    Motorcycle crashes

    OMG...

     

    Dude, I've always wanted a crotch rocket, but jeeze that looks like an amazingly un-cool way to die...

     

    Heh heh-that's what riders say about climbers freezing to death.

    Cro Cop gets ROCKED!

    MMA is no different than boxing or any other combat sport, and certainly no less violent than the 5 o'clock news. Kids are injuring themselves more emulating WWE and hitting each other over the head with folding chairs. That shits lame.

     

    I thought Cro Cop was gonna kick his ass, too.

    Good god. The only thing dumber than the gas law is people who get bent out of shape over it. "mommy, please can I have my hands smell like gasoline and stand outside in the wind? Please?"

    What qualifies as a 'summit?'

    in Spray

    Posted

    Interesting question. FWIW I was talking to a climbing ranger at Muir a couple of years ago, and he told me he ran up to the summit and back to Muir seven times in one day. He technically reached the summit seven times - but I don't think he would ever claim to have climbed the mountain seven times that day.

    What kind of ROPE should I buy?

    If you're looking for a glacier rope, you don't even need a "single" rope. For 3 people, a 50m/60m 8/8.5 works great. If you use a skinny rope you might have to play with your prusiks to make them stick. Your current rope will work also, but a 10.5 will get super heavy when it gets wet.

     

    Based on this, I am probably underqualified to comment on gear selection.

     

    You can say that again yelrotflmao.gif

    Winter driving to Canmore?

    in Ice Climbing Forum

    I agree the best way to Canmore in the winter is up through Sandpoint, Idaho. Roger's Pass the winter can get pretty crazy. Going from Radium to Banff can get pretty exciting too. Along with all the other advice, a full size spare tire would be a good thing as well.

     

    And make sure your car is in good working order. I had to wait in Radium for three days while a $70 dollar part had to be shipped there from Calgary!
