I was just gonna say, Dreamer. Dreamer is ILL.

Everyone knows calling 11b/c "moderate" is silly. Even Layton. He's trolling. Post your moderates anyway.

Jeez, what a rampage. Congratulations.

1.4 lbs should definitely be enough weight to make you think.

I believe it won't- the cooling the canister experiences is due to the adiabatic effect of the gas escaping from within, and the inside pressure decreasing. Cooling due to air contact is relatively insignificant. I think a heat exchanger is the way to go, although it sounds kind of scary. People have talked about homemade heat exchangers on this site before.

10/11! 10/11! I mean I think I'd like to come and that is the weekend I can do it. Not like anybody here knows me or I pull any weight or anything.

Does online wanking count?

...nothing? If you're only on glaciers you just don't need the second rope. If you're crossing the glacier to get to a rock climb it's a perfectly good plan.

Dunno what they use, but there's this thing called Autostitch.

Does anyone know if this route goes? I'm a little skeptical about Skate Creek Road / NF 52 but it's supposedly about an hour faster than going around...

Go now. Use this.

Careful man. There is a fine line here.

Holy crap, I went skiing at Stevens. SUNSHINE. Who knew that was going to happen?? Quick summit on Big Chief, then excellent tree skiing in the shade with a foot of powder. The slednecks didn't even really get me down. Sunday also was less shitty than I expected.

Don't worry, they line the inside of Coke cans. With bis-a-leaching resins.

LOL...spraying water. If you want to clip a bottle to your harness, why not use a Sigg bottle? It has a special lid just for this. Of course if you don't tighten it you could still drop bombs on RuMRs posse. Yeah... I don't trust that little piece of plastic either. Nylon webbing FTW. Sobo, I am a big fan of tap water.

Serratus Genie. Unfortunately they don't make 'em anymore.

Are we even talking about the same thing, Dustin? That strap is pretty easy to pull off with your hands. I can think of a bunch of ways rock climbing could cut it loose. Just rig up something stronger, it's easy to do.

Drink tap water? Who knows what's in THAT shit! People are chasing some mythical perfect diet and perfect set of habits that will result in zero health problems. It's just thrashing. Something is gonna get you at some point. I don't advocate snorting asbestos for fun. There are things that are genuinely harmful and worth freaking out about, but I'm not convinced yet that this bis-a thing is really one of them. The NYT article I read earlier today pointed out that these resins have been used to line metal cans for the last 20 years and there is no good replacement for them yet. I think we ought to take a deep breath.

I'm actually not totally opposed to that but 1. I think the weather will actually be bad there too, and 2. Kind of thinking about some cardio workout.

Who's been up Colchuck's NBC lately?

Sorry about your lame experience Bug, that guy is obviously a jerk. I also think you're right on the "one bad apple" tip.

I advise you to either have more beers, or fewer beers.

Man! He FINALLY makes my ignore list! I didn't think it was going to happen.

Pope was only trying to save a brother from succumbing to the cheap allure of sport-climbing. Good, he's putting his money where his mouth is. A lot better than most of the sprayers in here.

Let's say you want to do something somewhere near Leavenworth tomorrow. The weather looks way crappy. What do you do? Long unpleasant slogging, frigid cragging, sloppy backcountry skiing, and intense beer drinking are all on the table. I've been trying to think of something to do just to get out and nothing has been grabbing me.
