  1. Is there anything about the Mountaineers here?
  2. Well, duh. If I was wanking off all day I'd enjoy my job too.
  3. The Klimbers4Kerry want to take over North America. What do you Canadian folks think of that, eh?
  4. You're coming out of the closet? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Bad Photo Contest

    I want to be special!
  6. Make sure to limit the crowd. Many people on this site have complained about groups taking over Icicle Creek with their ropes *everywhere*.

    I thought we were all Dru. Did I miss the memo?
  8. I smell a conspiracy! DRU call the mounties! The Mounties always gets their man.

    Out of the Closet

    That Don Serl character is pretty sketchy.
  10. Oh gosh. This is the same guy whos rants I read on rec.bicycling 15 years ago. His thesis is to exclude *EVERYONE* from the wilderness, except for *HIM*, of course. He just wants everyone else out of his way.
  11. This is a crowd of rock climbers, people who can focus on a pile of rocks for weeks.
  12. A mob of them were out at Index Saturday. They remind me of the religious zealots in the South.
  13. and #18 here, behind Raleigh, NC. http://www.forbes.com/2004/06/23/04singleland.html
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Thermofit liners will make anybody's foot fit in plastic liners. Plus their warmer. Plus their lighter.
  17. Surprised you'd be offended. The neighborhood's not all bad.
  18. I will not respond to this thread.
  19. 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.
