Cerberus 5.11d Squamish - Pendulum Fall
glassgowkiss replied to WhippersAndTears's topic in Climber's Board
not a big fan of entire film made of gopro pov. Kind of giving me a headache in about 30 seconds. -
I find actual weight training, plus a finger board much better for staying in shape for climbing. Pull-ups also can cause elbow and shoulder repetitive strain injuries if you are not careful.

Yea, lots of money for some. For others in the community not such a deal. Gasland Yes, corporate shills want us to believe drinking lighting fluid is good for your health.

sounds like a great recovery. just fyi, I find it usually takes about 12-18 months for the bones and tissues attaching to them to recover completely. In all honesty it took me something like 12 months to recover from my appendectomy and about 6 months to recover from shoulder dislocation. I regained a full function very quickly, but these are the times it took me to get back to 100% fitness levels prior to these events. So don't get frustrated, if you feel like your body fitness is not as it was for about a year. Now also don't forget to work your upper body for climbing. Even though you still can't climb, you can use finger board for finger strength, you can do lat machine, rowing machines, bendover rows, barbell rows, to keep you upper body muscles strong. In the early 90's I had some big toe issues, which sidelined me for a few weeks at the time, and every time I returned to climbing, I was actually stronger, because I trained my upper body like a fiend.

Conservative Champions- Funded by Stalin and USSR

Sheep aside, their conservatism is kind of on a shaky ground. -

If you remember out route on East Face of Pyramid Peak, this song inspired the name of the route [video:youtube]VB3GzmC_9rI

"Koch was founded by Fred C. Koch, who was born in Texas in 1900. He trained as an engineer at MIT and invented a new thermal cracking process that turned crude into gasoline. Koch made a fortune in the 1930s by helping Stalinist Russia upgrade its oil fields". HERE Something sounded very familiar about tea party rhetoric. Yea, very conservative….

Economy or Koch brothers and Koch industries? Real Story behind pipeline

On the contrary, avi hazard was low most of the winter, hence there was plenty of alpine ice and alpine mixed. Also made it for easier travel to such locations as the Headwall

Whistler gives you live temp feed across the mountain. It's 5C at almost 7000 ft at 9:30 pm. I doubt it's even freezing at 9000ft at night at the moment.

Well, you know things evolve. This might be good enough vision for late 19th or early 20th century, but since then we (as society) figure out maybe a better method. For instance we have governmental laws prohibiting child labor. That kind of goes beyond "national security". And this is the crux of the issue. Throughout the decades of the history of the country the role change just from providing "national security" to regulating and providing safe and equal playing field (vide Glass- Steagall Act of 1933). The neo-cons like KKK want to turn the clock a couple of hundreds of years, ideally reinstating child labor and such practices in the process. In general they are not any different Taliban or ISIS trying to revert matters back to 11th century.

My point was this is how twisted republican strategy and politics is. And this type of policy implemented essentially enacted a class of untouchables: gas and oil, banking, insurance execs, who simply act with impunity. This is not capitalism- in capitalism you pay for services and goods. This is wealth redistribution, and lining your own pocket, then stiffing the tax paying public with the rest of the actual cost.
-
And the case for private ownership? Are you fucking kidding me? Yes, maybe start talking about self-regulation as well? WTF? The only case here is: we need to regulate the fuck out of the oil and gas industry, and we need to start asking for payment up front. There is a reoccurring pattern of depleting resources, followed with a bankruptcy protection. And some of these polluters should be criminally liable, maybe these CEo's and FCO's would rethink their decision making process.

drill baby drill Real socialism is extracting a public resource, and then stiffing a tax payer with the cost of clean up. Drill baby drill is coming home to roost. Why aren't these companies required a bond for each well in the amount that would cover the eventual cost of cleanup? KKK and republifucks should be forcefully relocated to such areas, so they could experience first hand the shit they create. "After the methane industry collapse, there were almost 4,000 wells in Wyoming that the company responsible walked away from. Now, the state has to pay the price." "There is a way to ensure there's enough money for cleanup: make companies pay for all of it upfront. But that's not on the table in Wyoming, or anywhere else in the country."

One thing I have to agree with Trump is, when he posted on Tweeter, that 9/11 happened under GWB watch. Jeb was spouting about his brother securing the country, but Trump is 100% right, it happened after Bush was a in the office for 9 months!

when you have a federal policy favoring developers and big money, you end up with monopoly. And petro-economy ties in with a currency, because then everything starts to revolve around petroleum and gas base products. And it's not only Vancouver, because pretty much exact issues are happening in Calgary and Toronto. So it's hard to blame just a foreign money. The fact is, the more diverse the economy is, the better for an average person. Harper's cronies gambled, and at the same time they turned canadian dollar into a currency based upon petro industry. At the same time, they pretty much sacrificed entire manufacturing sector.
-
Actually, I kind of disagree. Usually we have longer periods of clear, cold weather, we just don't have the snowfall. Some of the best ice in Frazier Valley formed in 2003 and 2004, which was also El Ninio.
-
The last 3-4 years economy is very stagnant, with big cost of living increases, and wages being flat. This is partially due to the fact Harper's cronies changed the economy to petro economy. Hence families making over 150K/year still can't afford to buy a condo, not to mention a house in areas like Vancouver or Toronto.

Looks like the last remnant of conservatives in North America is packing his bags tonight. Harper and his neo-cons suffered a crushing defeat, and clearly vast majority of Canadians just simply rejected conservative agenda. Job well done.

Looks like the whole Bengazi affair is just a complete waste of taxpayers $$$. Even more. If indeed Gowdy actually altered email content, or misrepresented the content, he should be one who is investigated for such offenses: full article

It's interesting how it's unfolding for the republicans. Looks like the nightmare of Trump getting a nomination is slowly becoming a reality. Even according to some Republican sources, he is getting about 25-30% of the primary votes. He can probably pick a few more votes, when Carson drops out (yes, he will simply run out of money). However this is it. Regardless how you slice it or dice it, Trump will not get enough votes in general elections. One of the Republican advisors suggested that if indeed Trumps is the nominee of the party, even Texas might vote for a Democratic candidate. And that is the crux of the issue: in order to win Republican nomination, any candidate has to alienate pretty much every crucial group in general election- Hispanics, Blacks, Women and younger voters. It is also not certain if the Republican Party can even hold the majority in some House and Senate races.
