I concur, trask. Lately, ol' DFA has been a nattering nabob of negativity (name the originator of that one). In the link photo, I see Jupiter and two dots. One is the earth, and what is the other? The moon?

Attitude, you have got to be the biggest snaffle-o-phile on cc.com. You love those little critters! Do you ever post without a ?

As a manufacturer, I would not recommend anything that I had not tested. The sling manufacturer may have not tested gasoline, or perhaps he did and found that gasoline did weaken it. There is polyester used in the stitching and perhaps polyester is less resistant than nylon, but I am only speculating.

MN, thanks for that advice.

Are the stems of Aliens more flexible than the stems of Flexible Friends or (in my case) the Clog knockoffs? I think that Aliens uses 7x7 wire, whereas, and I am not certain of this, the Clogs use 1 x 19 wire, which is stiffer.

Here's a newbie question. What are the circumstances under which an Alien or a Metolius TCU would work and something like a Flexible Friend, or a Camalot would not?

Blood makes the rock all slippery and hard to climb.

I forgot to tell you trask, I got one, if only for 4 weeks, but the pay is swell. Then it's back to climbing. Got a nifty (permanent) job lead I'm working on, though.

Who has time for that shit when there is so much climbing to do?

Erik is saying that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

Once he discovers girls, he'll discover the value of a job. The first job I had was in a sandwich shop. I absolutely hated it. I wanted to be outdoors, so I quit after only two weeks and took a job cutting brush for more money. It was much harder work, but it was outside and I was much happier.

FenceSitterDude, I thought you were sicker than a dog. You must be feeling better.

Fifth time is a charm. Great effort for an old guy of 54 years. Wickwire, age 62 and Bass, 73, didn't make it. Too bad.

So sayeth Robbie the NRA robot, regurgitating standard rhetoric about freedom, security, second amendment, blah, blah, blah... Trask, I'll bet you have one of those bumper stickers that says, "the day they take my gun away, they'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers"?

A friend and I are looking to do Triple Couloirs on Dragontail this weekend, either Sat-Sun, or Sun-Mon. We'd like to take one or two more along. PM me if you are interested.

If you place a tri-cam that is too small for the crack and you fall on it, it can wedge in hard. The solution is to use the right size or don't fall. The reasons why people would prefer to bail on a tricam are two: they are cheaper than SLCD's and they don't walk the way SLCD sometimes do.

I've been experimenting with a continuously adjustable personal anchor known as a Purcell Prussik. I made out of a 6 mm perlon. I would bet it is a lot stronger than the Metolius Easy Daisy.

Funny you should mention Milosh. I was just thinking about him. I sent him a PM. This is his sort of thread.

Farm animals? Like big wooly ones that go baaaaahh!

Erik, you've hit the nail on the head. Trask is a user: of drugs, alcohol, of people (esp. women) , of conspicuous consumption. What else? Which is all why to trask the ultimate put down is to call someone a "tool".

The Mounties DO teach that, but do the newbies listen? Nooooo! The dumb ones have to learn the hard way.

There's the rub. It said "same bed". There is room for interpretation. In your mind tent meant the same thing.

That list is the list for cumulative posts. It would be interesting to have a figure for the most posts in the last week. It would be a list that would change all the time and be more interesting. It could be thought of as a spraying velocity.

What makes you think its rigged. All of you guys are at or below normal in gayness. If you had bothered to read what it said, everybody has some degree of gayness. I've forgotten what the average was but I think it was 39% for men.

Good thing she is a crappy shot. She missed him by mere inches.
