I'm not talking about those who wrote the article...I'm talking about those who choose to publish something that has already been published elsewhere. Not an uncommon practice in the literary world, but maybe I just missed the 'orginally pubished in 'blah'' at the end of the feature.

Thanks for setting me straight. I didn't read it in the other sources. So they just reuse text that has already been published in other publications? At anyrate, when are you climbing it?

When I picked up the first issue I saw of Alpinist, it was some issue that had a picture of a couple of guys, and the caption said something like "and these fell to their death a couple of minutes later". Hardcore. And of course the article about the northface of the Devil's Thumb is a true inspiration. Unclimbed, and a very low survival percentage for those even attempting it. How many people that post on this board would think of attempting something like that?

It is expensive. The stories are generally pretty good, and the photography is great. I noticed more adverts in the latest issue (7), but I don't know there are more or I just noticed them more this time.

When was this accident? Details?

It is a special bouldering edition. My wife picked it up and started cracking up at me for buying a poser magazine that would print something like " "a dusty canyon spilling over with spring-break burners from Chico, packs of snarling dogs and chatterbox beta-monkeys from Planet Hell" or " Bling-bling, cha-ching: This is a cash-money masterpiece, yo. Start on two arbitrary slopers, and then, depending on which micro-beta you've scammed from the illustrious V-sputtering hordes". I guess that article is supposed to piss you off though.

Radon, I believe the point is that there isn't much else the US government can do to get people (more people) to send over...beside drafting recruits. They are now at the point of calling up people that they can based on their contract. You mention that the clause has never been used before. Is there any other way to get more soldiers (other than having a bunch more people volunteer)?

you read a news article on cnn.com and you immediately start looking for a "Reply" button.

I read in one article that they were doing 'sitting belays'...I can't remember where I read the article. But obviously some of the people in the media haven't been accurate, so don't take my word for it.

That is a bizzare concept...coating forests with chemicals to avoid a possible fire.

I have been trying to train and climb smarter.

looks like someone set his face on fire and tried to put it out with a bag of nickels?
For some reason, this is poetry for me.

Wouldn't have to if a certain fetal alcohol mod wouldn't get off of banning young male conservative sprayers. Hey were you ever in the cloth?
