Increses the friction a whole bunch. It would certainly help keep you on the ground Carolyn. The outdoor equivalent would be someone taking a fall with a whole bunch of rope drag. If there's enough rope drag the belayer might not even know. It won't decrease the impact force on the rope though. It would actually increase the force on the climbers side of the rope, as less force would be transfered to the rope on the belayer side. A smaller amount of rope to absorb the impact restults in a higher fall factor. With carabiners and real rock it seems like a great way to get your rope stuck.

cuz fusion works Nuclear power is much better source of electricity than burning anything except republicans and suv drivers. I'd much rather produce waste that I know where the hell it is, then spraying it everywhere, where we have no longer have any control of it whatsoever. Think of co2/nuclear waste as poop. Which would you rather clean up? A nice solid chunk, or explosive liquid diarrhea? hydro, wind and solar are red herrings as well. Were not going to be able to get a whole lot more hydro in the US, and imho wind doesn't have the energy density and on demand availability to make it more than helpful addition to an existing power grid based on hydro/nuke/burning shit, same with solar, except last I heard the process of creating solar cells was relatively energy intensive seriously degrading their net gain.

Pink, my hat is off to you. You obviously have the appropriate level of rage, angst, self hatred, and disdain for all people not you, to propel you into becoming the next Mark Twight. of course he eventually realized that rage gets old, and got married. Cool women kick butt, I'm very glad I married one

Yes, but do you remember the question?

There is a reason we all own and wear helmets afterall.

Are you implying that I didn't have to carry the damn rope in the first place. bugger, I knew there was something wrong we she kept volunteering to carry lunch

After all, without us, who is going to chase the spiders outside, and carry the ropes?

open foot, insert damnit, one of these days I'll get that right!

It doesn't, that's the whole problem

Asshole Now your just teasing the rest of us!

Had a buddy in high school that rode his bike to school ever day of the year in Coeur D' Alene. He had studded tires on his bike Serious hard ass, who has of course since become an ice climber I'll never forget the day he was apologizing the wrestling coach for being late to practice after he got hit by a car

now is that Salame, as in asked for the head or john the baptist, or Salami, to go along with the sausage theme?

oooooh, soo sweeeetttttt, She's got a hear of ice

how about "She wasn't supposed to bite" seems to match the expression on jug heads face quite well.

Nice vent minx. Impressive form, I'll give it a 8.5. There's still room for creative use of non insulting words in an insulting manner.

It's Mike, so the list is somewhat skewed by the availability of entertainment Archie, do you offer those services every snowday?

How long until our next republican president who has a major inferiority complex because he just can't get out from under daddies shadow?

..... this might be record for most meaningful posts in reply to spam :lmao: :lmao:

I've decided your my hero Muffy!

says the man complaining and showing is ass

Have you tried doing your job? Have you tried doing your job? :yoda:

There's actually some serious concern about a polio resuurgance in India due to low vaccination rates. linkity link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15236897/

Aren't tiblocs intented for static loads only? (i.e. ascending a rope or in a pulley system?) I imagine they'd do a pretty good job shredding your rope if you took a dynamic fall on them?

Think very exposed 4th or low 5th class.

Yes but spraying well is far and away the best guarantee never to have sex again in your life. damnit, belated
