I found a 1974 VW bus advertisement pamphlet, 6 pages of glossy pics and specs like the one below. Anyone got a clue on the colletability of such an item? I tried looking online but found little relevant info.

Did not see any claws, but the prints are wider than long so in comparison to the dogs, these seem really cat like.

A friend sent me a link, looks like you are correct. http://www.bear-tracker.com/caninevsfeline.html

Great day of some nice vertical gain. Found hand sized tracks on top of Ellinor, looks like Cougar (corrected by JBo6).

(quote=desnivel.com) Implementing a project requires clean climbing film whose big media and the route is altered, explains Roland Garibotti Argentina, a serious ethical dilemma. This is your rating: The big news in Patagonia this past season was not related to an ascent, but with the announcement of a project. Little is materialized as much publicity and that little was negative. While David Lama failed to release even a Metro New Compressor road on the spur southeast of Cerro Torre, his film crew composed of several chambers and mountain guides hired by Red Bull Austrians placed about 700 meters of fixed ropes to along the route and about 60 parabolts. The ropes were removed several months later by Argentine guides, who could not with all and had to drop a backpack full of them in the bergschrund. A minor detail compared to parabolts. The parabolts were placed in the first half of the track - between the bergschrund and cruise-where even Cesare Maestri in 1970 had drilled the rock despite its heavy load compressor. This section of the road there are many insurance options to place mobile or nails, and cracks abound everywhere. In the hundreds of repetitions that has been the way no one has had to add anything in that section. It is certainly curious that there parabolts need to add a route that already has more than 450 nails pressure. In relation to the actions of the Red Bull team presents an ethical dilemma on the retrofitting of classic and historic routes. I wonder what would happen if I visit Austria this summer and add dozens of parabolts in "Locker vom Hocker" of Gullich and Albert or in some way the famous Mathias Rebisch or Albert Precht, etcetera. And since Reinhold Messner himself helped promote this attempt to David Lama (see here ) may be appropriate which added dozens of parabolts the Middle Mall (Mittelpfeiler) in the Sasso della Croce (Heiligkreuzkopfel), in its historic path. It is curious that is it, in the 70 author of the famous article "The Murder of the Impossible" against the indiscriminate use of pressure spikes, who help promote the abuse of Red Bull and Lama. Add parabolts an existing road not only contrary to the well-known unwritten ethics of mountaineering and climbing, but is also written in the famous Tyrol Declaration on Best Practice in Mountain Sports outcome of a meeting of mountaineers, climbers , clubs and federations in Innsbruck in 2002. In Article 8, paragraph 1, reads: "This means that climbers should not increase the number of fixed insurance on a pre-existing road." This statement has recently been updated with the so-called Declaration on Ethics in the Mountain to the International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation (UIAA) issued on Dec. 11 to mark the International Mountain Day. In Article 1 (individual responsibility) stated: "... Place anchors fixed on new and old ways can not be automatically assumed to be acceptable. " In Article 4 (foreign countries): "... We must respect the local style and ethics of climbing and fixed anchors drilled or put in places where traditional ethics against them, or where there is no established ethics. " In Article 8 (style): "... We should always try to leave no trace on the wall and in the mountains. " In relation to the fixed lines worth reflecting on what the reaction would be if we neglected fixed lines for an entire summer in the "Pesce" of the Marmolada, or the "Philipp Flamm" of the Civetta, or the "American Direct" of the west of the Dru, or any other popular classical pathway of the Alps. Nobody likes climbing on fixed ropes, let alone in a way that from the eighties is done in alpine style. In 1985 the Swiss Fulvio Mariani Cerro Torre filmed in one of the best mountain films ever made, "Summit," a documentary of the rise solitary Marco Pedrini. On that occasion not only did not put any bolt, but used only three fixed ropes. Years later, in 1990, the German Werner Herzog film "Schrei aus Stein" [Cry of Stone] also on Cerro Torre, and this time there was no need to add the path parabolts Maestri. Since then, as evidenced by the behavior of Lama and the people of Red Bull, seems to have been a significant regression. Lama and Red Bull would have to explain how much impact justifies an attempt to document Ascent Lama himself saying he would be promoted in alpine style, clean, lightweight, with "fair play" and so on. By Rolando Garibotti Argentine climber, mountain guide in the U.S., is a regular and a great student of the history of climbing in Patagonia and a recognized analyst with numerous publications, for example, "Cerro Torre, its history and its ways" in No Difference 210. Among other activities, in 2005, together with Ermanno Salvaterra and Alessandro Beltrami drew "The ark of the winds" in the Cerro Torre, while in 2008 made the first crossing of the Tower along with Colin Haley. In Difference 287 (May 2010) published a chronicle of the most important event in Patagonia last season. (/quote)

Thats the late Scott Croll moving a small doll we found on the trail, and named Annie ( after the CPR mantra "annie! annie!...are you alright?") up the route. Annie was later stolen from us in Safeway parking lot. We had her mounted in the bike rack and apparently someone took offense.

A classic with a bigger classic on the other face.

All the memories that go with that chunk of stone I remember when the Princely Ambitions block took a dump, cest la vie.

Sounds like a great adventure however you get around!

LoL... or simply put, a Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeast.

Just got a SCOBY and some starter and a basic recipe. Does anyone out there have any tips or methods that they use? Just curious.

A co worker brought in a bottle and let me try it, pretty funky tasting, slightly carbonated, fruity vinegarish but slightly addictive and apparently chock full of plenty of good for your digestive system and other bodily magic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombucha Kombucha I thought she had a bottle of pink Sobe, but nope. Am I way behind on this or is this something obscure?

Mike Hoovers, Solo always gets me stoked for the hills as well the dales.

Absolutely on the money. Mine are always well behaved and under control, I expect the same from other owners or I give a some grief. The same also applies to children, although children can be eaten as a last resort.

The left side is a power problem, the right version has more balancy/technical features.

Nice vid! I always thought the left (steeper) side was easier than the right. I feel the fear of peeling off the slabby right would leave a mark so I always hated trying it. Dunno

You really are a tool mark. Condolences Steve, that story really makes me sad.

Those look like quickies.

Nice link, fun thread!

I get emails from myself all the time selling viagra, vicodin, russian babes and other items. Ahh well, at least I get mail

Thats awesome!

Ahh curious, thanks for the info!
