  1. It was exactly the situation in which most climbers would have used a cordelette... because they believed it was a tool to equalize a three point anchor. It is directly because of this accident that professionals and guides have reevaluated the cordelette and found it wanting.
  2. You don't see two mountains here do you
  3. Explosive is aid.
  4. Nothing better to do than take your nuts out 8D ?

    why

    In "Battlefield: Earth" the bad guys (John Travolta) use a Base 11 system. That is why they are so bad.
  6. unCAGE tEH sOUL
  7. Did you get a buzz?
  8. Take a look in ANAM at the Tahquitz double fatality where a cordelette caused sequential failure of a three point anchor because it did not equalize the three pieces. Sliding X's or an equalette would not have failed, as simulated replications of the accident using the same gear that failed in the same placements and test weights showed
  9. Pretty much anyone can look at a mountain and see it's a mountain. Prominence comes in when peak baggers don't like certain summits (often because they are too hard) and need to come up with a rationale for not climbing those summits.
  10. Bowlines fail because they can untie themselves. Fig-8s don't (except if tied as an EDK, when they roll even with really long tails). The only complaints about Fig-8s is that they are too hard to untie when projecting sport routes, or that they make you look like a n00b because you have been tying in with a bowline since the days of PA's and you are too oldskool to change and get safe.
  11. Actually, other way around. Bowlines fail. Fig 8s dont.
  12. Cordelettes fail and cause deaths. Sliding X doesn't.

    would those be 2x4 pallets or 2m x 1.5m pallets funny how American climbers have learned to do pitch and rappel lengths in meters.
  17. Dave Schuldt did you ride naked?

    why

    You have resisted the metric system for the same reason that state legislators once proposed making pi equal three.
