So a photo on rockclimbing.com inspired me to experiment with stereo photography. Basically you just take two photos of something, with about 3 or 4 inches lateral difference, but focused on the same point. Then you line the images up side by side and cross your eyes to see the 3d image. I was thinking about doing this for mountains and rock routes. Has anyone tried that (outdoor shots)?

Isn't there a poll about this? http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=340541

:whimper: I gave a suggestion...

Neon Spandex freaks beware!! heheheh

It's really committing because I lose like half of all my skin and blood if I bail.

Run everybody! It's "Climbing" Magazine and they want to turn your favorite route into Disneyland for gumbies!! I'd like to say NE Ridge of Triumph, but I haven't done it yet... (snow, jumped the gun)

Well I'm keeping this one secret for now, I don't want just anybody trying to send when I'm not around...

SO dude, I was like gonna dyno to this righteous two-finger pocket but I just couldn't stick the slopers, I kept getting shut down by this blind crimper. So I can't tell you what the V-rating is, hopefully next week I get a little farther.

You don't need to be a "baby" to be cradle-robbed, just way younger than the one trying to get witchyou. Actually I thought babies have a high fat %? BTW I'm not dissing on Cracked, I'm just sayin, there's lot of fish in the sea, and lots of em are old and hungry. heheheh.

heheh... Cracked aren't you behaving yourself? Dang alls you gots to do is sit back and get cradle-robbed!

Not sure I want to see it... I don't want my "radical" left-wing views to be upstaged!

Man you "seasoned" dudes know all the tricks, don't you?

Or I take that back Gotterdamerung said he's in Iraq didn't he?

Sorry, it's just that every time I see Saddam on TV I get lost in his dreamy eyes and long to curl up in his shaggy beard. Hey you know what's funny, none of us know shit about Iraq except what the media wants us to. So it's quite possible that we can say whatever the hell we want and all be equally FOS.

Hey, who's got my back here. I thought this place was full of moonbats... JoshK?

http://www.wsws.org/articles/2004/may2004/guan-m21.shtml http://www.globalpolicy.org/wtc/analysis/2003/0326gua.htm Look, they're torturing people over in the US, AND their last election was rigged. Guess we better go invade and save the people from their evil leader!!

That's because Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, like it or not, were popular in their countries and strongly supported by everyone around them. It takes more than one single leader to do anything, evil or otherwise. It takes all those around him to support it. And if an entire country supports the actions of a their leader, like it or not the supporting country is not going to deem those actions evil. The truth is, bad leaders do fall. If they stray too far from the wishes of their country they get THE AXE. Of course in the USA we like to believe that all bad leaders fall because we say so. That's just our egocentric view of things. What I'm saying is if the Iraqi people thought that Saddam Hussein was a bad evil man, somebody would have killed him. So you have believe one of two things: either Saddam Hussein wasn't a homocidal lunatic, or the entire country is full of homocidal lunatics. Clearly there are those who believe the latter. But I'd like to believe that the Iraqi people are as morally intelligent as a good number of other nations. And these people chose to support a leader, granted who did some bad things. However they were satisfied enough not to revolt, which means by any political theory that his leadership should not have been fucked with on any grounds that he was a bad leader. We went to war on Iraq because we want to maintain our influence in the region, show our strength, and maybe even get some cheap oil in the process. Terrorists and evil leaders were just excuses.

Not sure I'd say "nice," but I don't think he was the homocidal lunatic they wanted us to believe, because if that were true, one of his own people would have killed him a long time ago. All this "the people liked him because they were afraid..." Ahem. How afraid are they when they walk up to heavily armed soldiers and start letting loose? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Well I think it's more of a promoter of evolution. In the wild, a male must prove his fitness to mate through feats of strength and beauty... while in our human society, where intelligence and dexterity are more highly valued, it is the male's ability to conquer complex tasks, that proves his genetic suitability.

WHAT?! I just went to check... yeah, they are still there. Whew! Don't scare me like that!

We made a traverse from the bottom of the actual chutes at 7800', left around the nose of a ridge and then angling up on moderate snow slopes to a steep snow finger and a tiny amount of rock scrambling at the end. It put us a few hundred feet below the Lunch Counter. I do believe that we couldn't have done it any better because our bivy was around 9000 feet, on one of the last rocky spots before the Lunch Counter. For the next couple of weeks it will still be almost all on snow so I highly recommend exiting this way unless you're just doing the whole thing from the car.

You mean the child safety tamperproof mechanisms? Lots of em are designed to prolong foreplay I think.

heheheh. "Yeah, I'm just feel soooooo guilty that my parents are paying private college tuition to a school named after a logging barron, that I have to make up for it by wearing all second-hand clothes and drinking the cheapest beer possible..."

I don't know what to say. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable climbing with someone who doesn't drink PBR. Course, that's why I always try to have a half-rack in the trunk, that way we can get things straight, before my life depends on it.

Yeah cragging is a little different, it's pretty much a controlled environment with easy backout potential. So I'd say perfect for finding out what kind of climber someone is. I've done that on lots of occasions.
