The concern about increased traffic on routes due to posting on cc.com is legitimate. There is a huge herd mentality here, with postings of photos giving exact route conditions etc removing adventure, and overall making things more mentally accessible in general. For example, photos of routes on Beacon indicating rap stations, anchors, suggested gear sizes, etc would absolutely bring more traffic there. Woe-be-tide those who venture onto routes done the previous weekend featured on the .com. I present the following evidence to the jury: Dragontail: Triple Couloirs Mt. Hood: North Face Mt. Hood: Yocum Ridge

ummm, this is smith (a.k.a. thunderdome)

By the way, who the f- would bother to copyright that photo?

You are an ass.

Just remember the internet created a lot of experts.

jugging a twin line free-hanging would be f'ing terrifying

busy choosing between "you liberals", "the libs", "the dems", "typical dems", "typical libs" to start his sentence.

Nothing but a good time

Clearly you are better than these two people.

Oh to be at Red Rocks right now. I miss the sun already. And the buffets. And the hookers.

i thought it was an octorok from legend of zelda

if you call leaping off of cliffs with telemark equipment on "teleing", well, I guess there is some teleing. actually I guess their feature film is more skiing than leaping, like their first short video (which was cool).

geezus dude have you been to smith since 1990

It often seems people have to have an enemy to understand and feel comfortable with their own identity. For years the USSR was a common quantifiable enemy around which Americans could rally, and through this shared hatred and fear, in some perverted way we could identify with each other as Americans.

Yeah I was mainly considering the rappels. Just feels a touch more invigorating when your skinny little lines shift over unavoidable edges while they are weighted.

puget puts the "web" in world wide web

are you sure this wasn't downtown new orleans

The ice line is pretty damn thin at 8.1mm. Be careful on the double rope raps when ice climbing with this. It felt a little out of control w/standard device when soaking wet near the end of a rap a few times with a small pack on. Maybe throw in an extra biner on the device or get something like the reversino. It is also a little spooky seeing that diameter of cord over an edge. The rope itself is plenty strong for clean falls, but beware the falls in broken rock. Ropes of this diameter demand a little more care over edges. Put in my vote for the Mammut Genesis 8.5mm half'rs for all applications, ice or rock. They are a touch heavier obviously.

you seem to put more time and thought into your posts than most do...
