Huh? We don't have TRILLIONS of dollars to spend! Speaking of which Newt's new moon station will be english speaking only, hate to think what the restrooms will look like tho......

Items added.

NO WAY!!! That'll get you twenty years in some Chinese hell hole slam! But don't worry it's a Chinese ladder.......

Thought you meant altitude in terms of actual height--which makes Chimborazo the highest point on earth. The thread should be "barometric pressure as a function of season and latitude." Neat topic.

Screw & Slider Sold!

I kinda think it's a good reason to vote for him if you're GOP.

Uh, anybody catch on to the point, Mitt es un cabronito y su padre es un mexicano!

BTT!

Howdy, will ship free to lower 48 (via USPS), PayPal preferred, reasonable offers welcome. 1. Mountain Hardwear Dome Perignon windstopper hat, green/black, Size L, good condition & clean, retail $35, asking $10.

Not to change the subject, but it appears David Lama has freed the ORIGINAL line! Lama Frees Comporessor It'd be interesting how Lama protected his ascent.

It's not as much of an issue (perfect hooker) if you orient the V vertically as gravity and the ice help the thread, but I have a CAMP hook.

Like the part about in your book arriving at a belay of 16 bolts, does say quite a bit about Maestri and co. BTW Don't like option 2, they'd have to account for the motor, so you're saying they put the compressor BACK into the frame and hauled it all the way up the hill?

It takes true talent to clear a room you're not even standing in.... well done!

Just reminded me of all the emails I get from foreign countries from folks I've never heard of, written with weird diction and describing fairy tales like how I can make a cool $500k. That trip BTW would NEVER be called a day hike. Kinda like how the Nose can be done in a day, but nobody calls it a day climb. When people say "day hike" that usually means you can expect to run across church groups, mounties or boy scouts. Hope you weren't surprised folks were asking wtf and wtf? Be pretty sweet if you pull it off, BTW you planning on using skis? That would also not be a hike.

Try asking rei to order for you, or call Larry at Mountain Tools. You might call prolite gear in Bozeman too.

No. Did a little checking around to confirm and they are a different geometry than the G14 points, which have more curve.

Nice diction! I will send you the $2,000 you requested to make prepare gear for try dayhike......

Well I can't see Mitt doing so well in the South after Mitt's Mexican heritage has come to light, seems a group of Mormons were sent to Mexico to continue polygamy. His father George was born there and then returned to America illegally. So he'll be known as Mormon and Mexican? Bad enough he's associated with the other M word: Massachussetts! NPR story Newt! Newt!

Always goes over well if you use good professional coordination in setting up interviews, so where, what, whom and how long are good pre-interview q's.

Going to agree with the above. I'd expect more from someone posing as an expert in survival and as a writer as well, no? Best to all of you in the storm, lost climbers included.

Well I don't know what else to call that, Choada Boy shows up and in two posts totally pummels the dude to the point of digital extermination!

Probably got choadized, it happens.....

Well sorry. I lost count! Do think they were smart enough to want a spare frame for hauling all that weight up that distance. They probably wanted to start with the one that had protection from snow and light falling stuff, but found it made it harder to control (or broke it in a small way), and had to bring the spare up and left that one at the base.

No dude! I really am LMAO...........

BTW since you finally shared with us the key detail, i.e. frame w/o motor. I'd say they had a spare frame and found/blindly chose that the one frame w/o hood was better for hauling and use. Would think the cowling could cause wind resistance problems when handled and especially hauled in high winds. If they built the frame locally, there is no reason to think they didn't get enough material for two due to cheapness and more importantly that they were designing the exact configuration in the field. Besides, I'd want a spare frame for fear of breakage while hauling it up all those pitches.
