Bug

No two biners on my rack are alike.

Just post a time that does work for you. Nobody has said they could come on the weekend I posted. I will definately be up for a fall kids ropeup.

I got em. Thanks Goslo. Rosi tele's 190's going cheap.

Well, That is my only free weekend. Some one else might want to propose a differnt time and place. We will be at the climbers bivy tho if anyone shows up.

Take skiis and leave them at the top of the snowfield at the base of the ridge. I happen to have a pair of tele skiis (190), bindings, and Merrel tele comps (size 11). for sale. $50 for the whole set. I'll throw in a pair of skins for $20.

Bug I totally agree with you on the hemp thing man. On a side note, I grew up in a house built by Jim Whitaker that had bamboo growing indoors in the stairwell. Didn't seem to spread into the livingroom or anything. Maybe just build some walls around it an call it good. Hemp contributes to greenhouse gasses. Keep it in your lungs.

I may never meet the famous Muffy. Does she really exist? Or is it Greg_W's alter ego?............

In true Celtic tradition, men commonly exposed all. A kilt is just a holdover from the days of blankets wrapped around them. In other words, if you buy one of these new kilts for yourself you are pushing the envelope toward the 'wild side'. Trust me, no one will hold the ladder for you, much less belay.

Icicle canyon climber's bivy above Bridge creek June 5&6. Someone has to get there Friday night and rope off a large section. I prefer the upper right with the small boulders and opening down the hill.

IA M SO THERE If Muffy's gonna cage dance then I'm there too! How about a wet T shirt contest. Guys and girls so we don't appear sexist. Of course there isn't anything less attractive than a male cc.comer getting the puke hosed off his chest. Try to chew your food this year guys.

stfu. i dont even believe your statement. what about algae or phytoplankton or kudzu or rosie odonnel? I read it ina book, not on the internet. It had big pictures and everything. Actually, the book was called 'Bamboo' written by David Farrelly. I met him in Mexico between Tequila binges. I like the quote and I am stiking with it. Plankton is not oxygen producing and Rosie O'donnel is a corporation. What the hell is kudzu? Camel yogurt?

I would settle for a super model in Victorias secret apparell at the base of the climb explaining the pros and cons of color coordination.

K_Y_L_E you are posting too much. You will be accused of not having a job and not climbing.

Depends on where you picked her up.

Great, now we need a new thread to see how everyone packs their nuts. (Deep voice) "Pack the rack?" (High voice) "Yes. Pack the nuts?" (High voice2) "Yes." (High voice) "Re-pack!"

Build him a little bed over the stalks.

My wife likes it when I bring wine. Now I never hike without it. No more 'solo'.

Bamboo is the only living thing that can outstrip the human race growth rate pound for pound. It can be used for building, clothing, sound barriers, screening, producing oxygen, and burns well. Old ice axes had laminated bamboo shafts. The day will come when we will turn to bamboo to save the planet from the effects of deforrestation. Plant some in your yard today. Then kiss your yard goodbye. Unless you have a panda bear. The ryzomes go down 18 inches in some varieties. If you put in a hard plastic barrier that deep, it is easy to control.

It is a long hill. Nothing technical. But if she has a tendency to whine and is only going because you want her to, tell her it is a gradeVI with a huge storm approaching.

Call me an aid climber then. I use tape. I know a couple old farts (40+) with bone spurs in their hands from climbing without. These things are worth considering. Unless you plan on dying young.

I too have seen pictures of sheaths shredded by a Gibs ascender in a fall but as I remember, the rope was iced. Gotta be scared of those teeth though.

Anyone who wants the job should be aitomatically disqualified. They are all slimy. What gets me is how the right calls Democrats "Tax and spend" because of the social programs but they are willing to pay higher gas prices to filthy rich stock holders with no hope of ever seeing anything in return. Meanwhile the bill adds up in the form of deficits. OK. We aren't being taxed. So how is that deficit going to go away? Oh I know. The oil companies are going to volunteer to pay it down. Or maybe Haliburton? If we vote in shrub again, we will be the moral sediment in the cesspool of the UN. Unfortunately, the only advantage to voting for Kerry is that the congress will still be Republican and we will start to see a "balance of power" as per design. Perhaps he won't be any better than Shrub but he can't possibly be any worse and he will have less power.

That's what newbies are for.

Never mind. I got the MLT4's for $234. Back to flaming.............

Yes. Definately put your ice ax and crampons on the outside.
