How to introduce your gf to climbing: "When the weather is nice from July through Sept, I will be climbing almost every weekend and some weekdays. Expect a trip a month or so in the winter, and two a month in the spring. This is what I love. I am mostly free in Novemeber! Get used to it. OK, gotta pack - see you Sunday night!" ;-)

Expensive watches, bling bang! You're dating yourself, think that whole oysters on a date thing is so 80's. Lame! Dirtbag alpinist chicks like sardines btw. Spartacus.

I'll be seeing a fitter, but hoped for some folks to chime in with boot x,y, and z. Coinciding a boot with a progressive sale would be awesome. If that does not work, I'll wait until next fall and pay full price if need be (I paid full price for the Mantras)

Some prefer oysters, others... ;-)

Nordica Speed Machine 8. They are a bit old. I have chicken legs - you can definitely see the achilles tendon, etc. I am currently cinching down my boots all the way on the top two buckles (which I only started to have to do this season), and am feeling a bit of slippage even when doing this. Boots are likely blown out after 6(?) seasons. Feet are on the wide side.

Hey folks, I got new Mantras this year and am looking to upgrade my boots (downhill, in-bounds) in the off-season while there are sales prices. I'd like something more responsive than my current boots. If anyone has good rec's for the mantras, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

Does this mean Nastia has finally found a victim partner for Yocum Ridge?

Fixed the subject for ya.

being awake is over-rated

I could write up something about getting kids out on long hikes and non-technical summits (scrambles). Climbing is still a work in progress (we mostly just do the gym)

Human factors can indeed play a huge role and are worth study and repeated review.

You're next! ;-) One down, one to go btw, the fat guy is actually the youngest (Wolfgang)

Minx, still waitin' for your tour date appearance at the new Stone Gardens on the east side...

Yeah, tell Ron that 'bone has an even bigger hard-on for him than for Diamond Dave!

It depends on whether or not it's close between Obama and anybody on his right. From the way things are shaping up right now, i'd vote 3rd party (Green, Justice,..), especially if Obama and hill Dems keep selling their constituency down the river ( latest example) Close? Obama will win WA state. You can write-in Trotsky if you'd like and it will make no difference

Their best album is VH1, but I find this album fits between vh1 and vh2 better than anywhere else chronologically/stylistically. I may rank it at #2 given some time.

Well, I like a lot of music, so I tend to cast my net wide. Some older bands put out lackluster stuff or just shit, and some stuff sounds great. This CD falls in the latter category(for me). The new VH will be great tunes for yard work, power hikes up Mailbox, and pumping iron at the gym at least. :-)

I've got every Beatles record on CD. Honestly, I listen to VH more than them, not to say VH gets in the iPod queue as often as other bands.

за здоров'я!

come on over and I'll pour you a dram of your fav...

ni hao ma!

How dangerous is clucking? I mean statistically-speaking, as compared to each activity involved in it separately?
