  4. Another hearty "Good Job!" to Pax and Dave. [FYI to the noobs: when ascending fixed ropes, you can tie a backup knot (an overhand or figure eight on a bight clipped to a locker on your belay loop) every 15-20 ft or so. If you start slipping down the rope, then the backup knot will catch you.]
  5. And check out his video on "Clean" climbing.

    That's a neat quote. During the first part of this century, a bunch of mathematicians and philosphers were struggling with concepts of math being inconsistent or incomplete, that there are things that math and science won't be able to do. I can only imagine how Russell felt when he discovered his simple paradox. That same line of thinking later led to some classic results in the theory of computation. QED.
  7. Bouldery starts.

  9. Hey, I've nailed Snow White!
  10. Pins can be absolutely as secure as bolts, but are designed to provide differing levels of security based on size and placement exactly like clean pro. And as I just posted, their reliability is far easier judged over time and can be checked with one blow of a hammer whereas you have to remove a bolt to have a remote clue whether it is bad or not regardless of what it looks like. I'll guess that most folks climb "hammerless" these days.

    The next time you go climbing, use two digits instead of ten. Let me know how hard it is. Communication is easily effected with two digits.
  12. Burning Devil's Club in a sacrificial fire will cause your testicles to shrink.
