  1. I only drink Unibroue.
  2. Hops are for losers
  3. colin isn't even in those pictures how are we gonnna get his sponsors to drop him?
  4. 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!
  5. 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?
  6. how many Americans are named Trask bill?

    if you'd used more sunscreen you wouldn't have moles now.
  14. So what gives - did you guys send or what?
  15. it's physics i switched from a daisy to the metolius PAS. tying in with the rope makes for clusterfucks when rappelling and/or simulclimbing.

    invalid if you don't top out on StoneHenge. the crux is getting back down. i thought the crux was getting there from the highway. isn't it guarded by bunkers full of crazed warshington survivalists?
  19. alaskans are all losers by moving to alaska to climb you automatically gave yourself loser status the only good alaskan climbers do not live in alaska they live in places like bend, oregon or seoul, south korea. and do not have pieces of fruit for middle names
  20. i think to get a scar like that you have to Hit, not Miss

    friday was at smith saturday we hiked to marsupials, sat in a cave for three hours, rain stopped, climbed delirium tremens, rain started again walked back to the bridge. saw everyone leaving, saw it was clearing up, ran to morning glory, climbed 3 more routes that got drier as you climbed them. sunday was sunny and hawt. and busy. climbed a couple of routes next to other peoples' epics. it was fun to watch, but scary when the big fat guy on the next route over stood on a block that i have in the past belayed from, and dislodged it! today it was cold with occasional showers but still fully climbable, cragged till noon then toured the scenic wonders of shaniko, biggs, goldendale, toppenish, thorp, cle elum, issaquah and lynden

  23. and the pies. pie is yummy
  24. ... and a gf
