You aren't wholesome enough to hang out with these kids.

This gets my vote for cutest, cuddliest trip report ever.

OMG! I never suspected! I'm so disillusioned.

10 points if you can link to the thread that caused me to make that review. I WIN I WIN ! ! !

Why does this judge hate America so much?

That "maculated" person is SOOO COOOOL! I mean, they get Nalgene bottles FOR FREE! I can't imagine how cool it would be to be so cool that I would get plastic bottles for free. That would be pretty cool. OK Maculated! I'm goin out to buy 100 of them RIGHT NOW!

Has anyone ever called you a clam farmer?

Check out Olympia Climber's review of the Nalgene Bottle here:

Did she expose herself right back? That usually cures it.

Apparently it is in Spokane now. This is weird because I searched the area around the fault pretty well I thought. I think that rattlesnake moved it.

LINK No shit?

Are you serious? I'll trade you a two-headed chinese baby and a six pack o' brew for it. Shit. Are you in Spokane? Where is "Mr. Clean" in relation to "The Fault"?

Muir on Saturday thread is still the longest. Interestingly, it has more replies than views. Nodder is a close second in terms of replies but has WAY more views. Lots of lurker reader nodders out there. SURE ARE NODDER! This thread is second all time in terms of views. Only 6000 more "refresh" clicks to go Oilyclimber!

For DEB SEWS, it is a very easy approach if you park at the hairpin and go straight up to the base. Thanks for the pictures!

OH! I've got a good "crazy old skool scientist" story. A guy in my department (who happens to be somewhat famous in the climbing/mountaineering community as well) was once tasked with synthesizing and purifying some metabolites to a particular drug. Rather than synthesize the stuff conventionally using organic chemistry techniques, he decided to just take the drug personally, let his liver and kidneys make the metabolites, collect his own urine, and isolate the metabolites out of it. Worked like a charm supposedly and with fringe benefits!

We actually had ours rigged so we could just rap down to the ground after the jump, but I guess that won't work in your case unless you wanna get wet.

You could toss a haul bag full or rocks (~160lbs or whatever you weigh) first as a test, but then you have to get it back up. PITA. When my bridge jumping anchor failed it was after a dozen jumps or so and was due to the webbing rubbing back and forth across the concrete beams that we had slung. Fortunately we had two anchors. Make sure your anchors don't rub on things and there are no sharp edges. A dynamic climbing rope will hold a big swinging fall like that just fine with relatively low loads. I never felt the need for a chest harness. I wish I could do this with you guys.

I've seen that video, and I think someone DID die (or was paralyzed). The dumbshit who came up with the idea did something like, "well, this cable is rated to 5000lbs, and all of us together only weigh 1500lbs, so we'll be fine". Of course much higher forces are generated in a fall than the weight of the mass falling, so the cable broke.

Also, I just saved a ton of money on my car insurance!

Unto this world, a child is born. Congratulations Ken and M____!!
