    What would you do?

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    If the guide service is a company, as opposed to an individual, you could:

     

    Take the rope to the company office.

     

    Ask to speak to the company president (or have an appointment ahead of time).

     

    Return the rope to him explaining how you ended up with it.

     

    Also mention during the conversation how you, as a fellow climber, found his company to be rude, unprofessional, and unsafe.

    what i don't understand about WA and OR drivers ed is the part where they tell you to "Wait until the fast guy pulls up behind you, tailgates you, and goes to pass you on the right, then PULL OVER SUDDENLY INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND CUT HIM OFF" confused.gif

    Bullshit.

     

    WA drivers only pull out of the passing lane at their exit.

     

    I did have a WA driver tell me that he intentionally slows down while in the left lane when drivers come up behind him. rolleyes.gif

    MSR Simmerlight?

    Anyone use the MSR Simmerlight? Opinions?

    Weight: It's only about 2 oz lighter than the Whisperlite.

     

    Design: The bending of the fuel tube is a little off, so my stove doesn't sit flat (adding a pot of water fixes that) and the inlet plastic tube in the bottle isn't at a low point so the stove peters out before all the fuel is gone. The top nut on the stove came from the factory loose, so on my first trip, the stove turned into a fireball. Tightening it has fixed that problem so far.

     

    Simmering: The flame is adjustable to some degree, but since I don't 'cook' on the stove, I can't qualify it.

    Thanks Coopah, Fence-Sitter especially, iceicebaby, and catbirdseat.

     

    here is an example of non-real world info: " My mountie instructors always told me that the cord had to be 2mm skinnier than the rope, and that spectra did not work."

     

     

    Get it? Got it? Good! grin.gif

    Heh, catbirdseat is a mountie instructor.

     

    Do you get it now? Good.

     

    Do you get it now? Good.

    But on a deeper level it can be viewed as something sadder - an indication that many people want to sign up to something, as long as the cost to them is minimal, the commitment transitory, and the principle non-existent.

    Depends on what you mean by control. 45 mph on a road bike means you can steer it, but there's no stopping it within a reasonable amount of time if something jumps out in front of you. You're also praying to baby jesus your front tire doesn't blow hellno3d.gif

    Actually, you need to be more worried about the back tire.
