So, if you have any recommendations, strategies, tips, or comments I'd love to hear 'em!
Climb more.
Eric Horst suggests that the bulk of training climbs should be a couple grades below your max to teach your body to move more fluidly over the rock. Also you can substitute endurance by climbing more efficiently, using the minimal amount of effort on each move.

So, then you can fit in 18 minutes without thinking aboot climbing, eh? But the remaining two minutes are cut off short because you can't keep your mind on the trask at hand, eh?
That explains alot.

6. My post about the media surfing this web site was "deleted" last time I spoke up. I still think the media is a just a bunch of vultures. They really don't care about "us" as climbers, mountaineering as a sport, or accurate reporting; they only want the exciting story first. Facts and relevancy mean little when selling airtime to advertisers. Newstips and King5news probably wear lots of polyester and pluck their eyebrows, beware.
Hey!
My post yesterday on Dru being a little "quick on the draw" also was deleted!
I guess this means that Dru also probably wear lots of polyester and plucks his eyebrows.
Beware!!!!!!!!

No content yet, but it's got potential.
Much like cc.com.
Except the bit about potential.

1) how long... up to 20 minutes if she's cute
I guess this includes the 18 minutes of foreplay.

You can get Red Ledge side zip pants from Campmor for $40 or so. Got good reviews as lightweight raingear. Don't know how durable it is. I got a pair but haven't used them yet.
I'll second that. I bought a pair in Seattle at Outdoor Emporium for $32. Light and cheap. And kinda breathable.

A lot of jackets have a lot of crap on them you don't need. What you need are, 2 pockets, pit zips, a hood, durable, and good waterproof/breathable material.
Marmot Precip. Any real complaints about this jacket?

I have a similar windshirt from Montane that I take on every trip. The material is water resistant, not waterproof, so it sheds off mist and light rain and snow, but you'll probably get soaked in a downpour. I wear it over a base layer while moving in cold weather, and will layer fleece insulation under it in when moving slowly. I still carry a light waterproof, breathable jacket in my pack, but only use it in the rain.
Works for me.

That was hilarious!
But you forgot Scot'ierra Designs, Scot'Bean, Scot'Sportiva, etc. 
But tone it down. The Scot'Face

That's nice.

Tex just pulled a bolt off of Monkey Face over the summer. it was on a bolt ladder I think. The bolt came out as he was unhooking his aider from it
New this week at TROLLER.COM: Glue on bolt hangers. Breaking strength 0.1 kN. Comes with fake stud so it looks like it is a drilled bolt.
Glue these babies on the rock, throw your chalk bag at a few random spots, BINGO instant sporto trap! watch em crux, and go to grab the draw...pop! pop! pop! just like Pringles!
Don't forget the colored tape marking the holds!

barrier - n. a thing that prevents passage or approach. (Webster's New World Dictionary). So a vapor barrier prevents passage of vapor. Like the garbage bag (hefty-esque).
I understand the concepts. I'm personally a big fan of windshirts over baselayers for travel in most conditions. But the windshirt isn't a barrier to vapor transport. It does slow down transport, but it is not a barrier.

Depends what you consider a VBL. Twight calls a microfibre windshirt worn over polypro a VBL layer as it inhibits some moisture but not all.
Well, Twight says fun isn't necessarily fun. A vapor barrier liner should be a liner that is a barrier to vapor. Barrier as in impermeable. The point of the barrier is to keep the outer insulation dry from sweat.
Polypro? Yuck.
Wool Rocks!

Serratus makes a superlightweight job, marketed as a VBL, but made out of semibreathable nylon.
Ummm....
This doesn't make any sense. A Vapor Barrier Liner should not be breathable.
What's up with that?

Cut backs. Bam! No warning. Now what do I do? Anybody hiring? The bright side is that you'll have more time to spray on cc.com!

Not only that:
On January 31, after 20 days of projecting and a mere week before leaving for a six-week trip to Europe, Adam Stack made the third ascent of Tommy Caldwell's Kryptonite at the Fortress of Solitude near Rifle, Colorado. Originally graded 5.14d by Caldwell, Kryptonite's grade came under scrutiny after François Legrand's aggressive cleaning produced a hold that second ascentionist Yuji Hirayama said makes the route 5.14c. Stack, however, chose to avoid the manufactured hold, calling his redpoint method "Kryptonite au naturel" and confirmed the 5.14d grade.
Oh my Gawd!
