Speed is safety. Sewing up a crack is slow. Therefore it is unsafe. placing a lot of nutz

Can Predator drones do cavity searches?

is five feet tall = cute?

no. totally serious. teh system is down except for cc.com

does kurt's CBP hat stand for "crazy bob polish"

The tech guy is here switching over our server and replumbing our system of tubes. Right now cc.com is teh only site on the whole Interweb that will load. Be more funny. I need a fix.

I'm certain it would have been hidden down a pant leg by the time you got to the border. Just in case that cute girl was working the PeaceArch again.

yes, your mass is considerable

i'm pretty sure you can get muffy to jump out of the cake but you're going to have to use some trickery and strategery to get arch into a cheerleader outfit. Do you think if we get him blasted drunk he'd do it???? I don't know Arch well enough to know if he'll come out (manifest) under those conditions. how big is the closet?

So he didn't go to Zero Gully again?

gom jabbar?

When in Doubt, Run It Out

rumr, i heard they didn't just snip your tube, they replumbed it up and into the back of your throat so you can give yourself a quick Gu shot?

about $200 a jacket too mass-market. the power of branding!

a boomstick is the long straight log they use to form up the edges of a log boom boom stick crack is a long straight crack Corner Crack has always been 5.7.

Here's the proof...

Dru is talking about a first piece which is not omnidirectional, like a nut. If your first piece is a cam or two nuts in opposition, then you can place it low and it can be used to prevent the pieces above from zippering. If you place the piece low enough and take a good whipper you can generate enough force that it will rip no matter how directional it is. And a low piece will generate serious ropedrag too. All in all if you don't place low pieces you will have a much lower possibility of gear zippering than if you do.

What is she a graduate student of? Basket weaving?

Nope... it's something that is worth $300 a cubic meter right now.

Now on zippering. As was noted this is affected by how closely your belayer stands to the base of the route. But what is not as commonly thought of is that the lower your first piece is, the more likely it is to zipper. wanna test this? put a piece in two feet off the ground and start leading. The rope will make a right angle bend through this first piece pretty much no matter where your belayer stands in relation to the crag. If you fall, this piece will have a huge outwards and upwards pull on it and will probably zipper. So if you want to avoid your gear zippering, avoid a low first piece. Lots of people get this seriously wrong.

you may as well just skip the 10 and go 15, 25, 35 but you know if you have to have a measuring tape out figuring where to put pro in you probably shouldn't be leading...
