  7. Note re: road: A friend apparently just snapped the axle on his brand new Ranger 4X4 trying to negotiate one of the bigger ditches. But, apparently somebody got in to do another new route on the south face. Musta had a big valley truck 4 x 70m pitches to 5.11

  9. It was dramatic because I was there

  11. I hear there's some really nice granite out in the Nevada desert
  12. Looks as if a parasailer or basejumper (d-Dog?) jumped off the Chief and was then blown back into the face, getting hung up in trees at the very right edge of the forest below the Squamish Buttress. Helicopters were flying in, but it didn't look as if a longline was done. Chute (and guy, I guess) was still hanging from tree as the sun went down and we left Squamish at 9:45. Cops and ambulances everywhere. Hope the dude is okay

  14. wouldn't the natural resting place for the belayer's hand be below the device, ie, not locked off when belaying with a device off the anchor? All cool cats usin the Reverso now, auto-lock-off

  16. 3somes including clove-hitched bondage! AND daisy chains
  17. oh, daler's 4" has got you hot, now you wanna brag about your 3somes Strongbuns, oh yeah, like that heart attack
  18. But, but, but . . . If you ever climb as a party of three, having members on daisies or similar is essential to minimize cluster f'ups. I use both systems, sometimes AT THE SAME TIME If I'm feeling lazy I usually chain it

  20. Okay, a SLIGHT problem in that reporting. The banner states: "One-third of Germans under age 30 believe the U.S. government may have sponsored the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington," While, in fact, the real wording of the questions was: "Asked whether they believed the U.S. government could have ordered the September 11 attacks . . ." i.e. Would the US have been capable not is it possible that . Figure out your fuckin MODALS people

  22. Yes not always. Anchor sucks and the dynamics of a belay off the body will lessen force on anchor. Basically all falls I have ever caught have been arrested by my own weight. Just don't climb with tubbies, that's all! ***ACMG now advises all guides to clove hitch into the anchor as a daisy or chain is not meant to take a dynamic force. This is funny cause the person who told me this passed on advice from the ACMG two years ago stating that clove hitches were unreliable as primary anchors
  23. 2 against 1, you suck
