Caveman,
You're as repellent as ever. Dr. Flash Amazing wisely predicts a repeat banning performance within 40 days.
Clock's ticking, you vile oaf.
Not meaning to hassle you, but that would be repelling as opposed to repellent, wouldn't it???

bowline...yes the knot that a climber from the PCN died using in index...
Bowline = not the same as the uber-safe DBBB. Get your shit right.
AMEN

dont let the door hit ya on the way out
as long as its not your foot, i'm good...
wouldn't be too sure bucko
just remember its climbing season, so no crampons please...

Listen, you fuck any knot up and it will not work, right?
Figure 8's have advantages and disadvantages, bowlines properly dressed have advantages and disadvantages...this is like arguing ford vs. chevy and then not changing the oil for 200k miles...both will die on you, duh!
Personally, i'd rather tie in w/ a double bowline w/ a rethread...been doing it for 18 years now, averaging climbing (w/ lots of falling
) three days a week...haven't had it come undone under some big falls and am willing to bet you'll break the rope before the knot yields...Dumb discussion...

Lynn maybe a sporto, but she can climb the nose in a day and there's not too much sport climbin on that bitch.

Sphinx said:
Actually, she tied in with a bowline.
And I have created a clusterfuck by pulling a single figure-8 up to the chains. So I lead a climb right next to it, and managed to get the rope down. I don't want to do that again, though!
No...she did not! It was an incomplete 8...

and let's not forget the case of LYNN HILL splatting from the top of the Styx wall at Buoux due to not finishing her figure 8...Guess what knot she's tyin' in w/ now?? GOOD OL' Bowline...
That's the anecdote in question!
Yeah...but she's just a lame sporto, right???

get the new exit 32 guide book. i just got a preview copy and it seems pretty good. it has a bunch of hard climbs i didn't know were there. although some of the routes, cracks, described i remember seeing last year and thinking they were so dirty it looked like they hadn't been climbed in years.
also all the grades seemed to be bumped up a little so it is great for ego building/stroking.
I think you'll find if you get on some of the harder routes, that your assumptions of "bumped up" grades is going the wrong direction...as well as the common "overbolted" theory...

that's my whole point...they EAT people as opposed to mauling them...
YOU SEEING BEING FAT LIKE MYSELF, I HAVE LESS TO WORRY.
SHORT PEOPLE ON THE OTHER HAND ARE AS GOOD AS SCREWED!
yeah, but they'll smell "sheep" on you, and see a fat tasty sheep for a snack...
Where you climbing this weekend?

Or better yet, have fish and wildlife handlehuman-animal encounters like they do in other developing countries.
While in costa rica a guy went swimming in alligator-infested waters and lost an arm. Did they kill 10 gators to find the one with the arm in its gut? Hell no. They made fun of the guy (American by the way) who went swimming with the alligators! Two weeks prior, it was discovered that this bright young American hiked to the top of an active vlocano called Arenal, and was burned badly on his feet from gas vents he stepped through.
In both instances there were signs warning of the potential dangers, but he was a dumb-ass. He would fall under the category, "Recreational Darwinist."
Problem w/ your scenario and cats is that they probably wouldn't go for the "obvious" dumbass who's making a shit load of noise...They tend to grab solo people or small kids...
I can't imagine many things scarier than a 150 lb hungry cat...you don't even know that they are there until its over...much rather run into bears (even grizzlies) than a cat...cuz if you "ran" into a cat, its cuz you've been invited to (be) dinner...shit, most bear attacks are just a plain old mauling (not that it can't kill you) and then they walk away...cat won't just be "walking" away...

I'm just kidding. I can never remember how to tie the damn thing either.
I thought that was sex...

School is easy, easy, easy, easy - when I was in school I went climbing 3 days a week, played basketball every day, had plenty of time for hanging out - I mean your in class for a couple hours a day, max, and the rest of the time is yours.
Not true for me.
Just waiting to hear the song you'll be singing when you wake up!!

"a) work does not follow you home, ever."
What the hell kind of job do you have? My work ALWAYS follows me home. And no staying up "till 4am"? I've put in two all nighters at work THIS WEEK, and thats just standard practice around here.
School is easy, easy, easy, easy - when I was in school I went climbing 3 days a week, played basketball every day, had plenty of time for hanging out - I mean your in class for a couple hours a day, max, and the rest of the time is yours.
Nothing, and I mean, nothing in this universe is worse than droning away your life in an office job. School is BLISS compared to work.
Ummmm....i'm w/ PLC on this one...

I seem to get the impression that many peoples' jobs give weekends off....not the case with school.
I seem to get the impression that many peoples' curriculums give them the summers/winter breaks/spring breaks off...not the case with jobs.
