the most important thing is the first cc.com avatar to appear in the AAJ - Hal Burton HAHAHAHA!

perhaps the sarcasm meter was broken on that last one

do you know him!?

that was a sick day I remember that one. it's still on my calendar

This is for the belaying part.

Go as "the decay of television" and have a lcd screen on your chest displaying video output from a camera pointed at your butt. It would be a Warhol kindof thing.

I'd wager opposed draws is much much more common as a TR anchor than anything else discussed here. There is a pretty solid history of people using these as sport TR anchors w/o incident. A locker or two probably wouldn't hurt though. If something is going to be under tension and not moving all the time it is being used, there is not really a need for a locking biner (ducking).

I almost find the mammut/trango combo _too_ light sometimes! They can be fiddley compared to a beefy dogbone thing. Also the dyneema doesn't hold up quite as well over time.

The lack of crowds is because there is a pile of aging climbers milling about like suckers in a yellow jacket trap up above a crescent feature on p3 unable to go up, unable to go down. they've been there for several years now

I hear they might even drive fruit bareback these days.

yeah but there are the top secret sweetest heavily picked out lines to climb well above your leading grade with quarks that no one knows about.

excellent rejoinder. It's almost like cc.com circa 2000-1, but not quite there yet.

It's out in the Columbia Gorge. Slozone or something like that.

sounds like it would be good to get someone with a rope to show you around SCW. And you know what that person would be called right? Wait for it.... ....a guyed guide

and for pete's sake stop talking about it. dammit I did it again!

Well, clearly you speak the pros' prose.

actually there is a burkshard up there yes

don't you know there is only one way to do everything out there? only passed down by word of mouth to those that are worthy?

you guys need to sack the f- up, put on some football pads and summit, you pussies

the funniest thing is somehow gary STILL became the topic of discussion again

yeah we were there over on wrong gull or whatever that thing is next to little wing. we even stopped and talked to you and jim/joseph a bit. mr. d was doing most of the chitchat though.

haven't you learned that what happens at beacon stays at beacon? joseph and jimmy o what have you been telling this guy while he was there

such a connaisseur of the TR! do you have a computer or a snifter over there JayB I thoroughly agree. It's a shame that anyone has to justify their actions when they didn't really do much wrong. What I wanna know is anyone going to attempt OS during the rope-up...could be entertaining
