Practice rapping with the pigs.

I'm thinking about selling mine for $450. PM me if interested.

Finn-ished! 6-1 Will Canada beat Finland as badly in their next round?

Currently 6-0

Actually the top of p5 more likely. Crossing the Seagull separates the men from the sprayers.

Don't let the hatters get you down. Just make sure to bring plenty of water.

That's not a 'dude'.

I'm laughing at your team too. GO CANADA! 5-3

People are afraid of others just like themselves.

Layton would have rated it Class VI.

On the contrary I see $200 value when I apply for Denali permit, Thanks only to all the "bright" individuals from a few years ago. In the 30 years of climbing a vast majority of accidents are caused by ignorance, lack of experience, and lack of judgment, rather then simply "bad luck". Unfortunately the rest of us has to suffer the consequences of such actions in the forms of fees and regulatory steps. This is an excellent example of the problem. The key part of first poster's statement was "based on partial information from notoriously incomplete sources." The second poster was seething in self-righteous vitriol before finishing the sentence.

Oh, the irony.

Zzzzzz.

Guess I'm going to stick with being a WI4 climber then.

Shoulder stands are aid.

Why bolt it at all? Just drop your pad at the bottom and treat it as a highball boulder problem.

I don't think it has yet. The sportos traverse in from higher up. I pounded a couple knifeblades in the seam when I did that pitch.

You must be new.

Bullshit. The Petzl rep is an idiot and should be publicly ridiculed. For stainless steel, the endurance limit is something like 50% of the tensile strength. And the endurance limit (fatigue strength) is the cyclical loading for which the material can survive 10 million cycles. Even Raindawg hasn't clipped 10 million bolts in his lifetime. I seriously doubt normal loading of the wire when opening the gate on any biner is anywhere near 50% of the tensile strength. And a shorter live span than what? Every carabiner uses some sort of metallic spring to close the gate. What is Petzl using for a spring? Something steel, I guess, which one could make the same arguments. If this is Petzl's engineering expertise then they and their products should be avoided at all costs.

I think I paid $40 for my commuter, an old pre-shock MTB. Added $6 slick tires from performance. The headlamp cost twice what I paid for the bike.

Not to worry, hezaMtguide--I don't think they'll be enforcing this on Mount Si. The haystack is above treeline, so you better be packing your PLB!

Royal Columns on the Tieton is pretty fun. Can you walk around up to the top of The Bend?

The Upper Town Wall at Index is a fun toprope. The last time I was there, someone had left their rope up on Green Drag-On.
