calling sport-climbing routes bolt-ladders is an obvious hyperbole intended to exaggerate the lack of courage or confidence of the person leading the thing. Play it like you call it. It isn't... I have aided up sport climbs at ex. 38 just using the bolts. THAT is a bolt ladder and is not hyperbole, but honest to God fact. I never said all of them are. Did you not read where I said that I enjoy many bolted routes?

Calling people who have differnt views as you weak and generalizing that they are weak climbers is a pretty crappy method to get your point accross... If you can't debate this on teh merits of bolting, then mabe you should take it to spray in another thread.

Huh? In contrast to having daddy's friends getting you into the guard and then begging out of that commitment? Bushie lost it big time last night. Yes... but one campaigned with his military service as a major point and the other didn't make a big deal out of it. If you are gonna base so mcuh of you campaign around your service in Vietnam... it better be squeaky. I talked to a guy who almost got his hand taken off and still has severe nerve damage that didn't even get a purple heart. Go figure.

right on!

I am with the Polish guy on this one. Yer talking out of your ass.

and the slippery nature of it... try it before you are on a glacier i would say... every possible rope combination you might use. Some work and some don't

I think Kerry is on the wrong track with the attack attack attack. People will begin to think the only thing he knows how to attack is bush. Bush is on the right track with the W for women thing... but wayyyyy too little... wayyyy toooo late.

I honestly think that a lot of people are not swayed by attacking Bush. The people who are, are already Kerry supporters. Why target them?

Eyes for eyes?

...and the freedom to borrow Mitch's luvbar is my freedom as well. God bless AMERICA!!!

Nader is looking better and better.

I am wondering if mabe you guys are all looking for your candidate to win and end up seeing it cast more favorably for him. It seems like both sides think it is a rout.

I'd be damned proud of that article...

he did... they are mostly quotes...

Let me just quickly say, at the current pace, the president will not secure the loose material in the Soviet Union ack! ahem! ...former Soviet Union for 13 years.

Y'alls 18 right?

And that's how best it is to keep the peace.

Bitch say whaaaaat?

I just read the whole thing and it looked pretty even to me. If you ignore petty grammar mistakes, Bush did well. Kerry also did well showing he is a man of action and not the flacid man that Bush says he is. I don't look at the speaking abilities as a reason to vote for people personally.

you can jsut make it shorter/doubled over with an overhand figure 8

i don't have a t.v. anyone wanna give me the low down?

Cracked's Last Paper

Wel it is really easy to tie in a looped configuration. I am assuming you know how to do this... To use them, usually you need two. 1) attached to you harness (a short one) 2) on ewith foot loops (long one). You baisically attach both to the rope and weight one and slide the other one up the rope. Then weight the other one and slide the unweighted one up.... ince by inch. make sense? is that what you wanted to know?
