one night, and not needing it anymore. Slept in underwear and socks. The bag is in impeccable condition, practically new. Always stored either hanging or lying down, unstuffed and unfolded. Comes with the original stuff sack. Maximum time it was ever stuffed is about 10 hours. Contact me for any other information and more pictures.

Rog and Dan, what an inspiration, thank you. You rock!

Rockies, Squamish, Bugs... The list goes on, so I'll pay, hope it makes the MF-ers bleed. Time to finally get a radar detector... OK, thank you all, guys

Hello, everyone. Does anybody have experience, or knowledge about not paying a speeding ticket in Canada for US residents? Am I going to be banned form Canada? Do their collection agencies work across the borders transparently? One of my headlights was out and they requested that I fix and show up with the car at the nearest police station within 2 days. Is this to annoy me or there is a single f-in police network across the continent? I am going to pay most likely (hope they choke on in), but interested in options. Thank you in advance

I'd be considering it then too, because I'd get a second pick set and modify - thin out - for ice. I think Grivel put these out for marketing reasons - to be ahead of others. This way all the testing is done by users and they release a full(er) version later. All the while being considered the leader. MSFT does this often. BTW, it's not about breaking the pick, but filing it down really quick. The mass market is not the pros, I had nice and round picks (BD) after just one day.

See one of the latest Gripped, there is a photo of Barry Blanchard on a first ascent with one of these.

Ah, wasn't thinking. Agreed, and both have happened to me, been lucky. Once fought a Metolius to not go perpendicular to wall, got pissed (hanging all the while) and replaced with Alien. Never thought of opposing (dumbass). Yes, have been there too so placed a "head-piece" and went on to a better spot. Been lucky, huh. I guess you have to be running 20mi/wk and swimming and doing yoga to hang on one arm constructing this things Hats off. Thank you!

Age old. You'll end up having both setups - thick/thin + dbl - sooner or later if you keep climbing

I hope I am not missing smth. If each piece is holding mostly on its own, why have opposing setup at all? Is this for the (belay) anchors? I thought opposing is necessary for horisontal placements... Please elaborate. Thanks.

Is chuch the same as monk?

Hmmm, Oly, it sounds like you were a bit apprehensive to climb above the last bolt and clip conveniently. What do you think?

[quote... all those wet and short wi3 fa's in hope are all yours Yep.

ISn't this thing on I-84?

Deuter PlusOne: was it at MEC?

Bug, do you have any farsightedness symptoms now? I almost went for a surgery, but with contacts I am farsighted, so most thought it would be the same with the former. Any info? Thanks, man.
