    Orange alert

    Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they AREN'T out to get you!
  3. I recently started skiing atomic r:ex's w/ freerides and denalis after using tua mitos w/silvretta 500's. It was like switching from a yugo to a mack truck.
  4. stupid dinos didn't make it on the ark. punks deserved everything they got. thank god tuna and salmon made it on the ark. could you imagine if such delicacies were lost to the flood?

    Bike Thieves Suck

    That has worked pretty well at times in Minneapolis/St. Paul (at least when I was there for school). They had a bunch of yellow bikes you just rode around and left wherever.

    Question for Dru

    time for a big rock, eh?
  14. It pays to practice skiing AT w/ heels released, otherwise this gets old real fast for both you and your tele partners.
  15. AT boots hike much better than alpine ski boots, w/o question. Even the beefiest AT boot does not compare to the stiffness and support of an alpine boot. AT boots have a rockered, Vibram-style sole for hiking.
  16. I have rock climbed in Scarpa Denalis when doing some ski traversing in Canada and it was bloody awful. They just don't have the feel and your lower leg is essentially locked down, even w/all buckles released. Downclimbing steep ice is a real pain because french technique is almost totally out. I use them for easy climbs like Leutholds and South side on hood but not much else. I have put in some practice with mountaineering boots in skis, so I prefer to sacrifice skiing speed for good climbing. The plastics in AT boots tends to be much stiffer than that of plastic mountaineering boots. Maybe there are better AT climbing boots out there. Denalis are definitely geared for the skier. The Scarpa F1 intrigues me, but I wonder if it is any better than my Invernos. I have climbed with many people who climb w/ tele boots successfully, but I've also heard a lot of bitching about them too. Both AT and tele boots take crampons, but obviously model compat. should be confirmed.
