do you get the joke kev? if so, provide proof.

but it all matters not as we are nigh on the end of days

my Gallus gallus is a booted bantam

i usually carry a boombox to the crag so I can have a disco party like that when i'm climbing without a helmet and comm-linking my buddies with rope tugs.

thus spake kevbone

I woke up in the ditch again. Someone split my head open with a maul, or at least thats how it feels. I messed myself. Again. But there is a bit left in the bottle I found in my hand, so I have a drink and stumble out into a bright new day of possibility.

thats one of the funniest things Ive ever heard! HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA FRED BECKEY!!!!!

the "health insurance" i have sucks. its basically catastrophe insurance that only starts paying out after i have paid out a large deductible that is far more than I average in yearly medical costs. if you are happy with your insurance you're most likely in the minority for Americans. I've worked for two major companies and have seen medical insurance coverage take a huge downward turn, from great coverage to what I have above. And these are from companies that are considered "good to work for". I do feel lucky to have the coverage I do though. Shortly after I had (in one year) both sepsis and a broken leg, my insurance changed. Instead of paying out the huge amount I would now the costs were reasonable.

woooo--EEEEEEEE! WE GOT SOME TRASH TALKIN GOIN ON UP IN HERE!!!!!!

Every time I go out on my bike someone tries to kill me driving their Prius.

it really matters not as long as you and your climbing partner have some agreed set of commands. so if you and your partner like to tug, have at it! my copy of FOH is from 1960, so perhaps there is an update to that section.

With a name like that he would make a good comic book character. 7 peaks slogger: http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/31195424/

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.
