There is an explanation- Dark Matter. There is a new theory about supermassive high energy particles that exist in another dimension and only communicate with our plane by the force of gravity. Their distribution is non-uniform, that is, like visible matter, they cluster. So it is clear that some crags have higher densities of dark matter associated with them. In fact, these particles know your name. Some pull with greater force on Distel, while others pull more intensely on erik.

Mom doesn't want to have to hoist all the kiddies up 17 " and strain her back.

A new verb: "watchdogging".

When I am building anchors using passive pro, I commonly set pieces in opposition to one another to ensure they don't pull out if the load comes from the wrong direction. Would it ever make sense to do this with SLCDs in an all-SLCD anchor?

Did it ever occur to you that they go willingly to the slaughter. Where else did the story of Odyssius and the Lotus Eaters come from?

It never fails.

This would be a cool topic for another thread, contrasting the situation in post WWII Germany with present day Iraq.

I am saved. We got the machine to make one pot of coffee. I was first in line.

I could see how the need for weed could limit your options. Singapore, for example, might be a poor choice.

There's a saying, trask. Be careful what you wish for...

Take another sip of hot java, why don't you? I know it is sitting there next to your keyboard steaming away.

I called Leavenworth Ranger Station and found there has been no change in policy with regard to winter camping. You can camp for free. Bring your own toilet paper. Haul out your own garbage. The gate is closed at Eightmile, but the other gates will be left open and you can drive in until the snows stop you.

you pass on that second cup of coffee before going out the door and you get to work only to find the coffee machine is broken! I need coffeee I am so sleepy

There is a really nice long low angle jam crack at Upper Mountaineer Dome in Icicle Canyon, called The Left Crack that is good to practice on. You can lieback the thing, but you want to avoid that and force yourself to jam it the entire way, if you want to get practice. I believe it is 5.6.

Trask is back, spreading his special brand of joy and happiness to all.

Does that figure of 60% really mean people who get outside or are they mostly gym rats?

They ought to extend the red zone to the other side to warn of the "fixed piece zone".

It's what you fill that bucket with that counts.

I've looked at that list many times before and I still get a chuckle. There's truth in it.

Remember to wash your hands, or hand, rather.

Let me get this straight. Under the old policy, in the winter months, although the Eightmile CG was gated, you could camp there if you were willing to walk in. So now that is forbidden?

You can tell a placement is shit from looking at it, but the converse is not always true. W.C. Fields had an expression. "The race doesn't always go to the swift, or the fight to the strong, but that's the way to bet.

Dru, considering volume of your posts, let us thank the good Lord that you have chosen the written word to communicate rather than the method used by herring.

I'm saying it is possible to blow a bomber piece under worst case scenarios like dru's hypothetical fall factor 3 fall. The other way of looking at it that sometimes a piece is less bomber than it looks.
