  1. what face..? North
  2. agreed, but with twins or halfs you can always just use a single..cant the other way around..I suppose if you have the loot buy all three if you can. he did say
  3. what happens if you need to bail..emergency, weather..? raps are all 30 m?
  4. so now youve got a single alpine rope, which is fairly pointless since you most often need two, its 2 pounds heavier, takes 2/3 less falls and cost the same as two ropes..? I love my twins
  5. pretty sure blackcomb closed over a month ago..little late for that one
  6. quote]following on the checked baggage side of things, he mentioned that one proposal that TSA is seriously floating is limiting each passenger to one checked bag (no sporting equipment, i.e. skis, bikes, golf clubs etc). I can see it now, no more flights for whistler, banff, and Vail customers...
  7. ya smarter would be to say well they wont try that again.. or they can ban everything..I dont think rope is a far stretch as a banned carry on item..seems reasonable to me same as pretty much anything on my rack...
  8. just wait till january and pm me, in the mean time see if you cant find some folks to head to the baker seracs with..I think fishstick lives in them seracs maybe give him a PM see you in a few months
  9. Even after you checked your bags..? bet that would delay the flight why would you try and board a flight with rope as a carry on?
  10. YOU ROCK THE NATION ARCH
  11. Hey who wants to go to lillooet, ill pay the gas if you do the leadin...?
  12. the climb is one hard move 5 feet off the ground then its 30 feet of 5.0 climbing...and the start isnt even the same since the dirt is so eroded..kinda like crime of the century..
  13. see the difference all those dots at the end of your sentences actually mean something its like morse code Men are easy and women are ......
  14. you just cant say it any better than that
  15. Careful, Dru said it was fun not that it wasnt bushy, loose and dirty...
  16. Cause Jabberwocky sucks so bad, they bail on the BEST pitch in the bluffs. People should be doing Old age-Sparkys-wonderland to take some traffic of the original connecttion
  17. Just one more reason to never have a climbing girlfriend....too much
  18. maybe it has something to do with the record high temps we have had this summer, last seen about 8 years ago...
  19. ya I just read that as well, weird that people dont know that what they are using is a belay device and that an ATC, Figure 8's, Reverso's...are types of those. I cant believe the Ranger would say that, unless I am completly mistaken on this terminology.
  20. A reverso I thought, not an ATC..? if she was using a twin rope on a reverso...then she was using the device in a way the manufacturer never designed it for as it says only for half or single ropes.
  21. Considering the web site says 8mm is fine for the reverso..shouldnt there be either a recall or some sort of saftey bulletin issued? or did she not have it set up properly..or was she using a twin..? any idea?
  22. least "friends" and cams look the same...
  23. Really...? I have been using a regualr ATC since I started climbing and I pretty much only climb on twins and halfs.. in fact Black diamond says the ATC is good to 7.7mm... Black Diamond just the regular 18 dollar ATC 7.7-11mm
