There was an article in the PI this morning about this. I think at first glance it's a good idea, but then they mentioned how the largest units have a tip velocity of 40 knots. That would be enough to make mince meat of any fish that happens along.

Rudy, I've been meaning to talk to you about that tie in knot you've been using. It's waaayyy sketch.

I know very few climbers who participate in trail projects. They all have other more important things to do. As a result they have very little influence on the projects that get done and how they are done. By getting involved with the Everett Mountaineers Trails group I was able to persuade them to take on the Three O'clock Rock trail last year. The entire crew of 75 spent the entire day and improved the trail from the trailhead all the way to the rock. Matt and Mark were there too. I'm going to try to get the Mountaineers to devote two crews of ten again this year.

Heavens, no. I thought that was the clincher.

That's a brilliant piece of writing. I'm sure Arnold will be swayed by your persuasive arguments.

Muffy? That is to say you think she is BOTH the best and the worst at the same time? That seems like a contradition, but maybe not.

What? No plug for Zeros? What's up with that?

I did Friday's Jinx year ago and thought the pro was bomber.....if you are experienced, I could tell that some of the gear placements were tricky it was not a beginner route. Great second pitch. So can you elucidate on "tricky"? I imagine the cracks have lots of flaring sections or irregularities so that cams have to be positioned precisely to hold?

Damn right. I like my funny hats.

Sounds like they could have done everyone (who was not on the road) a favor and given her the damn keys. They could have been gentlemen and offered to drive her to her Meth dealer.

It is that book. Just click on the link.

No one has the ability to give away his true identity so surely and quickly as that fellow.

Why is it then that some people have to crowd around a victim while others show some respect and mind their own business (unless of course they are actually aiding someone that is). Case in point the woman who injured her ankle at Stone Gardens. People were following the paramedics to go gawk at the poor woman. Clearly they weren't going to help. I was curious but I decided not to follow the crowd. I didn't want to add to the embarrassment the person must have been feeling.

I dont' think a single one of your points is true. 1) Light rail is faster than a bus, so more people would use it for longer commutes because it compares to the speed of a car. 2) Light rail is only vastly more expensive if you don't count the money spent on the roads that the buses use. You are only counting the incremental cost of more busses. 3) Light rail can handle much greater numbers of people than a bus. The idea of rail is that growth follows the line rather than the line following growth.

It beats being cold. That is a very warm hat.

Jason, these people live fake lives. They view this as a chance to experience something real. You live life fully through climbing, so it's different for you. You know what life and death is. These people only know what they see on television.

I complained to the FDA. I bought some of the drink thinking it had cocaine in it as the label suggested. I performed a laboratory analysis and found that all it had was caffeine. I felt cheated. I believe in truth in labelling. I think Coca Cola should change its name too. There isn't any cocaine in that product either.

The best routes on Bath Tub Dome are on the third tier. Best thing to do is climb bottom to top, like a multipitch, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8. Then go back and do the other third tier routes.

When in Doubt, Run It Out About the only good thing about that motto is that it rhymes.

Zero for Three is it?

That must be because you were the guy passed out under the table.

You would have been forced to leave the horsecock behind at the border anyway.

Exactly. When ever you feel it necessary to protect the move. There is no math to it. Its just feeling. You can feel all you want, but if you get it wrong and fall, you're going to get hurt. When you are just starting out, stick to routes that are well within your abilities and overprotect.

I think it's a double entendre.
