Shut up Trask.

I have not read this entire thread, but I would be very interested in hearing MattP's take on this!

Much more interesting question!! Yes, the one I did last weekend. I already am plotting an eventual return. Don't know if I'm ready to recommend it yet though.

What are you trying to say here?

Meat Puppets - Up On The Sun Fill up the bucket with Whatever you got Make sure it's something That the bucket likes a lot

Taking a mtn bike up the Snow Creek side would be pretty cool

Spectacular TR Alpinfox!

I think he's sandbagging you Peter, trying to send you out after that elusive wild goose!

j_b?

Why tell us? You could either 1) send him a PM and threaten to cut off the sexual favors. 2) go to the display preferences and turn off the display of the other users photos.

five ? How many ways can you sling a blueberry bush?

Wow Lummox sure reeled 'em in with a single word troll! This hex thing is such a brainteaser !

Yeah, I'd like to see that fourth placement option, where the side that the sling runs through is in contact with the rock. How many "sizes" does a wired hexcentric have then?

Sunday, climbed these massive choss slabs of death! And Dru, they are nice pictures but you really do make reading these threads inconvenient . Maybe you could just leave them as attachments?

According to the respective proprietor websites, #11 hex is 6 grams lighter than a #4 Friend. Not that I'm saying a #11 hex or a #4 Friend belong on a Small alpine rack...

I'm thinking something that might do for a hand line or a pull line for rapping. Maybe just like 6 or 7mm perlon? Doubt it has to be that expensive super-strength shit. Could someone point me places where one might be able to purchase a spool of like 100-200 feet that won't charge you an arm and a leg like a climbing shop might?

I went to a doc and then PT for shoulder impingement. They gave me exercises to rebalance the muscles in there to reduce the tendons getting pinched between bones. I would think that which muscles need to be strengthened differ by person and the PT person can figure that out for you. However, there does seem to be a pretty good chance you have the same thing going on as me if it is because of climbing, ...so...I can relate what exercises seemed to help me. But if you got insurance, I'd suggest going to the PT since they are relatively cheap (well except at the UW they call them "MD" on the billing, probably to sock the insurance company more ) and you get a massage and shit . Anyway, here's an exercise chart I found on the web that might help my explanation. What seemed to help was external and internal rotations but using a theraband (stretchy thing), keeping your elbow propped away from your body with a pillow. Also I think maybe the shoulder flexion but without weight, basically try to work the back muscles pulling down between your shoulder blads. Good posture was also emphasized, and stretching the shoulder, especially the one where you put your arm behind your back and try to reach the fist as far upward as you can. That stretch seemed to be an important benchmark for my doc.

Jeeeezus!!! I really did end up ruining this thread. Sorry to take you guys out of the "zone". I actually sorta thought that the tampons joke was sorta funny, but not in the mean way it has been interpreted here. Though I do understand how it could be interpreted that way.... So here's how I see it. In this case I think the female stereotype being alluded to is that women seem to in general be more sensitive and caring to how others feel than do men. Tampon joke uses a specifically female trait to allude Scrambler is feminine (because he was being sensitive to Scotty's feelings). So, in a way, I think you could take Rob's joke as a self-deprecating dig on males, not females. Because he was ridiculing Scrambler for not having a negative male trait, he was implying that males are jerks. What do you think about that? I could be wrong though. Maybe Rob is a misogynistic shithead .

Yeah man! Criminently! ( ?) Nothing hateful has been posted on this thread since Cracked told me to SHUT UP (snicker ). I guess that little whining crying icon , could be considered a slam. But it is a lame one. C'MON FOLKS!!! I DID THINK THIS THREAD WAS A LAFF RIOT (notice emphasis on past tense). What happened? Did I burst your fucking bubbles? am i bumming y'all's trips? I feel like that time I made that "off colored" joke in the midst of a bunch of whiny fucks who just got up and left and gvae me dirty looks and shit. I come in here and make fun of you and you all jsut clam up. lame

THERE'S MILK COMING OUT MY NOSE RIGHT NOW!!!! BWA HA HA HA "BURRNNNNN" AHHH HA HA HA HA HAH HA HA HA HA HAH HA HA HA HA HAH I can hardly fucking catch my breath
