I'll bet you wish you'd gotten your hands on the game when you had a chance. It's going to be an incredibly valuable collectors item. Or at least you'd be totally popular at parties.

I'd be interested in checking it out with you all.

Pub Club took place on the outside patio of the Ballroom. The waitress was pretty and kept us from running out of beer. The event was attended by klenke, dkemp, mattp, AlpineK, Gary_Yngve, Dave_Shuldt, Toast and myself. Others may have showed but I left at about 9:30 pm.

As Yogi might say, let's reiterate one more time. The Ballroom is the place.

Hey, 6 times worked for Marek! Nice work, Mike.

In this case, we put a double shoulder length 1" sling around the second block and then linked the slings (old plus new) on the first block with another shoulder length 6/16" runner, doubled. The base of the first block was rooted in such a way that it would have had to tip over (as opposed to slide) before it would go. Not sure I can make sense without a picture.

That's really old! And you are so cold!

Anything as important as a snafflehound should be uploaded to the cc.com gallery.

That's the swing producing 17%. Hard to fuck 'em until we get Iraq online. They are a paranoid repressive theocracy, but they've been or freind in need and can ease our oil addiction better than anyone. As for Pakistan,I believe W did just say fuck you to them. I'll bet that get's Pakistan's attention!

do you use a flat file to sharpen these? I didn't think I could sharpen them??? Yes, I use the same file I use on my steel crampons. I sharpened mine for the first time last night, and it took longer than I expected to do it right. I think the alloys they use these days are pretty damn hard!

My favorite: "But what our scientist does not realize is that every time he makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage." That happens to me all the time!

Damn, Curt, you are so clever. Okay, my joke, but I never said it's a good one. Question: What has an older woman got between her breasts that a younger woman does not? Answer: A navel.

Come on Snugtop, pretty please?

I know a guy, named Dave, who jumps off the top of the bridge on the way back to the cars every time he visits the Far Side. It's like a ritual for him. He showed me that there is a mark on the rail, above the place where the water is deepest.

I'm sure that the store where you bought the crampons would gladly help you gratis.

You are so right.

I've thought about how to back up a block. We rapped from a block on Mixup that I wasn't 100% confident in. There was another block above it that could back up the first, but then I was thinking that if the first goes, the second has to be able to hold the weight of the first plus my weight. The original block was about 500-1000 lbs. We ended up by transferring some of the load to the second block. Finally, you have to say at some point, "good enough", and take your chances.

I've got a boob joke I so want to tell, but I just know minx will be all over my case and archenemy will call me a sexist again.

The last time this came around the democrats killed it in congress for the very same reasons given in the article. But they lost their majority in the Senate and they got Bush. It's just a way for Bush to pay back farmers in the Red States for reelecting him. There is research going on to use biotechnology to make biofuel production more energy efficient, but it appears to be a long ways from being a means to reduce oil importation.

I'm guessing you meant On route at 10:30AM, otherwise that would be one long 1,500' climb! Apparently this was too obscene the first-go-round, as the moderators deleted it. This is obviously an error in the TR, and I'm not making fun of it so get over yourself moderators. Okay, aready I fixed my mistake. I never saw whatever smart alecky comment you may have made. Yep, that's the one, except that you were standing on at least ten feet of snow, most of which is gone now. No ladybugs, just butterflies. There wasn't much cornice left. Thankfully, no goats around to kick rocks, either, although we followed goat tracks on the traverse.
