you're the one analyzing a random sport climbing photo like it's the zapruder film...

Hey sweet photo of you climbing that route in the Patagucci catalog. nice.

jeezus give it a rest. If he was looking a nut right now yeah he'd be freaking. but he's not. you're inferring too much from just a photo

"Cascade Select" vol II has a nice selection of routes, but not many.

so true. I found "developing forearms" to be a tad stiff for 5.9 in places.

If you can have two sets (and we're talking skiing here), some real junkers for the resort are a good idea. Break them, let them get stolen, doesn't really matter. Then some nicer BD adjustables are good for the bc. They are pretty strong. Really would be a bummer to break a pole out there. Don't let the adverts sell you on using them for avi probes. They are a poor substitute for the real thing.

I've been waiting by the phone for a freakin hour now what do you want me to do next?

look out! bad when width/height = 1

I guess if you are wearing a helmet for leading to help protect a leader fall it would make sense to use one of those biker-type helmets rather than one of the hardshells. I would think the former would provide better protection in blunt trauma, and the latter would be better for dealing with rockfall and stuff in the hills, where there might be multiple hits of sharper things.

that guy's probably that far out partly because that route is pretty damn steep. it is in europe, I gather.

hey what's up with guys running the tail back through a nice figure eight anyhow? i've seen that knot come untied over the course of a long day, but, wonder why the fascination with the practice of running the tail back through the knot...does this come from the Seattle Mountaineers or the REI climbing pinnacle certification course or something? say what? You mean the yosemite finish and whatnot? I do that all the time. figure-8's do not need backing up, but I run the rope back through the knot to make untying easier if it gets weighted, and it provides a bit of a backup.

not only a devil, but a PUKING devil. I intend to use it in every post I make!

how immature rbw I'm ashamed

ice cream! fat chicks working out! simmons' head on a sheep!

now that's an objective study you can take to the bank!

JoshK you're such a child. Why not post something amusing, yet at the same time sophisticated and refined for Sir Al Pine?

I will not click on that link at work. I will not click on that link at work. I will not click on that link at work. I will not click on that link at work.

do you have any of that in video form?

veggiebelay has me f'ing STOKED after that post no less than FIVE guys just TEARING UP THE M F'ING SLOPES no pizza-fries-pizza-fries in this joint.

OMFG I LOVE that band. and then the next line about taking some cookie or something up the ass? I'm cranking that tune NOW. YEAH those guys can KICK IT. NOBODY messes with them.

the opportunities for cheap anonymous porn are mind boggling

I see you are hitting all the finest venues...Yosemite, Indian Creek...the Columns.

quadruple backup of figure-8: priceless
