My wife wants to learn to climb this year and I've thought about buying those for her tender little hands; I'd have her try tape first before I'd make the investment. I saw a guy coming off Givler's Crack with those - I kind of chuckled because that is such a gentle crack, but he was old.

Do you wear hotpants in that fire tower, sweetie?

Thanks Trask, I'm on it. Do you think I'm too abrasive to work the counter at Starbuck's? hehehe. "Whipped cream? Honey, lose the big ass and we'll talk about whipped cream. Non-fat latte for you."

Sounds common-sensical: place more pro if you're worried about a fall; which is why you place pro anyway. I place pro like this on a single (usually); if the going is easy, might as well run it out.

Explain your rationale please, Matt. I'd like to go to doubles and I'd like as much info as possible.

Last I heard, you were chained to your dog house and growing like a weed. How'd you escape long enough to send that gem? Oh, and are claws aid?

Do a search of me laughing my ass off and I'm sure you'll find it. Frankly, I don't remember.

I can't get in anymore, must have overloaded it. hehehe

I'm starting it. Go spray on SummitPost.com!!! Fuck 'em all but six, and save them for pallbearers!!!!!

Oh, yeah. Summitpost.com is SUCH a great resource. Their message board is like a funeral home. I posted a response about 15 minutes ago and that was the last thing posted. What does cc.com get? 3-5 per minute?

Summitpost.com can eat my balls, those asseyes.

I've never been impressed with wines from California. Go South American. Good cabernets from Chile that have more body, in my opinion. Not much of a white wine drinker, but the Riesling from Columbia Winery is nice (Chateau St. Michelle's is nice, too) as well as the Chardonnay from Columbia Crest (good for warm weather).

Wouldn't you say that he is trying to simplify the tax code/structure? How is this different that eliminating capital gains taxes?

I think Beckey mentions the 1949 N. Face route as a potential descent. What are your (or anyone's) thoughts on that as a potential descent?

DFA - that is no justification for a multiple taxation scheme.

I know, freeclimb, so why not start eradicating some of it? Sounds like a good plan.

How many times do you want to be taxed? Corporations have already paid taxes on those dividends.

Only if he's lighting them. Caveman is responsible enough to only try and light his farts over an existing firepit.

Don't need a permit for that.

What's your point? Don't you know that Washington and Oregon have high unemployment rates?

How can you tell when a blonde has been using your computer? There's whiteout on the screen.

Actually, it has been scientifically proven that the only thing bleached blondes give is good head.

Bwahahahahahaha!!!!!!

No. But because you have one backup behind the other backup, it actually ends up in front....

Not true, Jim. It is redundant, in that the second rope acts as a backup for the first. Say you're climbing on a double-rope setup and are 60' or 75' up with ropes clipped alternately to 5 or six pieces or pro. Due to rockfall from above, a baseball sized rock hits one of your ropes and chops through to the core. Your other rope is intact and you can finish the pitch knowing that you have one solid rope left. If you were in this same situation with a single it would be really bad, with a redundant, double rope system you can escape in relative safety.
