    Missile Command...

    Hard to say, given the recent blip. You certainly don't know one way or the other, just like the rest of us, chowderhead. I'm still thinking they haven't bottomed out yet. I have mathematical models. It's a science, you know.

    That definition is vague enough to slap on just about anything. Political science, anyone? If you say so.

    Economic News

    Could be. Economics isn't a science and they have a poor record of successful prediction. The only reason economists publish predictions is to make weathermen feel good about themselves.
  7. Yup.
  8. And some folks hate to see their name misspelled in print for their efforts.
  9. A forum search on "Mountaineers" or "Mounties" will yield a few opinions on the subject.

  15. Jens got pwn'd by The Man.
  16. Grivel North America is out of business, but: To address this issue Grivel designed and manufactured an ice screw sharpening machine. In North America, Ouray Mountain Sports uses this machine to provide a sharpening service that effectively refurbishes older, trashed screws. OK, what happens when you order the sharpening service? You will be linked out to the Ouray Mountain Sports home page where you may find contact information. If you’d like to contact them by phone dial (970) 325-4284.
  17. Still have your green vest?
  18. I bought this year's ice screws for almost 40% off with free shipping. Pretty sweet deal.
  19. The knock on clipping biner to biner is that in some orientations, it's easy to twist one and get it to pop out of the other. Two locking biners clipped together is pretty bomber. Regarding the op: Back when we were all climbing on 1" webbing, girth hitching runners was no issue. As the bdel data indicates, however, as one or both slings become thinner, the joint becomes progressively weaker. Personally, I would do it in a pinch, but I wouldn't make a habit of it.
  20. Three bagless bivies on Stuart.

  22. Where's Rudy? His RSS feed must be down.

    I believe the law is that if you're behind the wheel of a running automobile on a public road, you're driving. And you had no license. Think about it from his point-of-view.
