Hey, John I remember that weekend - ski-in, wasn't it? ...with a woman, too as I recall...that Pandora girl? lol!!

You are welcome!

Like taking nuts from a

Not just any Baller can straight spin air like that. Wack, Yo. Props.

What up, SolMan? 4 hours - one response. Yah, not a big deal to you NW hardmen. Cheers, E

Seems like you have a bit more time, according to our resident Nuclear Physicist, Ed Hartouni, over on Supertopo: "hey Juan, if the LHC destroys the world on Wed, it will actually happen on Tue because they will collide beam early so that they know it will happen during their press conference... If, in fact, we (I'm one of the eggheads) destroy the planet, I'll take you out for a beer. Also, it will take more than a nanosecond... the fastest it could happen is the diameter of the earth, 41,851,445' divided by the speed of light... 1 ns/ft, that's more like 42 milliseconds, tops! If it is the speed of sound it takes even longer, what's the speed of sound in the earth? You know that number I'm sure. " "actually, I don't think you have to worry about tomorrow... here's why: they will start to commission the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) by injecting beam into one of the rings... then circulate the beam in that ring. Then they will do it in the other ring... that will take 6 days. Then they will take the beams to 450 GeV (which is less than Fermilab's Tevatron) and do a bunch of measurements... that will take 9 days They'll then setup for collisions at 450 on 450, still less than Fermilab... another 13 days. Finally, they will setup for collisions at 7 TeV... so maybe by the end of the month there will be collisions in the ring that have never occurred on earth before in a laboratory. These collisions happen all the time with cosmic rays hitting the earth, however... You can check on progress at the LHC Commissioning home page Lots of time to drink pints and choose your favorite towel... ...and work on the improbability drive... Don't worry, be happy."

Tearing it up PROUD!

HOLLA TO DA AIR-BIKE RIDIN' BALLAH!

Hey, Raindawg? The "extremist" card to drive home your point is pretty played out.

You just want to see the old days when climbers were reticent and outcasts. To see any affiliation or groupthink of any kind in your mind is equal to a crushing of the climbing spirit. Fixation on outcome beyond your control is very sad, but not altogether unexpected. It keeps one from experiencing the joy of acceptance. Your loss, Raindawg.

ROFLMAO!!!!!

What's crackin'? C'mon, Porter. Show the picture of the Big Baller on his sweet Bike - I couldn't find it... E

Nice.

Bump

It should be called "Big Bee"!

The Linkinator Strikes Again!

That one looks like it's in the cave. the funky 11 jam/reach, right? It's not one of mine, I forget the name... All of mine are on the East facing Wall to the right of the cave. My routes are (rt to L): Gunstone, .11c (traverses under roof on far right by slab) Roofus, .11d (2nd? to the right route on ledge, capped by 6-foot roof. The hard looking dihedral is a 12+? I think? Pax and I tried it...) and Airborn Ranger, 11c the one to the left of Roofus. There's some newer ones on the wall to the left of AR, not sure what those are

Redenbacher Bump!

That looks familiar, hmmmm. Nice stuff there, Rudy!

it is right - rarely used, but right. look it up. Checked my huge tome (2,000+ pages) of the RHD. I humbly stand corrected. "You have to know these things when you're a king, you know." ---Arthur, King of the Britons
