The bloody pics make the TR better. Next time I expect some broken bones!

My analysis was better.

I've used their gaitors and I've got their Basic Bivy. Both are nice, durable, funtional. Their handwear doesn't fit me. The bivy is way better than Bibler's Big Wall, more tapered, plus the floor isn't as sticky as the bibler, it's easier to get inside. I'd redesign the head opening, but for the rest it works pretty well.

Four finals next week. I hate school. I gotta ask, why on earth are you taking so much? Are you trying to graduate after one quarter?

I've heard of too many bad experiences with canister stoves in the cold; I bought a whisperlite. I like knowing that my stove will work no matter what.

No. You know what's retared? getting on people case for making a speculation (conclussion based on incomplete evidince for the purpose of discussion), then not giving any counterexample or counter argument. Thats retared. If you've got something constructive to say, I'm all ears. Layton's right. I've never had the fit of a shoe change after resoling. I don't know the details of shoe resoling, but a good cobbler won't change the fit.

well it sort of works either way, Gir and I have much in commen Continuously smacking your ass???

It's hard to place a screw with frozen hands, especially when you're dangling free, six feet from the nearest ice.

I thikn u shuold make a spel lkie wrlwind constet. that weould be kewl.

I think the best indicator of the fact that it's trad is that the climber is wearing a helmet.

VERY nice vid, Sam. Now I'm going to be jealous for the next three weeks until I can get some skiing in up here. F'in finals! -Paul

Ever used an ice tool? Or placed a cam? Or climbed a mountain? No? I'd say being able to boulder V8 but not climb a 5.10 crack is pathetic. I'm not into bouldering or pulling plastic anymore, but I respect the enthusiam of those who do. To each his own. Rock on, Distel.

Distel's a nice guy, even if we don't all share his bouldering obsession. STFU, Scott.

If loggers quit cutting down trees and creating ugly clearcuts then they wouldn't need big ugly polluting trucks.

I lived in OR for nearly 16 years. I moved to Seattle last year. There's no comparison. OR sucks compared to washington. Most stuff is within reasonable driving distance.

The annoying thing is that in ALL of the Sherlock Holmes stories, NOWHERE does he say this. Either "elementary" OR "my dear Watson", NEVER the two together. Now that was have the crucial bit of history cleared up, carry on.

Porn Star? I'm disappointed, I thought that was Scott in drag.

Beating a dead horse.

No ya putz. the video started out TRAD and it really wasn't trad. I don't care two shits, but it aint trad. It is sport climbing. What is the difference? Dis moi. Merde. Ummm, Scott? Crack climbing is Trad climbing, remember? Sport climbers: A. Clip Bolts B. Climb Faces and Aretes Trad Climbers: A. Climb cracks B. Clip Natural protection. End of basic climbing lesson. Nice lesson grandpa. But tell me, what is the difference between climbing sport and climbing 'trad' when all the gear is bomber and pre-placed? huh? would you call the bolted crack climbs in skaha trad? of course not. what is the difference then? According to Pope and Dwayner, it's trad if it doesn't hurt the rock. This guy is falling onto nuts and cams, it doesn't hurt the rock, it's trad. Comprende, Cheif?

Check out the chalk bucket stuck to the wall! Is that magnetic?

Gee, with an argument like that, you've sure go ME convinced. Did you take your moron pill this morning, or is it PMS?
