Lame? Why dont you buy one you cheap bastard. cuz there are none for sale, dumb ass!

you lame motherf'-ers...no one has a guidebook?? W T F !!*@(*&$!(*#&!)*(

f-yeah!

bishop area guidebook for bouldering that i could borrow or purchase?

mommy dropped him on his squishy head once too many times...

Saw it yesterday...it was also playing on universal sports...great show!

HA!

yeah...trash is the site bunghole!

you have kids that have been bowled over by dogs? how about a climbing pack ripped open by a pooch? again, dogs will be dogs but irresponsible owners are D I C K S! oh, and trash i made soup outta your chickedns!! Yummy!

shut up trash..

exactly...i don't think roy communicated very well what happened but i would be LIVID if i were him...

OTW kev woulda been gone long ago...

Roy, for what its worth, i'd have killed that f-ing dog if it bit one of my kids and then would have had some serious words with the owner... a fucking territorial dog not on a leash on public trails deserves to have its owner thrown in jail...its not right... and i like dogs...not the way gspotter likes sheep though...

it depends...it has to be the *right* one...with kids, i can not imagine being single...it definitely is a work in process and very dynamic...and i have a great wife to start with....

we'll be there in two weeks...too cold for seneca or new...gonna do the smithsonian thing after the competition...

ok...decision is made...bishop it is...

alpha comp sold yet?

Bullshit. The Petzl rep is an idiot and should be publicly ridiculed. For stainless steel, the endurance limit is something like 50% of the tensile strength. And the endurance limit (fatigue strength) is the cyclical loading for which the material can survive 10 million cycles. Even Raindawg hasn't clipped 10 million bolts in his lifetime. I seriously doubt normal loading of the wire when opening the gate on any biner is anywhere near 50% of the tensile strength. And a shorter live span than what? Every carabiner uses some sort of metallic spring to close the gate. What is Petzl using for a spring? Something steel, I guess, which one could make the same arguments. If this is Petzl's engineering expertise then they and their products should be avoided at all costs. my thoughts exactly...either the spring is flexing or the wire...can't have it both ways...so, if you make a fatigue arguement (which really doesn't happen...seriously, anyone snap a gate from opening it??? ever??) for one system it applies to the other as well...

Dohh...the meat market gym style approach!

how about white, pocketed limestone coming up out of the mediterannean and sunny skies with nekkid women roaming about?

but then again skiing is ghey and you should just go climbing instead...

speed event racers are using slytech moldable back armor...

sack up man! My middle boy asked about disneyworld, my older boy and myself both simultaneously said "No f-ing way" and proceeded to name off all of the climbing areas within striking range!

we are going to DC in february already...screw NY... I'm thinking Bishop or Indian Creek...
