  1. double them lines. you got that fucker anchored bahama style? the surge will back out too. hope ya got fresh batteries and an extra bilge pump setup. cant ya get it in a slip?
  2. 'youre entering a world of pain.'
  3. mec. theyll have bunches of aces. and dorky clothes in colors like teal and purple.
  4. i wont give you shit for being from the right coast. but i will give ya some for gettin worked up over a category 2 storm.
  5. bungled. take a trip to canada. save you some $ too.
  6. Tod, where did you see that number? I can't imagine that Wild Country, Metolius and all the rest are sharing only 5% of the total cam market. to paraphrase yogi: half of what people write on this website is 90% wrong.
  7. not in canada... by a long shot.... euro cams are so much cheaper than bd. yea but its visitors to your fair country who are doing most a the hard climbing.
  8. camalots are not that much heavier than single axle cams. example: the 2.5 forged friend is about 1 ounce lighter than the red camalot. 1 ounce. a whole rack of double units might be 1/2 lb lighter with friends than with camalots. youd lose 5 times that with a fear induced shit at the base of a hard climb. other critques mean more like metolius cams let you clip 4 inches higher which can mean a lot when aiding. i dont like that camalot triggers can get twisted around the stem. there arent huge differences in usefulness. just style points on arbitrary scales.
  9. you bungle headed moron. aces arent high tops. and theyre still being made (its boreals best selling shoe. why would they stop making it?) though the color has changed.

    how bout the comments on ann coulter: Oh, look! Psychotic neo-Nazi tendencies and pretty hair! Isn't that cute? No. And think about it: it's not hard to be the belle of the conservative-pundit ball when all the other guests are Rush Limbaugh.
  11. speaking of body modification: 32. Tongue Rings. You having a tongue ring in 2003 is like us prancing around in eight-ball jackets. After four drinks you'll slur that it makes oral sex feel amazing. It doesn't!

  22. depends. no if youve been involuntarily committed (like ya took some pop shots at the president to impress your make believe girlfriend). yes if your just seeing a shrink and taking meds (that includes people hearing voices and shit). 'god bless the usa where at least i know im free.'
  23. nerve put out some fuckin funny stuff today (like coffee sprayed across the desk funny): http://nerve.com/regulars/quickies/unsexy/ examples: 'Ashton Kutcher. Okay, the backlash started already, but it still hasn't been publicly pointed out that his neck is thicker than his head. Shit like that was genetically selected against a million years ago.' 'Your cats. Attachment to a non-human mammal that doesn't give a fuck about you bespeaks emotional damage. It's the kind that transforms you from "alluringly quirky" to "certifiable."' the 'stud' short story is great too: http://nerve.com/fiction/lowenthal/stud/
  24. no shit coopah. the doctors wont do shit cept give ya some motrin. unless you have lost range of motion. that might indicate tendon detachment. then they might try surgery. the a2 pulley injury treatment from camp4.com goes like this: Second Annular Pulley Rupture. Rupture of the A2 pulley is a relatively common injury and in one study has been reported in up to 40% of professional climbers. Rupture occurs as a result of the excessive stress on the A2 pulley during a cling grip. The long and ring fingers are most commonly involved. Pulley rupture can occur acutely or develop insidiously(1). A patient who has acute pulley rupture complains of acute pain in the volar proximal phalanx region. The area is tender to palpation, and visible and palpable bowstringing of the flexor tendons is usually noted during active resisted finger flexion. The diagnosis may be difficult, and a limited magnetic resonance imaging scan or computed tomography scan may be necessary to help determine the integrity of the pulley and flexor tendons(1). Minor A2 pulley injuries or partial tears with no evidence of bowstringing can be treated with either firm circumferential taping overlying the pulley or with a ring splint, worn full-time for 2 to 3 months to permit healing. Patients should also take time off from climbing(1). The management of complete tears with tendon bowstringing is controversial. Surgical options include pulley repair or reconstruction. If there is any uncertainty regarding the diagnosis of A2 pulley rupture or the management of this type of injury, referral is recommended(1).
  25. heres my suggestion daved. buy some decent tools. two of em. and reputable tools too. climb ice. climb some more ice. i like straight shaft for multipurpose stuff. youll be digging out yer curved tool if you ever use it as an anchor overnight. i like straight picks like the bd alaska pick. i like leashes and i like em attached to the head only (none of that shaft loop bullshit). i climb vertical ice with the straight tools. then the low angle stuff seems super easy. 50 to 55cm. one hammer one adze. i use the adze in my strong hand cuz ill fukin chop a stance to place gear. fucit. its all aid anyway imo.
