  1. yes, but you can play it on Macs.
  2. here is a link (work safe) to put a smile on your face: http://www.videophotoproductions.com/films/mullet.mov enjoy
  3. last weekend we saw some dolt aiding up jap gardens with a pace of a slow snail. btw sat morning this was one of the only few dry pieces of rock up there. i mean what's up!?? since you are hanging off gear anyway why don't you go up some real aid pitch instead of going up a free route, that goes up at moderate grade!!?? i mean what are you going to learn? how to piss everyone else off? if it was your goal- you are 100% on target.
  4. no that's a bunch of bullshit. parties tr-ing a route all day long is a friggin horseshit. learn to respect other people and to share the crag. gang-bang tr-ing all day long (blocking access for other people) is just another elitist behavior done by clown punching wankers
  5. from supertopo: "I've been around the metal fabricating world in one capacity or another for beter than 35 years now. ASME has had well developed procedures for all aspects of welding and brazing for a hell of a lot longer than that. If I buy a non presurized chemical storage tank, that if it fails will only result in a major hassle but no posible loss of life. That tank will have about an inch of paper submitted before the approval for fabrication that documents all the: Structural calculations, Seismic loading calculations Documentation of the quality of the materials and fasteners supplied, The exact welding procedures to be used, Proof of certification of the welders that do the procedures. Documentation of test procedures Results of sample and final tests. Witnessing by a third party of final tests. etc. All of this by independent and licenced pros or at a minimum the signature of someone asuming legal responsibility for the accuracy of the statements. There's no need for "lilly Guilding" and frankly a lot of those requirements are imposed only to guarantee an income stream for those with the power to mandate regulations that benefit themselves. Still, climbing equipment should at least be built to common ASME standards! BD, Metolious, DMM, and others seem to adhere internaly to a parallel sytem of standards. And, when their products do fail, it is almost always due to stressing beyond design limits, and they still seem take the failures seriously. CHH from all acounts and the general apperance of their product has an ad hoc approach to quality control. If you can't afford the kind of quality control program that is industry standard, maybe you should be making a widget that no one is hanging their a$$ out on. That's why I've never owned any." can't agree more. hope this last incident is trully last one and a hefty lawsuite will put them out of business once and for all.
  6. .
  7. any car with 210k is a piece of junk not worth much. in general they are rather spendy to fix.
  8. no fuck you. you supported this administration and their energy policy. so eat shit and live now biatch
  9. Not exactly the same--but at Mclellan rocks in Spokane--there is an entire wall (Pack Rat cave, i think) that is full of bolted cracks (most of which still haven't seen FAs). I heard that the argument was that since it overhangs so much (probably 20 degrees or so) that it was "too hard" to place gear on the routes. so here is your chance laddy- go and send them. as a fa you earn your right to remove any pro you don't see fit for the climb. show us you slop (superior lock-off power)
  10. pope, i can see your point if: -routes were not manufactured -it wasn't an old quarry in a first place maybe your energy should be focused on removing a bunch of metal from tunnel area and left side of lower wall. to me 2 inch rods with monstreus lognuts are way bigger problem then some bolts half way up. your thinking is on par with nps, where they go to detail about bolting on a road side crag (newhalem), forgetting to mention 2 artificial lakes, a road, multiple powerlines and a whole little town along with steam engine! your generation carved more pinscars (like mentioned by you iron horse- which btw i did lead to the top and you did not) then any trigger happy guy with a dril ever will- so stfu, as clearly we can see your superior moral high ground sunk well below sea level btw. if you have such big balls, so you need to show us length of your dick by removing anchors from a popular climb, have some balls and show us your face wanker. other wise you're just another chickenshit cunt
  11. you won't miss it since you don't climb. btw we are talking about some road side rock heap that used to be a quarry, to keep it in a right perspective, not some alpine peak.
  12. you guys must be desperate to post this on this website!

    omg!

    if i lived in lethbridge i would start smoking weed myself. full of memenites(sp?)- canadian version of mor(m)ons. as you drive through the sign should say- welcome to hell buy!
  14. is it possible to get gown with 1x 70m? thanks
  15. your closest option from calgary is prerie creek. it's about 45 minute drive (depends on time of the day and your location in town). grassi lakes in canmore would be also possible to climb in the afternoon. you can get all the info from several guidebooks (Bow Valley rock, ghost, sport climbs in canadian rockies). june it's usually mixed bag, sometimes it's possible to do some mixed alpine riggs (n facing and high up). there are 2 or 3 climbing gyms in town (calgary climbing center is one of them). mec will have a good selection of guides. you can also check www.live-the-vision.com and possible look for partners there.
  16. i think you have up to 2x 90 days with 1 mo in between visits. i don't think they check if you stay just for a few days at the time, however i did hear about cuple of cases, where people were deported back across the boarder. in any case- a lot of canadians start developing a big dislike to americans, due to lumber dispute, flighrt manifest aproval and such stupid things. anyway- i just wanted to put it out there, so one doesn't overstay the limmit. btw with computer system in place ALL your cross border travel is recorded.
  17. yes there is a limmit on staying at the campground. there are free places, i can shoot you pm. however your biggest problem is you can't stay over 90 days in canada. if you don't go over this limmit you'll be ok.
  18. we can expect however every woman to have a muff
  19. i was there on sunday as well. i think your outlook on avi danger is very optimistic. strangely enough Ice Nine fell off on sunday and we were baking (so were our screws) on weeping pillar. i don't think the temps were all that diferent on a route just a couple of clics away. a pretty good size "slough" almost knock my partner off belay (our rope released little snow field 8mx5m. however i am sure you have better knowledge of rockies snowpack then most of us fools. btw, it's not the big slope above the route you have to look out for, but the shitty little slope you have to cross to bypass the pencil pitch
  20. somewhere on this mostly useless site there was a GU mix recepie. somehow i can't find it now. and no i am not talking about your penis gu only about that stuff you take to make you climb harder
  21. my friends need a ride to Baker or other backcoutry areas WA/BC from Bellingham this week ( I have to work). If you have space contact me via phone 360.927.4861 or leave me a pm here. Thanks- r

  24. hey wankers- this is how it's done- Ondra's trip to Spain and France- 2 weeks: * Estado critico 9a (3. go, according to Adam 8c+ "NEVER 9a"), * Broadway 8c+ (4. go, Adam suggests grading 8c+/9a), * Travers de la Enmiend 8c+/9a (4. go), * L'odi Social 8c+ (2. go), * Blomu L3 8c+ (3. go, maybe 8c/c+), * La novena puerta 8c/c+, * El koala 8b+, first OS, sometimes this route is graded 8c, not by Adam :-), * Desafiando a Newton 8b+ OS, * Santa Linya 8b OS, * Bad Boy 8b OS, * Blomu L2 8b OS, * Sexhibition 8b OS, * Umpah - pah o entre a dos aguas 8b flash, * Los atletas de la roca 8a+ OS, * Tirrabolts 8a+ OS, * Plus dure sera la chute 8a+ OS (French region Baume les dames) . let's sum it up: 1x9a, 4x8c+, 2x 8b+ OS,5x 8b OS or flash, 3x 8a+OS. it's like doing all the hardest routes in N. America in 2 weeks!
