    My impression from driving an automatic is that I get better gas mileage. Most stick shifts are driven by older guys with Freudian issues and the 'fuel economy' myth is just there for rationalization of their libidinous impulses.

    I'm crunching data on Saturday Hopefully in Squamish on sunday!
  6. "Rock climbing or similar activities". No sit starts! No rappelling!
  7. Can you draw a topo of your so called new route for me. I think it may have already been climbed.

    Tax driving in cities, like London does, and see how much better the transit system gets.

    Ever drive a CVT recycled? Or are you mostly basing your opinion on 70s cars

    Petroleum cannot be exclusively abiotic or exclusively biotic The part about the Earth's core not being iron is also interesting.

    Modern automatics have better fuel efficiency than stick shifts do.

    Biodiesel, coal to oil, and gas-to-liquid oil are competitive at around $60 a barrel and the price will only drop as the technology improves. Ethanol is even cheaper. What does this mean? Well, since we aren't currently peaking in coal or natural gas, and there's lots of surplus biomass out there (particularly cellulose), the long term price of "oil" is going to run around $50-60 a barrel whether that "oil" is actually oil, or not.
  14. If it was Layton the grade would be 10dR/X not 13c.

    We were over in Burien and we were headed to da Toof actually. But then it looked like it might rain, so we went to Denny's instead. Superalpine!

    Now that's just not true. I've driven through several times on my way to Issaquah.

    There are a shitload of unclimbed rad granite boulders in Renton!
  20. Well duh! My fingers are too big! You need to be a midget with girly fingers to send that.... just like the Great Roof.
  21. So Rudy, let me see if I get this straight, Since several people who have never redpointed it say it must be 13+/14- to redpoint it, the guy who HAS redpointed it and says it's 13, not 13+, must be wrong?
  22. if you don't know what the name and grade is, how can you possibly update your 8a.nu scoresheet? Leavenworth+Goldbar is weird for a guidebook anyhow. Sort of like a guidebook for Index + Vantage routes would be.
  23. Yeah, since what he did was legal, therefore his sponsors should punish him for not breaking the law.
  24. Maybe the Park Service will cement a giant "Climbing This Arch Is Forbidden" sign on the bottom of the Arch, and reduce the difficulty of the sit-start significantly.
  25. What else is new?
