In a pinch, I've used a Petzl Shunt in the past, but this looks like a good unit.

...or, Horn Spring Canyon, Colorado. We drove a Range Rover for a couple of years. A guy I worked with said that he thought we were probably part of the .01% of owners who actually needed one to get home.

pfffffft. poseurs Five years ago, I did 25 peaks, all over 12,000', in four days, in a traverse of a range. where's that chestbeat graemlin?

Friday - Gigged with a keyboard-player/singer who shared housing, toured, recorded, and got in plenty of trouble back in the '70's with folks like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Leon Russell, Van Morrison, etc. He's half Crow and a raging alcoholic, but, damn, he's got chops and mad musical skills. The additions of a good drummer and a talented sax-player made for a fine group and a great time. Saturday - Walked around the property with a couple of beautiful young women (my daughters) checking out the crazy variety of amazingly beautiful wildflowers...the Blue Flag Iris are just starting to bloom at this elevation (7,600'). Kicked up some deer, then later, some elk a quarter mile away. Sunday - Bid adieu to the daughters and installed four sets of entry locksets and deadbolts in some entry doors to be installed in a house at 11,300' elevation in the next few days. Listened to the Ratatat album "Classics" while doing the work in my shop. Edit: Fenderfour, I ate ALL of an Angus hamburger the size of my head (w/bacon) before the gig Friday. In keeping with my Scottish heritage of frugality (and gluttony), I usually don't eat lunch the day of a gig since I eat and drink for free later at the gig.

The 25th X 2 and 21rst X 4 (daughters) invaded yesterday. We partied hardy last night, playing Scabble and Pictionary with the music blastin. Then, watched Basquiat until 2:30AM. They're cleanin' my house today! WooHoo!

If I live, this will be my 28th (Father's Day) X 1 25th X 2 23rd X 3 21rst X 4 and 2nd as a Grandfather Glad of it

Quite a Father's Day gift for you, potentially.

because they put addictive chemicals in it that make you crave it at night.

I could not be more surprised that the nation-wide media reported on this falsely.

Not my experience. I was thrown in jail and charged with three counts: Public Drunkeness, Resisting Arrest, and Public Disturbance. The arresting officer and I both stood before the judge and gave our testimonies. After which, I was found innocent of the first two charges (which I was actually quite guilty of: it took six cops to get me onto the hood of a cop car) and plead guilty to the third - I admitted to the judge that I'd told the cop to "go fuck yourself", which constituted Public Disturbance. which reminds me... stopped at the border entering Canucklandia a couple of years ago, I was asked if I'd ever been arrested or convicted, at which time I'd totally forgotten about this episode. Of course, they checked on their magic-box-computer and I came up clean. I remembered the truth a few miles (I mean, kilometers) inside The Great White North. Which left me to wonder, how far back do their records go?

didn't the mayor's murderer get an acquital with this as his defense?

did you get all hopped-up on Twinkies?

surprising. I'd have guessed you were more than half baby
