  2. Krypton... rocketed to Earth when I was only a few days old.
  3. A locker or mini-storage is secure out-of-vehicle storage. Storing stuff in a pickup is just giving it to meth addicts It WILL get stolen.
  4. You can also get more efficient, waste less energy, and dissipate less heat without increasing output though. That's how a lot of the devices similar to what ambys is proposing, that are already on the market, work. Google "viridian design" for more info.
  5. I slept in the cemetary in Van, WA one night. The neighbours were pretty quiet.
  6. It's pretty simple. Think about those kiddy shoes that have blinking LEDs. Most of those are powered by the energy of walking. (There are some that use battery but most are piezoelectric). The kids that wear them don't fall over, even when climbing a hill. You assume that to generate storable energy, 1) extra energy will have to be generated and 2) walker won't be able to compensate for it. Both assumptions are wrong. Firstly, the energy used to charge the device can be deducted from the proportion dissipated as heat (making walking technically more efficient) without requiring additional energy. Secondly, if efficiency is not increased, it is possible for walker to adjust output to compensate, rather than to fall over. Not any different than walking up a hill unloaded, and then walking up the same hill with a 30 lb. pack on. The centre of gravity is different with pack, the walker uses more energy, but does not become unstable and fall over as per your somewhat ridiculous assertion.
  7. Mount Baring is soo big I can see it from on top of your mom, Kevboned.
  8. It's right next to Beacon. Hard to miss.
  9. just two :pagetop:
  10. This displays such a basic misunderstanding of physics that I am boggled.
  11. a new slacklining challenge during the summer!
  12. Ummm could it be that if the shooter had been wearing an MLU, the authorities would have been able to find him much more quickly after the first two killings, thus preventing dozens of further deaths? Why stop at climbers? MLUs for everyone!
  13. Did you click on my LINKS huh??????
  14. If you are travelling roped on a glacier and your partner falls into a crevasse, what are you going to arrest with, your 45 cm ice tool. yep the friction of the rope on the lip does most of the work. sometimes just sitting down will be enough to stop the fall.
  15. omg throw in a couple of bolts to protect this scary flake!
  16. I wonder if there's a Mexican climbers' forum where they wonder about heading to Yosemite for all summer and maybe working under the table a bit...
  17. Yes....it seems kids these days don’t know how to socialize, all they know how to do is get back to the cascadeclimbers.com as quick as possible.
  18. It's hella hard to kill 30 people with a knife, or a bow and arrow.
  19. And licking the windows
  20. Just relax and let Uncle Catbirdseat teach you your knots. It won't hurt a bit.
  21. Stuff it full of s and it will stay there forever.
  22. Don't knock it. I can't curl worth shit, but it's badass. Top curlers are like full-on Zen masters. If you've ever read the koan of the tea ceremony master and the samurai, you'll know where I'm coming from.
  23. That one doesn't look so different from this:
  24. If it leads to more attractive climbers, I'll align myself with it.
  25. useful linkity links
