"borrow a pair and try them for yourselves for a while" Nice review. The closeup pics of the lobes were very good to see how these differ from the typical TCU, or even the Hybrid Aliens. Thanks for putting it together.

Niiice.

They mention using the adze to cut steps. I've never swung a 4.5 oz axe, but I can't imagine it would do shit on any terrain needing steps cut.

A second-tier market with second-tier alpinists.

size?

According to this thread, I am clearly in violation of many rules. 1. I am an avid climber, but my ladyfriend does not climb. 2. She is 36 years old, I'm only 29. 3. She does not have Double-d cups. What am I to do? Please advise.

It's snowing a little here in Maple Leaf (I just got home). It was snowing like a sumabitch in the E-V-T. I had about 8 inches on top of my car.

The midwest is making fun of Western Washington right now. They needed 12 feet of snow to cause this display of ass-hattery.

All this bullshit has me stuck at work. The slapdicks here can't drive 30' in 2" of snow without cocking something up. The road headed out of this place is jammed with jackasses and a jack-knifed bus at the end.

I would not want to ski anything in Mountaineering boots. That would suck. I really wouldn't want to ski in mountainering boots and a full pack. That would suck balls. I've got Dynafits that were fitted to MX-7's and Scarpa Matrix boots. In all, it was light and skied well enough for a newb like me.

It looks like operating the trigger is easier than the petzl stuff. I won't be buying any for a while.

Check out Busdriver - especially "Imaginary Places" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpP-8tJ-9Js

The Edelrid is pretty big.

Call Second Ass-scent. They have a couple pair of beat up foot fangs and plenty of steenky old fleece.

The Airtech Evo is light, has a steel head and will climb some ice. The curve in the shaft adds some "oomph" for self-arrest. If you like the grip of the BD, you might look at the new Venom ice axe with replacable pick.

She has a backend like a Mack Truck. Are tennis professionals as monitored for doping as other athletes?

Instead of rentals, maybe we could organize a tool lending tree in seattle. I have some Tech WIngs (very similar to Taak00ns) that I would lend.

This is the start of a fall from grace. Next thing you know, you will be pulling on gear on Das Toof.

Effing rad. Kudos to Club Sport

Do you have some pictures?

Rubbing alcohol in a spraqy bottle - drench the stinky surfaces and let dry.

i don't think any of the cc.comers there bothered to take a picture http://www.goatse.cz potentially NSFW link

pictured from left to right: e-rock, archenemy, dechristo, mr. phil, fenderfour. No, I'm taller.

Hey fender 4......why dont you go eat a dick! Case in point. It's a good picture, but nothing original. "Eat a dick" is about as lame an insult as you can get. Check out some insults from classic cc.commers. Trask had a flair for creativity as did Polish Bob and Caveman.
