Damnit, your no fun! Your not nearly dogmatic or hidebound enough to torment

probably smaller hind quarters as well.

Agreed, the devout bit doesn't mean much. I still don't think there is any more proof that there is no God, than there is proof that God exists. Everyone is looking at the same set of facts, but it all boils down to how they are interpreted. Of course you could probably argue that the simple act of belief in God by anyone at anytime would fulfill the definition of "exist".

friggin bible thumpers! not the devout atheists are a whole lot better. Both religions are completely based on fundamentally unsupportable assumptions.

Is there any ice near by? Mrs. Selkirk and I are going to be down over Xmas but it seems a bit chilly for rock TIA

I'm putting together a tele set up and was wondering if anyone has experience with the Voile Hardwire CRB's? Seems like a great price point, and the only down side might that they don't tour as well unless you get the 3 pin compatible version? Will primarily be for resort skiing, and driving a set of Kahru Kodiaks with some older T1's. Also, how hard are they to mount? I'm reasonably handy but have never mounted bindings and would hate to screw up a new pair of boards. TIA

Somebody sounds like a Mazama

Well said. Maybe a more important question is.....is it possible to be pro-life and pro-choice at the same time. Only if you accept that you can both think it's awful thing, but not be so arrogant and self righteous that you are willing to inflict your opinions and beliefs on others

God damnit I need to be unemployed!

I don't like projecting so probably no more than 2 or 3 goes before getting a route clean. I always thought I learned more by climbing a variety of stuff than long term projecting.

That made my day!

Ok, that doesn't count. I have to work monday too

Is anybody else working today? I'm sick and tired of working weekends god damnit!!!!

What he said. The Quark Ergo's are great tools

Is there any way to correct those electronic body fat scales?

It will be interesting to see how she does in the debates.

the book "How to climb 5.12" has some similar comments. For me it boiled down to the best training for climbing is climbing. Climb lots, climb variety, climb near your limit. Projecting to submission at or above your upper limit is not as effective for overall improvement as getting mileage on a greater variety at or near your limit. Strength training wasn't even recommended until your trying to push into 5.11+ range, and even then your better off with focused training (to work on your weaknesses). Bulk strength also has little do with good footwork or creative resting/problem solving which always seems to get me further than pulling harder.

Ok, now that's just not fair to the rest of us stuck in Seattle for the week

Fun climb, with surprisingly good gear

not to be a pill but Mark, does your wife lead everything she climbs? I know mine doesn't. She loves to get out climbing, but would much rather belay and follow or TR routes. After some rough experiences during her first few leads her headspace is very poor, though she's slowly working on it. Does that mean that She shouldn't have the opportunity to climb? I guess one of the basic questions is, "Is leading more valuable than top roping?" such that everyone should only climb what they can lead? Or does the individual who loves climbing but doesn't lead, have less right to a route than someone who will lead it? Sieging climbs and not letting others in in BS though I don't mind people stringing a TR, but at least be willing to pull it to let other parties climb.

I think I see where you're going with this one, but I would posit that warm chocolate and/or caramel sauces would work better than frosting in this regard... well someone has to fill in during Archie's hiatus

Seriously! How did Mr. Selkirk make it out of the 2nd grade without knowing that? For a true frosting connoisseur Candles are horribly inefficient vehicle for frosting delivery! Mrs. Selkirk swears by two spoons, one for the frosting, one for the peanut butter And if your going to be inefficient, then you should probably have more fun with your frosting than candles could provide.
