They seem to really enjoy killing things just for the sport of it. One killed all seven of my chickens without eating any of them.

How are you going to pull a piece if your weight is on it via your feet?

Where's The Rooster? I'll bet he wouldn't have anything good to say about raccoons.

Banned, then made a brief reappearance. Not sure, but I think it was a trask avatar.

I think that was a put down.

Think about all those times you've climbed a pitch and NOT fallen. You absolutely could have climbed it with the rope. But chances are you wouldn't have. That rope doesn't do anything to get you up the pitch. It's all mental anyway.

We have an analimitator, to coin a word.

JY told me that the project had a pair of chains, but that they were stolen by someone who believes everyone should walk off trad climbs on the mesa top. Never mind that this is at odds with the wishes of the land manager. The question remains, will someone send that project on the left? It looks hard.

It's called propping up one's Base.

A lot of very good climbers pass water in this state.

Because you could get 2 days private guiding and a couple nights at Camp 4 for the same price? You can? I have no idea what anything costs.

Here you get your choice of two different strengths of coffee "2X" or "3X". If you want 1X you have to dilute.

Do you mean, a la Yngve type stuff? No.

What happened to the "Thread Killer" poll option?

The main thing is how you fit in given your experience level. If you have the bread, why not?

There are places. They exist. They just don't have the flashiness and pizazz.

Does anyone have pictures of Lower Malemute?

Did they send French Canadians?

Soon? Already. They've already chopped down many of the few remaining trees to add soccer fields. Seems like they are trying to accomodate everyone who has a big idea. Greg's post reminds me of another great one: Caught Out in a Storm

I think we've all been dissed!

Perhaps chipping was not the word I was looking for. Is there a word for using a hammer to break off sharp edges that might be used as holds?

"Not now Mom! I'm using it!"

Now that I can't go , it makes me feel better to know the weather will be crappy.

On adventure climbs people are more inclined to leave things as they are found, at least in part because of the constraints of time, but also because there are fewer "bystanders" to be concerned about. Obviously, you have to avoid trundling on your belayer. So it comes down to whether the follower feels like doing a good turn by trundling an occasional loose hold.

It helps if you are small. My daughter cruised it when she was 10. Nine times out of ten, it helps to be tall, but on G & M at Vantage, it struck me as being a distinct disadvantage.
