Yeah...totally sad. He, too, was one of my heroes. His Trango Tower ascent was very inspiring to me in my early days.

It's equal parts webbing and "stretched" shock cord. When the shock cord springs back, the webbing will accordion.

Interesting read

That dude in Westlake was stoked he had a gun...

Yeah...bummer Lambone. Sorry to hear about your loss. Here's another one to lost friends.

Julbo has something pretty close coming out next year. I couldn't find a picture of them on the web, but I saw them at the show. Too bad they don't fit me

It depends. Down is routinely transported by condensing it to the density of a brick, then shipped for days/weeks at a time with no loss of loft. However, it's perfectly clean. If you take a dirty sleeping bag full of body grease, cooties, spilled soup and whatever else and keep it stuffed with that stuff degrading the down inside, it will certainly affect it negatively.

Doh! Busted! I'll call you tonight/tomorrow.

Sound like fun...I haven't been to one forever. Hey Snugtop - do you ride?

Second place is the first loser.

Dude...you're a dick.

Then he'll be full of shit.

Smart ass

Yeah - I saw it in LA when I was down there also. It's absolutely fascinating. Did they bring the guy on his horse to Seattle?

because you can actually have too much of a good thing...?

check the custom top-sheets at the same website where you can order the calendar.

I love people who go out of their way to gain that precious 15 feet in front of you This goes for those idiots who nearly kill themselves passing you on a twisty mountain road...even though you're waiting behind five other cars who are going just as slow.

Nice

Kick ass Gretchen - very inspiring

I guess it depends on how much your weight fluctuates. It's not uncommon for 'rasslers to be 15-20 pounds heavier in the off-season...

No way you can put those two names in the same sentence. Whacko Grizzly Man guy wouldn't be able to tear a picture of the Crocodile Hunter in half!

No kidding - big bummer

Oh my god...I flinched every single time.

Ughhhh...painful to watch.
