Dude, bring Beckey.

Duh what he said if you are going to climb Prusik. Ditto, do it this weekend and tell us about it at the Eastside Pub Club on 10/15 [ 10-09-2002, 09:42 AM: Message edited by: Greg W ]

What a better way to spend payday than drinking with other climbers on the Eastside. Beware Mattp's strongarm tactics... Anyone have a favorite site? NW Brewhouse worked pretty well last time. Thoughts Ray? Greg W

EASTSIDE PUB CLUB, 10/15. Strong Arm away...

Can the fish tell us where Osama bin Laden is?

This Snoqualmie-to-Stevens leg sounds attractive. Anyone have an idea how soon the trail shuts down? I.E., too much snow.

If you were climbing basalt (maybe you are), I could understand. But after following this whole thread, and knowing what a "good" cam placement in granite looks like, I still have faith in my placements. Each situation, and rock medium, is unique and should be judged accordingly. Keep the faith, bro. Greg W

...And it has a pistol-grip, which makes it easy to handle and fire off-hand

quote: Originally posted by ivan: ...but i found the w ridge pretty ho-hum after the long walk in... This can be alleviated by continuing Eastward from the summit and climbing Flake Tower and The Monument (take prusiks). This makes the long walk much more worth it. One can also continue to The Boxtop, if desired.

Must have some Pearl Jam, Social Distortion, Red Hot Chili Peppers. I must be bored too, to respond to this lame ass thread. Isn't this what Dwayner was bitching about?

quote: Originally posted by Dru: snow/ice creep can involve TREMENDOUS shear forces enough to rip bolts right out of the rock. this happened on many climbs in the Darrans in New Zealand. A friend did her MSc on snow slab shear and the forces were enormous but develop slowly over months. Tens or hundreds of times higher than the max force a bolt can take. especially if the bolt freezes into the ice and moves as a mass with it when it shears. It kind of tells you why when you notice how smooth those slabs are and figure what it was that keeps them that way. I'd be interested in seeing some of that information; very interesting.

quote: Originally posted by trask: Dru, I'll make it easy on ya. How bout' you just see less Trask, because I think I've worn out my welcome and should be off. I'm sure that will delight most. Maybe I'll just pop in with a joke once in awhile. Been fun, take care, seeee ya! Seems like we heard this from none other than Dwayner himself not long ago after his little tiff with Peter Puget. You're not going anywhere, Trask, and you know it.

Like Muffy, I'm married, I climb with people and nobody gets pissed that they don't get laid Greg W it has already begun eh? or should i say stop? I said "THEY", not me. No, bro, if it was going to stop it would have several years ago. Rest assured, Erik, I'm still gettin' it.

quote: Originally posted by Heinouscling: You easily hook up with climbers on this site? Do the two words "tits" and "ass" mean anything? For fuck's sake, of coarse you're going to easily hook up. For every woman on this site, there's 50 horny, swinging horse cocks just waiting to jump on you. Women have it so easy in the climbing community! You need an experienced climber to go up El Cap with? Done! You need to hook up to roadtrip to Red Rocks? Done! You need a nice, big horse cock? Done! -Heinous Heinous, I have had this same experience and I'm not a chic. Every time I have been in need of a partner I have been able to find others with similar goals to climb with and have made some good friends along the way. This is a similar experience of others I have climbed with. Greg W

quote: Originally posted by Fairweather: quote:Originally posted by Poseur: Way back when I needed a bear gun, the 870 was the better pick over the 500, based on the highly scientific "shake test" - shake 'em both and see which one rattles the most and then buy the other. The Remington 870 is probably a superior weapon overall. However the Mossberg 500 is a bit lighter as the receiver is aluminum, versus steel for the 870. Re: the 500 and extreme cold, could there be some potential problems due to the dissimilar metals in this configuration? Also, make sure you leave it "dry" after you clean it; as in, no coating of gun oil as it will cause stickiness of action in cold weather. I'd go pump in real cold weather.

I totally agree with Erik. The 4.3-l V-6 is a killer engine; basically their standby 350 V-8 with two cylinders chopped off. With that I would add a warning against the Chevy 2.8-l; this engine has very shitty reliability ratings. I own Chevies and have thought about the Toyota in the future, but would only consider the V-6.

Take up the guitar and get a mullet; sounds like your living the country music life, you might as well capitalize on it.
