  1. sounds pretty cool. it will be interesting to see how it holds up experimentally. i tried reading the real paper, but had a very hard time making it much further than the intro.
  2. www.engrish.com
  3. kucinich > richardson > edwards although obama/hillary would be higher if it wasnt for their gay marriage stances
  4. maybe a tank top with a built in brossiere - just kidding
  5. doh, panther beat me to it. but i didnt google cheat.
  6. this sounds like a detective challenge. something about inane way you post suggests to me you are lizard_brain. Am I right? additional detective work reveals:
  7. thanks for the show mike. i learned a lot from the how to climb segment.
  8. Thanks for the explanation Marlene. A few springs ago I attempted go cat go, but was unwilling to commit to the moves below the roof where the only pro I could find were some small (but good I think) nuts. I had been hoping for sometime to go back and climb the route in it's entirety. I am sure it is a very fun sport climb, but vantage has enough sport climbs and perhaps not enough high quality moderate mixed gear routes with challenging but adequate pro. I was upset to see the bolts, knowing I would never have the chance again to climb the route in its prior state. BTW, thanks for all the hard work you guys put in out there.
  9. there is a long standing tradition of rating boulder problems, particularly crack problems, with yds grades in some parts of the US (montana, wyoming, etc). If local ethics in rodellar support a similar approach, why not just accept it.
  10. you are in good company:
  11. Each print is signed and numbered by an artist and is part of a limited edition series of 250,000. Once these are gone, there won't be any more for awhile. Don't hesitate to own this inspiring work!
  12. While googling some art for my house, I came across this artist - http://www.jonaskaskade.com/aboutkaskade.html His work is amazing and his dedication enviable. "I saw a flock of sheep one day, grazing in the mountain meadows, with the mighty Mount Rainier in the background, and thought of our Savior and how much he might like living there, in an English cottage near an ice-capped volcano, with the disciples coming over for breakfast and coffee, just like in the Bible or something." - J. Kaskade
  13. from when I last researched boots, i recall the nepal having something like twice the insulation of the extreme.
  14. or you could ask this guy for help:
  15. on this site, if you scroll down to frenchman coulee and follow the links, there is a very nice pdf guidebook. http://wenatcheeoutdoors.com/ it is divided into separate sections example: http://www12.digimktg.com/woo/PDFArticles/VantageG-Sunshine.pdf
  16. i blame the mountain goats. they drink from the upper lake and pee in the lower lake.
  17. sounds like reverse flash flooding. very common really
  18. crap, must be a leak
  19. like for shaft plunging? actually, compared to quarks with a pinky rest, i think in certain conditions x-monsters do plunge better. Better spike and pretty narrow cross section.
  20. not sure what other confirmation you need. i saw the bolts and powderx saw them being installed.
  21. The x monsters are very fun to climb on, but their picks are still a bit thick for delicate ice. On mixed they are fun, but it takes some time to get used to the lateral springiness. For the money, especially on sale, they are good tools. I also think in many ways think they are better than my quarks for alpine.
  22. no first hand knowledge, but I'd guess that sunny or windy walls should be fine. Walls with lots of seepage above might be damp in places, as might walls in the woods.
