Dr_Flash_Amazing

Someone here must have something to say about this, or DFA's name isn't Dr. Flash Amazing!

Anyway, it's a good thing DFA gave you the wrong beta in that post, so you won't have to claim the flash instead!

One must descend several levels further into lifelessness before one reaches "chat" from "bulletin board." This is just the first level.

You're not hiiiigggghhhh, are you SC?

quote: Originally posted by sexual chocolate: What's "chatting", please? You just like type messages back and forth back and forth, kinda like here? So, what is this "chatting" thing, huh? So, what is this "chatting" business anyways? Try a neddi pot!

Eh? From what the Doctor has heard from you, Sextraterrestrial Chalkbag, you are probably the last person that would need beta for Churning. But anyway, just get the dime edge with your left hand, surf right to the good flat edge, highstep on the nubbin with your left, put your right foot in the small dish, bump your right hand to the right windshield wiper blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ...

Wouldn't "razor sharp tweekers" be well-dressed methamphetamine users? [ 11-21-2002, 04:41 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

Balls. Chatting is poo.

quote: Originally posted by iain: Well that's good to hear. Nubbins, and the start is bouldery to boot. Dammit, DFA is getting forgetful in his later years! The Doctor meant to console you by letting you know that everyone and their dog falls off the start of Wedding Day. Everyone gets on it for a moderate lead, not knowing that the crux is getting off the deck. In fact, DFA can't recall ever walking by there when someone was starting the route and not seeing them flailing. Stupid piece of shit route!

Just put some SPF 80 on the ol' lid and everything should be hunky dory!

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

quote: Originally posted by iain: DFA - "Nubbins? on Wedding Day? Those are sinker jugs pussy" Hey, now, DFA doesn't talk shit like that, buster! 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!
