What are we looking at?

I'm not sure what type of climbing you are looking to do. You have some snow/glacier experience, but it's summer. Do you want rock experience?

Fuckin' lame ass.

Tuck your tampon string in, beyotch, and suck on your squeezy-bottle of SHUTTHEFUCKUP! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

You're the one who spoke up, shitstick. Now reap the whirlwind.

Best thing you can do for the environment is kill yourself.

She's a newbie, dude. The situations you mention are a little down the road for her. Got's to start with the fundamentals.

The rope should be your personal anchor. Ummm... what about when you're at the top of a sport pitch and you have to untie yourself to feed the rope through the chains? Or any time you're getting ready to rap off of anything, for that matter? What do you anchor yourself with then? Yet another reason not to sport climb. Fenderfour has it right; just use a sling, you're carrying them anyways.

You should eschew the unnecessary bullshit that you see many climbers with and go straight for the must-have equipment that you will use everywhere from the crag to the alpine: pink bunny slippers, a full-body Ewok suit, a banjo, six-pack of Pacifico w/ limes, and a towel. Some sort of bongos, african drums, or a tambourine.

The rope should be your personal anchor. I don't understand the many people I see committing only to a daisy as a personal anchor. The rope is fucking bomber, and it is a good habit to get into as you may not have a daisy around all the time (i.e., alpine rock climbing where weight is an issue). I use a daisy at places like Squamish where the anchors are mostly bolts, but I always tie in with the rope to the main anchor point first. My advice would be to decide what type of climbing you want to do (try both sport and trad) and then seek out mentors who will are willing to teach you. Greg_W

touche.

Spent Sunday drinking beer, swimming, and shooting. Sighted in my rifle and shot clays with 12 guages. Now that's fun shit!

Regardless, I own it. Period. Don't qualify it. If I want it to increase in value (which we all do with our investments), I need to be responsible. That's the part you leave out. Will you come over and eat my lawn? We hate mowing it.

Now, if you had just shot something it would have been a perfect weekend.

But it's healthier to eat meat; your body needs the protein and other nutrients. Plus, we have incisors for cutting and tearing flesh - we're born meateaters. So, knock off the horns and hooves, slap her on the bbq, and pass the A-1!!!

The fact that you take these actions of your own volition is quite admirable. However, don't fucking try and legislate me to do that shit. You make choices for yourself, and I applaud that, but the next step with you enviro-nuts is to want to make all this shit the law. That is not what a FREE country is about, man. On a sidenote, why anyone would voluntarily go vegan, I'll never know.

Hit Squamish. Saw Fern, Caveman & friend, Ian, defiled MisterE's van, and probably saw RumR way up on the Grand. I always enjoy seeing where all the cars in the parking lot are from: saw a Pennsylvania and Illinois this time.

Comparing owning land and having children is stupid. When you purchase land...as in, property, it is yours to do with as you see fit, within the bounds of current laws, statutes and codes. As a landowner, I believe, you should develop or use your land responsibly. Maintaining that you do not own land even though you purchase it, but merely manage it, is silly. Property rights are foundational to the freedoms we enjoy in this country.

ha! I totally blow your theory...i'm shorter than anything, finnish and live in seattle and don't drive a truck...hahahaha Yah, but the Fins aren't really Scandanavians now are they? I was told by my Swedish secretary that the Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes were scandanavian but the Fins were not. I really don't know , I'm just spreading rumours...pun definitey intended, and innuendo. Sisu Suomi is a Finn, and he's a short little fucker. Scrappy, though; I wouldn't fuck with him.

Dude, she's about 9 years older than him. Granted, she's hot, but he ought to be calling Salma Hayek. Who wouldn't?

Then there are a lot of accepting people in the world today. So many people seem okay to just LET things happen, thinking they can do nothing to control them. I say impale them on the broadswords of their enemies and scatter their bones on a foreign land because they do not deserve to reside in perpetuity in this great land.

Not to me. Why didn't I get the memo? If I didn't get the memo, did it really happen? How do I know? Maybe it was a big conspiracy. Were they the actual notes? How do we know? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Bunch of chicken fuckin' littles, man, the way you bitches whine about this and that. Fuck all y'all. I channel derision at you and wait for the day I can spit on your graves.

Maybe the same people that Hillary talked to in HER closed door meetings on a universal healthcare system.

Who the fuck do you think you are? The fucking internet hall monitor? Some advice: Keep your fucking head down and shut the fuck up. I don't know what rock you crawled from under, but your attitude that you are saving cc.com from gotterdammerung is stupid and pathetic. Greg_W

Haha, jon, funny. I have a great deal of respect for these guys; it's one tough sport. The fact that you have pink frillies on YOUR spandex makes me a little nervous, though.
