  1. Arapahoe Basin Colorado - 13,050 feet Breckenridge Colorado - 12,998 Copper Mt Colorado - 12,313 Keystone Colorado - 12,200 They don't call it summit county for nothing. This area was once a pristine wilderness. I doubt a few lifts on the southside of Adams will have half the environmental impact as many other places have seen, which is exactly what the supporters of this plan will say. But we're supposed to learn from our mistakes, not downscale them.
  2. I found this interesting even though the U.S. doesn't have socialized healthcare. HERE
  3. I don't think that will be necessary if this statement is correct
  4. This may be true, but I do get pumped and motivated for November by reading the Spray Aug,Sept,Oct. Keep on spraying Cracked

    I got banned from co-rec for smacking a ref. I realize now that physical intimidation doesn't work when trying to change a ref's decision. A guy on one of my teams did the same thing, and got 2 years probation, mega community service, huge fine, criminal record, oh and he got banned from the league. And I think someone keyed his car. You definatly came out better.
  6. Are you kidding. This is a great thread.. 40+ guys threatening ass kicking. Reminds me of my days on the Pipeline in El Centro.
  7. Here are a few. Arc'Teryx Jackets in Medium.. Not the one you are looking for though, but cheap Theta Lt Javelin AR This is my jacket of choice for riding. Stowable hood, so doesn't mess with helmet. Minuteman SV Screaming deal, but only Small left. I got the XL Good luck!
  8. I wonder how you pronounce "Kaka" ..anyways.. A+ on the fresh snow. I'm a ready to ride.
  9. How many of these did you have?
  10. I don't know where it was assumed I was a crazy soloist. I was adding my opinion on climbing & it's risks. And I agree RuMR, well put Pope.. There are many experiences in life even more satisfying than high-risk climbing.. To put it further, there are things in my life more satisfying that climbing at all. That is why I do try to be safe while climbing. And it did take me a long time to figure this out. I have been climbing many years "dog years" and I also found in life, you can't hold other ppl back just because you aren't willing to accept the same risks. How about a 3rd F bomb Merv, censored you But I will give a on your post.. I did enjoy the commentary, and He-Man figure.
  11. I feel Dechristo was polite and used tact in stating his opinion. You also made the choice to post your opinion. Now I am posting mine. You can temper your own censored adventures, and live "long and healthy" for other ppl. This is a climbing forum! Not a quilting society.. Who are you to tell me how to live my own life. It's cool with me if you want to make your mom feel good knowing that her son is safe and sound with a censored spotter, crash pad, and altimeter at the local crag, but expect a reply if you push that on me. censored to remove F word
  12. It appears that you have made judgement on what type of climbing Dechristo does. I believe the subject was of a bouldering fall aprx. 20' up. I have bailed on boulders from that high up and have been fine. Not to say, a small change could have occured "in the same fall" resulting in serious injury. So do I set up limitations? When skiing, do I skip the kicker that is begging for me to hit it. Because if I don't, I run the risk of injury, creating the need for someone to wipe my ass? Wally made a post. In the post he included his opinion. Dechristo puts his opinion here. And finally Pope. You post your Sentiments Here. How did bouldering get to "self-absorbed soloing mission" And BTW, my mom has been wiping my ass since I was born. Bike crashes, Bee stings, "drowning", falling off a cliff, etc. etc. etc. I doubt she wishes in any way that I had been "more thoughfull of her having to take care of me" in what I do in life.
  13. Are you saying you were in for 8 years, and never made E5?
  14. Good to hear someone is keeping up on their "Oprah Book Club"
  15. Don't underestimate "el Cheapos". After having an bad ankle sprain last summer, those where all I could wear in the mountains, "except maybe ski boots" that allowed me to walk confidently without the fear of re-rolling it. I actually got pretty used to them, and ended up summiting many a high crag in them. Just sucks when the front catches and folds under so you catch air and eat trail dust in front of 25 3rd grader girls. Not to worry, I kicked everyone of their asses.
