    yeah. it does prove to be a good source of support, but needless to say i won't be doing that again soon.
    [hell no]

    The problem may be technique. Could we get photos showing your handiwork?

    Your answer to everything is to hit, poke, or trundle boulders on it.

    A couple years ago, there was a news story about mail theft from rural boxes. Citizens staked out their mailboxes with a video camera, recorded the next theft, and called in the sheriff.

     

    Problem solved.

    Just wondering

    I'd suggest you go hit the books again, schoolboy. Or at least the sports page. East African runners have dominated the marathon for years.

     

    I think the answer is a little simpler. Most people participate in the sports in which their friends and family participate. Sports as social activity. People tend to segregate themselves in social activities.

That kind of shit doesn't bother me. I was just using it as an example for my arguement that tax dollars are often allocated towards specific uses that aid only a small fraction of the tax paying population. In the case of Montake bridge there are probably only a handfull of people who own boats that require there being a bridge there, yet it is still there and maintained and tended. If you noticed I also looked at the counter arguement about why 80 foot mast dude wants his tax money so I can get literally a free ride to work everyday while only a small percentage of the public actually uses it. I think I offered a pretty fair analysis.

     

    So how does what your trying to say relate to the fee demo arguement?

    Ummm...

     

    Motorists use the bridge. It goes down to allow cars and peds to cross the cut...

    vapor barrier socks

    My understanding was that vapor barrier socks were used between the liner sock and the insulating sock to keep the insulating sock dry from foot moisture. In this application, the liner socks get soaked and need to be changed every day.

     

    People who don't have this problem may use them over the insulating sock to deal with leaky boots.

     

    The roasting bag (or bread sack) is a cheap way to try it out without buying the VBLs.

    Barkley Village Haggen - 2 day TR

    Heard it might be good, so I got a job scoopin' salad and slicing horsecock at the deli. The approach is pretty easy. Just park in the employee lot way in the back and head for the center strip. Enter the building and go upstairs.

    Gear: Mormon Missionary outfit, smock, hat, nametag. This is one TR where water is not acceptable to drink while on route. There are small flows coming out of fountains inside the cafe.

    The actual trip consisted of bending over and smiling out of my asshole while answering to many exec's and putting up with the devil (customers) for $7/hour. Okay for the approach, not so good for the trip. My partner(s) sucked on this one, and my dignity was forced down to the level of the worm.

    It blows, don't go there. Highly unreccomended. I bailed early on this particular outting. 2 day minimum to 2 weeks notice. I went for fast and light(pay).

     

    BTW: they don't persicute shoplifting there very strictly, so have at it. Lots of booty on this one (but probably underage).

    What exactly were you expecting?

     

    This wasn't a climbing store where your job is to chat with friends all day while ignoring customers.

    Ludicrous! Why should this be a yardstick? What is so special about climbing? How about "imagine yourself trying to do the hardest math test they're capable of acing?" How about "imagine yourself trying to build the Lego creation that person has done".

    From that website (listing deaths of BASE jumpers):

     

    Alf Humphries

    Suicide

    "Alf shot himself months after a BASE jump that left him severely disabled."

     

    Bradley Smith, BASE 8, 1997

    Suicide

    "Brad had an accident from a Arizona bridge (Burro Creek) when he impacted at line stretch and from this received some amount of brain injuries. Brad later committed suicide for unknown reasons."

     

    Something to think about.

    Why I guess then that Big Lou is King of the Mountain, and if he abdicates, then you may address Dwayner as "your royal highness".

    Although not always relevant in this forum, 'Dr.' Attitude would be more accurate.

    So, Greg, what seems to be up your ass, mate? If you take the Doctor's title and demeanor too seriously, it must be your head, as Dr. Flash Amazing is just a front for a guy having fun wasting time on the internet.
    Hmmm.

     

    So Dr. Flash Amazing is neither?

    necessities, novelties, and plain uselessness

    A couple of notes:

     

    1. Think about gear weight and overall pack weight. Sometimes it comes at a price (neutrinos vs. ovals, sewn vs. tied runners) and other times not (Red Ledge shell & pants vs. Squashed Bird). Buy light, multifunctional gear.

     

    2. Remember your partner has gear as well. Use their stoppers and cams as your second set.

     

    My rack and harness gear for trad:

    Smiley stoppers: 4-12

    Wild Country Hexes: 3-8 (I use hexes)

    DMM Cams: .75-4

    5 DMM Pro biners for racking above (get light keylock biners for racking gear)

    Metolius gear sling w/ 4 loops (very cool)

    6 single sewn slings

    2 double sewn slings

    16 Neutrino biners

    21'x5.5 Maxim cordelette

    rappel ring

    3 tied slings - single, double, triple

    belay gloves (Home Depot)

    2 hero loops (6 mm perlon)

    BD nut tool

    3 oval biners for racking above

    Pear shaped locking biner + ATC

    locking biner

    daisy chain + locking biner for personal anchor

    harness

     

    deleting gear as beta warrants, and borrowing from partner as necessary.

     

    Works for me.
