That's it, you lose your d20 priviledges.

I thought that was the point of ice climbing? To get all sketched and pumped out and fearing for your life and all... man that sounds awesome! Who wants to go ice climbing? No, I'm serious, who wants to go?

Yeah well considering the conditions...

Yeah, sure you can bench 415 in the gym but we all know that's not real weight lifting... It's all about how much you can bench on a wilderness ridge in 50 mph winds and heavy snow with only a #1 stopper 30 feet below you and bla bla bla...

Voile is all function no glamour. If you want to impress peeps and spend another few hundred bucks then go for the Burton. There are also other board manufacturers who sell splitboards set up with the Voile hardware, such as Never Summer and Prior. I have the Voile and had never skied before, and I really appreciate being able to skin up instead of bootpacking. BC skiers might actually let you go on some trips with them too. If you get a splitboard, consider getting the plastic boot/plate binding setup as opposed to soft boots/straps.

did you see this: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/362683/page/0/view/collapsed/sb/5/o/all/fpart/1 Although it sounds like he needs a ride.

You could always fly there and hire your own Ecuadorian guides, if you're feeling extra adventurous. I paid $140 for a two-day guided climb on Cotopaxi, when I was living in Quito for a while. The guide service was Moggeli, and the guides were registered with ASEGUIM (translates to Association of Ecuadorian mountain Guides).

So it's around 3 miles, and most of it is bikeable. In fact if you are really aggro with the bike you can haul it another 1500 v.f. or so up the trail to the actual Rec. Area boundary, so that you can bike down the switchbacks. But for the 3 mile flat stretch, you'd probably go about three times faster with a bike so you'd save about 30+ minutes each way. That is, until they fix the road.

Are those plate bindings (fit AT boots, i.e. crampon style)? I need some plate bindings...

Yeah and that ain't powder. Believe me as a fellow boarder, I wish it were...

Maybe someone with the Matlab curve fitting tool will be kind enough to import the data and do it. Cracked, you heard the man. Get on it, colij boy. My nerd connections evaporated when I graduated.

This Mr. Dookie is one sharp noob. Mr. Dookie should hide in Pandora's pack to slow her down a little.

Yeah and it's too bad that excel can't do sine/cosine wave fits.

so bouldering is bouldering. You don't say: let's go climbing; you say: let's go bouldering. Right? So, I think because it's so important to distinguish bouldering as it's own special way of life, that we shouldn't dare call it climbing. No?

OK fine here's Layton's

um is this one gonna have sassy flava?

directions: -click on your name -click on "view all user's posts" -go to web address bar, change the "25&" part at the end to "1000&" and press enter (this is the "posts per window") -select all posts and copy -paste into excel -delete first 3 columns -make another column that starts at 1 from the bottom (earliest post) -make xy scatter plot from the two columns -add to cc.com gallery -post in thread to attain uber- status

D'oh.

Tangent Lateral thinking drift in this forum No I mean, I see him. He's f-ing big, and grey. How is that camoflage?

um. I see him.

Here we observe that unlike Dru, Cracked posts much more uniformly, with a linearity that is more precise than even the R^2 value suggests (due to the uncharacteristic lull in posts near the beginning of the data set). Conclusion: Cracked needs to go climbing.

So.... Here we have a graph of Dru's last 1000 posts, the raw data for which was extracted from here: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/dosearch.php?Cat=0&Forum=All_Forums&Name=357&Searchpage=0&Limit=1000& We can see that the over the past couple of months Dru's posting frequency has indeed been linear, with an R^2 value of 0.97 and a posting frequency of about 22 posts per day. This means that should his posting frequency maintain its linear trend, post 20,000 should occur in 21.4 days, or roughly on the morning of Tuesday, July 6th. This does not take into account the obviously visible anomalies in the data due to periods of diminished posting by Dru, presumably during weekends.

I demand visual evidence! Hey I bet a moderator could pull that stuff up.
