edit: alright fine I'll play nice

Yeah I'm guilty of exagerating. But come on I only said "slightly hysterical", lighten up guys... So anyway, back to the avalanche discussion...

Well thanks, but we already knew it was easy if you are female... Well the steps are mostly correct but it's more like this: a) see chica, think about striking up a conversation... b) happen to be in the same place for a while, think about additional being in the same place at the same time... c) repeat d) see "c" Or if you're at the crag it's more like this: a) see hot chica, see her 7 boyfriends. Strike up a conversation, become annoyed as one of 7 seven boyfriends inevitably takes over conversation and talks about his sends, if he likes you he suggests that you belay him on his "project." b) see hot chica, try to climb with hot chica, get annoyed because either 1) she sucks and spends 10 minutes hanging for each minute climbing, or 2) she's way better than you, making you feel all cold and tiny...

You misunderstand me. I think we are lucky that Gary Brill is willing to share his knowledge with us, and I agree with what he is saying. I bear no ill will to Gary Brill, I just think saying that the entire snowpack is going to avalanche off of the mountain is a little "hysterical" as in, exhibiting a quality of hysteria. That's why I added that little note, so that people didn't think I was calling his post "funny." I don't think it is funny at all, this is a serious matter. So sorry for ruffling feathers.

A guy (Gary Brill) says on telemarktips.com: Which sounds slightly hysterical (to use the term correctly for once), but may hold some truth... edit: Gary Brill is not "hysterical" and he knows a lot about avalaches and snowpack analysis

Cracked you better do sumpin cuz your friend is making my buns feel uncomfortable.

It's because my sweet climber-buns are not public domain!

Someone's going to have to explain to me the origin of animosity between cracked and distel. Clearly it goes beyond photo-onslaughtage? I'm a relative noobie here, what did I miss? Da bouldering is good training for sport climbing, la sport climbing is good training for trad climbing, el trad climbing is good training for alpine climbing, The alpine climbing is good training for straight-up just soloing, the straight-up just soloing is just bouldering but too easy to fall off of. You see, it's da big stankin cirle-of-life shizizzly, ok now group hug time.

!chucha que guapa huevon! Va a estar alli? Ya vengo.

Well now I'm not so sure about the 1 hour deal (assuming it is indeed 3600 feet). Sounds like it's time for some showdown.

on the topo it looks like it starts at 600 ft, top is 4167. So about 3570 ft. But I'm not familiar with the hike so I could have picked out the wrong trail.

--edited to remove brainfart--

Wow people still do power cleans? What gym lets you do that? They made us do it back in HS. Nothing like making yourself dizzy and almost passing out than a solid set of power cleans...

Yeah or maybe I'll be forced into 2-year bivy by a sprained ankle...

Well shit I guess I better start climbing harder to I can seriously screw up some part of my body before they get a chance to use it to kill their "enemies"... "keep your guns off my body!" or something...

Especially if there are some hot bouldering photos, besides some bearded dude on some overhang!

This is not SPRAY! It's BOULDERING, and it deserves to be in the Rock Climbing Forum even it doesn't involve ropes and carrying 20 lbs of expensive shiny gear!!

Hueco Tanks, apparently. Probably can't go wrong anywhere in California, either...

I'm sorry Distel you just can't make bouldering look THIS good: yeah I pirated the photo from rockclimbing.com...

dangit Paul why do you keep posting my sweet ass all over cc.com!

I post -5 biatch!

OK, d=0.5*a*t^2 so t^2=2d/a (1) and v=at so v^2=a^2*t^2 and t^2=V^2/a^2 (2) equate (1) and (2) you get 2d/a=V^2/a^2 which simplifies to 2d=V^2/a so V^2=2ad and V=(2ad)^0.5

I'm using the funky eq. V^2 = Vo^2 + 2ad where Vo = 0
