...and if you think that is reckless, tell me where roping up will save your life if you fall. In the chimneys, you are gonna hit so much shit you will wish that you were dead if you fall in there. I would think that the added time you spend hauling/placing/cleaning gear would be more dangerous then protecting that jazz.

ditto... I brought a 30 meter 7.8mm on fischer and didn't even bring it outta the pack.

depends on your interpretation of the bible. Theoretically, you only have to read the teachings of Jesus which are described in what? 5 books of 60? To some, the old testament could be disregarded entirely.

how about you cowboy up and ask as opposed to blasting her on the internet for something she may or may not have done?

gewd cawl deve. I theenk yew ar awn teh rite trak tehre man!

Do you know if she has or not? Who are you to assume she hasn't. I don't see why you guys are getting your panties in a twist. Calm down and relax.

Got that right babes!

Oooooh! What are ya gonna do about it speed demon? Run me down? You were lucky you didn't get a reckless driving ticket and/or arrested. Sack up and shut the fuck up. I wouldn't run anyone down....and tell me something I don't already know. You sound like a broken record. If you're going to post, read the thread and stop repeating what everyone else has already stated and what I have already admitted at the beginning. Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket Harpell? Ran a stop sign? A DUI? Been in a fender bender whether its your fault or not? If you're going to point fingers, prove you're better than me or STFU. Why bother? You must be bored. I have never gotten a ticket. Ever. One warning for a seatbelt violation, but that was it.

oooops... i thought i was on ascentionists.com... please don't ban me!

Are we sure this isn't Greg_W with a new alias? Check the reg date asshole... I signed up before he did.

Baisically I don't find that the majority of routes I do are right at my limit for the duration of the climb. I like simulclimbing with a partner I have confidence in... often times, we will go until the rope goes tight and hen simul unless we communicate otherwise. I couldn't do this with a 70 I don't think as the weight would be starting to become a factor. One route that I recall this being the case was the squamish butress... we simuled 90% of that route and I can bet you that we climbed it faster with a 50 than we could have with a 70.

w00t!

I use this at work as well. Hell with Helly Hansen, that shit is no better than the $30 pairs you can get at Kmart. Grundens is worth the extra $$$

I like 50's. I like a 60 meter rope for cragging, but I think the difference between time saved by linking pitches vs. weight carried is pretty much negated. I usually link pitches by simulclimbing anyways and rope drang usually makes me stop before the tug at the end of the rope.

The expansion range on the new ones are prety huge... notice they cut out the (.5) range?

I am not gonna buy the line of site shit either rudy... what if someone tries to pass someone in the other lane. DOn't try and tell me during the trip you didn't see other cars.

Yes in fact. There are no animals in Europe anymore. There is nowhere in that section of the highway that you are not at risk having a deer run accross the highway. Your theoretical assertations are just that... theoretical. In the real world a deer could have jumped out and they could all be dead or worse yet, she could have swerved and killed someone else.

cluck...stfu...55 on deserted desert highway in good weather conditions is completely, totally STUPID!!! ...so is 94 no...not really...not if its sunny, no traffic, clear line of sight, no animals/livestock...unless of course you are an idiot w/ a cell phone in your ear... Dude... shit happens and at 90 miles an hour the average driver cant swerve out of the way of a deer... there is just no way. I hit a deer and I was only going 45 miles an hour. It is just plain stupid. Kinda shit I did when I was 16 really...

98? damn what's the dammage on that one?

Darn November Criminals.

Nice man!

The only thing that is worse is the really crappy trance stuff. I can climb to aphex twin and hard d'n'b'. Souther rock gets me going soemtimes when i am in the right mood.

What are you listening to while getting pumped to climb? I just got Interpol's new one and it is doig the trick.
