Alpinism.

well heck chaps, if you're coming in all the way from Minnesota, i think i could make it just to meet you.

i just really like boobies. they make me laugh. google search will yield all types of boobies

sheesh--might be safer in the building than being evacuated

there better be a bloody good reason for that!

was he a tree hugger?

just thinking...for a .9 sport revelation? except that it's 5.death to the first bolt.

i thought princely used to be 5.8? doesn't seem as sustained as godzilla to me. or maybe it's just the days i've climbed each pitch

definitely--by all means add all the adjectives you want. there are many pitches that should be rate "5.8-myass" i've also climbed 5.wtfmademethinkicouldclimbthis and 5.yeehaw i forgot 5.gawddammit

no no no dru. that's 5.fun or even fun+ depending on

5.easy 5.fun 5.hard 5.death

maybe dave is from minnesota?

i wish i'd been on belay for my first rappel. it was scary.

a new avatar image perhaps?

there's something fundamentally wrong w/that.

aww dru--go have a mountain dew

Isn't it a bit early, Rudy? no! absolutely not.

goat, relax...you're just on therapy overload.

alright--this whole thread raises the question what is the equivalent for women. if men are pussy whipped, what are straight women?

.....the bane of my life, but yet desired to some extent. and yet men continue to claim women are the confusing gender.

i want what i want when i want it and i usually want it right now.

No doubt!! I havent even met a women who knows or understands what she wants no woman knows or understand what she wants until she knows and understands that it can change from day to day.

hey bill-- all i'm saying is that if you set an expectation live up to it. i'm sort of doubting there was a lot of disgusting sappy chatter going on every 10 min via sat phone.

seems like a reasonable solution but they had other reasons for bailing as well. you would've set the expectations in the right place then. no problem. my friend was not given any real expectation of when her SO would be back so at least she wasn't watching the calendar. she was just plain worried the most of the time. but there was no problem for him to decide how long to make his attempt b/c of that.

not arguing your point about the phone. it probably creates more hassle/expectation than it's worth. my point is that since he created the expectation, it doesn't make him pussy whipped b/c he chose to meet those expectations. and again, it sounds like a small factor in the overall decision. how worried would you be if your wife/ISO was up there and you were expecting to hear from her on X day or so and a week past that you still hadn't heard anything? OK if your wife/ISO is a climber they might understand but non-climber probably wouldn't get it. a friend who is not a climber went through this with her SO this year. she was quite good about it but worried the whole time. from talking to her, she just really couldn't understand the process and the potential variation in schedule.
