  1. Controlling rangers Dean, who normally rules: for this one
  2. Sometime before you were born, things were different. Finding climbing partners is difficult. Not many people climbed. Some who did were just plain bad at it. Organised groups were formed to address some of these issues. It still works for many. What's your problem anyway?? ! Lighten up some will ya? How about posting some pics of your climbs by way of discussing something interesting?
  3. ps: don't know what 4" hole you brought up, I got my own 4" to worry about.
  4. Hola Kev! I sense the feeling that you are getting sucked into the black hole called the internet. Plan on your grades going down as you spend more time typing and staring at a monitor than climbing and the callous' moving on the fingertips to accomodating the keypad. Just ask Dru, who walked away from an illustrious career at 29,999 posts to become G-spotter and start again. Besides that, these folks generally just don't like people talking common sense to them anyway. I can't say why, but look around and you'll see it's true. I expect flames to soon head your way (things like STFU and all that) but I thought that was a spectacular post. Bravo dude. Warm Regards Kev. Bill PS, I heard Nolse has one of those Nasa ulta-drill that they took on a moon landing or the set of that Bruce Willis movie where that meteor was going to flatten earth, it screams so fast that it won't crater anything. Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not accusing him of drilling your 10 foot high 5.8 problem. I hear the concrete at his house looks like Swiss Cheese now.
  5. Ist time I heard "edging skills or hospital bills" was from some dude who had a new pair of Volants and was just plain kicking ass, skiing the Palmer Glacier years ago.
  6. G-spotter, you working overtime today? It's 5:30, go home.
  7. I think you were nicer when you were Ireneo Fuenos Dan
  8. *Cough* German Shepards* *Cough* ..... *Cough* German Shepards* *Cough* Kidding!
  9. We'll send it to ya after it's tested. Hows that?
  10. Do we consider Canada as part of the PNW? Cause if we do, then it might be as good as Califonia.
  11. Thanks for the report JH. I've been using the skinny Mammuts now as well. I'll contribute some slings if you ever do it again. I have some sewn bluewater runners that date to 1991, wonder what they are testing to these days.
  12. You are a Knottygirl. I'm afraid to ask what they need to power. Sounds like quite weekend though.
  13. nice call fox
  14. Speed trap solution http://www.speedtrap.org/ Brainstorming the other day, my son and I came up with a solution for speed traps. Step #1) Borrow someones car: somebody you don't like or who you want to play a joke on preverably. 2) Everybody in the car, and this is a car load full of people, has clown masks and/or makeup. 3) Find remote photo radar unit, drive by once sans-makeup, to confirm it's unmanned and on autopilot. 4) Drive around the block, put on the clown attire and get dressed up for the speed run. Speed through the trap. 5) Repeat 30-40 times and call it a day. Variations of this can be limited only by your imagination. An erasable white board so you can communicate different messages to the camera might be interesting too. It also might be adviseable to have walkie talkies for communications with some ground spotters in case the real police happen to be driving by and see a car load full of clowns (Hey, what at you Clowns up to?"). @ 2 weeks later, your victim gets a mailbox full of speeding tickets with pictures of a car full of clowns in various poses and different messages. So, lets hear your ideas for speed traps or things the clowns can do. Please move this to the pirates or clowns forum if needed. Edited to change title from Speedtrap solutions to "things clowns do for fun", thanks fheimerd!
  15. Vanishing Point. Seen it. Unimpressed. Pointless stupididy. Think an uninteresting version of Thelma and Louise except that the ending involved some nit ramming his car full-tilt into a D9 Cat blade at near supersonic speed to evade police capture instead of trying to jump something which resembles the Grand Canyon. end of movie. Good-by, good riddance. If Gena Davis or some hot equivalent had been in it she could have saved the movie, but alas.

  17. That's a relief. You might consider relocating to a safer part of the jungle. The only other solution is to quickly and quietly take them out immediatly after reciept of the next documented threat. Self defense, end of story. Good luck.

    Wheres Iain?

    I think it's OK to say you don't know. Unless they are taking away points on this site for that kind of thing?

  20. cj100, you used the wrong Avatar. _________________________________________________________ Why not run Hood. Great idea. I think your knees may be trashed when you get down though.

    If I don't say something soon all my favorite authors will already be noted.
  22. Likewise Will, stop by anytime.
  23. Yeah, and how do you explain the ice axes they use for door handles Mr Smartypants?
  24. No idea. Seems like it's been about 5 years now. I don't know who's putting them in either. I saw a poster named Motomajik on the other thread say his friends put in a couple of bolts which lasted 2 days, but I don't think I know him or his friends. I still meet strangers out there who say they've been climbing there for like 15 years and I've never even layed eyes on them. The place is stange that way. Guess I need to get out more. What do you say to Corvallis BTW?
