  4. surprisingly few from oregon, and the majority at smith of all places
  5. well, have a good trundle session on mt washington then.
  6. even better is the jacked up jeep with the two HUGE flags billowing out the back (I think the guy ripped them off from some burger king or something). Usually seen flooring it towards a red light only to burn about 50 bucks of rubber off his mud boggers.
  7. "these colors don't fade" "these turn signals don't work"
  8. what is group duty?
  9. Here's the scoop, luckily found it online for you: USMGA Reverso Transitions Be sure to practice it first so you don't take someone off belay by accident.
  10. also worth knowing how to jigger the reverso to disengage autolock while weighted in case you need to lower your second.
  11. the edges on the "high-friction" part of the reverso can get razor-sharp. I do not use the high-friction mode anymore for this reason, instead, double up carabiners if needed. or loose some weight.

  14. I only know someone who has been up there in the mid 80's. He said it was actually decent rock, but the gendarme creeped him out and he wasn't sure what he would find on the other side, being by himself and all. The exposure is mind-numbing, apparently.

  16. there's a tricky gendarme on the crest that has many bail slings right before it.
  17. word is, someone's gearing up for a speed record on the hotlam-bolam....
  18. DON'T CALL ME WHITE DON'T CALLLL ME WHITE DON'T CALL ME WHITE DON'T CALLLL ME WHITE The connotations wearing my nerves thin Could it be semantics generating the mess we’re in? I understand that language breeds stereotype But what’s the explanation for the malice, for the spite?
  19. What exactly are you getting at, ol' bean?
  20. childishly inane? Your insipid wit bores even the cows. How dare you bite your thumb at me!
  21. classic new poster old thread revival!
  22. The doc shelled out a fair bit, to be sure
  23. soft shell pants have been around for ages:
  24. so are the new 'gucci talus pants the same material as the guide pants now hilarious how these companies have convinced people to once again buy polyester pants, and for ludicrous prices
