the point of the test seemed to be to find the breaking strength of the figure eight and the bowline. instead they tested the strength of a clovehitch around a 10mm carabiner with various rope diameters (but didnt do enough to yield a standard deviation). a larger diameter anchor for the clove hitch would result in a higher tensile strength breaking point since the bight is of larger radius.

hold on. are you single muffy?

the point is: flirting with pretty girls is always fun.

i got this hotty blonde i been eying. she initiated some flirting and i just went with the flow. dinner date is in the future. that flirting always feels good.

hard aid is like lsd: you cant come down even if you want to.

what is pertinent about posting information of a poorly designed set of tests? whynt you tie the clove hitch around a larger diameter anchor? whynt you perform the tests in triplicate to get a handle on error with a standard deviation calculation?

in my experience climbing never gets easier. 5.10 still feels like 5.10 even after all these years. but i have learned to like that aspect. ive had acquantiances give up on the sport out of frustration at not getting 'better'. that is not being able to climb at a higher grade. chop wood. carry water.

you gave up playing with dolls?

hey muffy: i am offended by overly violent images depicting un-nice things being done to the undead.

october skiiing = p-tex sessions.

it seems that jon favors the dramatic flourish.

and then there is that nagging problem of having your child start screaming in terror as your trying to simultaneously drive at top speed through rush hour traffic to get to the crag while steering with your knee without spilling your beer while you try to fire up the joint you just finished rolling. oh wait. i stopped doing that when the children came along.

hey minx. responsibility is overrated.

you guys make me feel like puking.

i havent really ever 'taken time away from climbing'. rather there have been periods when i have not had time for climbing or had the opportunity. there are actually places in the world without rocks to climb. there are actually employers who expect you to show up every day for work. fuck that shit my nizzle.

bug. you a stalker or what? leave the girl alone already.

sounds bout as stoney as smoking banana peels.

what? did i fall asleep for a month again?

sorry. i was staring at your tits. did you say something?

four.

i just post here for the entertainment value. for getting attention i smear my feces on the cell walls.
