I tried that route this winter and I ended up with a very wet down bag.

I used Paint, actually.

s kicked Beck's ass as a kid. No wonder he's a loser.

Yeah, that seems to work pretty well for me, too.

Beck, your first post was on glacier glasses, your fifth was on WHITEHORSE CONDITIONS (sic). No pub clubs anywhere. Sorry to deflate your downtrodden ego and all.

Kinda like misunderestimated? We need to edumacate our people. Make the pie higher!

Yes, and that must be why you see so many Betamids pitched at the South Col on Everest. Any tent is wind stable, if you put enough work into building the campsite: Might as well build a freakin' snowcave and get it over with. Silly climbers.

You sound sarcastic. My Betalight and my 20 degree down bag will take me ANYWHERE!!

Pope, you're a moron. Not that we didn't know that already, but still.

Who says I'm Christian? Besides, killing him now will send him to Hell faster.

The idea, with an ideal justice system, is that for a truly heinous crime, the culprit should be punished in the most severe manner available. To me, being put to death would be quite a punishment. So, you could argue that for certain crimes, the perpetrator should be put to death. Abortion is the killing of an unborn child (in some cases at least, gotta define 'child'). The child is innocent. The innocent should not be punished, so the innocent should not be killed, so the baby should not be killed, so the mother shouldn't be allowed to have an abortion. So here we go: death penalty is justifiable, abortion is not. Note that I'm just playing devil's advocate here, these are not necessarily my opinions.

smasher.

Break it up, girls.

Sounds good to me. Say, Bronco, how's that penitentiary treatin' you these days?

How does that affect anything? Inmates shouldn't have the same rights as the rest of us. For example, I would not support their right to own a firearm when they are in prison. But answer my question. Why doesn't everybody employ all the inmates they can?

And also, is OP the ONLY business allowed to employ prisoners? If employing prisoners is such a HUGE advantage, why doesn't everybody do it?

No, but that should be rectified by reducing the business' advantage, not by shutting down the program.

OP announces end of program.

Someone doesn't realize how much he relies on technology.

New grades.

And they're all from Seattle. I like Gary's quoting the Norwegian high school foreign policy experts.

The reason is because most people on this site are alpine climbers at heart regardless of ability. I can surely appreciate someone doing some very hard technical climbing, but we're only talking about 30 ft of rock. If you want to truely stir the emotions of people on this board you need to post about a sick multi-day and/or mutli-pitch ascent. Search back through the posts about the Hubers on Zodiac or Dean Potter in Patagonia. People were giving them lots of props. Well put. I admire the strength needed to crank out hard little routes, but it doesn't interest me much. I must admit, the 'ethical debates', backstabbing, chipping, and shit talking associated with rock climbing in particular are major turn-offs. Give me mountains any day. I guess I'm just not social.

Actually, the only reason that the 'mids would be weaker than a tent is 1. fewer guyline attachment points, and 2. the poles don't flex, the tent cannot 'give' with gusts of wind.
