  1. Those look sweet :tup: Did you get on any of them
  2. Dude, you just came up with the best route name for something out there yet. :lmao:
  3. [sarcasm] Don't go to Canmore, it's not worth it right now. Especially if you get free digs and rides up and down the approach roads from the Park employee's :tdown: [/sarcasm]
  4. Nice call snoop on the “im the best Ice climber around because I take whippers chest beating thread” Another one would be “hey look at me, I got some stolen gear returned” Well that is a good job, but to post it here so everybody can pat your back. Lame. That’s why this entire site should be spray. Because that’s all it really is. Any time you talk about yourself…..its SPRAY! After this weekend we're going to have to change CBS's call to "King of Whippers"
  5. Gary likes to argue just for the sake of argument A fuq'n don't get cold.
  6. Hey, there's nothing wrong with the Pet Shop Boys
  7. Of course, if it's not on the internet then it must not exist
  8. Fine, so the debate is whether or not the blood vessels constrict and dilate alternatively. I don't have a medical dictionary but I bet if you were to look up "hunters reflex" in one, you would find that this is the case :tup:
  9. Read "Challege of the North Cascades", it's all in there :tup:
  10. Isn't that basically what I and the article said.
  11. Actually, what I described is almost verbatim from the research of Dr. Kenneth Kamler. He was the first doctor to treat Beck Weathers on Everest at 21500 feet.
  12. The warming sensation is called "hunter reflex" and is usually well developed in animals that regularly come into contact with cold temperatures. Like the feet of Antartic (and Artic for that matter) birds who wade for fish and even many Sherpa and Eskimo tribes. Your Hypothalmus (part of the brain) senses the drop in temperature and restricts blood to that area in a move to keep from losing a lot of heat from that location in the body. At the same time it tells your frontal lobe, "get the fuck out of the cold water/snow/etc you dip shit." If you don't follow that command it will compromise by alternating between constricted vessels and dilated vessels to keep some heat flowing, but minimizing the heat loss through that area. By the time this happens, usually the victim has added lots of clothes and ends up overheating. Their brain, in it's altered state, responds by removing clothes. The Hypothalmus though, gets fed up, and being well beyond hypothermia, it decides that losing the limb is worth overall survival.
  13. Oh, and hey Oly, fix the double post thingy. Shouldn't it just be in one spot in the template, or does the "Quick Reply" show up in each individuals sectional template. Here
  14. That's really the only reason I would use a plastic boot. For day slogs it's the leathers, for multi-day with the possibility of below freezing at night (frozen boots suck to put on) it's plastics all the way. Hey, gruntpltleader, you are planning on doing Rainier in a day, right?
  15. Rasta bivy kit
  16. Hey! That's ME!!!!! That's a huge rock you just shit!! Bet that hurt
  17. Super-feet are so good because during the manufacturing process each individual piece makes a deal with the devil for their sole. Ba dum dump! Ching!
  18. So, they bailed before the top?? http://climbing.com/news/hotflashes/grandsqueezebox/ Impressive
  19. Might go with something with some more insulation if you plan on doing Rainier or another PNW volcano, but you shouldn't have to go with plastics if you are not doing them in winter. Just size them with two pairs of thick socks and get some super-feet and you're golden :tup:
  20. I've still got two years on you then N00B!! Edited: How's that for a snaffle page top beyotches!!
  21. It was funnier when it happened last year: Before Kevbone
  22. Don't you mean $105*20 = $2100
  23. The fuckers at the 4x4 shop told me this jack and shovel would get me outta anything??
