Is this a photo of one of those Mounties scrambling courses?

I bet YOUR bra says "bra" on it too.

Mixture of real aid, French free and free climbing with alpine rack . As opposed to big wall style with giant wall rack, portaledges, etc. like you might aid on El Cap with belay slave sending up extra pins on the tagline and changing tunes on the boombox for you.

As long as you have good winter tires you'll be fine. Oh wait - no one in WA has winter tires.

It's one of those chicken and egg things. You need to have biofuel-burning cars and infrastructure in place to make the switch from petroleum. Certainly, making ethanol from expensive corn is a dumb idea in the long term, and also in the short term if you can buy it cheaply made from sugarcane in Brazil. But the idea of starting getting the infrastructure and vehicles in place now and switching over the raw materials as cellulosic sources come online is a good one.

In the paper it points out that using biomass harvested from existing land cover (switchgrass from existing prairie, wood chips from existing forest etc.) pays for itself in 1 crop rotation - 1 year in case of prairie grass.

TCH is back open through Boston Bar but you have to love this quote:

After 14 years, New Kids on the Block just announced their reunion. like OMGZ sickie

If you read the original paper - it's not the fuel itself that's the problem, it is entirely the land clearing.

The cornice will be a big problem along the NW face and by the time it's gone (late May) the start gully will be bush city. You might want to think about starting via the NE Ridge, that's less corniced. Also going out by Lucky 4 will easily add most of a day, why not just head down to Williamson Lake from Foley?

The Rocker is way bigger than a Tibloc or Ropeman - it's the size of a GriGri, basically - and so I don't think it'd be very smart to use for alpine simuling.

Sounds like a fun place to visit - just don't forget to pack your trunk.

Those are not fears. Don't quibble. Like if I say "Bug, I'm afraid I already ate the last piece of pie, and there's none for you." it doesn't mean I'm scared.

You're the one I feel sorry for - you and your kids. I am glad I'm not related to you. A child should not fear their parents. Do you beat yours?

I can't fear what I love. And fear leads to hate of what you fear so if you fear something now but don't hate it, eventually you will. Parents. When you did something wrong as a child your feared your parents, especially after they found out. Nope.

I can't fear what I love. And fear leads to hate of what you fear so if you fear something now but don't hate it, eventually you will.

ya, and you turn into a prune inside. no thanks.

Tvash will open a twistoff with his anus soon. leading to internal injuries.

I saw a guy pop out his glass eye and open a pry-off in his socket once.

I foresee your obituary. Cause of death: perforated anus.

I can post more than any of you. Oh shit, I won AGAIN.

Why do you hate Ron Paul?

VBLs suck. Overbags are way better. Analogy: when you put on your insulated, synthetic belay parka over your wet clothing the heat of your body pushes the wet out from your clothing and into the parka, and your clothing dries. Same process with overbag over sleeping bag. A VBL comes into its own if it is both really cold and really wet outside - somewhere like South Georgia Island or Baffin - and the bag+overbag system can't generate a moisture gradient.

Ya, there's some name for that medical condition where too much masturbation leads to loss of sensitivity.
