I put enough wear on my shells that I decided to spend an extra four ounces and got the Microburst. And I'm quite happy with it.

Oh, and if by "respect what people are doing in the ropeless realm" you mean that we should give you mad props (yo!) for sending (sick!) boulder problems (dude!), sorry. Go pander your ego somewhere else.

Enlighten me - where did I EVER say that bouldering isn't climbing? Oh, that's right, I didn't. In response to your question, yes, running laps on 5.7 is climbing, albeit lame. Similarly, climbing snow covered 5.7 in a storm is also climbing, albeit not lame. Only beef I have with bouldering is idiots who chase numbers, then belittle other peoples' accomplishments for having lower numbers. Your argument of comparing sport climbing numbers to alpine climbing numbers is a cliche by now, as well as being severely flawed, boulder-boy.

Werd.

Bouldering if fun when you temporarily can't do some real climbing.

It requires the consent of two doctors (not in the same practice, I believe??) and a confirmation of mental stability. There are safeguards. It's not like some doctor can right up a note, kill you, then claim you wanted to die. Also, it is only available for those patients who have been diagnosed with less than 6 months to live. There isn't any medical reason not to allow it, it's just bushie (and asscroft's) pandering to the religous right and their "sanctity of life" bullshit. Don't be stupid, it's not about 'medical reasons', it's about moral reasons. "Gee, Mom's getting kinda old. Taking care of her is a bother. I know! Let's just kill her off!" Or how about crazy doctors? There have been plenty of examples of nurses killing people off for no reason. This would make it easier. It's not black and white, as I said, I support the idea.

Isn't the X1 at the lower end of performance? I'd spend the cash for a high-end unit.

I've done 1500 feet per hour with a 30 pound pack, and I'm pretty weak.

Josh, I think it's more of an issue of potential abuse, not 'suffer to the end'. I agree that in an ideal situation (person wants to end it all), assisted suicide is a good option. But the potential for abuse if pretty big.

Yeah, I'll admit that the golite colors are lame.

I just ordered one of the golites. It'll make a good replacement for my Coal. And I'm pretty sure it'll be warmer than Justin's POS.

Bedtime. Where's Hueco again? Isn't it near Florida? Pebble wrestling is a good rainy-day afternoon activity when you've paid your mountain dues the day before.

Maybe this should be in Spray..... But hey! it's about climbing, right?

wt! OMG! Hey J, let's go bouldering!! Where do all the chicas hang out?

SCROLLING ASSUALT, BOULDERING ASSHATS!!!!!

Luke, that pic is fuck'n blurry. ]

Careful there, Mr. "Buck Nekkid". haha haha thats hilerous, got me there, oh wait who got a free rope and i'm legal Consider getting a job like the big boyz and maybe you'd have the cash to buy your own rope! Or maybe even some SKIS!

You get extra points if you do the derivation, biatch! Oh, and BTW, chew on this: Bwahahahahaha!

Yeah, but he doesn't stop as soon as his feet hit the ground! Gotta measure from center of mass to center of mass; I was assuming that he ends up lying on the ground, CM effectively at 0. And his CM is very close to the top of the boulder in the pic!

Yo Justin, you're smoking crack. Check this shit out: a(t) = -32.2 m/s^2 v(t) = -32.2t + v0 x(t) = -16.1(t^2) + v0t + x0 v0 = 0 , x0 = 22.5ft, defining x to be the vertical axis and '0' to be at the ground level. So. -22.5=-16.1(t^2) t=1.18216560936s Substituting t into the equasion for v, we get v(1.18216560936) = -32.2(1.18216560936) = -38.0657326214 ft/s or 25.9539 mi/hr, if you prefer such arcane units.

Bulky and annoying? Not to mention weaker.

I thought that was mandatory for climbing .14's? Hmmm....I'll go ask RuMR.

WTF?
