Heat Transfer in Cold Climates, Virgil Lunardini. on hiatus is Words and Rules by Steven Pinker. I got the latest Joe Simpson as a present so that'll probably be next.

I bet there's a fair number of mortals willing to help with this that'll even let you eat a samwich while you listen

I declare this the last post in this thread. I dare you to not get the last word tomcat.

this thread needs this:

Pub Club fights never get ghettoized in Spray. I think a guy with a name like Bra-Meister would fit in well at Pube Club.

Clean Corner ?

only 15 more pages to go. Well done. I am sure we have only skimmed the surface of this extremely important topic.

maybe the Scimitar too. you wanna ropegun it for me? .11b OW sounds fun . Also maybe Hypertension or whatever that .11a-ish thing at Murrin is called.

it's too small for Pipeline - #6 Friend baby. maybe Split Beaver though.

this is such an important and new discussion I hope it goes to 16 pages.

or maybe he's turned ghee ?

mnemonic?

sure - but I think PV=nRT refutes what you are saying about cold air = high pressure.

cbs said: I quote from my own link above:

click this one has some numbers. Still, I don't see how you can make them tell you that the effect is equivalent to a 4000' disparity. My envelope-back number crunching says maybe 1100' is reasonable, considering the Himalaya is not equatorial and Denali is not polar.

I'm with Dru ... i think I read somewhere that the scientific explanation for the altitude/latitude thing was bunk. But from what I've been told it's subjectively true that a given altitude is 'harder' at high latitudes than low. Eg, I was told 5000m on Mt Logan feels like 6000m in the Cordillera Blanca. My guess is that the extra cold and dryness and remoteness play a role. Also I would bet that some of this 15% body mass loss on short expeditions involves a lot of water loss, not fat or muscle.

I got a hook you guys are too easy

I also went to MEC and bought something to augment my rack.

I don't have a scanner. I am 99% sure now that it is the S.Face of Prussik, probably the Stanley Burger route. I guess calling it the Lost World Plateau sounds cooler even if not strictly correct.

welcome back Tom

this:

I am not that dumb.

... the caption says "Lost World Plateau". One of the climbers is Doug Ingersoll. What formation and route is this? it looks really fun!

...or an entire box of bolts and hangers for the price of one ($2). the purchaser even asked if they were sure that was the right price, and yep.

i have never been climbing. my friend did. he sent me a story about it. it is fun to read: link
