What species was Minazo?

Check out that cam placement. A good one to sling long, the way it flares upward. A #11 hex would be good there endwise.

I might be up for that. What time are you leaving?

It's enough to test one's faith, ain't it?

Here's a question I am sure the answer to which is likely to vary. When you are teaching someone to lead for the first time and you see them back clip, do you always have them fix their mistake on the spot, or do you tell them "don't do it next time"? The reason I ask is that it would seem that even backclipped, you are better off than if you unclipped and fell before you reclipped.

It's a new day when the Idaho Forum is as hot as it is now. Nice work boys!

Bleach. Best you can hope for is to kill the smell. You may have to live with visible spots. Good luck.

Johnny, you did a bad thing, a very bad thing!

Seven Virgins and a Mule isn't hard enough, although it's fun. There is a somewhat harder chimney at Middle East Wall that's a 5.8. (name is not coming to me right now) Add to the list Battered Sandwich at Private Idaho, Index and the Northwest Corner of NEWS.

I saw that too. And all the first posters are all encouraging him to do it.

The Tooth.

Many chemical reactions have activation energy barriers. Use of catalysis can lower the activation barrier. It's quite possible that that is what is happening here. But I can say without reservation, you can't get more energy out than you put in. This inventor is running a con game. This reminds me of Cold Fusion. Maybe the excess energy is coming from fusion?

Are you implying that we should take time out to do other activities, such as...CLIMBING! Pshaw!

Some of us are floating in space. Porter, just what have you combined with those pain pills of yours?

Jens mentioned to me how he removed the keeper strap from his REI Liberty Harness to save weight. Perhaps that is best described as false economy?

Would someone kindly translate the thread title into English?

If the climber pendulumed, he was either off route, or was top roping without the draws being left in place when they should have been. I hope you set him straight on the danger he placed you as well as himself. Did the guy fall off of Subliminal, 5.10b, to the right of Hurly Burly? That one looks like it traverses to the left.

The way you phrase some of your statements make it sound like you didn't climb it, yet you said you did, or were you referring to adjacent routes?

Great trip report. Edge-of-the-seat all the way!

Now, now. Don't get all excited. I know you meant to tell the good man that oxygen and hydrogen are not easily split from water, by electrolysis or by any other means. We know that by the laws of thermodynamics it takes as much energy to produce hydrogen from water as we get when we burn hydrogen. Hydrogen is best thought of as an energy storage medium. It's promise is derived from the potential to store more useful energy per unit weight in a car.

Colin's a busy guy with an agenda. If you want to get him on film you better be prepared to go to places like Pakistan or Patagonia and other places that start with P and rhyme with "pucker".

Most climbers like to think of themselves as something other than athletes. Athletes are people who play games. Pick Wayne or Colin, or Wayne AND Colin. You'll need two climbers anyway, unless this is about soloists. Wayne has done some of that, BTW.

Does it have separate prices, with and without mojo? I assume that for $120 you're going to be getting the mojo.
