or by switching to a cat o nine.

This is a good point. Of course, I am usually not to happy to watch a bunch of fat fucks meandering around a good climb. But to each his own.

I agree as well, except about not climbing where visitors can see you b/c they don't want to. When I have climbed in Zion, I have woken up to throngs taking pictures of us in the portaledge and whatnot. I've had people stop me on the approach and asked to take pictures of a couple of fools so laden with gear that we look like we are ready for WW3. I think in general, people are facinated by climbers. I think its natural to be curious and intrigued by other people's activities in nature. I know that I get a thrill watching kayakers go by, even if they do scare the fish.

I'll take that challenge and raise you one. You also have to mention that you joined the immigrant walk out last week.

Don't be a hater, doesn't fit with your new personality.

Didn't someone recently put out a guidebook on local "urban" climbing?

all these PNW climbers and not one comment about bad coffee? Mountain Hardmen.

low whip?

I'm goin

The mech's at Gilmours are absolutely awesome. They are not cheap though. But you can go in and talk with them and they will only work on exactly what you want them to. They are totally knowledgeable and straightforward. Folks (myself included) trust them with classics, showcars, project cars and the like. I bring my regular old truck to them too--I figure if I trust my show car to them, I trust my truck to them. they are on 15th and 70ish. It's worth a chat with them even if you decide thier labor is too expensive.

Size does matter

Right on Wiyno!

I like the new you

hmmm...proper term is "shit-for-brains"...duh I think that only applies post-lobotomy.

I haven't had a problem with a checked stove. A new one in a package is great on the way there, but how would you get it home?

I also like guys who openly admit to being a shithead.

how was it? I was afraid it turned out soggy.

He just sticks a parrot on the end.

no comment on the bird thing though...

I like a man who wields a sword but keeps a firearm handy just in case...

nice! I am always impressed by what people can adapt to.

What a great accomplishment. Congratulations. DeChristo would approve.

Lobotomies are much more affordable in Thailand, eh?

I'll get right on that.
