camcorder for an idiot (me)?

i can't believe how kevbone can start a useless drivel post count increaser with such ease... worthless, imo...

on a side note, throw them on the team if they are competent climbers...you'll have plenty of climbing kids for them to hang with... plus, they'll be ropegunning for themselves...

two boys, 9 and 7...shredderz...send a pm for weekends!

sucks when you're a klutz, don't it?

how 'bout squamish instead of 11worthless?

...or you can stick with the tried and true Ramuta...drop offs at any of the vw gyms...pretty quick turnaround, and well, the resoles and/or toe caps are amazing...

RMNCWRTR, get used to it...the staff at our local ER knows our boys on a first name basis...everything from stitches on the back of the head from backflips to close to the diving board, to broken arms, to split chins, to dislocated fingers, etc. etc. etc.. Luckily my boys are jabbermouths spraying about their "war wounds"...otherwise, i'm sure CPS would be calling us... Come to think of it...i was as busted up (arguably, just as much now as then) as they were when i was a kid...live hard, play hard and pass the bandaids!!! BTW: Saw your post on helmets...

props Jens and Sol!!

I'm going to the gym!!! booyah!

Hi Aric, Thanks for posting here... CCH just strikes me as the most amatuerish business i've ever seen...garage tinkerers... great design, but at the end of the day, still homemade...

BAWHAHAHAHA

MOG X2 with a factor two.....yep that happens all the time. i didn't say "all the time"...i said easily...difference... ever fall straight onto a belay? That'd generate it...and i bet falls at the first piece are getting close to a 1000lbs...

The difference is that a BD microstopper is rated at 5kN, not 12kN...ie, you'd probably do something like put a screamer on it, or double it up, etc. recognizing that is "only rated at 5kN", whereas, if you had a nice camming unit rated at 12kN buried in clean granite, you wouldn't even think twice about it (when you should, if its a cch piece-of-shit with a "real" rating of 5kN)... While i generally think choad is a choad, i think he's spot on about your comment...you can generate 1000lbs pretty easily in some cases....

that is freaking amazing...there are levels, and then there are levels!

totally different in europe...

you don't climb much, do you?????

BAWHAHAHAHA....

or maybe leave them on the ground... i can't imagine a company doing this???? Seriously poor judgement...

cellars are the best training mechanism out there...if you are a social butterfly mark is right, if you want to get sick strong home garage setup is the ticket with some motivated training partners...

totally agree...

Apologies if already posted...
