  3. Hey, it's *ExtremoBigWallDude*. LOL
  4. No you don't. You need to ask how to use the search function. Down vs. synthetic
  5. In one sense, the group is a victim of its own success, Rozell said. It is widely credited with helping Republicans seize control of Congress in 1994 and the White House in 2000, but with those goals achieved, it has lost much of its reason for being. So you're happy about Republican control of the Federal Government?
  6. Yabba, dabba, do!
  7. I'd say the opposite, that you need a longer rope for only two folks. It's gonna take a bunch of free rope for a single person to set up any complex hauling system (and only a z-pulley isn't gonna cut it).
  8. cc.com => It's all Bush's Fault!
  9. Machiavellianism is aid.
  10. The correct answer is 8.8mm x 50m preferably Sterling Marathon in red which I happen to have for sale $60.
  11. Bad Physics?
  12. Huh? m (dot) is mass flow rate. For a thermos, don't you have a fixed mass of fluid you are trying to keep warm? Therefore, m (dot) is zero.
  13. FYI: Most Petzl gear (ascenders, etc) is rated down to 8 mm ropes. Many twin ropes are smaller. Is this a problem for you?

    Detachable penis ... .
  17. Toes are aid.
  18. Finally nailed the blue route at Vertical World. 13.5 hrs car-to-car. I'm moving up a grade and working the red route with black stars, but the wall's pert near vertical. Does anyone have a portaledge I can borrow?
  19. Eh?
  20. Yup. I bought one set off ebay, and the other 2 at a time at Marmot in Bellevue. Not cheap, either. For flaring cracks and pin scars, there's nothing better.

    Education and intelligence are well correlated, but not perfectly correlated. Happy now?
