No. Chatting takes it in the proverbial ass. Thanks, though!

Maybe if you had said something about the heinous crimpers on Toxic ... Anyway, those are nubbins, and they're small and jingus to boot. At least Wedding Day has some edges on it, as opposed to the vile and hateful Barbecue the Pope, aka the hardest route at Smith. Either way, if it's around 5.10 and it's at Smith Rock, it's probably a technique-dependent sufferfest and should be avoided. [ 11-21-2002, 04:14 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

The other possibility is that, as a beginner (and it sounds from your post like you climb in the gym?), you're probably using a lot of big footholds, or your footwork is still sloppy and you're pasting more of your foot on holds as opposed to using just the edge of your shoe (a common technique when one is first starting climbing). As far as whether it's "normal," it probably is if you fit the beginner or crack climber criteria. Otherwise, most folks find their rubber wearing thin on the front inside edge under the big toe.

Right, eurotrash gear, whatever. Dr. Gapington, DFA presumes?

Gape-ass gaper from Gapersville!

How peculiar, Iain! Your uncle the cat has the same last name as that imorris character that posts here! It's a damn mystery, it is!

It always has to turn into a discussion about pussy with you two, doesn't it?

Incorrect, Thinker! DFA was referring to the picture of GWB holding an apparently upside-down children's book. The Doctor did read the bit about the binoculars as well, but he was referring to the book picture. Sorry, old chap!

Seems like with the advances and increased availability of GPS units that some melding of GPS and avy transceiver technology could yield more useful results. Would that not cut out all the walking in a grid and triangulation and all that shite? GPSes are good to what, about ten feet now? Seems like using the GPS to instantly narrow your search area to a 20' diameter circle and then having the capability to switch to a more sensitive standard beacon function would really streamline the unburial process. Or do GPSes not function under snow? Again, why is Dr. Flash Amazing, sports climber, speculating on avalanche rescue technology? Preposterous.

Yeah, the Doctor got duped. Fortunately, a quick ctrl/alt/delete "end task" took care of it in short order. Nice link, though!

Oh, sorry, dude, that wasn't meant as some wise-ass quip like "oh, you should climb at the gym instead of outside." The point was that heaps of people climb there on weeknights, so it's a good place to meet a lot of climbers and find some like-minded individuals who may want to hit the crags with you. Just trying to help a brother out!

See? Sports climbing is the future, you stodgy alpine goats! And don't worry, there are some nice loose-fitting cotton/lycra blends available these days so you don't have to look like Stefan Glowacz circa 1988.

This got posted before, you maroons!

Hmm ... joy.

The companies want something done about this sluggish world economic situation Profits have been running a little thin lately and we need to stimulate some growth Now we know there's an alarmingly high number of young people roaming around in your country with nothing to do but stir up trouble for the police and damage private property. It doesn't look like they'll ever get a job It's about time we did something constructive with these people We've got thousands of 'em here too. They're crawling all over The companies think it's time we all sit down, have a serious get-together- And start another war The President? He loves the idea! All those missiles streaming overhead to and fro Napalm People running down the road, skin on fire The Soviets seem up for it: The Kremlin's been itching for the real thing for years. Hell, Afghanistan's no fun So whadya say? We don't even have to win this war. We just want to cut down on some of this excess population Now look. Just start up a draft; draft as many of those people as you can. We'll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on, hand 'em some speed, give 'em an hour or two to learn how to use an automatic rifle and send 'em on their way Libya? El Salvador? How 'bout Northern Ireland? Or a "moderately repressive regime" in South America? We'll just cook up a good Soviet threat story in the Middle East-we need that oil We had Libya all ready to go and Colonel Khadafy's hit squad didn't even show up. I tell ya That man is unreliable. The Kremlin had their fingers on the button just like we did for that one Now just think for a minute-We can make this war so big-so BIG The more people we kill in this war, the more the economy will prosper We can get rid of practically everybody on your dole queue if we plan this right. Take every loafer on welfare right off our computer rolls Now don't worry about demonstrations-just pump up your drug supply. So many people have hooked themselves on heroin and amphetamines since we took over, it's just like Vietnam. We had everybody so busy with LSD they never got too strong. Kept the war functioning just fine It's easy. We've got our college kids so interested in beer they don't even care if we start manufacturing germ bombs again. Put a nuclear stockpile in their back yard, they wouldn't even know what it looked like So how 'bout it? Look-War is money. The arms manufacturers tell me unless we get our bomb factories up to full production the whole economy is going to collapse The Soviets are in the same boat. We all agree the time has come for the big one, so whadya say?!? That's excellent. We knew you'd agree The companies will be very pleased. The most vocal right-wing, pro-war, pro-gun, pro-violence, anti-gay, anti-environment guy on the board is quoting the Dead Kennedys. Fucking dumbass! You're probably all for the "new" DKs too, huh?

Finally, something for you folks with them ice picks and tampons or whatever those pointy spike things are.

As far as prevention goes, what about the new backpack airbag technology, whereby one might become huge and float nearer the surface of the avy? How about survival odds with something like the Avalung and beacons? Why is a dedicated sport climber asking avalanche questions? [ 11-20-2002, 04:35 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

Choice pick, holmes.
