Atkins Diet was fat. I'm taking Scott's word for it that that was what we were climbing, because I never actually looked in the guide book. Two other climbers had been in there a couple hours before us, so their tracks obscured any earlier ones that might have been yours.

Dude, you have a vastly inflated sense of your own importance. Hardly anyone gives a shit what you think. You said hardly. That means someone does. They say that hope spring eternal.

You make some valid points. People of Valenzuela will grow tired of Chavez after he'd destroyed their economy, but they will be powerless to remove him. At least in this country we can still have free elections- well, at least until we go to paperless ballots.

His girlfriend had both of his cameras and my camera is broken. He was kicking himself for not having one. He should have taken his crampons off while he was doing that, because he tore his Goretex bibs.

Wasn't he 2 for 3? But the tackle and forced turnover were stupendous. I can't believe they have a winning record when you watch that offense and when you consider all of the injuries. Now they're without a fullback (they have no back-up). St. Louis and Frisco lost today so with any luck we'll be back in post-season play. Winning in Denver was a big deal. How badly was Strong hurt? He was an important guy because he blocked so well for Alexander.

Give it up for Josh Brown! He kicks and he tackles too!

Yesterday I was on Atkins Diet. Today I'm on a see-food diet.

Should we tell them where? Did you know they changed the forecast for Sunday and Monday for George. It's going to stay below freezing.

That's what Weekend_Climberz needs. He got a shot of ice right between the eyes today.

Too busy climbing on weekends to spray. There's ICE in them thar' hills!

B-52: 71 g Lightest device the supports belaying off the anchor with autolock mode.

What is striking is the density over Florida. Do Floridians fly so much more than the rest of us? This picture was taken in March.

Nickel-Cadmium don't hold enough charge for a beacon and don't handle cold well. Nickel-Metal-Hydride, on the other hand are rechargeables that handle cold remarkably well and last much longer. In cameras they perform better than alkaline in cold conditions.

We have room for TWO more to ride comfortably, if you want a ride to Vantage. We meet at the I-5 and 145th St NE park and ride at 6:30 am.

I took Gary Brill's Level 1 course three years ago and it was pretty good.

Clearly, they are strong enough for aid climbing, so there is one application. If you are climbing easier alpine routes where the chances of falling are minimal, but you are watching every ounce, then perhaps you would be willing to forego the extra margin of safety that a stronger nut would afford. I don't know, it seems to me that nuts are your lightest protection to begin with, and that it would be the last place I'd try to save weight. The fact that I've never seen anyone carrying these nuts tells me they can't be very popular. But you got 'em. My suggestion is to use standard nuts when the fall factor is high and save your ultralights for when you have more rope out.

I'm tellin' ya, that's what I call quality Spray.

Souless, yes, but calling it art is a stretch.

Hey, Rudy, what about ice climbing?

I'm sure he's just in the shower, jumping around, trying to get wet.

I'm sure there must be an old school trad climber around who still has his BD templates for drilling lightening holes.

I'd like to mention that the update to the BB software has greatly simplified the process of adding photos to your trip reports. Now all you have to do is to put the cursor where you want the picture and click on the camera icon. You are taken to the Photo Gallery where the most recent are displayed first. Click on the image(s) you want. Finding older images may be more hassle than it's worth. In that case use the method Scott described above, which is still valid.

A boon to boulderers. Now their beanies can do more than just make a fashion statement.
