Did you free it all?

Bullshit. The nose makes the biner stronger. Duh.

Because they're sooooooo comfortable.

Maybe, but I can't access it from the lab.

I remember something involving a tree, a rope, and a 30 degree traverse.

Uh, who skinned the 'icy traverse'?

JavaScript is cool.

Why the hell do you sport climb then??

Actually it was all part of my approach handicap. The best part was traversing 45 degree moss over bedrock with that pack on. Man that was some CORE 'shwhacking! Being on a splitboard was more than enough of an approach handicap.

That just means that you need to practice more.

Actually, it looks like more than it was. But I'm still not sure why he brought TWO packs.

Desperately seeking new

I now have another good reason to keep my recreational activities in the mountains.

I've had pretty good customer service at FF. I like the atmosphere of the shop, and the people there are pretty friendly. Pretty typical climbers/skiers as far as I can tell. Maybe the guy was having a bad day? Or a bad moment? Besides, other than that you didn't like the personality of one of their employees, what's your complaint?

He sticks them on his pack, where they remain aloft, waving in the breeze. He's the party's lighting rod. And it wasn't really a 'climb', just Eldo. We skinned the entire thing, so the crampons, rope, harness, etc, etc, were major overkill.

But no skis???

Bring it, bitch! Good thing I didn't have my camera out when you were lookin' hella sketch!

Why, thank you for noticing!

What, you mean this: ??

Uh-huh. That's what you said before I disproved your theory about the lack of fun in slogging up and down volcanoes. We will get the infidel on skis. Yessss....we will....

Hell, she's older'n me. But not wiser!

Who the hell is Kenny Rogers?

Your dad is my copilot.
