whatever the current trend is, it's bound to ooze intelligence and hilarity

who was calling me a dork in the other thread?

American Pie is a quality flick

it's a season pass photo

OMG give it a rest 1st graders. It's just not funny.

pathetic.

5kN is almost impossible to generate in a top rope set up. i whipped on mine a bunch of times tring stuff with no damage and tlg pROBABLY weighs less than i do. agreed, good to hear some whippers have been taken on it. I happen to have one too.

Alien left me totally petrified for weeks when I was little. If that was its intention, then I guess it was a good movie.

wasn't there talk about the ushba ascender slicing the rope if you look at it wrong

this thread rots

are all canadians this surly?

I am still struggling to summit the ominous Mt. Bachelor, but I have summited both Mt. Pilot and Mt. Black nearby.

I was hoping you would say it quickly fills with magma. If that were the case I would be there in under 2 hours

lebowski is way over-rated. it sucked.

why was it closed?

You will be drawn and quartered if you start drilling up there, guaranteed.

Is that some greek friend of yours?

it would be good for this site to have a keyword search for trip reports, like the photo gallery. As is, to get a good search on johannesburg you have to try every possible mispelling of johannesburg, along with j-burg, j-berg, jay-berg, jayberg, j'burg, j'berg, j'ürg, etc.

I have the Towers which are very similar. The toes are definitely cramped but very comfortable. I hate the GoreTex liner and think the leather Ferratas might be a better idea. The liner just makes my feet wet from sweat unable to get out when it is hot and no gradient across the liner (which is pretty much when I wear them). But they are great for low 5th class stuff. They work well with aluminum crampons on steep snow too.
