Oh, that one's been done many times on this board.

Are you saying that you want all the rights of a vehicle without any of the obligations?

Can you post that picture of me on the summit of Storm King for the 16th time for me? It just gets funnier with every repetition. Oh wait, I forgot. You've got me on ignore. Sorry, I think you mean Fairweather...

Pedestrians rule.

Oh dear, gentle reader, what harsh talk you bring into the Cafe!

Sorry, I've met her. Ruth is an Edmonton ex-pat. So, OW, since you've met her, can you say she's hawt? If so, you can clear my (apparently) tarnished image for thinking she has big lats. Oh, them are muffintop lats for sure, but she's lost a fair bit of weight since leaving Edmonton and she's headed in the right direction. She's plenty hawt, unless you're deeply smitten with the Kate Moss archetype.

I believe the Death Couloir is actually the mellower looking one on the right. The Supertaco discussion is a little hard to follow, but I think they're all talking about the right couloir, and one fellow refers to the left as looking like it would take aid on awful rock to access it. That photo is supposedly unbelievably fat conditions, and it seldom looks that good. If you do it, it's mandatory that you post a Twight style TR.

link to supertopo thread Here's some info on the Death Couloir, but if you're going to drive that far, this is not the peak you want. The big rock buttress is also notoriously loose and nasty. I think it's some sort metamorphosed limestone, and some of the oldest rock in the Sierras.

Although I am generally opposed to violence, i would happily shove a large caliber gun up your butt, and pull the trigger, if it would only shut you up. You know Dru, this sort of post isn't really your style. I was going to chastise you for threatening even ludicrous and unlikely violence, but then I read the preceding posts and decided I should give you a thumbs up instead.

Sorry, I've met her. Ruth is an Edmonton ex-pat.

I just didn't want anyone to miss the graphic that goes with this statement.

Always assume the series of tugs means "you're on belay, start climbing, don't fall" In terms of non-verbal cues, you might want to use standard crane/boom hand signals used on construction sites. Of particular use are "lower" "hoist" and "dog everything"

Yeah, I've been trying to induce a second ascent for long enough that it's become a bit of a running joke. If you want any more info than this, feel free to PM me. lower red arrow = class 3 approach to optional 5.11a face pitch start upper red arrow = class 4 approach to 5.10 start green arrow = late season water source

Oh, and sometimes when you can't really communicate by shouting at each other directly, it can work to bounce your voice off a nearby wall. Ever notice how you can sometimes hear both parties on an adjacent route really well, but they can't hear each other? It can be fun to play translator in that situation: Just shout, "he says he's having an affair with your wife."

I'd have to agree with Bug, and all the other old farts on this question. If it's not broke, why fix it? I've always had the rope tug non-verbal cue work; if there's a lot of drag you just substitute "yard" for "tug" and the message gets through. Of course, it's always best to agree on your signal before you need to use it. Radios are okay, but really, it's just more crap to malfunction, like electric windows on a car.

Dan hasn't posted in two years, and his email is not set to be publicly available. However, if you were to PM him on this board, a notice will be sent to the email address he registered with, and the current board software upgrade seems to send the content of the message along with the notifications.

oooh, another goodie!

or this?

Would this one be offensive too?

In the movie, I thought the ways in which he touched the lives of all he met was a little too "Then Came Bronson" for me. Or "Touched By An Angel" or whatever form of the mysterious-stranger-comes-to-town-and-helps-people-with-their-problems mythos you're familiar with. I just saw the film in Flagstaff, where the locals are a little breathless. The guy who played the aging hippie with Katherine Keener is a Flagstaff ski shop owner/river outfitter who met Sean Penn on a river trip and got snapped up for the film despite his protests that he wasn't an actor. I gather he's pretty much just playing himself, but still, he's had a few other offers from Hollywood. Iluka pretty much clearly stated my take on it, and as a middle aged family guy I have some sympathy for JayB's statement as well. Tvash's musings are interesting too.

He'll visit you with locusts He'll visit you with plague He'll visit your apartment Kill your cat and break your leg Cause God is a groovy guy Uh-huh, get down.

Call me an old fart, but I still don't get it why it's so fashionable to have your girlfriend look like she's 11. Ick.

Well, with the looming time change, I'm going to unsticky this until that time comes around again. Have a great winter all, feel free to contact me if the weather makes a rally and you've got an open midday.

What's that bit about how you make 5 pounds of fat sexy?
