not a bad rule. i go with the rule that who ever is playing ropegun that day doesn't have to buy the beer. all pitches being equal, the rider bringing the beer seems reasonable.

excellent point. several of you will be receiving bills from me in the near future.

and you'll start again this evening

Eat it. If you don't like paying insurance don't have a car. When I drive I never expect or request any money from any of my partners. When I get some it is a bonus. I figure that sometimes they will drive some and I will drive some and it will even out in the long run if not in the short run. I take people out who don't have a drivers license let alone a car and the same still stands. If you don't like shouldering the burden that is your call.

This thread not digressing into a debate over ball gags....

omfd! this thread is hysterical. i had no idea people were this uptight with climbing partners. charging for insurance that you'd be paying for anyway. bills for scratched cams. fussing over a couple of biners and an attitude. dang. people need to relax. i've lost more biners than that bailing off a route. when i climb with a new partner, i'm more careful about checking for gear just b/c who knows if i'll climb with them again. when i'm climbing with people i know and see regularly, i figure that if stuff gets mixed up they'll return it next time if not sooner. i guess that's why those people are my regular partners. ryhang-good on ya for letting it go.

i find it a little disturbing that the FDA will allow the use of splenda (sucrolose) in food products but won't allow it to be used as one of the inactive ingredients for pharmaceuticals

does someone have portaledge i can borrow. if we're gonna be 5 pitches and 150' off the ground, we really might need one.

oh great! now you want me to come all the way to minnesota and you're not even going to offer me a place to stay. what a cad!

chaps--i saw you flirting with muffy earlier. now you're asking me out for a coffe. hmmph! i'm not THAT kind of girl. and i'm definitely not the kind of girl that goes to minnesota! i'm not sure i could handle 10 meters of 4th class scrambling.

i can't believe you're interested. we're not talking about belaying.

he just spent to much time on the route whining about the chalk

i'll be belaying this weekend. what's your lead belay level? maybe you can come belay with us.

didn't this poor bunny have a pancake on it's head at some point?

it looks like you need a red windshirt for via ferrata

that's a giant pussy!

Minx, you're preggers again??!! i'm in really big trouble if that's why i'm so happy today. muffy--you have been gone a while but i was going to wait to celebrate until you officially snaffled.

nope don't have it yet. just woke up excited about it.
