Tied off ice screws are bad news. Much weaker than shorties. Can't remember source - BD testing I think??

The more I hear about the Wasatch, the less I want to go there...

Ahh yes, ID vs OD. Oops. fern is right of course.

Stephen, I don't know what Pebax is exactly, but try talking to a good whitewater kayak shop, they usually know someone who can do plastic welding.

Actually I think the tips are slightly larger so that the rest of the screw has an easier time going on the hole.

Rescues initiated through the Provincial Emergency Program (SAR) in BC are no charge to the rescuee. Rescues initiated by a private operator, ie ski patrol or Alpine Heli, would be at the discretion of the operator. We had a heli in the air last week for a couple of overdue snowboarders, at the end of an 18 hour search, they were charged $0.

ok, I'm in there now with the ladies tho... I'll come back at ten as well.

What time?

Trigger repair on Aliens is a mofo, but the triggers on Zeros look even more hellish. Haven't had to do one yet though...

It doesn't pay to be boastful... Ahh well, it's not like the snow is going anywhere, time to break out the skins. That is so suck

You try to get your cams stuck? I think they have cam stops in all but the smallest sizes. The old school pin ones.

Horne Lake... I think there are some rather large systems up near Prince George too.

Are there caves in WA?

I find that my Metolius cams seem to need a runner because of the short and stiff webbing that's on them. Aliens and Camalots seem to be OK w/o on a straight up crack.

You are so very suck. Wait, how big is your couch? Actually it has been pretty good here the last week. 50+ would be so nice though. I am jealous.

I have/like the G3 setup. I have heard of the Clipfix being fussy. Lots of discussion on this at www.telemarktips.com Or check out the rat tail system on www.wildsnow.com. Used that for years.

Dunno about that icegirl... I get the same answer with the same responses, then when I change answers, I get the (new)same answer...

That's almost exactly what I bought, except my hexes weren't wired. My cams were the red and black Metolius. I led Diedre with that, as my first multipitch. cracked - I have really big hands, and no trouble with Metolius cams. Maybe it's how you use it, not how big it is.

Rerun. I don't even remember him.

BUMP
