Your chances of surviving a crash are much higher at 20 mph than at 70 mph. Why do people drive at the speed limit instead of at 20 mph on major highways?

Needs more Photoshop or less clothing

Hey, I love dolphins. And unicorns.

I still think they should send Worlds Fastest Climber DH and his wonder dog up there to rescue the missing hikers.

In the CDN Rockies people have been heli-longlined off the East Face of Howse... the Cascades don't have anyplace where this wouldn't work

The board is a lot like the real world in that way. Plenty of great people, and plenty of dicks too. It's nice to sort out who you wouldn't mind doing an extended backcountry trip with online before you are stuck in a snow cave with a Donghead who yammers crap 24/7. Welcome to the board. If only the missing climbers had learned to tilt their photos 90 degrees like billchoad... they would have been able to slide down right off the mountain, right

That was my first guess when I read his "sales" speil in his first post... spam...

It doesn't matter how long you live. What matters is how you live your life. You are going to die sooner or later Phil, just like all the "selfish, reckless" climbers you disparage. And based on your remarks here, Phil, I don't think many people will be upset when you die.

How many times do you think Annabelle climbed Hood before she was ready for Everest?

If Paul Pritchard is back climbing again, you will be too. Any climbing doctor would tell you the same

Hey, these guys are more experienced than the SAR teams looking for them. Why are we even worried?

The MLU and lifejackets

Well, except breast implants I suppose.

Look at all the dangerous risk takers! No flotation devices visible!

And if you had some eggs, you could have some ham and eggs, if you had some ham.

"Race ya to the deep end! Safely!"

That's not wearing a lifejacket while swimming. It's wearing a lifejacket while BOATING. Try diving or doing anything but floating while wearing a lifejacket, silly. Do you wear waterwings and an inner tube too? You can drown in a bathtub. Do you wear a lifejacket into the shower, just in case? Maybe some SCUBA gear too?
