I resulted in a lifespan expectancy of 101 years. Funny enough, that's about right for my family.

So I'm short and scrunchy.

small fingers help--it's fun, but a quick hit

Looking for another female to climb with this afternoon/evening. Anyone going to be out there?

I'll bring the mulch

Kangaroo Corner at Squamish. Maybe cuz its short (no offense RumR) but it sure doesn't feel like an 11a.

Agreed, they copied everything but the name and the quality it appears. It makes you wonder what kind of testing and liability issues they would have if say.....hmmm, that center bar was accidently not heat treated so that instead of Rockwell 48-52 or whatever the hell it should be, it came in at RC38 and failed at 1200 lbs, which, come to think of it, is approx. my lard-assed weight in a 2 foot fall with 5' of rope out. I think I'm gonna by me one of those nut tools though. 12"......., damn, I've always wanted 12". I'm doing it right now. Liability issues? Can you imagine trying to take them to court?

I retire a climbing rope after two years and any haul line, cleaning rope, whatever, after four. This is no magic number, it is just what I feel comfortable with. I suppose ropes fail occasionally, but that danger is considerably smaller than others you face while climbing. Nonetheless, I know that I don't want thoughts of rope failure on my mind, so I change out ropes pretty frequently. I have also retired a rope just because it was looking frayed after only a few uses. I know that is was only superficial and didn't affect the core or the overall integrity of the rope in a substantial way, but it gave me the willies and distracted me. It was a Beal, and I will not buy another one--even though other folks have had Beals and liked them just fine. that's my thoughts on that even though I have nothing scientific to back it up with.

I *have* wanted this climb for years. How flexible is flexible? Do you live in Vegas? How are you at chimney climbing? Do you have good beta for the top-out after the 18th pitch and the stagger downhill?

and this concludes our botany lesson for today. thanks for coming, bye bye.

Now that's funny.

Yeah, especially after seeing how they get produced!

I don't understand this viewpoint. "Supremacy of a particular group" has not, historically, been detirmined by who has the most members in that group. There were more Carthiniagins than Romans. More Africans than Afrikaners, more Indians than Britons, and more Natives than Pilgrims. also, I don't get where the speaker thinks "Muslim fundamentalists" (by this I assume he is refering to Islamic fundamentalists) are the ones who first thought that they could become more powerful, or at least survive, by producing more young. Islamic funamentalism hasn't really been around all that long in the overall picture of things. Of course the two quotes from opposite sides sound "Strangely alike", that call has gone on for millenia among many groups. What is the rub?

The Latin version leaves out all the juicy parts. I much prefer the Navaho translation. Well, technically the Latin work is not a "version" because it is the original. But Navaho is cool--smoke signals and stuff, right?

I hope to be at the meeting as well--see you there.

Toilet + Orange Juice = Thank goodness that her VAGINA is blurred out--that would have just been gross if we'd seen it.

that's fresh

Yeah, the last one is the eye in "I hate you", right?

Are you allowed to piggyback on someone else's TR?

I think it might take two people...

With a name like Dick Bain, I can only imagine what he imagines the marmots are doing to his pussy cat.

so I take it you didn't have the 100 points to spare. Just kidding, lighten up--this isn't a serious site.

You will pay for your sins.

you?
