that one is precious.

it's a bad day when your width to height reaches a 1:1 ratio

It's interesting how they give you grief for being a few feet too high on the bouldering wall when they let the mountaineering club send multiple parties up to climb liberty ridge in essentially winter conditions, with the associated consequences.

ah the memories. those mountie threads still slay me

why do people go looking for good snow in a place called sun valley??? BTW I highly recommend a ski tour up around galena summit, some fine lines up there.

Hey I'm just going on a semi-scientific survey. There are plenty of others out there, just seems like many of those with the cummins turbo diesel have something to prove on the hill climbs I'm pretty chill behind the wheel but if some kid in a modified civic etc thinks it's cool to risk others' safety because he got a new coffeecan muffler, well that's uncool.

seriously trans-canada 1 is like a nascar race. I'm doing 85mph and there is ALWAYS some dude in a dirty minivan or similar right on my ass trying to get by on corners and stuff.

deliberately slowing down to aggravate someone puts everyone around that asshole in an unsafe condition. It's really dumb to let ego dictate other peoples' safety. Someone thinks they're cool because they can pass everyone? Cool, let them go on with their little fantasy. I see this all the time with big dodge drivers who think they're the shit because they can pass people on hills while towing and shine their brights through your back window. Yeah, you've got a big ass truck way to go, now please pass me and get out of my life.

it's all about the desire to have a big f'ing steed on which to ride and look down on all the peasants and say I have arrived.

MCTTFAF oh wait he lived? Well I guess LOL YMMV etc.

I do that when someone tailgates too I creep along and do my little car dance "you can't make me hurry" this pathetic passive-aggressive behaviour is the reason for those inexplicable traffic jams or accidents. If someone's being an asshole and is tailgating, the best option is to let them by. It does no one any good to have someone completely pissed off driving a large chunk of metal at high speed, desperately and stupidly trying to pass. Emotions should not come into play when driving. What are you going to do, both pull over and brawl over it? P.S. Canadians are the WORST at this wtf is up with the tailgating

I thought they were just european

where's outside of town these days, redmond? I remember Bend as a sleepy little community when I was a kid. The growth there is insane!

ah, nothing like a smartass at the customer service desk

sounds like a porn movie based in corpus christi

Interesting how using the word "the" in front of shit changes its connotation from the worst to the best thing ever. Usage: 1) "My batting average is shit after being caught pounding that cherry spritzer" 2) "Dropping on my neighbor's doorstep and ringing the doorbell is the shit!"

oh my

Yeah I agree on the reverso deal. It can lock on you when you try to feed out a lot of rope fast to a leader who is making a desperate clip. It also clangs around a lot compared to an ATC, and definitely wears fast if you don't reverse it from time to time to prevent that "knifeblade" from forming on the rim. Very useful for multipitch stuff, but if you can afford an ATC as well I think that's a good way to go.

I think I saw this tip on martha stewart once after that segment on playing the stock market while baking crumpets.
