Come what about Harvey Kietel in and as the Bad Lutinent.

Come out here and I can show you some routes that I have established that have only seen two ascents, but damn there are some sections so polished that they are just like glass. How is one to know if the route has always been that way or if it has gotten polished over time? I agree that Midway and Angel probably are polished from climbing, but who is to say how much they have changed? Then you take into consideration the improvement in gear and shoes then you are back at square one. No change. Also grades are subjective, they are there to give you a idea of the difficulty to expect. There is no way that all 5.10's can feel the same because we all have different strengths and weakness.

I have always been hesitant using my traxion for soloing, because of the fear of the teeth cutting into the rope on a fall. Instead I have always used my Gri-gri. Once off the ground a bit and at a good stance I usually tie a back-up knot, just in case. Probably not the best system, but I feel secure.

Because it's not in the alpine lakes wilderness? Also I believe more traditional ethics were applied when establishing routes GGB. Meaning mainly ground up (though others know the history far better than I do, it just my impression of the area). When gear could be placed, bolts were not installed. Also the bolts are reasonably placed far enough to have a little pucker factor in some places, but still very safe routes.

I have that recurring nightmare, too. The worst is when you don't have any pants on, as well.

I am not sure if I would consider either sex or climbing a love/hate thing (with the exception of ice climbing). I love both and if I can have them at the same time, oh la la. I agree with pleasure/pain part though, without some pain how can you truely understand and appreciate pleasure.

See for me I think the difficult maneuver would be, trying to keep my eyes on the cute French girls climbing the next route over without my SO noticing.

Congrats on your Feckness

How do you live in Seattle and like beer and not know where Prost is??????? I hope you all poured one out for this homie. I miss Seattle.

I am sure just your snaffle pasties will be sufficient.

The easiest way to take care of the freezing issue is to blow the water back into the resivor. One breath is all you need.

Fuck that!!! That is rediculus no way will I ever pay that much for a DVD. How much do you spend on beer in a week? In a month? Currently I am spending about $10-12 a month. I would have to agree with DT, beer never get's boring. If it does you just change flavors.

Well on that note, living some place where there is very little climbing.

:tup: It was my first father's day last weekend. Simone and I had a great day playing and swimming, while mom was attending a conference. Way more fun than I ever imagined being a dad.

I just noticed on Yahoo news the other day that the air guitar championships was held in Washington. Kevboner how did you do?

Yeah your back will bother you cycling on regular bikes if you are too damn lazy to work your core and strech every once and a while. Recumbants are for couch potatoes, I am surprised they haven't started building them with cup holders for the 32 oz. soda cup and a tray for your burger and fries. Hey now. You being so critcal is mean. I won't make fun of them anymore now that I know some people really cannot ride a regular bike. No matter how "strong" their core is. My cousin got kicked in the privates playing soccer and had to have surgery years later, if he rides a reg. bike the scar tissue will build up and he won't be able to pee. He lives in San Fran, and a bike is really the only way he can get around. For me, I haven't even tried riding a bike yet, only recumbant at the gym. 1)I am scared to fall and break my hip. 2) I cannot sit well with pressure on my sacrum. If I am not able to ride a bike, recumbant will probably be an alright alternative. I believe there is legit uses for recumbents such as the situation with your cousin and you, but in general, like I said earlier recumbent are expensive POS. They are hard to work on, and there is issues with brakes, shifting and the wheels. Most people I see using them (I use to work in a bike shop and in my opinion and that is all it is, an opinion) people who ride them are lazy. In the past I have felt good when I have help someone get fitted on a recumbent or trike who for one reason or another could not ride a normal bike. On the same hand I have dealt with customers who could ride a normal bike and I have discussed all of the issues with them about these bikes and they have still decided to go ahead and purchase one, and then come back complaining and end up being the biggest pain in the ass customers I have had to deal with when working in the bike shop (the only exception was the freaky guy who use to come in all unshaven in ratty shirt and way too short shorts, trying to pick up on James the young guy in the shop). Octavius, I don't consider myself a fast rider, but there has not been a single time I have ever been passed by a recumbent. I checked out the windcheeta, again expensive junk. Cons: price, not many option for tires, excessive weight (33 or 28lbs), have to learn to use not so straight forward steering, low profile makes it difficult to see on road ways, accesories very expensive. Pros: stable, trike design easier on the wheels, normal length cabling.

Maybe the Ullinator should be called the Urinator. Joking aside though, that is so awesome. I cannot wait for Simone to grow some more so I can get her on the rock. Actually at this point I need to get working and build her a mini wall now that she is standing. Last night we had bouldering night and brought out the blanket so she could watch and see what "normal" people do with their free time.

I give up. What is ggk? And, speaking of chemistry, is it considered rude to present a ph strip or swab and petri dish before partaking? I have no idea what ggk is either, what is it?. Though I do know is I agree with Arch, is you don't want to fuck with the good pussy chemistry by breaking out the Heinz. Yeah it will clean everything out and it is good pH, but you wash out all the good stuff and make room for the chicken of the sea. As for a pH strip that will only tell you a little bit of info, you will still need your microscope for the wet mount and KOH for the whiff test for Amsel critera, or gram stain reagents and your microscope so you could do a Nugent score. Also make any observation of discharge, clear discharge is normal, yellowish and clumpy could mean an infection of some sort. Petri dishes for culturing are only used when there is a chronic problem (not the good kind of chronic). If it comes to that you will have to wait a several days it isolate the bugs to find out whether or not you should partake. As for it being rude under normal circumstances yes, but if you were role playing say doctor/patient or doctor/client, I think it will seem part of the act and you should be able to pull it off.

I find that more annoying than getting cooled off with my bladder breaking. When climbing though, I use nalgene bottles, and just carry it while I hike. It makes it difficult to use some geaked out trekking poles though. Clipping a bottle on your pack is useless, I hate it when my partner asking me to get their bottle off their pack.

I have gone through numerous bladders (Camelback and Platpus, haven't tried MSR). They are a sack and yes they wear out or pop, that is one of the downsides of saving weight. I personally don't use them for climbing mainly because of issues of leaking. Also after a few times having the teat come off and having water pouring down my arm while trying to jam, I have decided they are not good for climbing. I don't use them for skiing/boarding because all it takes is one fall where you land on your back and "pop" your wet in winter. Hiking and cycling is what I use them for, and I have had numerous ones pop from mountain bike crashes. There is saying and it goes like this, "shit happens."

Fuck that!!! That is rediculus no way will I ever pay that much for a DVD.

Camalots have a smother trigger action. The thing I like about the Metolius is that the spring is pretty stiff and price.

MEAT like a steak or burger, mmm yeah. I will usually have an Emergen-C or juice. Lots of salt on whatever starch I am eating with my steak or burger. I always mean to eat bananas for the Potassium, but hardly ever do.

Yeah your back will bother you cycling on regular bikes if you are too damn lazy to work your core and strech every once and a while. Recumbants are for couch potatoes, I am surprised they haven't started building them with cup holders for the 32 oz. soda cup and a tray for your burger and fries.

No way, it needs more juicy details of the sexcapades in order to be an interesting read. Billbob almost anything with sex sells, so I am sure she could get it published. It would be a fun project to work on.
