I love those ridiculous situations where you are hanging out on something steep and your fingers are worked, and you're trying to flip that little clipper back into your thumb and index finger to re-clip it because the webbing is too long, or too short because you're using thicker gloves, etc. Ah ice climbing.

hah nice find. 2 DOLLARS

heh you think 13,123 ft is cool, you should check out what's at 13,124 ft!

whatever you end up getting, be sure to wear the entire rack of them walking from the smith rock parking lot, echoing off the canyon walls.

Oregon Climate Service still predicts below-average temps and above average precip through Dec. Then above-average temps and above average precip for rest of winter.

STFU

with a rider stipulating tax break^2/liberal for incomes over $300,000.

I like gym routes labeled like so:

sounds like you have a lot of problems. badumching

since I should receive a wedgy on principle (along with confiscation of my 20-sided dice) for my above post I will refrain from requesting it.

bah your pseudo xml has no doctype declaration.

is that todd skinner in the background?

until (my $gut eq 'full') { chomp; &veg } sub veg { do(nothing.pl); sleep(200) }

did you know todd skinner climbed city park?

I agree about the cold cold world packs. Those seem to be really nice and simple I've no problem spending the money on the Andinista, as long as I can expect the company to treat me right when I have a problem. Or ideally, not have a problem at all. They charged my friend a lot for a new ice sack when the liner of his old one peeled off. The main problem has been the zippers. I have perhaps misused it a bit hauling some really heavy things though.

Beware of the smaller wired BD hexes. Some weigh in with a 6kN rating (#3 for example). Hardly what you want for lead climbing, and they weigh the same as nuts. Silly little things! The bigger BD hexes are nice for picketesque type climbing as they are exceedingly light. I think the #11 cowbell was placed about 8 times on a scamper up the N. Buttress of Fury this summer. Better than dragging up the costalots, and no big deal if you lose it. It is nice to sling your own with some quality cord.

tell me, is it a pain in the ass to re-log in each time under a new name? do you have a database of usernames/passwords/hotmail addresses?

warm port makes winter fun!

Sweet only $56 for the thinnest piece of nylon known to man. I've been disappointed with wild things. I've been using an andinista for about 5 years and it just keeps falling apart. I'd send it back but they were less than accomodating to my friend when he sent back an ice sack this year. They are not the company they used to be "back in the day". I have to insert the obligatory andinista=turgid sausage comment as well. They are pretty light though, just disappointed with the product's stitching and zippers. In other words, the product.

clearing out the cookies and re-logging in seems to have fixed the "last 24/48 hrs" post search now. All is well.

is that that at anonymous guy narrating that guy was hilarious...and correct. edit: holy shit that's Rob Nachtwey in that movie, I was on that guy's soccer team in college, haven't seen him since then. no friggen way.

You wouldn't be referring to THIS Impala would you

It would be miserable if you were driving down the freeway and your car turned into a boombox

I wonder what shadow_man2 has to say about this.
