  1. By Squamish standards neither is 3-star Both are better than pretty much every route in Warshington, though.
  2. you guys ever hear of Marko Preselj? He's the one who leads all the hard pitches for House...
  3. Fuck you G-spotter. How many mercury slurpees did your mother swallow again? Or, had she huffed so much paint thinner she couldn't remember.
  4. Net Okie migration to California seems to have stabilized. Grapes of Wrath calmed by Prozac.
  5. Hey if you can free The Optimist on lead without clipping the bolts, by all means feel free to chop the ones you don't use. But if winching yourself up on aiders is the only way you can get (it) up, then zip it.
  6. how many bolts were added when freeing routes at Index, eh? isn't the answer "a whole lot"?
  7. And were you all scammed, or most scammed? The all scammer is the one having the most scam?
  8. Per capita? Slovenia probably.
  9. Mr Jones went leashless long before it was fashionable... ask him?
  10. also wouldn't they get bruises on their knees?
  11. pics?
  12. Waving is soooo 20th century. Just Bluetooth them a quick t/y.
  13. All Joe Alpine Spam, All The Time
  14. Enginering research at UBC in the 1980's found that when webbing was wetted and frozen it lost up to 1/3 or more of its strength. Interestingly when wetted, frozen webbing as dried out, the dry webbing after was statistically slightly stronger than before it was wetted/frozen.
  15. Ice melts under pressure.. a sharp edge in ice cannot cut cord because the cord will melt it into a blunt edge. Probably your tat was bunk or something.
  16. You know why Zeros don't go that big? Cause regular Tech Friends work just fine in that size. Get a Friend. Think that size is the 1.5 or 1.75.
  17. Ruth's Mother: Ruth, you listen to me! Don't you do it! What if I'd aborted you? Ruth: Well at least I wouldn't have had to suck your boyfriend's cock! Ruth's Mother: Don't you bring that up again! That's ancient history! I've been saved! Ruth: Fuck you! ------------------- Ruth: [after seeing a movie about abortion] I slept in a few dumpsters. Maybe I slept on some babies.
  18. no, silly, because of the mole men.

    damn it feels good to be a gangsta
  22. And if they give birth to a girl, name her Mary.
  23. It says that in all the books, but I don't think it works. The angle of the hole is determined with the first few turns, so if you fuck up the orientation of the second hole by more than a few degrees right at the start, you miss the first hole.
  24. Link Utah, fuck yeah!
  25. I have rapped off an abalakov made with a 14cm stubby. It worked fine. We tested an Abalakov by chipping away at the central ice with an ice tool. It held repeated two-person bounces down to about 5cm thick, then suddenly fractured. It's been "new" since the early 90s in North America. The Russians invented it much earlier. ' I rarely rap off a double Abalakov unless I'm using a new one to back up an old one. Just leave a screw in for back-up till the last and lightest person comes down. The vertical offset can be a good idea but sometimes with thin ice you have to use whatever works. The big problem I find is that the longer the screw you use the harder it is to get the two holes to line up. If you only have a little bit of ice, or a bulge, you don't want to be drilling too many holes or else you will be rapping off Swiss cheese. If you can avoid it don't drill an Abalakov in the outside part of a bulge - the ones that would dinnerplate off if you hit them with a tool will plate for other reasons too. I find 6mm or 7mm cord, or the 9/16" webbing works the best. On popular routes add a quick link or rap ring to the webbing cause someone else will be using the same anchor most likely.
