  1. Hunter-gatherers have greater amounts of leisure time than any other human society. They kill 50% of their kids to ensure it stays that way.
  2. This Belgian dude is on the 5.10 team http://siebevanhee.blogspot.com/ good quotes
  3. Climb Skywalker instead.
  4. Was that when master lived in the house and mom lived in the slave quarters?
  5. Nope, wrong. Genes associated with diet have been among the fastest-evolving amongst humans and are still being actively selected for today. For instance, genes for lactose tolerance have independently evolved 3 times in the last 10,000 years amongst three separate pastoralist populations. Likewise, in the Inuit, biological adaptations to the high fat content of a traditional diet that was mostly or all animals are found, and these adaptations developed within the last 3,000- 4,000 years. Whether the evolution in this case is within the human genome itself or within commensal gut microbes is irrelevant What does that mean? It means the assumptions of the paleo diet, humans haven't evolved in 100,000 years crowd are entirely wrong.

    Is Hep C the one you get from blood transfusions or the one you get from eating poo?
  7. Kangaroos eat the same grass that cows do but produce no methane.
  8. This thing is awesome. Got caught in a snowstorm last year and was blown away by how well it held up. And it's got stretch in the fabric, which I don't think the ArcT or the Patagonia has. The Arcteryx one is really stretchy. It's like the RD but fits better.
  9. Peter loves teh Koch, teehee.
  10. Anything is solid enough to hurt you if you compress it enough.
  11. Yes, you are wrong. The "empty space" in a helmet is there to compress when the helmet is hit so that the velocity of the falling object is not transferred to the skull. Filling the empty space means greater head trauma to you.
  12. There are differences between sugars, and if you don't understand them, your diet advice is irrelevant.
  13. Arcteryx Squamish Hoody second from the factory store, $59
  14. There will still be a lot of snow this year.
  15. The Flingus Cling at PetWall
  16. in addition to nsfw, eyebleach warning may be necessary btw
  17. nsfw hippiegoddess.com
  18. wrong forum, doubleposter
  19. Still some big ugly cornices and May-like snow as of last week But the North Couloir is melted out.
  20. Try googling "Nason Ridge" instead of "Nason Creek"

    Minxie Thanks for coming out of the closet with your previously hidden Mountie genes. Now that you know you carry this taint, you can be extra double cautious in future, and if you find yourself slab bouldering while wearing gaiters, or fixing ropes on da Toof, you'll know why you are doing it and what to do about it.
  22. Turns out it was only $175 http://groups.google.com/group/rec.climbing/browse_thread/thread/858dd32222dbbc3e/8e8ba43bfbbff90d?hl=en&q=rec.climbing+%22electronic+carabiner%22&lnk=ol&
  23. Before the Ergo people were trying all sorts of things in the ice comps. I remember Simond athletes c. 1998 or 1999 had this axe with a tight V-shaped grip with the idea you could get fingerlocks in the angle of the V and hang on the fingerlocks. Basically they bolted on another bar that stuck up in front of the grip. I don't think it ever went into general production.
  24. Is it still "leave no trace" if you leave a hole where the bones were? FYI, the places where I work were robbed by their own people over 3,000 years ago,
