Howz about all the people who posted poo-pooing this diet based on their education and their profession.

Ummm...okay: You're stupid.

Most everyone I know has one of these. They're great under shells because they don't take up much room, almost as a warm as a fleece and breathe tons better - great for ice climbing. They're too warm to run or approach in for me, but I run pretty hot. If you don't have one already you should check it out. My dos centavos.

A fat ugly woman moved into a new apartment next to a pet shop. Every morning she'd have to walk out in front of the pet shop to get her bus stop, and every morning the parrot sitting in the window would say, "Squawk...you are the fattest and ugliest woman I've ever seen!...Squawk" After about a week of this, the fat ugly woman walked into the store and screamed at the owner, within earshot of the bird, that if parrot said that one more time she'd buy it just so she could kill it. The next morning she walks in front of the pet store and looks in the window menacingly. The bird looks back and says, "You know:"

Stick this in your bathroom:

word.

My contribution: Just as I was about to lean back on the rappel anchor from atop Monkey Face, I noticed my harness wasn't doubled back.

Ummm...so what's your point? There are a lot of things done in rescue scenarios that you wouldn't do on your own trips. Tiblocs can also be placed on pieces when simul-climbing - something that a team might do on 50 - 60 degree ice.

I just stumbled across this and found it pretty interesting: Early 1900's Mountaineers trips

Keepin' it real.

"Dudes...check out the fuckin' bood music up in this mutha fucka - yeahhhhh."

or get a couple of tiblocs.

Just like any other fad diet - if you truly believe it will work...it will work. I think it's a bunch of hooey.

Lame.

guys...it called a STICHT plate. Stitch plates are on sewing machines.

Okay...whatever you want to call 'totally in control' is fine Be careful of them lightweight parts - sometimes a few extra grams is worth more longevity.

mmmmm...

Get out, you can be in control of the bike at 45 mph. Most of the time when I have problem on my road bike with drivers, I think they don't realize you can move just as fast as them at times. Depends on what you mean by control. 45 mph on a road bike means you can steer it, but there's no stopping it within a reasonable amount of time if something jumps out in front of you. You're also praying to baby jesus your front tire doesn't blow

If you double the rope up, you reduce the amount of elongation. More force is transferred to the piece, which would normally be soaked up by the dynamic property of a single rope.

Holy balls

If replacing cell phones with these things eliminates the "guess where I am" phone calls on summits - that's okay with me.

If ya'll are serious I can get his itinerary and ETA when he swings back to town. He plans on stopping and climbing in BC, swinging through Vantage and riding back on I-90.

She looks good in pictures. Good PR for the war machine.

Jesus...the first time you take your new bike out you wreck it. Holy balls. Hope your bike is ok.
