all i can say is that offwhite should really really be ashamed of himself for this level of bullying. grave-robbers are much more sensitive than commonly believed. in fact, they are seemingly about the most sensitive individuals on the planet. or at cc.com at least. but, i digress. what we were really talking about was the kabbalah. or is it cabbala? no one seems to have come up with a definitive spelling. it has something to do with the old testament though. and care bears.

That youtube video... Burdo says something like that about the filter pitches. maybe it used to be X, before he added bolts.... when we climbed it, i'd say there was a bit of PG type 5.9 runout up high on the route, approaching the big roof. everything else seemed well protected, either with gear or bolts.

where'd ya hear about 5.11 x pitches?

climbed it maybe 5 years ago? really good route. yeah and Full Tilt (crux pitch of tempest) was given straight up 5.12, and other feed-back seems to confirm.

ok ok i read your original post and it didn't have anything to do with what you learned, only stating that someone might learn something.... my bad. just a case of miscommunication, that's all! wires crossed. misunderstandings.

i do believe a walnut is bigger than an almond. how's the count-down going?

BS.... no man, i know i've flung poo, but i was curious about your learning. i couldn't figure out what it was, so i asked. like, was it that you learned what kinda shoes he wears, or that he tries hella hard, or he keeps truckin, or yells a lot, or what. or that the euros shout a lot of encouragement and speak european. i don't know what it is, and you are playing coy. i am simply curious, sincerely.

yes, right in front of my very eyes, many times, and still wanting to know what you learned from the vid. i'm not testing you here, just genuinely interested. i wouldn't be asking if you hadn't mentioned it.

come on man, i wanna know what you learned from this vid.

yea seen that vid. nice. but i'd be like be shuttin up with the venga venga vamos vamos please yo now. btw, what was the biggest thing you learned from that vid?

vanishing point isn't 12+, more like 12a or b. liberty crack went free at 13-, if i remember right.

ahh yes, the reason for the crystal clarity. are there any lesser priced HD's that take pretty damn good instead of damn good footage that you know of?

i think the above says it well, at least for chronic heavy use. but, anything in moderation! as far as the psychosis goes.... i personally think that whatever one is using plays on the current state or condition of the user, so if one is "pre-disposed" due to a variety of factors, then pot (or acid, or mushrooms etc) can set ya off. i personally don't think it's the drug per se, just the state of the user.

i hope you realize that alcohol impairs the ability to keep track of time....

sounds ala Earth or Sunno))))....

what sort of camera machine was used to film this sickness. it looks all clear and pretty.

interesting to me that a house in that area went for 310 at the peak.

what neighborhood is that?

hey i won't argue about the attrocity that is today's spec house. looks like hell and what's up with the pastel colors? is it the rule that you're suposta make em look absolutely as terrible as possible? my argument is that, unfortunately, they're gonna look just as damn ugly 50 years down the road, cuz the shit they're built with will, unfortunately, last. do routine paint maintenance on the cementitious faux wood siding, hardiplank, and i guarantee you it'll out-last any old growth cedar shake siding (which is hard to get nowadays anyway). our apt bldg is sided in t-111, and it's still going strong over 30 years later. and our house, built in '08, has places of dry rot on the original siding cuz of previous poor paint maintenance.

the idea that houses were built better "in the olden days" in terms of materials and craftsmanship is a silly generalization at best. yeah old growth (as an example) tends to be a stronger and more stable material than second or third growth (big deal: the structural parts are generally over-built anyways), but galvie or iron pipes aren't, knob and tube aren't, old skool elec panels aren't, asbestos and lead everything aren't, etc etc. i like my new upstairs remodel!

it seems to me that the lessons learned here are: don't climb with will hockett. typical passive/aggressive northwest bs. instead of telling the guy what's up when it's happening, wait until later and "get revenge" by posting about it on the public airwaves. abysmal.

my prayers go out to him and his family.

i bet tvash has a solution.

i can feel ya rudy, but do you have a solution? kind of a tuffy in a free market capitalist model, methinks.

but more than being simply amused, i am moved, since your collective position becomes so much more convincing. btw, what happened around here? it seems like spray has been reduced to the same three or five humanoids arguing pretty much the same thing day in day out. actually, come to think of it, was it ever any different?
