Thanks matt, good info. I'll check it out (I often end up in a group of three so this has my interest). You don't seem to mind mixing ropes w/ different histories. I would probably like to use one line as a glacier rope periodically (I'm not loaded w/ cash so I have to get the most out of this stuff).

I think we all know the only way to get chicks is and then

sorry Jeff Corwin, I stand corrected! that great awk rawks!

I entered the climbing world as a general mountaineer on snow/ice and scree, followed by some alpine climbing. I finally have been doing some sport climbing (even in the gym at times-shudder) I've come to like sport climbing. You can't beat the relaxing atmosphere of Smith, lying around in the sun in a beautiful place and doing safe climbing for a change rather than seeing how much you can scare the crap out of yourself. Totally different experience, but one I've come to enjoy and appreciate. I have respect for those 5.13 sporties, even if they would soil their trousers on easy alpine trad or a steep snow/ice in full conds. whatever floats yer boat

if you guys start posting resumes and shit to figure out who is the authority on bad brush I'm outta here we all know what bad brush is don't we? I know, you're wondering if that's a promise or a threat. rock on!

Don't listen to Tex he's only a chronic gumby. I'd use double ropes, but like everything in climbing, I'm scared to try something new like that when life is on the line (even though it seems to make a lot of sense w/ 3). I just need to give it a try I suppose. Do people typically use an ATC or equiv. for two followers? Or some new-fangled reverso deal? Seems like a lot of rope management at small belay ledges? Sorry if my inexperience in this shines thru...

He's the only smart one (or she?) either way, the only solution is a battle of the bands!

Way to avoid the bivy at the chains. A little dangerous heading up there w/o any toddtex though. Rock on...

I feel your pain brother.

Everyone knows you already have the longest-running thread on cc.com. And now you throw out out a bone like that?

so what you are saying is they won't let you rock out?

nice work jon you made my day.

trask works like 6 bulletin boards. such a hardcore.

Probably best not to use the fuel bottles that say "MSR Fuel Bottle" too.

Job? This is my job. What, you don't get paid to be on here?

yeah, it's almost as unfair as preplaced cellphones and CH-47's. what is the climbing world coming to?

Your mug in the avatar pic window is killing me! you like bend brewery better than deschutes? I usually go there when deschutes is too crowded (when in town)
