are you sure you mean Taoist and not Tantric?

Better to teach safe belaying than to have autobelays. Autobelay device failed and killed a client in a UK gym last year.

"Sensory Exotica: A World Beyond Human Experience" by Howard C. Hughes (not the famous guy) lists 9 senses that humans do not have. Polarized vision, UV and IR spectrums, electroreception, sonar & echolocation (bats and dolphins/whales), ultrasonic hearing, magnetosense, and pheremone smelling

You can drive in via West Harrison to Mystery Creek with a 4wd

First redpoint or FFA gets to (re)name route. Long standing precedent. Example: Astroman

I've always wanted to have extra senses. Sonar or echolocation would be teh coolest. No more headlamps!

Comon dude you asked a dumb question, what do you expect. If one of YOUR friends gave crystal meth to his own kid would you let him off cause he's a friend? Probably not. Probably if a friend did that they wouldn't be your friend aymore, right? But really it's a bullshit hypothetcal qustin designd to imply that you friends are meth heads, right? Same with you and your "If one of your friends was a total wanker and asked to to stay off a proj for two years would you do it" question. My friends aren't wankers so the question is unaskable.

Like I said. My friends are not ego-driven possessive assholes. They would not try and keep a project they could not send private. The type of red-tagging you describe is only found at small, low-quality American crags, and is a local disease of those crags.

So easy to say that when you are in another country. If it was your good friend who is the injured and he asked to make the FFA no matter how long it took? Would you tell him to f....off? Or would you respect? My friends would, and have, offered up their projects if unable to complete themselves within a reasonable time. And I have done the same. Sounds like you guys just have big fish in a small pond syndrome.

Take a look at Smith Rocks guide and you'll see plenty of routes bolted by Watts and sent by Tribout with or without Watts permission. Some when Watts was injured. Some that Watts has never been able to redpoint.

Injured, so what? He should be happy to let others climb his route. Establishing a new line is a public service, not some ego thing. When he heals up and eventually climbs it the moves are going to be the same no matter how many ascents it has had by then.

It's easier to do it the other way around.

Subject: Another sat-nav accident: car destroyed, driver escapes Accepting satellite-navigation directions without sufficient thought has caused another accident. A young woman in Great Britain followed its directions onto a country lane which was blocked by a gate. At first she thought it was a dead end, she said, but "the sat nav insisted it was the correct way so I opened it and drove through." After the first gate there was a second one, so she got out to close the first gate and open the second one, apparently not thinking about why there might be two gates across a road, or why there was a sign saying to proceed "if the light is green". (None of the news reports I found says any more about that light than that the sign existed.) while she was out of her car, a train came along the tracks and demolished it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/south_west/6646331.stm How soon before someone on Hood follows GPS track into a crevasse?

Two years is two years too long. Good for the unauthorized sender. If everyone waited years and years for bolters to send every project half the routes on the continent would still have rotting red tags. Time before a project goes open should be proportional to time it takes to prep it. If it takes a day to clean and bolt it should be "off limits" for a day. If it takes a month to scrub then give the bolter a month to send. Too much route camping is about the ego of bolters establishing projects way beyond their ability. A little competition will teach them to be more realistic.

You should be able to place pro every "bodylength" with that rack even if you have a body as short as RuMRs.

It's not about moral equivalence at all. But we both agree that it's OK to celebrate the deaths of bad people. I just include hatemongers like Falwell in my list of "bad people".

If you stand next to RuMR, you'll look taller and thinner!

*bump* So NOLSe, where's dat NNB TR?

okey FW. How far do you extend your own "Say no ill of the deceased" policy. If bin Laden gets killed will you say pious-sounding homilies about the deceased or will you be happy?

did they do any follicle implants while they were stitching up there
