Well looks like we should return EVERY TNF item we have ever bought from REI!!! I just needed a reason, thanks Glasgowkiss!

Horns are sweet, plus I'm not sure how well the slider slides if you tape the shaft.

It's just what happens when the pulling results in a stuck rope: not much fun climbing back up 2mm cord........

I'd also point out, as it has not been mentioned here, that a FEDERAL JUDGE ordered you to stop "[r]epresenting in any manner or by any method whatsoever that goods provided by any of the Defendants meet CE Certification, when they do not do so." Care to address that? I.E. why you have apparently been selling life saving products to this "community" you claim to love so dearly as if they are CE certified when they apparently ARE NOT??????? Seems like no small point to me.

Really?!?!?! Judges only grant preliminary injunctions when the Plaintiff can prove the "likelihood that it will succeed on the merits of the action". So how is it exactly that and when you posted this: "The same award-winning products." That BTW (as others here have observed) look IDENTICAL to Mad Rock's line and as Trogdor pointed out in the case of the very shoe you are "renaming" was named under a Mad Rock naming contest???? Then there's the "Galaxy" harness as has been pointed out here. Hopefully you'll have a LOT more time to climb, pretty sure this "community" will be watching.......

Hey one last name before I go and do something more important (skiing).... DF

Sure is, amazing what a little research digs up! Now did your company really say this? “… a new name has been chosen to set us apart and differentiate this company from the previous one: we are now Climb X. Same sales team. Same distributors. Same production facility. Same product development staff. The same award-winning products.” Found that here: Vikki Weldon blog She seems to suggest you were implying that you were a reincarnated Mad Rock. So I'd be interested to hear your take on this here on CC.com, care to reply?

Poacher..... em Kermit..... uh the XZ (for Xie Zei)..... wait seems like this would fit what I've seen of your theme so far: Rad Ass......

I checked into the Esprit ropes and they're both heavy and expensive, then the nice lady asked for my SSN (yeah like I'm giving that to somebody in another country--even Canada and WTF for). So.... Seemed to me like you either do a 5mm pullcord or use a 7.7mm twin rope.

I've paired up a Beal Rando with 30m of 5mm Mammut pro cord pull cord. The Rando works quite well on its own as well.

Actually dumbass, we all do. Kinda like how it's ILLEGAL to litter or set a forest on fire.

So when are you going to admit what we're talking about here--not to let the thread drift back to its point--the dude out and out lied, it was an obvious lie, still many so-called google experts believed him (and ranted and raved and were otherwise totally full of shit), kids got sick and died, and in the end the asshole got caught. Time to come on down from that tree or sign up for one of those 'Denali for Christ' climbs, either way, I don't care, the point has been settled: FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny, that. Minx has you pegged, but you do have a certain middle ages charm.

How 'bout: 'I was a fool for falling for a fraud.' Try saying that three times really fast.

Well well, the other shoe drops......... CNN) -- The author of a now-retracted study linking autism to childhood vaccines expected a related medical test to rack up sales of up to $43 million a year, a British medical journal reported Tuesday. The report in the medical journal BMJ is the second in a series sharply critical of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who reported the link in 1998. It follows the journal's declaration last week that the 1998 paper in which Wakefield first suggested a connection between autism and the measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine was an "elaborate fraud." The venture "was to be launched off the back of the vaccine scare, diagnosing a purported -- and still unsubstantiated -- 'new syndrome,'" BMJ reported Tuesday. A prospectus for potential investors suggested that a test for the disorder Wakefield dubbed "autistic enterocolitis" could produce as much as 28 million pounds ($43 million U.S.) in revenue, the journal reported, with "litigation driven testing" of patients in the United States and Britain its initial market. Among his partners in the enterprise was the father of one of the 12 children in the 1998 study that launched the controversy, the journal reported.

You seem to know straw men as well as you now muppets.... Not that at all, just don't be surprised if the courts find the assassin sane/guilty. Can't have the cake and eat it too, the RECORD is well established as to what these folks say and think, I guess what seems righteous to them is quite ridiculous to me. Undeniably they attack the people who work in PUBLIC SERVICE as if they are destroyers of the very fabric of our country. Before you can kill the enemy you must dehumanize her. That rhetoric has gotten us to that point.

I'll add one more thing: Despite protestations here that the assassin was "crazy", he is going to have a VERY hard time asserting an insanity defense: "But Paul Callan, a criminal defense attorney and a former prosecutor, and Jeff Gardere, a clinical and forensic psychologist, told CNN's American Morning Tuesday they have doubts that an insanity plea would stand. With the "amount of planning that went into this assassination," Callan believes "it's highly unlikely he will meet the legal insanity defense threshold." Simply being evil does not on its own make one insane......

Rob..... It is VERY clear from what has emerged that the assassin had political motivation, no matter how nutty he is. And its is also VERY clear this is far from the first killing motivated by a certain political creed, it was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

A good example of the rhetoric: Florida conservative radio host Joyce Kauffman took heat after remarking at a Tea Party rally, "If ballots don't work, bullets will."
