takes mod hat off I hope he does, coz it will be fun to see him get slapped down! /puts mod hat back on...

c'mon CBS, 5,652' is 1,722.7296m, that's what the euros use, it makes sense if you look at it that way.

I'll ask next time I see Kevin, if I remember.

It's even worse the second time. Don't ask me how I know.

Not if you know how to cook it. Baba Ganoush is my fave, cook the eggplant whole on the barbie, then go from there. Mmmmmm.

Dutch - yes Swedish - maybe Norwegian - no Esperanto - no

COOL!

I could be way off base here, and definetely off topic, and I am too lazy to look it up and see if I am right... Even if you never used any spurs or whips (on horses that is) isn't there a pretty good chance that the horse had to broken when it was young, and doesn't that involve some kind of physical *abuse? *no judgment intended in choice of word

I can read that, it slowed me down a little, Muffy has us well trained. I notice she didn't use any WORDS to reply! Haha!

It's NEVER time for a snowshoe slog... snowshoes SUCK! i managed to beat serl and fishstick to nepopekum falls a few years back - me on sno-shoes, fishstick on skis and serl postholing - its all about conditions and sometimes shoes are best means for conditions And on the way back?????? Hmmm? who was first down the hill?

I would expect the market share to affect my numbers somewhat, and should have mentioned that, as I had thought of it. However... Most people I know here tend to have small Metolius and large BD, making thee racks biased about 6:5 in favour of Metolius. That's a pretty "standard" Squamish rack. By your arguement, I shouldn't see near as many aliens as I do, although the aid crew is a little harder on their gear.

Just an observation: I repair cam trigger wires in Squamish, and I have to say that the vast majority of the work I get is BD cams. I have only done one Metolius cam this whole summer. I believe the exposed design of the BD cams makes them more prone to damage. That said, my rack is pretty much what you are thinking of getting, with the addition of some CCH Aliens to double up the TCUs.

Huh? Both need two. One to block the rope, one to clip the device to an anchor. Make that three for the B-52, (two could be locking, one non) and two for the Reverso. You are supposed to use two biners to clip the B-52 to the anchor when you are using it in autoblock mode with two ropes. Not really complicated, but heavier.

werd! Cavity hoar.

This is actually one of the reasons I miss the East Coast. I oved the real storms they get there, not like the pansy assed rain showers we get here. Although I must say last night's Lightning was pretty good! FLASH! 1...2...3... BOOOM FLASH! 1...2...BOOM! fLASH! 1..BOOOMMMMM!!!!!!

Sweet, eh? I found the book in a second hand store though! The receipt was in it, note: 1 - MIT book $1. I think I paid 4 or 5 $ for it

Here's a receipt I found in a copy of the MIT Outing Club's Fundamentals of Rock Climbing I hope you can all read it. I will transpose it if you can't.

I WANT <-green with envy

It's right off the web site, cut and paste.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! Timm@y AlpineK

Gee look, Beck is right From the KONG web site:

How 'bout my sig? [cc.com] - the virtual equivalent of a knife fight in a bar full of angry dolts. "unknown ttipster"

I talked to some one, can't remember who, and they said the lower part of the ridge was not worthy. They had done it. Maybe as a winter route it is good! That is an awesome photo, thanks.

It's whats on my knees...
