For those of you that have either an AWD or 4WD vehicle: 1) What do you drive (year/make/model/other relevant details such as V4 or V6, canopy, etc etc)? 2) What kind of gas mileage do you get? No debates please. Just answer those two questions. XOXoxOXoxOXoxOXoxOXXOoxOXOox John

??? Where did I say I was buying one? My BD blizzard is awesome for what I use it for

Depends on how you define "fitness"

What he said. CrossFit aims to increase work capacity across diverse, unfamiliar, or even unknowable physical challenges. CF's vehicle in pursuit of this end is constantly varied, if not randomized, functional movement executed at high intensity. CrossFit + climbing specific training (like going climbing) = Rock and Ice #166 pg52: What the heck are Max and LP doing in that photo? Hmmm... could it be?

If you mean 8 cores in one CPU by 2011 yes (actually ~64). But 80 seperate CPUs... not so much.

For someone so opinionated about gear you sure are clueless. You cant standardized boot warmth because more than just the boots factor into how warm your feet are. What you wear on your core, socks, VBLs or no VBLs, what you eat (or didnt eat for breakfast), hydration levels, etc etc and so on all effect how effectively or ineffectively your body is able to get blood to the extremities. The Nepal Tops/Evos are colder than plastics. The Nepal Tops/Evos will be as warm as other leathers that have similar amounts of insulation (usually listed as XXXg of a synthetic) Go to an ice festival and try the boots out. Problem solved.

They had a few @ the canmore ice festival... sick sick lightweight. Bottom line: Some of us will justify the price for weight savings... some of us wont. Just like when wire gates came out... most of us felt replacing all our biners with wire gates was worth the weight savings. Some of us didnt/dont.

Thanks but that is the M11... not M11+ (old style vs. new style)

IPA or IBA?

Does anyone know of any shop/dealer/etc in North America that has the M11+ (not the M11) in stock? :[] Link, phone # or email would be awesome!

Okay... your turn to break trail Surfing. We like going on surfing trips. We dont recall saying anything about wanting to go on ice climbing trips.

We had a similar problem down here... mud + leaves + precarious belay position. We leveled it and threw down a bail of hay... eliminated the mud issue and as long as you throw down a new bail of hay each year after fall it covers the leaves also

Where in the gorge do you live?

My understanding is that gym jones has a separate session per day that "applicants" can attend and assuming they stick with it will achieve the various levels required to train @ the main "full prescription strength" session/WOD. My gym does the same thing... it offers 2 sessions for non members to attend/check out the program and if they are interested as well as we think they would be quality addition to the gym they receive an invitation. But I'm avoiding the question right... Yes the actors were trained/shaped by Twight... I honestly dont know if they did it in SLC or not... but did they earn the right to train @ gym jones? Likely but who knows... I dont... I am willing to bet that by the end of program he put them through they did... IMO just about anyone put through that program would be "fit" enough to train @ gym jones @ the "full prescription WOD" Yeah... poking fun at at 300 is easy... yeah Twight really likes to preach... and yeah: the posturing doesnt fit with the movie. I'm okay with it. You?

gym jones

Gym Jones doesn't allow "drop ins" similar to some xfit gyms out there. I am unaware of anyone on this page that lives in SLC and has earned an invitation to train there.

Marcus is climbing there right now. Ill try to post an update when I hear from him.

In: Pete's Pile Mist Falls Tunnel Vision Starvin Marvin Basically you want stuff that is either protected from the sun (i.e. you cant see from your car) and/or stuff near where cold pockets form in the gorge (geographic features that catch the wind). Have fun and climb safe.

I told you to sale around 200 but you starting saying whining about capital gains... IMO grab some apple, intel and google stock now while its cheap... it will go back up...

Mist Falls is in. Take your goretex. Easy WI.
