I use wands more on searches and stuff than as part of rec. climbing. Usually just to mark a track trap with a date and time etc. Or to mark evidence and stuff. But I have used them in sketchy Wx on big glacier when there is a clear path through an icefall and stuff. Thanks again for all the input. Guess I'll stick to duct tape.

Could you imagine? That's environmentalism worthy of our head of state!

why's the summit express closed timm@y?

you'll never see a louder shouting match than between two climbers wearing windstopper hats with earflaps.

what's that big white sand pile? the community bmx track?

ack fern never reveal the source code!

eh?

dunno but I've always wanted a goretex coffee mug so that steam would shoot out the sides

when was that picture taken? 1983 or so? Looks like a screen capture from 321 Contact

get a mac and all your 1984 probs will be solved.

das ist eine snafflehugrûnderømunbund!

what's with windshield repair places? How can they pay up to $100 off your insurance deductable and give you 25 free dinners to Shari's? Just how badly are they taking you to the cleaners?

well now you're getting into my domain.

I think that was MtnHigh over by Leut's. Best wait for high wind, precip, and some cold temps for the ridge it seems. No reason to play w/ rock on that thing.

The multiple wraps, if snug, will probably elimi I think if you asked 10 rigging guys to rig a "high strength tie-off" you would get ten very similar anchors to the above picture. Not a very useful anchor for anything outside of rescue, but it is certainly one of the strongest, if not the strongest, anchor available with today's technology, assuming a bomber tree.

don't you understand? snowshoeing is supposed to be difficult and tiring, not this pansy yupi stuff, that's way too easy.
