    High Speed Rail

    Does the city of Seattle have its voter-demanded monorail yet?

    Bacon dust...

    There is some good climbing on chalk...
  3. Something with a dry treatment that has a smooth finish?

    slow news

    So was that crazy Hearst guy fast or slow?
  5. What if COBRA made everyone's Farm Fresh free range painted eggs hatch out into killer dinos on Easter? OMG!! GI Joe The Movie III plot!
  6. Is a water bag and gear cache a "fixed installation" governed by some sort of wilderness legislation?
  7. The perfect rack is the one in the Prana top
  8. Cortisone shots treat symptoms, not problem. Your tendons will rot and you'll end up crippled.
  9. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/090825/oddities/canada_science_research_paleontology_offbeat How do you feel about getting turned into a tyrannosaur, buddy?
  10. The further you are from the autolock the easier it is to get the rope through.... if your hands are only 1-2 feet from the device it may suck. Try more like 6 feet.
  11. Beckey may not give this one huge detail in the guide but he sure talks it up in person, and it looks like a good one.
  12. Freeze-thaw could affect the strength of the bolt in the hole but not the strength of the hanger, which sounds more like metal fatigue and/or corrosion problems?
  13. Start your command prompt and type "delete C:\*.*"
  14. Can't be due to sport climbing Peter, the sport climbers wouldn't be having sex with girls. They would be having sex with the other sport climbing boys.
  15. Take a peak like Wedge Mountain near Whistler. Q: Why the fuck would you suffer up the west ridge when you could climb the north arete? A: You are a peak bagger with no technical skills. Q: What would typically happen if you did suffer up the west ridge? A: You would decide that you needed to learn some technical skills like glacier crossing ASAP so you wouldn't have to grovel up that fucking mobile boulder pile choss heap shit mound ever again.
  16. I dunno it seems accurate to me!

    Sport vs Trad

    This didn't get much (any) press in the North American climbing magazine but the comments about how popular trad adventure climbing is becoming these days in Spain are pretty neat: http://arcteryx.com/Article.aspx?article=Josune-Bereziartu-and-Rikar-Otegui-make-first-free-ascent-on-El-Castillo
  18. For either steel or plastic, volume ice = 1.10 * volume of water. So for a 1 litre bottle, filling it 900 mL full of water should make 990 ML of ice or basically full without exerting extra pressure. Even a 1L plastic bottle entirely full of water can break if you freeze it. But really, basalt doesn't offer a lot of filtration. Springs in basalt = drinking untreated surface water.
  19. Charlie aid soloed some A4 route on that face in winter too... and probably a bunch of other routes that I don't remember hearing about.
  20. Oh boy, you're gonna write TRs for tree-covered hills like Klenke?
  21. Bill, if a friend told you that eating your own shit was nutritious, would you do it? EDIT: you probably would. You are that gullible.
  22. See, that's hooey. Dude's never ridden a mountain bike.
  23. I'd be interested if you could find any quotes by Pat Ament that are actually any good. Even in his Supertaco posts... Didn't he switch to selfpublishing just so he wouldn't ever have to get his prose edited?
  24. A helmet would just make you a corpse with good hair
