Bummer...that was good little shop. I guess you can make the short trip north to MEC though.

He also has a family (with a HOT wife) and his foundation to think about, too.

Here's one for Lance Here's one for the USPS team: and here's one for Tyler:

What kind of climbing are you going to do with it? If you're humping heavy loads, I might suggest a pack with good suspension.

That was me climbing with my friend and her daughter. I watched Stim lead most of the route just to the left of the 2 guys and girls.

Spoken like a guy who only carries quickdraws and a 9.8mm rope. Leg muscles are where it's at in a lot of sports. Come on guys...quit making fun of his skinny wittle birdlegs

I built my Cannondale two years ago with an Ultegra grouppo after having ridden steel bikes for awhile (both road and mountain). Depending on how much you weigh (I'm about 180), you'll notice the difference in the frame stiffness when sprinting or climbing out of the saddle - it is much more responsive. A drawback is that you'll feel ever bump in the road. WRT compononents don't settle for anything less than 105. Ultegra is great, but you don't need Dura-Ace unless you make your living riding your bike. Also, don't sacrifice frame and fork quality for the parts upgrade. Components are cheap and easier to replace down the road - especially with previous model years. That stuff is easy to find on the internet. Consider building it from scratch. It could save you a few bucks and you'll never need to have someone else repair it - you'll pretty much know and learn everything to keep it on the road.

Hey Pencil Pusher...which group were you with? I was right next to that old guy leading the 5.9 today - that was pretty cool to see

How about some GPS data?

Spoken like a true 5.10 climber for life. Hey...I resemble that remark...

These guys are biology experiments! It's kind've cool to see how the body adapts to workouts designed for a singular purpose/activity. I dig that stuff.

I think that's it Renton...and rumor has it, it's unclimbed! Go get some

Don't tell these guys that

From the article: "A change in climate is believed to have caused the accident." If that's the case, it probably still is.

He should try circling the error with a red pen.

Around this time last year...

This stuff might work too:

I went climbing yesterday and it got cold enough during the day I actually had to put a jacket on. That felt soooo good.

First pitch of Midway has some good body scumming action. I dunno if it's considered a chimney though.

In my experience on the DC, the crowds will come out of Muir in two waves: 1) People trying to beat RMI to the Cleaver. They'll bust out of Muir around midnight. 2) RMI. They'll leave Muir around 1:30 - 2:00 am. Either get on the Cleaver before that first group, or jump right in front of RMI when they're taking their break at Ingraham Flats. By that time most of group 1 will be at the top of the Cleaver.

Isn't that the operation he's asking for?
