Yep, I'm straight edge, I don't drink either! =

dirtbags = no job = can't pay rent (they are also stinky )

My roommate and I (both climbers) have a room available for rent in our house on Green Lake. It's a large house, ½ block from the lake on the north side. The room is quite large (its 2 rooms actually, a living room and attached bedroom) with private bath. There is plenty of parking in our driveway too. A few people on this site can vouch for the awesome-ness of our house. Rent is $650/month plus split utility, electric, gas bills (3 ways). We are looking for a non-smoker , non-drug user (sorry, no pot heads ), clean (sorry, no dirt bags ) male or female roommate. Prefer someone younger(ish) 20's to mid 30's (we're both mid-20s). Political affiliation not important . PM me for details if interested. I could post/send some digital pics. By the way - I didn't know where to post this so I thought the climbing partners forum would be most appropriate. Looking for a 'live-in' climbing partner I guess...

I agree with RobBob and others for the most part. Spray is spray and I don't think it needs to be moderated much. If someone gets their feelings hurt in spray, tough shit. I never get offended by spray (expect when y'all bash my Bush) If you're thin-skinned, best stick to the other forums. I do think some of the non-spray threads degenerate in the spray to quickly and I wouldn't complain about more moderation in the non-spray forums. I'm talking about the stupid senseless shit that ruins good non-spray threads. By the way - most of my climbing friends don't post or even lurk on cc.com. I'm not making that up. Guess they just don't feel the need or desire (or have the time).

Any one who has followed cc.com for a week or more knows the answer to this question. No, there is nothing better to talk about. All the important and interesting topics have been covered. How else are ya going to waste time at work?

This post said something different for about 5 minutes this morning before a moderator (or Trask) changed it. I think anyone else would have been banned for what was posted previously. trask=gappertimmy? The dark side? you mean when I said that marylou was an attention whore cunt? I decided that was a bit harsh. Actually marylou is pretty okay if she keeps her holier than thou attitude in check. yeah, that was what I was referring to.

Ah, that just reminded me of my "brush with greatness", I lived down the block from the kid who was the star of that movie (Lord of the Flies). (wrong thread I know but if you are bored enough to be following this thread, I'm sure you're following the other one too)

Just as long at the boys aren't being girls and the girls aren't being boys!

I should have read further, there was a link: push me

anyone hear about this or have any info? Found this thread on telemarktips about it: push

I lived in Texas when W was the governor! That was a special time...

Another idea is to hold the cup firmly and then swing/whip it real hard and maybe the momentum of the canister will dislodge it. (hard to explain but kind of like when your ketchup bottle is almost empty and you give it a good whip to send it all down to the neck). Better to try this outside and better if the canister is full. Hold on tight and whip it hard (with the canister facing away from you obviously).

I think the epoxy idea is a good idea. That stuff is way strong. just epoxy on a nice handle onto the canister so you can get the leverage you need, then pull those suckers apart. You also might try sliding/forcing something down the side like a thin nail file, thin metal scale/ruler, slim jim, etc and try to pry them apart (although it is likely you'll just bend your tool). If all else fails just return it to REI....

Newstips - I think this would make a good story. Sure there are other more important issues to climbers, but those issues are probably not as interesting to the general public. It seems to me that any story focusing on any aspect of Mt. Rainier get the attention of the viewers, because it is such an icon of the state.

Please post TR when done and tell us of the conditions you found. Thanks.

To easy, I'll leave it for someone else.... Thanks for the info. I just got a new AT setup and I'm planning to try it out on the lifts this weekend.

I was going to post this question under the other current Freerides thread, but I decided to just create a new thread in case someone does a search for Diamirs at some point in the future. I just bought the Diamirs and mounted them on new Shuksans (last years model). Then I also decided I wanted ski brakes as opposed to ski straps, so I bought the Fritschi brakes and threw them on. Buying the Diamirs and brakes separately costs more than the Freerides (which comes with brakes). I used my digital scale and weighed all the components separately and my Diamirs with brakes only weigh 3.7 ozs less than the advertised weight for the Freerides (BD advertised weights on the Diamirs and brakes have been dead on, by the way). The Freerides also come with shims, which accounts for some if not all of this extra 3+ ozs. So where is the weight savings of the Diamir over the Freeride (speaking of the binding only and not considering brakes)? What is the advantage of the Diamirs??? Why would you buy the Diamirs if you plan on using ski brakes, at least some of the time? Freerides also have a higher DIN capability so it seems to me that you should just buy the Freerides and when you are worried about weight, swap out the brakes for straps (cheap). And I hear the Freerides are beefier/burlier than the Diamirs! What gives?? Any one have any thoughts or explanations for this? It is too late for me, but if I had it to do over again I think I would just buy the Freerides. (I know the Freerides don't come with a return spring which cost $10 and the Diamirs do).

Shit, are you saying once you get married you stop looking at cute chicks??? Yikes!!! But I certainly understand you not getting many smiles, although I'm sure you get plenty of screams... I live nearby so parking is not a problem, but that would be a problem for others. True it is crowded, but you must have people to have cute chicks to see! Flat?? Why in the hell do you think I run there, going uphill is too hard. And I'd hardly call it boring. There are so many freaks that hang around there I always have a laugh to myself. Anyways, to each his own. Have fun, and eyes off my ladies!!

How have I not followed up on my comments? I said I wouldn't help out right now and I didn't!! Maybe you need to get some other hobbies so you have something to do in the winter when you can't rock climb. Why don't you try skiing??!! Then you'll have a way to spend your free time instead of getting pissed that so few care about your cause right now, because right now it affects so few people. If you're so disappointed with this board then go the f*&k away. Go be hardcore someplace else, cause most of us that post here aren't hardcore. And you obviously do have a tolerance for bullshit because you keep posting... And you nailed it, I am proud to admit I'm a wanker, but you are getting Lucky and I confused. He is in the Exit 38 guide, I'm just a wanker who occasionally climbs at Exit 38, IN THE SUMMER!! Are you dense or what? You really do blow my F*&^ing mind. You keep bashing Lucky and then ask for his help. You're a strange dude. Anyways, thanks to all who spent their Saturday doing this and good luck.

I stay motivated by running where there are hot women to look at, like Green Lake in the summer. In the winter I like to go run when it is cold and clear in just shorts and a tee shirt (no gloves, no hat). I get really cold and it makes me want to run faster so I can get done and go back inside (but I guess that ends up feeling like a chore). That is motivation for once you start running but as far as getting motivated to leave the house ... well lets just say I haven't ran lately. And music is big for me, I can't run without my MP3 player.

When are you going up Toast?

Yes, I would get involved if it happened to me. But the point is that it won't happen to me. I don't leave shit in the car to get stolen any time I go into the woods. That has happened to too many friends and I don't have to learn the hard way. If people stopped leaving stuff to get stolen it wouldn't happen. This is actually a simple concept that you just can't seem to grasp. Take away the food and the animals will look elsewhere.... duh. But I respect the fact that people want to dedicate their time to this, that is great. You might have more luck waiting until June when it actually affects more people. I mean who the hell goes to Exit 38 this time of year??? And I fail to see where I have been unclear in my posts so as far as having a "poor command of the English language", I'd say its no worse than yours. Maybe one of your problems is your piss poor attitude. Talking smack is not the way to get people involved, you dipshit. Good luck.

Well, thanks for sharing.

What? Why does that make you mad? I'm not stupid enough to leave my wallet in my car and that upsets you?
