people watch you p00p (even if it is thru telescopes)

knee pads and chest harnesses

if you go down you're humiliated if you don't you keep getting punished

remember, the military is made up of those that had no other options in life... the poor and the stupid at least that's what i've heard here before (maybe not from you)

i guess this means his son is underprivileged.... weird

the REI in salt lake is in the same strip mall as IME. i was talking to the owner about it and he had no problem being next to them. realizing that they each had their markets and they actually complimented eachother in what they sold. the thing is, i rarely go to one without going in the other....and this has brought business to IME. similarly, i'm sure FF gets a lot of business from people that go to rei...park once, shop twice! (btw - IME is a totally bitchin shop. if you're in the area, it's the place to go)

A man walked into the Dr. office and says it hurts when he goes to the bathroom. The Dr. told him to loosen his grip.

"bad joke"

you should do this and clip the bite to your rap/belay loop...keeps you on lead, protected by the last piece while you thread the anchor! Better yet, just pass a bite of rope through the anchor, tie figure 8, clip the 8 into your belay loop, and untie the end of your rope, pull loose end through the anchor and lower. don't lower through the anchors!! if you're tr'ing, use qd's or build an anchor. if cleaning: rap off!!!

go to redrocks near vegas... some AWESOME moderate climbing there. from single pitch to long multi pitch.

FAIL!

you seem to care enough to tell everyone home little you care. "(if it's a fair election)" preemptive victim excuse

system of a down (maybe a little bit pop...but good) kataklysm (can you say double bass!!!) Carnivore (just heard some of this recently...) Downset (not exactly heavy metal...but it's bitchin, and hard!) Coal Chamber (big truck)

why does climbing gear sell for so much on ebay? the oldest, crappiest hardware goes for near retail? sticker collections for $30? WTF??? rock shoes are occasionally a screamin deal - but that seems to be it.

when flying to a climbing destination - as you de-board the plane take the pillow with you. it is a small and light bivy pillow.

heavy metal trance U/G hip hop i'm a uniter!!

more flexible, trigger isn't as stiff, cheaper and.... rangefinder so you know it's bomber

the best selling musical artists are the ones having teh most fun

chill d00d....i didn't intend my post to be an alien bashing. no way i'm getting rid of my aliens.... love em.. just though the mets looked and felt sweet. it's like an old pickup truck that you love. go drive a bmw and it'll make you drool...but you keep the pickup truck

the shop here in salt lake has a run of thest babies! they look pretty awesome and feel great. i got home and looked at my aliens and it is taking everything i've got to not got back and get the metoliusesees. one thing i liked was that the trigger wires were not wires at all.. but string-like. it allowed the lobes to rebound more easily independent of each other. aliens, if you hold two lobe closed w/ your fingers, the others don't open very much. (read: met's could be more solid in an offset-like placement)

glacier travel top roping carrying (just in case) ...this all spells out a lighter rope than 10.2. it'll be a rope that isn't taking lead falls and isn't being abused (by the sounds of it) get a 9mil half rope (50 meter)

1st rule of climbing- don't talk about climbing

3.25

wobblers?

i thought this whole bolting vs not bolting controversy was settled in the last bolting vs not bolting online argument... dammit.. maybe it'll get settled in this one. once and for all!!!!!11
