That will happen if it rains, or if it is warm, or if you dig your cave in unconsolidated snow.

I think I'm being ridiculed.

I've got this mental picture of Dru belaying Mattp. Matt falls and Dru pulls his trusty slide rule out of his back pocket, "Ah, just a minute, Matt, while I do a quick calculation".

Elephant Snaffle

BLACK KNIGHT: Come 'ere! ARTHUR: What are you going to do, bleed on me?

"It's only a flesh-wound come here and fight".

BTW, what are "army circles", in the context of trask. You and the boys at the coffee shop on Saturday morning?

They should just use one of these. Everything is a trade off, trask. The tank is already so heavy it is hard to transport, uses too much fuel and collapses roads and bridges under its weight. I don't think cost was the main issue.

Indeed, trask, a powerful troll.

But it's anecdotal data CBS! Can't make valid scientific inference out of that now can we? I think you would have a better point if you also post to this thread everytime you hear of someone taking a lead fall where they were not reeled in. Also, present lead falls where the person was reeled in, but wouldn't have hit anything anyway. Then we'll have something to talk about. It was not anecdotal, since I was there. So it doesn't prove that you can always reel in a falling leader. It proves that sometimes you can.

An elderly couple had been fighting and finally agree to go to a marriage councellor. The wife speaks first, "my husband, Ralph, has three habits that have been the bane of my existence. First of all, he never washes. Then he's always picking his nose, and finally when we have sex, he never let's me be on top." The councellor asks Ralph why he does these things when he knows it irritates his wife. Ralphs says, "You see, it's my father's fault. He was always telling me, 'Son, don't get in hot water, keep your nose clean, and don't fuck up'."

I sure hope the old bitch could walk on water.

We should just create a NEW BEST WAY INTO PRUSIK FORUM.

I believe the truth is that the bank was giving out guns and that the filming of it was staged because the bank would not cooperate. It doesn't change the salient facts or the point he was trying to make. Call it lying if you will.

Now that you have the equation you can discuss how you use it. For example, if P is high, you can decrease R by decreasing T. In other words by going fast. If you are not in top shape and can't go fast then maybe you don't want to go at all.

Yes, shamelessly resurrecting a thread with nothing less than REAL data.

a wank under the aurora is pretty special too. Classic lummox.

Here's a case in point. In the 30 ft fall that dryad described in another thread, her belayer said he brought in some rope as she slid down the slab. How much rope it was, he couldn't say exactly. However, it was enough to prevent serious injury as she stopped about two feet above her belayer, who was anchored. Asked how it felt, he said it was a surprisingly "soft" catch, probably a combination of dryads light weight, the amount of rope out and fact that the slabs were not vertical, but rather 60-70 degrees or so.

That's intereresting. I haven't tried that one yet.

Butt Pirate?

Barbed for Your Pleasure at Kingpins. Dirty, loose and sandbag.

Never forget that the appearance of a man always matters more than his substance to the voters. They will always elect a good-looking villain before an ugly or wooden statesman.

You are such a cad.

Uh, yes. The idea was to highlight the most amusing portion of the article. It's a common practice.

RobBob, of course he's self-promoting. That's the movie business. No one will last long if they are not good at that.
