  1. HI Seba, I am interested in climbing at Smith Rocks this weekend. Let me know if you're still interested. I can lead 5.10a trad and sport. Cheers, Dan
  2. recovered locking carabiners used for rappelling from the top of the third pitch of young warrior. please identify the markings on the carabiners if they are yours.
  3. One or Two Partners needed for Mt Triumph: Northeast Ridge Grade III, 5.7 rock, ice field crossing. Should be an easy 2 day alpine climb. Or something else up to 5.9 Grade IV. Lets talk.
  4. It was a great climb. Thanks for stirring up interest in it. A couple of years ago, fheimerd and I were going to attempt a second accent but that never happened. I recall the schrund crossing give us problems, mainly because my belay failed, resulting in a very lucky jump over the schrund onto some very soft snow. Don, any chance I can get a large print of that photo? Thanks, Dan McNerthney

  10. Another advantage of using a thin static tag line is the ability to haul a light day pack. The thin line makes hauling a little cumbersome, however on a steep pitch, the hauling is easy and the second doesn't have to carry any extra weight.
  11. Biodiesel may be taking food away from the poor. Have you looked at the price of rice lately? While it might give you a nice fussy green feeling, you could be burning someone's dinner.
  12. I rented from maui cruisers. The hand gun under the front was an unexpected bonus. They really beleive in customer service.
  13. maybe this will help? http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/2191241
  14. They are most likely using the same freq. Get a cordless phone that uses a different freq then your wireless router. What model/brand of wireless router and phone are you using?
  15. wow. this so reminds me when my brother died on pan face almost thirty years ago.
  16. Like most jargon, Internet slang aggrandizes authors and readers, causing them to appear to have specialized knowledge of a complex medium. However, there are cases where using Internet slang is considered ridiculous, due to association with the stereotype of the internet n00b.
  17. The laziest inventions are the ones we choose not to use, because we're not lazy.
  18. Clever it's the fattest invention also.
  19. Mountaineering, or more specifically snow and ice climbing/skiing, is much dangerous then rock climbing. Even though an alpine climber spends more time on the crags then in the alpine, numerous friends have died in the mountains, but none of them have died while rock climbing. Of course, that’s just my individual experience. I have stopped alpine climbing, not because of the danger, but its so damn cold at the belays.
  20. Hear from the experts. Keep backcountry skiing fun. http://www.alpinesafety.org/images/NSAS_agenda_2007.jpg
