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.

No shit? How'd that happen?

Does that happen every year, or is this a huge event?

Dynafits, period. I have been resort skiing for years, got a dynafit/k2 shuksan/garmont megalite setup for the backcountry last year, and I now like it BETTER than my alpine skis even for the lift-serviced stuff. It is so light. The boots are plenty stiff for me and the binding is not very hard to use. Shop now, I got good deals in the summertime last year.

You didn't give us a starting point. How are we supposed to drift from nothing?

I never have any trouble passing through any kind of security. If you have problems, might I suggest you try to cultivate a more wholesome appearance?

Who has climbed that wall before? What is it like?

troll!

People's worrying about the knot should probably be redirected into worrying about the anchor.

Like, I would think that could happen if you stepped on it.

Well, when did you notice it was bent? Seems like something is missing here.

Never believe science that shows up in a press release.

I learned that aiders can clip themselves into quickdraws.

Ha, mighta been me, I was wearing a red shirt. With a couple hundred feet of air under our butts we were looking down at the rafts, getting jealous about how relaxing a nice float would be. Grass is always greener!

Hey, that's my buddies Mike and Ryan on Green Dragon! Bob and I were the ones on Town Crier. I wonder if any of us got any pictures of you guys.

In 2005, there were 25 homicides in Seattle.

The... the comment you made on the internet?

What is the altitude at Darrington? Like 3-4k?
