A mob of them were out at Index Saturday. They remind me of the religious zealots in the South.

I use the DMM Belay Master carabiner while solo-aiding with a Gri-gri. It certainly is a pain in the ass, because you have to screw it locked anytime you want to close the plastic piece. Also the plastic piece can be pried off. I've lost one already. But is *does* keep the biner from being cross loaded. A little additional peace of mind.

Continuing with the university analogy, once you get through the core courses, things get a little more interesting. The Mountaineers offer courses in Waterfall Ice, Aid and Big Wall, Self-Rescue, and Climbing Denali. These are smaller, less structured and more intense. The same people who wrote Mountaineering: Freedom of the Hills teach their classes.

Thermofit liners will make anybody's foot fit in plastic liners. Plus their warmer. Plus their lighter.

Surprised you'd be offended. The neighborhood's not all bad.

Yup.

I will not respond to this thread.

Unlike rolling around in a 3 ton SUV, cyclists need to pay attention to their 'driving', being acutely aware of the road and traffic around them. Surprising to most cyclists, it also helps to follow the rules of the road and act like another car, not like a self-involved moron.

I'm Pro-Fessional and I vote.

Shorts over polypro?

is actually more important than brushing.

Is there a summit register on the 8000m peak?

What kind of fruity crap is this? This isn't a cappuccino commercial. Slap that man with a horsecock.

Another vote for: Beckey places a register, it's cool. If the Mounties place a register, it's arrogant. What about the Mazamas and the Cascade Roavers?

I'd say at least a couple months, depending on how you treat the first marathon. If you race the first for time and they are too close together, there's no time for training. You're either recovering from the first or resting for the second. If you treat the first as just another long training run, then recovery will be quicker. I tried running two marathons in a month's time. I meant the first as a training run, but I had to catch a flight and Albuquerque is at 5000', so my slow pace was actually quite taxing. Five weeks later, my time was slower than the year before. Naturally, YMMV. I read about a guy who ran sub 2:20 marathons every month for a whole year.

So you take at face value the claims of everyone posting on the internet and in print ?

Sounds like your beef isn't against summit registers, but only against who placed them there. If Fred Beckey places a summit register, then it's cool. If the Mounties do it, then it is a crime against nature and your personal ethics. If Fred leaves a piton on route, it's cool. If the Mounties do it, it is another crime against nature and your ego. At least you're consistant.

Ramutas I need to go pick up my shoes tomorrow.

So you pulled all the fixed gear on Liberty Crack to leave no trace of climbers?

What's with the tuna?

I guess she likes clients with a sense of humor.

What do pirates wear while climbing offwidths? Carrrrrharrrrrts! (Ooops, wrong thread.)
