That's better. Keep it comin'.

I've never really used gloves for much either. If I did get a pair I'd make sure they were ribbed for increased sensitivity, or maybe lambskin...

But don't you think the results are kinda skewed since you won't get to think or even live if they're incompetent? Not to bust on SAR after the time and effort they put in, but the SAR guys I have met have been pretty bad, both in respect to knowledge and physical conditioning. I'm sure there are many exceptions to this statement, though, and I hope they're around if I need them. From the Captain's poll it looks like we should all just bow to Erden.

Jesus was BLACK dude.

Hey, isn't this the first time you two have posted back to back without fighting over liberal/conservative politics? Trask: you are reformed and gentlemanly (but not manly), still I prefer your old ways. Iain: I like the "Am I Ninja Or Not" photos. Uhhh, I got deja vu while I was posting that. That's fucked up, this isn't even reality! It's bad when a web site enters your dreams.

Fo realz naw. My boy showed me this. Check it: www.templeofblackjesus.com

Banning avatars sucks. The tasteless can be ignored. Hell, nobody banned trask when he posted tasteless shit for months on end. Bring back deadguy, Donkey Punch, and Choco Trombone, they were all comical in my opinion, and no worse than trask was in the beginning.

Fine quote GW. The numbers that sit on their ass and watch a handful of climbers are on the rise in many places though. (and some are totin' guns I see )

Nice. Check out my homepage. www.realultimatepower.net

(As always)it's a tie for me between my first climbing trip ever and the next climbing trip I'm about to take. First: Springtime multi-pitches at Castle Rock, sleeping in the parking lot because the campsites were covered in snow, drinking beer under the stars (just about the time I turned 21), skipping class and listening to a bluegrass cover of "Gin & Juice" in my buddy's Subaru. Next: Going on a mission to Red Rocks, then after mission is complete, going on a bender in Joshua Tree for a week. Another good topic from Dru. He's having a consistent season here in Magic Pretend Climbing Land.

I'd like to hit up the Tooth from the chairlift in spring. I think it'd be nice to climb something easy and then take a sweet run through the backcountry down to the car. Anybody done it like that before?

Yup, it's the Argo from Starblazers. In my opinion it's WWII era battleship design makes it the most badass spaceship out there. I think it had a giant cannon that shot through the hole in the bow and anihilated everything. sicksweet.

I recently bought a new pair of Rossignol bindings for a year old Burton Floater. Last year I had to scrounge up a pair of special base plates to fit the three-hole Burton pattern so I could use my old bindings. Unfortunately the special plates don't fit my new bindings at all and I have yet to find a shop that carries plates that will work. Does anyone know where to get baseplates made to fit the Burton three-hole pattern boards? Short of drilling my Rossi's (and they aren't the best design to hold up to that) I'm stuck. Fuckin' Burton

N-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-CE!! Food Sex and pictures of blood and marmots: what are things that help cure a tuff hangover

Your mom's nice, I didn't know she called you "slickrick" too.

I had a friend who got into a fist fight with a bunch of high schoolers while walking through the Jack in the Box drive-thru in Ellensburg. The cops made him watch the video of him getting his ass kicked and running away so the punks could be identified. That would suck to watch yourself get pounded. At least it wasn't on the internet. I bet you could stage all kinds of things with those WSDOT cameras, if you had the right equipment and a willing partner...

"The ironic thing....I have never posted spray. Alex's lame ass complaint about it though ironically has only encouraged me to ironically make this one my first. Ironic. Hmmm..." A little too ironic doncha think?

jesus! You have a lot of those things. Is that one wearing a pointy catholic hat? Just heard those priests are now taking credit for having sex with young girls too, as if it makes them sound less perverted... You should send that photo to Climbers for Christ Scott.

Scott, is there a photo of someone praying to their ice axe in the second photo from the right in your logo? A little bit dramatic doncha think?

There are all kinds of paranoid people out there, but none of them ever predict any of the big things that actually happen, they just go on about a lot of stuff that turns out to be meaningless. Paranoia is a waste of time, when something gets ya you won't see it coming anyway. Being well informed and concerned is good, but being scared of shadows is a waste of time and energy. Hey OW who's quote is on your autosig, or is it yours?

They'd probably be completely FUGKED up. Plus it would probably be a long hike down those shitty scree slopes to find them. Hey Hippy Sticks: how big of a pillar was it? I'm not familiar with "Positive Vibrations". Is it the name of the climb?

I haven't seen the plastic cracks at Stone Gardens, but the ones at VW really suck. I don't know if it's the texture, shape or what, but I don't find them fun and I doubt skills on plastic cracks would translate to the real stuff very well. The UW wall is definitely the place for near real crack skills. I think a gym would be good for developing a nice pump on a regular basis though. pager topper

There was a fat man from Bawstin. He drove around town in an Austin. He squeezed his head and his arse inside but his balls fell out an he lostem.

Head down to the UW wall (one of the best simulations of granite climbing to be found). I hear there's a guy down there who is an expert at conditioning for climbing, and he shares his knowledge freely with all who will listen. RED FUGKING TOWER!!
