The only rule I have is to make sure I'm high enough so that I don't blast one right in my belayers face. Nacho, if you did that to me you might end up with a lil' bit' o slack in yo' rope.

I'll second the CM Black Ice. It has aggressive secondary points for the steeper snow and actually doesn't do too bad climbing ice.

I lasted all of 6 seconds.

Yeah...why are you selling your 'binners to go climbing? Something wrong with these particular ones?

That created a nice mental picture for me.

I guess it was a trade off for me. Hump a big pack in, or go light and fast. Now it depends on who I'm going with and I guess I'm open to both styles. They both have their merits, and as I get older, I can appreciate spending more time enjoying the view, especially if it's with my climbing babe. However if I just have weekend to do a long route, I'll get up and down as fast as I can.

I'm down for .75 cent burgers.

If the choice is between better salad or cheaper beer let's remember this is "Pub Club", not "Veggie Rabbit Food Woosie Salad Club"

Happy blows it, Jman scores, Figger Eight with the assist.

Do I get the assist?

Yeah, the Buckaroo might be a little small for us...especially after seeing the turnout the other night.

A penguin was driving through Arizona one day when his car started spewing all sorts of smoke into the air. He sputtered into a gas station and asked for help. The mechanic said it'll take him an hour do diagnose the problem, and in the meantime the penguin can walk down the street to ice cream shop and get a cone. The penguin got a vanilla ice cream cone, but since he couldn't use his tongue, he kept poking his beak into it. An hour later he walks back to the mechanic and asks what was wrong with his car. "It looks like you blew a seal," the mechanic says. The penguin replies, "No, that's just the ice cream."

This thread reminds me of when my friends and I are riding in a car and it's been quiet for too long. Someone has to say something just to say something. So here's my contribition: "something"

Who cares if they work for BD after they get out? Like you said before, they might've just gotten busted for smoking dope. "Prisoners not being able to form a union" is easily one of the silliest comments I've read on this board ever. That was great

I've used them in the past and have no complaints. They're a good deal for the price. quote: Prison labor is all about the lack of choice. The prisoners dont get to choose to be hired by Omega. They get, well, not exactly forced, but... Hey Dru, they made the choice to break into a car and get their ass thrown in jail. It's either this or license plates, and this world needs more carabiners, not cars [ 03-20-2002: Message edited by: Figger Eight ]

Owl and Thistle. I'm there.

Malice, trickery, corruption, bribery, and "a lot of other bad things" are part of the reason I'm here. And I vote Owl and Thistle.

You're right, RMI can charge as much as they want and still book all of their trips. In the five years I've been dealing with them they've raised they're prices over $200 bucks. As far as defacto police: I've never been up that route without seeing a ranger either on the trail or at the shack. It is still the default route on the mountain and you can see all sorts of weirdness up there on any give day.

I just got done watching the 9-11 documentary and all I have to say is: We cannot drop too many bombs on those terrorist motherf'ers.

Crazy Woman StoryI love what her lawyer says at the end.

If enough monkeys were typing on a keyboard at the same time, eventually they would come up with a Shakespeare play. Is that how it goes? Anyways, I don't care how people spell...I spell AlpineK: P - U - S - S - Y
