    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.

    Proper Belay Technique

    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.

    With espresso and darker you burn off the volatile oils and shift the flavor focus to the "degree of the burn":

     

    True, but in my experience, the origin of the bean will affect the roast profile. I know it sounds obivous, but for example, beans from Sumatra expand as they are roasted darker and absorb that "roasty" (read: burnt) taste more, whereas a denser bean, take Ethiopian Yirgacheffe as an example, is still roasted dark like the Sumatra, but will not give off as much of a burnt taste when brewed.

    So while I agree with CBS on liking lighter roasts (esp with something like a Yemen or Sidamo that is naturally processed and gets some kick-ass berry flavors), certain coffees can still be good as a dark roast.

    Being that I can't pick and chose with Starbucks coffees, I go to local roasters and "taste the rainbow", in the parlence of our times.
