hah I didn't waste my time up there. Instead I wasted my time down on the t-line trail 9hrs, 27min of pain, zero freshiez. Good decision-making.

could you have found something lower-angle to ski?

Forget the x. Just clip the sling ends and tie a knot in the webbing to equalize. No reason for that x business on a sport route (or really almost anywhere else). Draws are just as good.

criminal too - ran the timberline trail.

80 percent of oregon state fans are considering suicide after this weekend's game vs. LSU.

I defy someone to show me a rope cut at the middle because a sharpie pen was used to mark it. I believe the main reason sharpies are not recommended is that there is no control over the fluid they use to transport the ink. They may be safe right now, but the company is under no obligation to warn you if they change the formula to something that destroys climbing ropes. This is not a recommendation for or against sharpie pens.

didn't get rid of the bouldering photos though

better hope you didn't leave the keys behind on that car shuttle!

It is better to get injured on some mountains than others. Even which side of the mountain range on which you are injured can determine the quality of response. The above scenario would probably require a mobile phone and many (including me) do not carry one most of the time. It would be sad if someone had to spend two chilly nights out w/o pain relief rather than one if the "personal crew" couldn't get the job done. Most rescue units have liability insurance to protect them when operating under the county, or they have their own unit policies in place. Make sure these are really good friends. Be sure you have some rock solid medical background to work with. A distorted tib-fib fx can easily distract someone from an aching spine, for example, and shock must be recognized and the source identified.

I guess basically what I meant was shut up for awhile, you talk too much. And that is coming from someone who posts on here way too often.

Well, it's ad hominem, but you do get some additional snobbery points for an attempt, though you try to use it too often. Differing viewpoints? No I agree bypass surgery is pretty serious. But all I see when you make comments like those above is a snotty little brat who thinks he knows the world because he went on some college field trip to eastern Europe once. Now go back to arguing with veterans about how the Vietnam War really was. It's fairly entertaining.

As usual, you are head and shoulders above everyone in class. Don't you have some newspapers to read? Or at least some other thread in which to proclaim your tv-free intellectual lifestyle?

In other news, water is still wet.

pffft I don't see anyone onsighting it yet.

STFU n00b my link is pristine. maybe you should stop logging in with your hamster-powered abacus. Pwned once again.

I found this hilarious website that has some funny route names Another site to try is this one They just keep coming!

It would be a bitch at a rap station sorting through miles of the same-colored skinny rope.
