CC.com is my diary.

CAN'T REPLY TOO BUSY SPRAYING From what I see, TRs generally get thumbs-up. I've written trip reports for the Sulphide Glacier (woohoo) and NW Arete of Argonaut, these aren't hardman climbs but the reception was generally encouraging. I think Gary has the perception he states above because people like to spray on him, specifically. Because he'll react all indignant and affronted.

this thread feels dangerously close to moving out of spray... quick someone save it!

Yeah, Libra just HURTS for two moves, then gets reasonable. I still have a divot in my hand. The Aries chimney elicited some good responses... My follower: "I almost threw up at the top." From a guy I know who had just climbed the Grand Wall: "Oh I wouldn't lead that thing." My girlfriend walked right up it though. Maybe it's all in the chromosomes.

just climb the damn thing.

What she heard: "What's it like in your pants?"

Sounds like Aries on GNS. Since you brought it up: climb Aries if you wanna get worked over by a bad chimney.

The relationship between intelligence and posessing a degree is more complex than merely one causing the other.

It's almost friday and my company is letting me go home at 5pm tomorrow!!! I'm going to find you and Kick you in the nuts!!! Your request was denied because of its content categorization: "Humor;Violence" The corporate firewall is good today!

This requires a special device for the third, such as a GriGri or other, and he must self-belay. This would be slow unless the climbing were easy. Or a clove hitch... Anyway, it might be slow for him but it's not slow for the group, because you're making the work parallel instead of serial.

Anyone know why the sheriff's department is getting involved?

You limit people to 1 bag and they're gonna check a biiig bag.

Carl who?

worst thread ever

What I think is stupid is that they switch to banning items after someone's tried to use them in an attack. But terrorists are like Wile E. Coyote! They try something once and then move on to the next ACME product!

Hey douchebagger... I said there are no defects in the Alien in question, right? I'm sure that's the first thing these guys looked at when they got back from the doctor's office. They didn't say anything about it. If there was a defect they'd be screaming about it by now. So we're still back to my original question. I don't even disagree with your assessment of CCH, they seem kinda chintzy to me too. But I don't see how anyone can call this a "cam failure". I guess I'd accept that you're trolling on accident, due to the fact that your reading comprehension kinda sucks.

The alien is intact, right? And there has been no mention that it has any apparent defects, right? So explain how the accident could be due to something other than user error. Or, keep trolling.

There's debate happening here that I don't understand. The alien is intact, right? And there has been no mention that it has any apparent defects, right? So someone explain how the accident could be due to something other than user error. Sure they called the placement "textbook", but Aliens are popular *because* they can go where other gear can't. Sometimes in a shallow or flaring crack, you place your piece and you take your chances.

I hate to admit it, but that's really funny.

Doesn't Dogfish Head brewery make some fierce IPAs?

Still a threat as of a couple months ago. I had read about it thoroughly, and my rope still fell into the damn thing and came out the bottom, just like all my reading had warned. It was a combination of luck and an adept climbing buddy that saved my rope.

It is possible and it's the normal plan, but has risks. You do need doubles. Search the site and you'll see a lot of references to a monster rope-eating flake, which indeed nearly ate my rope (it's somewhere in the vincinity of the second pitch, I think). I'd recommend feeding the rope out of a bag attached to your harness when you rappell. Also be sure you know where your next anchor is and that you're going toward it- one or two of the raps are traversy and if you don't get it right at the beginning you'll have to improvise. And watch the knot when you're pulling. It might also be possible and easier to descend the Safe Sex route.

The content/spray ratio is phenomenal.
