  4. Astroman was faked. Bridwell, Bachar and Kauk actually were climbing on a sound stage in LA.
  5. I just stole mine off the web and photoshopped out the watermarks.
  6. If you have the same biner clipped into the end and the midpoint of the daisy, and the pockets rip, the biner will end up unclipped from the daisy and you will have a blown out loop not connected to the anchor . Basically a PAS is a daisy with every pocket full strength. It costs like $5 more than a regular daisy and weighs about the same but is much more versatile. I don't know why I didn't switch earlier cause the PAS is great!
  7. Smoke Bluffs, Sept. 1990. First day of climbing.
  8. if that is so why do you need to assert it? THREE TONS OF FLAX!
  9. Now that you deleted Pic 8 I get half of pic 2 for bouldering.

  11. um... pic 1 and pic 8 in the ski category are the same ? and it stops loading halfway ( just after pic 1 - bouldering) and there is no votey thing? is this just me???
  12. I only drink Unibroue.
  13. Hops are for losers
  14. colin isn't even in those pictures how are we gonnna get his sponsors to drop him?
  15. the clove hitch has two ropes coming out of it in different directions. hence two potential orientations. the end that gets loaded should be the one next to the spine and away from the gate. in your example, the end that goes to the fig-8 will not be loaded but the other end will be, so... i hope you were tying those right!
  16. Are you okay...I mean I hope you are not just blowing some random figure out your ass. Where else would I get a number like that? Where would anyone get a number like that? There are no numbers like that. You can only estimate numbers like that, which is what I did. You think it's wildly off? I don't. On any given day, I'm guessing of the percentage of folks who own a harness and have been climbing in the last year, only 15-20% are prepared to lead trad. That if gyms and sport routes weren't available there would be an overnight collapse in the number of climbers. It goes hand-in-hand with the fact that most are only looking for risk-averse entertainment; climbing which requires them to personally assume risk is not on their radar. The problem with this new majority is the amount of rock that needs to be bolted to support them outside of gyms. My sole concern is insuring Beacon is not thrown under that particular train even if every other rock in a 100 mile radius of PDX is... EVERY OTHER RANDOM NUMBER you have pulled out of your ass (anyone remember the "Thousands of gym climbers are dying every day!!" shocker) has been demonstrably wrong. Why is this one any different Joe?
  17. how many Americans are named Trask bill?
