  1. This is not a good idea. Tibloc Tech Info 1. Proper usage of a tibloc requires a biner with a barstock diameter of 10 to 12 mm. The biner pushes the rope into the teeth, so it has to be of the right size and shape to do so. 2. Proper usage of a tibloc requires that the teeth be set into the rope sheath before weighting. Typically this is done with the thumb. Not doing this risks ripping the sheath (and my experience supports this). 3. Falling on a toothed ascender is never a good idea. Fall far enough and the device will chop the rope. People use mini traxions for solo toproping, but the system is rigged so that there is little slack. You can do what you want, but I wouldn't recommend this system to others.
  2. Your mom doesn't.
  3. The Mountaineers Library in Seattle probably has what you are looking for. Give them a call.
  4. No, just post your credit card # here.
  5. Redux
  6. Rule 11 is kinda dumb, too. The better microlights such as the Petzl e+lite or Princeton Tec Scout use lithium coin cells which aren't terribly effected by cold weather. I'd be skeptical of advice given by someone using alkaline batteries for ice climbing or other cold weather adventures. There are more intelligent options.
  7. If Obama would stop wasting money in Afghanistan and Iraq, we wouldn't have a health care crisis. I'm just sayin'.
  8. More angst from the fake.
  9. Why did you choose the avatar name j_b? Simply to mock someone else?

  11. Get a job.
  12. And we know how well 'secret' technology has secured our border with Mexico. and Canada.
  13. Methheads feel the same way about your car.
  14. cc.com is a tool of the government.
  15. That's great news. Now you can go online and check real time road conditions at www.USFS.gov
  16. How much more drift will you accept in a reliable beacon?
  17. Sounds like the old beacons are unreliable.
  18. There isn't a 'best' digital camera for climbing. It's all a matter of preferences and trade offs.
  19. Practice rapping with the pigs.

  23. Actually the top of p5 more likely. Crossing the Seagull separates the men from the sprayers.
  24. Don't let the hatters get you down. Just make sure to bring plenty of water.
