There is no section describing the sending of Morse code signals using rope tugs. Is there a newer copy of FOH?

"Belay on." "Climbing." "Up Rope" "Slack" "Tension" "Off belay." "Belay off" "ROCK!!!!!" "FALLING!!!!!" "OMFG!"

Thats it, I'm breaking out the Freedom of the Hills.

And a similar lesson can be learned from seatbelts. instead of being thrown safely from the tumbling car you can be crushed or burned to death! the internet always delivers when it comes to important information like this. you could also the compare it to the decision to climb at all. You could just stay at home on the couch, or you can go climbing and risk injury (if you were a helmet or not). Not wearing a helmet is just another fork in the road you can take or not. As for me: I do whatever it says in Freedom of the Hills

But Ivan, only read them because you want to...don't bother if its because you have to.

Hey if someone wants to grab this and set something up, CC.com can pay for the campground fees (and probably for dawgs, buns, burgers). I know Ulee likes doing it every year! Unfortunately my summer is already pretty busy so I'm not sure if I'll have the time. And we know we should probably book earlier so we can get a place in the Icicle near the climbing.

If they could just learn to lose better they could have the 103 mph fireballer. Instead they just got some kid who already needed Tommy-John surgery. Ahh well, hitters are a safer bet. Hopefully he'll be hitting better than expected and in the bigs by next year. Next stop is to pay off the pimp (Boras).

If you don't mind leaving gear and rapping the route, most routes would probably allow you to climb with a 15m rope.

Gotta score me one of those Hollow Flake t-shirts.

The Forest Service asked us to take down purmit.com. Looks like they no longer approve of selling or trading permits from a third party. So sorry but nothing we can do...please contact the Forest Service as to what to do with your permits or how to get permits.

One time on mountainbike ride down in Moab we stopped at the edge of a cliff and threw some rocks off and they came zinging right back up at us!!! It was either angry Anasazi spirits or the wind. My story is true. Yours is patently false and designed to incite apathy. It was very very true! And...I was wearing a helmet, albeit designed for biking. It is the smart thing when there is the potential for banging your head into the rock. But not needed if you never crash.

i like how you don't care about your head, but got the gloves on to protect the manicure

don't worry, hornblower is dongtastic macho reading material.

I like to wear helmets. I'm wearing one right now.

BREAKING NEWS!!! http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=475584&publicationSubCategoryId=63

Having bible verses tattoo'd on for tramp stamps is what all the girls are doing on my block.

I went out with my formerly non-accredited mountain guide yesterday and was reminded how much slab climbing is fun terrification. For me the angle swings back and from vertical to 45 degrees to almost level ground without warning. One moment its easy and the next moment levitation is required.

Road clear up to 3 O'Clock. Thanks to all who helped clear the road.
