There was a warm spell on Friday. Most of the ice fell down: The rock was snowy and cold on Saturday. It was puking higher up so we didn't get to check out Enterprise Creek or Boulder Creek which was the original plan... I would give it a few more weeks before heading up there again.

Michael Moore is the other 99% all by himself.

That route finding looks tough. I have no idea how you can pick a line through all that blank rock

Have you tried the fist/hand stack instead of the hand butterfly? Where you make the fist and shim it with your other hand?

Cilo 40L worksack, Osprey Variant 37, or Arcteryx Khazri 35 (bought on closeout).

He can't cross the border cause of potheadedness and shit.

Does reading wikipedia count as learning now?

OCCUPY DRAGON'S DEN! That'll show them damn capitalists.

Why not make the environment a legal person and let her sue for assault.

The next buzzword is "Vacate". Don't like capitalism? Remove your money and participate in the alternative economy.

True ninjas can't be Googled

It'd be even fucking cooler if it hit Portland. The big pile of impact breccia would instantly be THE BEST CLIMBING AREA IN OREGON and the survivors would flock to bolt the chossy boulders

Sounds like Cain has a future as RCMP top brass

Kevbone is a baby. "Go to sleep now." "WHY?????????" Kevbone, GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP

Wait, what?

OH MY GOD HOW DID THIS GET HERE I AM NOT GOOD AT COMPUTER

jenkem looks damn-right appealing next to krokodil Jenkem was a hoax. Successful hoaxes are repeated.

Speaking of incarceration, maybe USA should start harvesting organs from its political prisoners the way China does? Except that in USA they'd harvest from the jailed potheads instead. Or shooting people at the borders... trying to escape. Oh, wait... Right. In USA they shoot people (Mexicans) trying to get IN.

America's cheap-corn policy seems to have increased the number of chins in the populace too.

UMMM the one child policy WAS family planning services. Just with an involuntary component. Look at the gender imbalance. 95 MILLION more boys than girls in that age cohort. Real egalitarian, there.

for just about any device but the Troll Rocker and some of the Wren/Rock Exotica devices developed for lead climbing, I recall testing showed a 5kn fall will pinch the rope enough to damage or sever it. In other words any lead fall or a TR fall with slack in the system (such as if you attach to the device with a leash rather than directly to the harness)

I don't back it up but I do tie knots in the rope below the device when warranted, and usually weight the bottom of the rope as well for a smooth feed. Also I have it attached to my belay loop with a 3/8" steel maillon rather than a carabiner. I found the shape of the maillon prevents cross-loading. When I tried it with a locking HMS biner the biner would shift around so as to be crossloaded or cross-gate loaded almost every time.

They look like you could kludge together something similar pretty easily. Cut some grips out of a 2x4 and attach some industrial fanbelts: bingo.
