At least you now have some what of an excuse for rarely going climbing. I was climbing quite a bit, I just don't inform you of all my trips. I won't be home to recieve your postcard cause I'll be in Red Rocks. Jon, yup. I saw you last week clickity clackin' down the hall in your cyclin' shoes. I would have said hello, but I couldn't catch you - I think your spandex gave you the edge. Plus, I am in awe of "The Man". Sped, you should see the sheep they have in the Animal Research dept. here. OH LA LA!!!

This is the second week in a row with good weather during the week and a pissy weather forecast for the weekend. This working thing sucks. GODDAMNIT!!! Thank you for allow annoyed fox to vent.

Dear Sasquatch, Go to a store and find out. At least, that is what brian boitano would do (WWBBD?).

You could spraypaint it yellow.

Shouldn't this be in the "Name this WHEEZER" thread?

If you trust your partners, I say go for it.

Yes, but this adds to the hardman image. "Oh, he's an INTERNATIONAL climber!!!" As for me, I like to strap an UltraLuxury Series LE Thermarest (with thermapocket pillow) onto the outside of my pack for those alpine bivies. It's like a magpies tail.... "Damn, if he can climb an extreme route like Das Toof with that much extra weight, he must be EXTRA HARD!!!" Yeah.

You didn't get it right anyway since you didn't phrase it as a "?".

Mr. Peru, Is L-town this year's WA Pass? Is it where the cool cats are at? And what's this partnerless crap? Wherz yer seal cove hon? -Nosey Fox

Hello, I seek billionaire person with her to stand on rocks in the exotic place. Please to send proof of billion to me yesterday. My toes are strong. Thanks for you to allow unwealthy fox to post.

My english teacher was quite sane. Get a red pen and I think you'll be just fine. Better yet, buy a whole package...splurge a little. Any tips for getting red sharpie marks off of a computer screen?

Mr E has to do SOMETHING with the vegetation he cleans out of all those cracks he bolts! Nice way to recycle those gnarly little trees. Mr.E and I put up a route called "Bonzai". It features three miniature trees growing out of cracks on or near the route.

I can't work - the grammar/spelling alarms going off in my head due to reading this thread are distracting me.

Dru I agree with you but for ethical rather than practical reasons. It's more humane to euthenize someone/something with drugs rather than starving them to death. However, you make a good point. I wonder if her organs are usable after 5 years of being bedridden and fed through a tube? KK, I don't know, but I suspect that T.S.'s level of self-awareness is below that of a retarded person's. Is she responsive to painful stimuli? Is it really true that she "tracked a balloon with her gaze" and has responded to verbal stimuli or is that just wishful thinking on the part of her parents/lawyer? The mental test I apply to these sorts of cases is, if I was in T.S.'s place, what would I want? The answer is that I would want to be euthenized.

Yup. There was a good article about him in Alpinist 8.

The air pressure keeps the down from being compressed. It's basically just like a thermarest with the foam replaced with down. BTW, I've never seen the thing in person, I'm just looking at it online. Your other criticisms (weight + price) may be valid, though consider that a ridgerest weighs 14oz and most people take two of those to AK or a ridgerest plus a thermarest (even heavier). Here is a THOUROUGH REVIEW of the item in question. Manufacturer's website

OK Rudy, You wanna go climb at Index/X32 RIGHT NOW!?!? If you can drive, I can belay and flail. Let's go! It might rain/snow on us, but we'll be OUTSIDE!

If Dru didn't waste so much time on this board, he might hear about important news stories LIKE THIS

What is the difference between "high speed" compact flash and regular compact flash memory? Does it make any difference? I've seen 40x, 60x, and 80x cards advertised. What should I get?

Are you feeling WATERPROOF?
