mountaineers do it with people they just met

alpinists do it in a single push oh wait...err...umm...nevermind

climbing guru salesman told me last night that he'd NEVER heard of ANYONE trippling single runners. "nobody does that" he tells me as he basically refuses to sell my friend 9/16th stuff.

spanning the entire width of a huge dodge tailgate: "i'd rather be cummin than stroke'n" classy...

what gear held?

PM sent

i thought you only got dividends if you shopped there??

that's not a pogo stick

"OK... those without pockets on their shirts, stand to the left. Pocketed shirts on the right."

start with sporto rope (as described above) it can be used for glaciers (althouh it will get wet and heavy). this won't work the other way - can't sport climb on a 8mil 30m rope (well, not for long at least)

thinking back to working at a bike shop in college we would always get the "it broke, i don't know why - i was just riding along" we called it "JRA" and would make fun of that person because things don't break when you are just riding along. Similarly, things don't just break while sitting on a backpack. They probably made fun of you too. if those helmets are truely defective, why isn't there a stink about it just like the Alien Probes? I have a half dome and it is beat to sh!t with no cracks. seems like everyone bitches after they get their refund or exchange. shouldn't you bitch if you DIDN'T get an exchange?

great mountaineer jackets are aid

great combo!! i've got this now for a while and those boots do climb good. they have fairly small footprint so they aren't as clunky. (actually have to size down my crampons from my leathers (scarpa cerro torres)) good luck

this is wild

"the worst route in PNW is the one having the least fun"

recovering from last night's ice dancing. watching it in HiDef really makes you feel like part of the action.

bump they are yellow and come with laces... now only $50

short track or long track? they're not the same

i wonder if any white south african american has ever won an individual gold?

have they won an olympic gold in an individual event?

ice dancing was extreme last night. it was only missing crowbars to the knee and biting of ears. that one girl got TOSSED

echo...echo...echo...

victim of the media - they've gotta make a drama out of everything. the guy is just a regular dude (and says aphlete instead of athlete), not a diplomat. He went there to race his race(s) and that's all. not that this is about race, right? oh yeah, he's the darkest gold medal winner in the winter oly's. bling bling.
