Yeah I love it when I can't crank through the crux moves and am looking at a 30' on a bullshit screw because my 4 lb pack and 2 lb thermarest pumped me out early... but hey at least it feels comfy on my back when I take the ride...

I was quick to answer (can't help it... love my pack); I should have asked how many days do you envision doing the traverse in? Expected pack weight? Are you doing the standard peaks or plan to nab a few extras (climb elephant dome!!! hot!)?

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...

I want pins... check pms.

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...

No thanks.

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).

Which mtn hardwear bivy sack is it? Material? Why are you getting rid of it? I have a WT sack, but am very hesitant to let go it (16 oz.).
