my .02, to start, a rack of nuts and the equivalent of bd .5-3. That should get you through quite a bit of stuff. Some people won't agree, but I think in general, hexes are a waste of time. cams are light enough that weight-wise it doesn't make much of a difference in your pack and they're much more versatile and easier to place. I have a bunch of partners who have bought hexes and they've now sat in their basements for years. watch for online deals, people selling gear and sales in stores, don't pay full price for anything (unless you really really want it right now).

I've ridden the blurr and it's M-O-N-E-Y. Weighs about as much as my hardtail and has no bob on the uphill. From what I can tell, it excells at x-country stuff, but can definately handle the bigger drops when it comes time. I don't have much to compare it to except for a few Rocky Mtn bikes I tried. It was a bit back, but I think I was on this one: http://www.bikes.com/bikes/2007/ETSX/etsx-70.aspx again, geared towards x-country, but rolls witht he big dogs too. The RM Slayer could be fun as well. check the site.

hmmm, in this case I might have to pull my bouldering one. It is of me, but I told my friend where to stand with my point n'shoot camera, so it's not like she did anything I couldnt have done with a tri-pod (had I had one with me, i might have done that).

It usually means she had an extra shot of espresso laying around from the last coffee nOOb who came by and only got a single. She didn't want to just dump it, so offered you a 3rd one free, even though it had turned. jokes on you.

This may be a problem stemming from the amount of people learning to climb in gyms (pure speculation). The reason I think this, is because a lot of gym's rental harnesses just have the 1 hard point and they are taught in the classes to orient the braking side of the rope towards their brake hand (left/right). Then, when they buy their own harness or borrow a friend's with a belay loop, they try to orient the brake side to the left or right, as opposed to up/down, sometimes resulting in the brake side comming out the top. I've seen this happen quite a bit, but if their brake hand goes down to the side quickly, I have no gripes.

Media glorification of mountaineering accidents
NTM replied to hippos_are_evil's topic in Climber's Board
what would be wrong with following the euro model? pay some yearly dues for "rescue insurance". if you get hurt and get rescued with insurance, it's all good, if you don't have the mtn insurance, pay the bill...
