What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). Where does it come from? Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32. The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham. Where can I get some? There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

I'm going to cautiously say that I may have fixed this issue. I was looking at another issue that myself and another user were having, and when I found the solution to that I thought to try this issue out again and I can't seem to reproduce it. Basically, cutting and pasting a large TR into a new TR is working for me right now. I won't call it fixed till others confirm that the issue is gone for them as well. Hopefully that was it, but if it wasn't then let me know because I've developed a theory about the issue and where I can look to fix it if it still exists....

From what I've gathered in the last 5 minutes, everyone on on CC.com (except me) goes climbing in beautiful stunning locations with beautiful people. That is pretty awesome, I'm actually super happy for you. Jealous..but happy for you! Thanks for the TR...this is awesome stuff that I think I could actually pull off, so super inspiring. Thanks for the TR. -
Awesome neighbor! Would still like to get out with ya some time! That is crazy about the bear! What the hell was he doing up there...keeping cool? Great TR.

well...the best tent maybe the one that you have in hand when you need it...and the one that works for you. no doubt the cuben tents are the lightest, and if couple that with a design that works and that might be the best if cost is not an object. so you're all right. celebrate diversity.

[TR] Poster Peak - Blue's Buttress (III 5.7) 8/6/2016
olyclimber replied to Nick Sweeney's topic in North Cascades
Do let me know if the work around isn't working for you.... -
and more importantly, was there a Pokestop up there?

pretty awesome, i can't even fathom it really.... "In February, Drew climbed his first 5.14d when he made the first ascent of Assassin at the Aggro Gully, Smith Rock, Oregon. The route links up the cruxes of Repeat Offender (5.14b), Villain (5.14a) and White Wedding (5.14a) into what is likely the hardest climb at Smith. It has yet to be repeated." Hardest climb at the birthplace of American sport climbing.
