  1. The Moose in Brother Bear (but then, I've always loved Strange Brew, eh).
  2. Leo Fender wasn't much of a musician, nor a builder. Yet, he revolutionized the guitar. Sometimes it takes somebody out of the loop and removed from the trenches of the paradigm to lend a fresh perspective and offer up creative solutions.
  3. Not exactly, jk. You just get an email message that tells you that you have received a PM, and gives a hotlink to get to your My Home page on cc.com. At least, I haven't been able to go to a PM directly from my email inbox. That's weird -- I get the link, but I get the sender, the subject, and the text of the message as well. Water under the bridge ...
  4. Givler's was relatively easy for the grade (especially the 2nd pitch) and takes gear well. It's worth doing at least once if you haven't done so already.
  5. So, that's what that hexadecimal to English secret decoder ring I received with my CC.com welcome packet is for.
  6. If you set your preferences to be notified of PMs via email you can at least read incoming messages.
  7. You're going to kill somebody with advice like that. The belay biner goes through the gear loop on the right side so as not to interfere with your gear sling on the left (assuming you're not catbirdseathanded and always belay with a full rack (just in case)). Pages and pages of How Do You Clip Your Belay Biner ...
  8. If you use enough tape, it's not offwidth anymore. As for climbing aids, it's a continuum; I don't think taping is anywhere near as offensive as pulling on gear.
  9. If that's the case, then the problem might be your partner's gear shifting up!
  10. How many kilometerstones would that be?
  11. When I did it, there were bats on the first pitch ... so, what is the rating when you're crimping instead of using the bat infested jams?
  12. Less than half of the prescriptions for Viagra actually get refilled. It seems it is easier to simply have an excuse (can't get it up) than to actually have to deal with all of the other issues involved (communication).
  13. Speaking of Satisfaction ... I noticed there is a loose block at the top, but it's not so loose that I could set if free quite yet. So, be careful, as I'm sure it will be coming down soon ...
  14. I'm wondering if there is a correlation between Jon's mood and the stability of the site? + =
  15. Hey Sketch! Passive and/or active pro in the small to medium size range should get you through. The basalt cracks provide many options for gear and the climbs are relatively short (though slimy in the sun).
  16. Extensive research and focus group testing by both public relations and marketing consultants has determined that this is only the beginning of the solution to repositioning the CC.com brand in the eyes of consumers ... At this point, it's not the actual site that matters so much as how it is perceived.
  17. Perhaps they noticed that your license plate was spelled wrong?
  18. Probable-y because you were driving ...
  19. Again, you probably have to know somebody ... Access to the Coburg Caves is rarer than a thread on cc.com without spray.
  20. There is climbing to be had at the Coburg Caves. However, as it is all on private property, you have to have permission to be there. The nearby nude recreation area on the river, however, is open to the public.
  21. It was his birthday present to himself!
  22. Well, I screwed it up the second time, too. Just not as bad. What is that, some kind of an alpine approach? There should be signs or something. Speaking of which, per your request, they installed pointers on the popular routes at Smith so you don't ledge out on easiest, most heavily trafficked multi-pitch route there again.
  23. And I've heard of newbies projecting Classic Crack. Probably not a good one either.
  24. I didn't think Vantage was that bad when I went -- and at the time I was a newbie who had never been there before. Apparently, I was lucky to walk away unscathed!
  25. Obviously. But to say everything at Vantage is going to turn into a newbie epic, for instance, is a bit much. Party In Your Pants offers two cracks to work with, plenty of gear options, and bolted anchors. Kids sport climb at The Feathers. Just saying that it would be beneficial to the thread to separate location from operator error.
