strategically placed straw would make your bouldering pad move automatically as you traverse on a climb

fast and light?

bigwall rack:

but once it no longer feels threatened it would deflate! You would have to keep yelling BOO! as you climb up the pitch. Sketchy.

would be kind of a pain on your rack when they start squabbling with each other. maybe you could separate them a bit with one of those aid racks. the noise would be intolerable after awhile, and no doubt your belayer would have to carry an umbrella

until they go totally ballistic and shred your face with their razor sharp talons of death mwahaha.

uh you don't see my name on the "who's online" thing do you? user: iain what: viewing "hot chicks of climbing pictures" thread idle time: 0 seconds

went to meadows this weekend. was advised by ski patrol to carry beacon and shovel if entering heather canyon. that's almost as good as the "expect unmarked obstacles" disclaimer sign

oh if I turn on that feature I show up as anonymous? I did not realize that.

sweet wish I could enjoy the snow more with the folks.

who was it who proposed stuffing falcons in offwidths during nesting season?

you guys are killing me

it has been dipped in some holy hot spring at banff by will gadd. it comes with a certificate.

yes, immediately.

the steep skiing mecca stuff is lame. If there are cliffs in the area and it is above snow level there is steep skiing wtf. btw: oregon drivers have my vote for worst snow drivers. what f'ing part of "chains/traction required" don't you understand mr. lincoln navigator. stop trying to pass me with that crap. multiple minivans spinning out and winding up in oncoming traffic

the probe business is perhaps the most saturated market on the planet.

thanks for the broccoli bands idea beck, that will work great. l.goddess: yeah just sling it over your shoulder. as beck says it makes life easy during beacon searches too. It's a pain to carry a shovel around while working the transceiver in one hand, and an even bigger pain when you don't carry one around at all

here it is: but $45 now? what a rip. go to canadian tire and pick up a driveway scooper! looks like life-link has a nerdy gizmo that replaces my duct tape deal I said above. In fact, they even badmouth the duct tape deal.

I like the lifelink metal ones, the black one. Don't skip on scoop size (though some of those things are enormous). I guess I haven't tried other shovels too much, but a medium-sized metal one seems to work well. I attached a strap to the handle and shovle so I can ski with just it and a probe duct-taped to it when yo-yoing.

yeah suspect.
