No.

Someone's on their spray game today! Give us another one!

damnit!

Or Central market. All foods are just a vehicle for chocolate though. How do you think mole' developed?

just what every new, hip, bouldering chick needs. Seriously sytlin handbags and accessories!

Nope, I managed to miss it. What were were you dressed up as though?

I didn't realize you had been climbing more than a couple of years. A full tape job is indicated for certain routes (e.g. Royal Flush) or for multi-day climbing trips to preserve skin (a week in the creek), or for certain rock types (handcracks at Josh). Taping to support tendons while gym climbing is at least psychologically beneficial and maybe even physically. Tape is aid. This thread will go for 6 pages. I've only been lead climbing and throwing gear for 2 years. But I was roped up and climbing for the first time 23 years ago and have been futzing around with cracks and tape for 5 or 6 years

That's a very well trained dog!

In southern Idaho, they actually used to renew people licenses by mail. Which seems like a good idea. Of course they also renewed my great-grandfathers drivers liscense by mail when he 96 (might have been 98?), could only see out of one eye and was deaf as a doornail.

After climbing without tape for a couple of years, you learn how to place your hands softly as well, and not to trash them. If I were out for a long, multiday crack climb I probably would but for 2 or 3 days with some recovery time afterwords the minor scrapes and rubs heal fine. Well, that, and chicks dig scars so...

As memory serves you lowering increases the force on the anchor by a factor of 1.6 (when compared to a simple rap). Rapping has 1/2 your bodyweight on each strand. Lowering has your bodyweight on each of the strands (roughly).

Can we bolt pope? Give DFA the shot at the FA? I imagine with all those bulges and slopers it could be challenging.

all smooth and shiny and ready for floor hockey.

So that's where you spend all your time spraying from. Do they have wifi up on that lofty summit where you seem to live?

Just ask Archie... I bet she'd demonstrate at the next pubclub.

Yeah, that's definitely true. But chicks dig it so I don't mind

A friends commetns was that he had never climbed any other place where 5.5 climbs had a crux!

It's ok Muffy, your allowed to climb

You should really leave the climbing to those of us who suck at spray

I'd like to die by having a heart attack induced by a long fall climbing when i'm a nice ripe 80 or 85.

yep, it's officially inane

Let him have and spread his opinion. It means fewer wankers in the alpine!

I don't think it's officially inane until either Olyclimber or MisterE weigh in, so you should be safe for another post or two.

Maybe just a little like a sheepskin lined leather vest?

Hey, i'm sure those are very usefull... for climbing... deep dirty offwidths?
