The penalty for having two wives is having two wives.

that whole lip on the lid will break off without too much force either and should not be used as an attachment. Not the lid, the lip on the main bottle below the threading for the lid.

Or tie a bit of 3mm accesory cord around the lip where the lid is retained.

As a recap, I went to two different bars, had a few terrific beers, and now I'm going to sleep for a while. Have fun at work.

10:35 pm and you are at work? All of your dick-headedness is forgiven.

I've just realized that after a few beers, "Your mom" is the best response to any post. Please advise.

We might also want to pitch in to buy Rumr a new life. He has been camped out on this thing all day.

Go for the "Old Chute" it sounds dirty.

You guys are getting all worked up for no reason. Only the Boealps or the Mountaineers would be in the Icicle doing anything this weekend. I've already said that this is a warning, not "dibs". If Rumr wants to take it another way, he can eat a dick. He won't be out there trying to climb anyway.

"you're just jealous because I have more chromosomes than you do"

I keep asking myself that. I think this may be my last year with a structured course. I used to have a lot of fun in large groups of people. Now my best trips are with a partner or two.

It's not reserving, It's warning. If I get to the cliff and all the routes are taken, I will find somewhere else to go. Whatever. it will be raining. We will still be out there. This really doesn't encourage anyone to notify the climbing public. Would you rather know that a bunch of n00bs will be infecting a crag, or would you rather show up with your kids to find it overrun?

Ask and ye shall receive

I would say yes. I don't believe in much these days, but meeting or seeing the Pope speak is something I would do. People like the Dalai Llama, the Pope, Desmond Tutu, etc... aren't just religious figures. These guys are significant world leaders.

Astro Nuts yo.

If you want to toprope the 5.6 lieback at Barney's Rubble, I will be sure to let you in.

We do a little more than that. This weekend we're covering rappelling past a knot and escaping the belay along with some anchor building.

yes, we are all idiots that can't climb for shit.

"Character Building"

The Boealps basic class will be in the Icicle Creek area this weekend. Planned destinations are: Playground Point (upper and lower) Madsen's Dome Clamshell Cave Mountaineers Dome Arnica Glenn Barney's Rubble I'm not looking for spray, I just wanted to warn you that we will be out there getting in your way.

Thou shalt make way for the free climbers. Their needs take precedence.

If everyone retyped a page or two, we could have a fresh .pdf in no time.

That is a very nice summary.

Both classes are in full swing. You will have to wait until next january to sign up for Boealps or the Mountaineers. If you wanted to get some instruction before that, check out the 3-5 day program with Alpine Ascents International or a similar program from (gasp!) RMI.

Polyethylene can be cut pretty easily. It can also be formed to add ribs if you heat it properly.
