Exactly how hard did you get hit on the head by ice? Next time wear a helmet. Your coherence is decohering.

As you walk up the creek from the road the ladder (actually a piece of baling wire tied off with a couple of foot loops) is on your right before the first pool. You mak a few rock moves to get to it and then climb it to a frozen scre slope which can be traversed high on the south side of the canyon above the drainage until above the pool o'doom.

Take that attitude up Night N' Gale or Isodorth and see how accurate it is.

you probably had to take that wire ladder to get around the plunge pool?

By nicoamen do you mean Crucible and did you actually climb it?

The utility of paying $100 up front plus $100/year thereafter for a Spot body recovery device has been confirmed.

This is exciting talk for you - all this mention of tight pup tents, rigid poles and pitching. Isn't it?

ooooh... Biking. In the summer. Yes that is definitely serrrrrious gnar.

OOh, Mr Neck Beard himself!

As Porter is alluding to, maybe you got banned because you're an idiot.

hot mexican sandwich?

Of course, if it's a multi-pitch route, if someone fell 9 feet off the belay while trying to clip, it would be an 18' fall - massive fall factor 2 right onto the anchor. Hanging belay would add the weight of the belayer onto the calculation. If there was a ledge, add potential 2 broken ankles to the score. You don't say anything about the route. What is this anyway, Canadian new math? The route is called BILL SWALLOWS THE HOOK

Sailor Bar was fat this AM but also very wet (-1C with heavy wet snowfall)

Hugh has nothing to erect.

Insult fail.

If no one can understand what you're saying, the failure to communicate is YOURS.

For a fall factor <1, and say you put the first piece in ten feet off the belay, then the next piece goes in at 20, then 40, then 80, then nothing till the top!

Nulear safety, waste and proliferation all combined look like not much of a hazard when stacked up against climate-related death and displacements. That said I'd still rather not have a nuke plant in my vicinity. But then again >90% of my power consumption comes from hydro.

Nuclear is an option that should not be ruled out. Look at France. Sugar cane ethanol is pretty good when you compare it to corn, or indeed, to most other current options. Especially Brazilian sugarcane. As a bridge to cellulosic or algal/microbial fuels it should definitely be pursued. If someone radically changes their position you can usually count it as an admission that their previous position was wrong. What are you looking for, a visit to j_b's confession box for some "forgive me I have sinned" BS?

I know, but have a bunch of SMC shallow angles and a couple of more-experienced-than-I climbers (30+ years of experience) I climbed with refused to use them... and quoted the strength problems as the reason. I have never broken one myself but as they say, forewarned is forearmed.

Friedman is an idiot gasbag, sure. But even idiot gabags can be right (although it may be by accident rather than design). To put down an idea because of the character of the person who espouses it is indeed one of the simplest logical fallacies.

Your math is off I'm only 50,is it tough being a asshole? ! Well - you said you graduated high school 32 years ago so I was generous (despite the evidence) and figured you'd only repeated a grade three times.

Has it been tough being illiterate for 53 years?

Praxis is still together.... their most recent album is only available in Japan though
