What? Still trying to find Bertulis in your selected book...?

And I was hoping for a Bertulis revival...

Which routes...

But of course! J-Live is one of the best dual mcee/producer ever (though I think El-P beats him out); defiantly a fan. I’m not a huge fan of PUTS, but still appreciate them. You should definitely check out diverse if you also like J-Live. Word.

Could it be?

word word word. If you don't believe us: CIA insider slams Bush antiterror policies

Sawtooths???!!! Did you climb anything? Mmmm... Finger of fate...

While we are on the subject; BC has a 4th of July sale going on... mmm skinny ropes...

Damn that has got to be the best one I have heard in awhile... and to think they say liberals have all the wack conspiracy theories...

My main preference/I think they are great for is water ice… in and out much faster. Regardless of which detachable leash you use (BD or Petzl) I think you will find most people have made the leash switch for water ice… which is what the Quark excels at. In the alpine (and whether or not a quark belongs there) is a whole new ball game (and argument for that matter)… Dare I admit this in a public forum, but I have used them (the clipper, not the quark) in the alpine and liked them. This will probably be my opinion until I drop a tool… at that time I will change my opinion… though I don’t see that happening any time soon as any time I either go detachable or leashless in the alpine I use the double spring thing from Grivel… (Dru: enter stage left with cynical aid comment here… make sure to quote the last sentence) As I am already on the style police’s 10 most wanted list for attempted cowboy style bandana revival , I have no problem using the double spring thing (or dummy cords as they call them) as I don’t hang/take on them… I only use them the same way people use a leash… to try and avoid dropping a tool. I would say use the FREELOCK LEASH or some alternative in the alpine (unless you can prevent a dropped tool) and use the clipper for water ice lovin… How's that?

Depends on your tastes... Atmosphere displays a more rockish/aggresive side in this release (specifically the beats/samples... i.e Trying To Find A Balance and Cats Van Bags) which resulted in some new fans (the question is did they lose any in this move?). Some attribute this newer sound in part to being signed to epitaph (formerly Rhymesayers) prior to seven's travel production/release... who knows? Personally I like atmosphere foremost for Slugs honest lyrics about his relationship failures (I'm there with ya!) so the beat change didn't bother me... Have you heard mighty Mos’s latest? He dropped an EP earlier this month… only 5 tracks but sick (as expected)… there is also an Umi Says remix floating around (illegal so grab it) and a new 12” single of The Edge; the song he premiered on the first season of The Chappelle Show, riding around in Dave's Lexus. And if you like Mos check out Diverse (frosh produc: One a.m.)… so talented that even mos gives him love on some remixes (very similar to mos’s style also). As for me: New Slum Village MF Doom: Dead Bent Doomsday 12" 9th Wonder: Black Album Remixes Malik Flavors: Ugly Beauty (Madlib!!!) El-P: High Water (Mark) LP

Love them. However what you intend to use them for will dictate whether or not you should get rid of them (if you do I'll buy it off you...).

This is the way I always explain it: Ribbed for her pleasure… without the condom. mmm… 2 gauge.

The question is will you part with them? PM me with the terms...

Chouinard biner = aphrodisiac Chouinard ice axe = (anyone got one they'll sell me?)

I hear Muir has some hut girls...

Why would you want to come out here? I hear it's "so ill" in Illinois...

Word. I have had better success with Succeed!'s salt tabs (though some of ecaps products come with salt in them so you don't spend half the race trying to remember which pill to take when).

That is not my picture; I'm not that talented! Sorry to confuse you all but because the pic is so aesthetic I immediately remembered it from this thread once I read this thread... Props to Thrashador for posting that... sorry for the confusion!

You could try the Oregon State University Mountain club if you don't value you life... There are a few cool cats that work at Peak... troll around there. One of the closest outside areas is going to be the menagerie and the columns in Eugene... I would recommend doing the daily commute to Eugene and connect with the crew there... sounds like Addie has a crew that climbs at the columns at least one night a week and the columns is one of the better places to learn trad and aid.

w0000ttt W00o00o0o0ottTT!

I use cytomax for non competitive activities (daily runs/cragging); I order it by the 5 lb can from nutripro; it’s the cheapest I can find it (if anyone out there knows a cheaper source let me know please). Other drink mixes I use include succeed! products which can be found at Kevin's site. These are expensive for daily use, but for the big ones they are worth it. Finally, e-caps makes some truly amazing products including a drink mix that is almost entirely carbs (it literally tastes like paste… assuming you ate the paste in kindergarten you will identify it… ). They also sell a training CD that though is written in an orientation to ultra runners and bikers but has excellent application to climbers; specifically alpine. Take some time to browse there website; they offer a lot of training info (and fun products… ATP in a pill! ). As far as your cramps go; you probably know it could be any number of thinks (dehydration, inadequate stretching, diet, fitness, etc etc). I would say start with the things that are simplest to fix: stretch religiously (during the week and while climbing on the weekend); hydrate correctly; and make sure to keep a strong baseline fitness level. With that said generally cramps are a sign of either 1) dehydration or 2) serious lactic acid build up. Fighting the first with hydration will help with the second, but once you reach the wall/your limit cramps are inevitable… i.e running 6 miles a week religiously then jumping into a marathon. It’s only a matter of time before they hit. Twight suggests coffee as caffeine is a known stimulant. However if you drink it all the time, the effects are greatly diminished. Additionally if you do drink it during the week, your body becomes accustom to it and the amount of dehydration is reduced if not eliminated. Unless you rarely drink coffee I would argue that it is unlikely that the coffee is the source of the cramps. If you are worried; switch to green tea: even more caffeine than coffee.

My lab died Tuesday after 14 glorious garbage overturning-poop eating-cat chasing-leg humpin'-slobber wipin'-fish taco fartin’-pond swimming-always taking shotgun from anybody years. As sad as I am to see her go; I know she had an excellent life.

Was it this one?
