  1. From the Wenzel (Wal-Mart) Wenzel Starlight product description: "[starlight] is highly weatherproof and very durable, but it is a shelter – not a tent – and so puts only a single layer of [impermiable] fabric between you and the elements.... [The] single wall design is, by nature, more prone to condensation than a double wall tent. To combat this, we put no-see-um mesh into the the top third of the door to promote cross ventilation." This is a brilliant design innovation, worth every penny. But the coated floor will trap condensation to a greater extent than floorless designs.
  2. Not just making it up. Smart people make distinctions. Dumb people don't understand, and therefore attempt jokes, but lack this ability.
  3. It’s all about joining the centipede and feeding on the “alternate facts” that could only come one source. An ass. And then passing that on to the next fella.
  4. What you need to do Mr Seagull, is to “do the research”. Repeat till you understand that all I say is absolutely correct and inscrutable. At this point stop your research. Then get on Internet forum and preach the gospel.
  5. I usually find that a few hours listening to Art Bell more is informative to the true nature of the universe than the gestalt of human scientific learning.
  6. Dude. You need to do the research. WAKE UP!!!!’
  7. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!!!1!!!!
  8. Sorry, my dog got loose again
  9. The point and sole purpose of mountain climbing is to reach the peak, the true apex. Only then is the mission successful. All else should be considered failure and should be mocked and ridiculed.
  10. I love this thread! GET R DONE!
  11. I have the pee pee tapes.
  12. Of course there has to be some unexplored stuff out there, even if it isn't a summit. Maybe a Snow Creek Wall, buried behind a 2 day approach.
  13. in that vein....
  14. Eric and Rat are our reigning choss emperors. Felt like to me this was the crown climb for this site for some reason. There are some great TRs, many perhaps more technically difficult, but this was one...for those that value virgin exploration in desolate and beautiful places, that felt different. Imagine what Kerouac would have thought if he had read this TR. Have we seen anything close to it since? Will we again? For this community as it is or was, which has faded in number and gotten older, perhaps not. Will someone prove me wrong? Kerouac’s Void has been climbed, and I’m glad it was Eric and Rat that did it, because that meant we got Eric’s words here, with his literary gifts, encrusted with understated sandbaggery. I would not blame them at all if they both just chose Squamish henceforth. And yes there is still more that can be done I suppose in the world of choss grovelry, and plenty of things that have been done that deserve many repeats and the story of those repeats can hopefully be told, whether it is here or where ever stories are getting shared these days. But the days of exploring virgin territory like this...what of any significance is left? Can you share a picture of it? and thanks @lunger and @rat you crazy fuckers, hope you are well.
  15. But again...this *is* a confessional, so we don't judge. We forgive.
  16. I guess all the songs are about men who love goats. And not in a congenial way either!
  17. Did you guys know Druul is in a band?
  18. its the orange pants that does it for me
  19. You are forgiven.. Vic Berger Presents Jim Bakker Had A Dream About Young People - YouTube
