  1. If anyone brings up Texas, or politics, just say "I done come t' this here place to talk 'bout climbin' and that's wut I've a mind t' do".
  2. Don't forget incubus, whiskeybreath, and msbehavin.
  3. No, no, it was CHiPs
  4. Whatever, ChucK. What happened to AlPine?
  5. God damn, that sounds like a blast. Where can I get some of that action!
  6. Yeah, that's where trask said he used to go.
  7. People get all weird and give threads five stars when they here (see) me swear.
  8. It doesn't matter whether you care. The media cares. Do you remember Gary Hart?
  9. That is a point that people would do well to consider. Didn't Mr. Parker break his helmet while top rope climbing? If all you plan to do is top rope climbing, it might be better to bring along your fat 11 mm rope and leave your skinny ropes at home.
  10. It is part of the "niceification" of cc.com **Shudder**

    You left out "worship the great white porcelain god".
  12. I still think your steel cable method is a cleaver way to achieve FF 4. You should be commended on that, really.
  13. The pictures made my day.

    Where you are the sphincter A sphincter is supposed to determine when excrement will pass. I have no control over that, whereas the mods do.

    Trask was the embodiment of CC.com.

    Clarity

    Ah, yes, alternative fuels, like ethanol, which consume more foreign oil to produce that if we just turned it into gasoline.
  17. MtnHigh reported that while there was good ice in the couloirs, the rime on the ridges was very poor for climbing.
  18. No shame in turning around. It's all about living to climb another day.
  19. I would agree that in June the route would be in better shape, but that if you are flying in from out of town, the weather could crap out on you. If you choose June, make it early June, not late June. You can count on the weather being bad from mid June through the first week of July. From the second week of July, you can count on the weather being good, or if it is not, its only a matter of waiting a day or two before it is.

    A great tune!
  22. There is truth in it.
  23. Moi? with msbehavin, HRoark or Harry Potter?
  24. And you probably are right.
  25. no it would have been geeky if i had computed the fall factor for 207/107 as well as 207/100 and determined which of these was appropriate measure based on definition of "length of fall/length of rope" if stretched length should count I think that fall factor is calculated before stretch, so it makes it simple enough for the average joe to figure out.
