Is that how you pick up all the ladies?

I can pick up a precip at rei-outlet for $50 right now

I should note that I currently have a marmot driclime and a big heavy Goretox NF guide jacket (noted earlier. it's fine for boarding in, but i'd assume get rid of it). I'm thinking about buying a precip on sale at rei-outlet right now, to tag with the driclime...

What's your favorite jacket? What jacket ALWAYS makes it into your pack during the summer? I need a new (or used) one soon and there are so many choices. Thinking about just getting a Marmot Oracle for the time being and maybe a new winter jacket later on to replace this big, bulky, heavy NF i've had for several years and normally use for boarding. Would a Sirrus handle both jobs well? But SO much money...egad man. That stuff ain't cheap.

I've been pulled over three times since I moved to Seattle. Never gotten a ticket. Just be nice and whatnot. I think the officers here are pretty friendly. The first time i got pulled over, i was leaving work at about 10pm and I work in Pioneer Sq. I reached down for a cd and kind of swerved into another lane. As soon as that happened and i saw the cop, i knew i'd get pulled over. Not only was my insurance card out of date (though i did have current insurance), but i had a broken taillight and my tabs were expired (though again, i had just not put them on yet). On top of that, I was still using my AZ ID and I'd been here for over two years. The guy stood out in the rain, took all my information. Ran it through and then told me to get all that stuff taken care of. No ticket for any of it. He could've been a dick and given me a ticket for all three. I might have gotten out of them, but it wolud've ruined my morning to do it. Not one week later i get pulled over on I-90 for the tabs thing. The officer asked how long i'd lived in WA and i told him two years. he said "ya know you're suppose to get a new ID within 90 days." I replied with "That's what the officer told me last week when i got pulled over." He kind of laughed and said " replace those tabs and we'll stop pulling you over" and that was it. No ticket. just for the record. Everything is current in my car now and I have a WA license.

Ugh.

not that this means anything, but i was watching the streaming coverage and they said that one guy was lifted out and the other had an injured wrist and was continuing down with the rangers.

he's right. i tried another one of the ropes ad got the 20% off. BUT, i just bought that edelweiss, so unless somebody sees a more compelling reason to send it back...

What Gear tab?

Check out Gear Express for a 10.3 Edelweiss Axis 60m Everydry rope. No tax or shipping. i bought one on Monday. The link

Took this while trying to find an internet cafe in Matsumoto, Japan in March 2004

Yeah, If you climb up to the crux and find that you're out of position or you need to switch your hands, just DYNO dude! Whatever you do, don't downclimb and reposition yourself. That's a sign of FEAR!!! Thanks, Pax. I was trying to hold my back at dis foo. d00d. You connected Pax to AlpinFox. A year ago that would've gotten you sent to AlpinPrison.

I ended up buying the Edelweiss 10.3 Axis Dry 60m for $114.95 at gearexpress.com

This has nothing to do with the thread, but I was in NJ (Princeton) all last week on business and I've never been a place so ass backwards. 55 mph speed limits on the freeway and you can only buy beer at a liquor store. Everytime I leave the PNW I am quickly reminded how rad we have it here. I feel sorry for everyone else when I fly into their flat, disgusting, suburban cities. The PNW

At rockfest, one of the guys told the us that if you used a dry rope out 2 or 3 days in regular rock climbing, that it'd lose its 'dry' abilites (because of the wear on the sheath). This sounds incorrect to me because i thought they treated the individual fibers, not just the outside of the rope. The reason I'm asking is because I need to buy my first rope. I need something for all around use (glacier, toproping, sport, one day trad). I was thinking about getting a 10.2 dry 60m. Is that a waste? Should I just get a thicker standard 60m and a real thin dry 50-60m?

I ended up buying the tracker. YAY!

Apparently you missed all the signs at the old location that read "We have moved. We are now located at..

Man...those are some good prices. What's the general consensus on the X1?

Not that good? Are you on crack? Gorditos rocks. I hear that taco truck on Rainier is really good. Seriously.

that was the dood from FF. He offered it to my gf first But then passed it around

I won them at the RockFest, but I JUST bought shoes and I really need a rope. I'd be happy to trade for a rope, except I wouldn't really trust one from any of you, unless it was still in the bag. This is a coupon for a free pair of any Montrail shoes you want. You just send it in and they send them to you. Now, I'm really on the fence about actually selling this thing because I won it. If any of you feel this is in bad taste, let me know. I'm sure I could use the shoes at some point in the future but I need a rope now. I'm sure somebody will appreciate the shoes more then me right now. Everybody wins and I promise to put the cash towards a rope. PROMISE make me an offer. --tim

That was me! Nice meeting you man. You sure took off out of there early. See you next time.

Went and had a great time. Got some good instruction from one of the FF guys and met Paul from Mountain Sports(?) who belayed me and vice versa. Won a pair of new Montrail rock shoes in the raffle. Met MisterE and saw Bug. Froze in the rain during the slideshow. Even the gf had fun. Will be there next year.

I hope it doesnt rain. Im trying to make a point to my gf. see ya alpin
