now I do supply chain management shoulda been a business major

everyone knows that proteins fold by intelligent design.

Yeah... protein structure and folding has nothing to do with gibbs free energy yeah-but you couldn't hack it so you went the pchem route. loser Actually I was a chem, biochem, biophysics triple major until my senior year when I realized I didn't want to spend the rest of my life in a lab with an HPLC and bitchy office mates

!!!

Actually thermo about killed me

Come on guys! I'm just having some fun! No need to get your lab coats in a bunch!

I am a chemical physicist for the record

Aren't ChemE's the monkeys who can't cope with actual Chemistry? I am a chemE. I move stuff through pipes. I am smart.

I don't know where you went to school but I don't recall any classes or topics on chemistry Perhaps you are thinking of the frat you were in? Analytical chemistry is for the chemists that couldn't hack inorganic, organic or physical

Trained monkeys can do analytical chemistry Insert needle. Push. Repeat. Oh look! Peaks! Based on how much catbirdseat posts you can likely give the work to him

Summer or winter mountaineering? Where (nothwest? Alaska? East Coast? Altitude?)? Weekend shots or extended outings?

If you can get it in 40 m good pick... if not the 30 m might be a tad short for some rope team sizes and/or glaciers. And the difference between 30 m and 40 m at a rope that light is negligible IMO.

I'm gonna have to change my avatar pic...

Does/has anyone owned or used a jacket that had either Exceloft (Montbell's own syn fill fabric) or MTI Performance by Ajungilak (Mammut is using it this year)? I am most interested in fill life: how well does the fill retain it's loft over the lifetime of the garment? How does/did it compare to other syn fills? Other comments? Warmth? From Montbell's webpage: From mountain tool's website (I couldn't find anything on mammut's webpage): TIA!

So perhaps maybe put a Hello Kitty sticker on the stainless steel one? Thanks Olyclimber and Fern! Anybody else?

Blue water still offers the ice floss (8.1 mm) in the 37 m length (94 bucks on mgear.com). At 42 g/m this would be a good contender for a glacier travel rope. I know many people usually end up turning a 60 or 70 m ice/alpine rope that has been shortened over the years for whatever reason (rap anchors, core shots, misplaced tool placements) into their glacial rope but it sounds like you don't have this option. You could post something in the yard sale and see if anyone has a chunk they might be willing to sale/give to you. I might have a piece of 8.6 you could buy... The glacier will dictate distance between rope team members... for cascade glaciers a 37 m rope should be great for 2-4 member rope teams. If you do end up going skinny keep in mind with a skinny rope that 3 mm of difference is ideal for prusik knots... most people carry prusiks that are 6 mm... a 5 mm prusik would give you better gripage.

How many in your rope team?

I prefer strong beautiful dentists from Alaska Come on people! Back on topic!!! Has anyone owned a nissan thermos? Good? Bad?

FYI for those interested... Lewis and Clark have been hosting some great lectures this week. Anyone interested in carpooling or just meeting up give me a shout. If anything you can go for the free food...
