ClimbingPanther

Here's a little eye-opener. You try to give the guy a chance and help him out and what do you get? I never used the ignore yet, not even on Kevbone, but this guy is just too much! If he's for real, then his has got to be the biggest and blindest ego I've ever seen. Such a shame it has been wounded so badly here! ClimbingPanther enthusiast Registered: 07/21/05 Posts: 304 Loc: The Tri, WA I'm not sure what to think about you yet, but you seem to occasionally make a meaningful post so I won't write you off. Here's a tip to make all of our experiences better on this site. We're not a bunch of ego-driven blowhards, and we're not summit-crazed unsafe maniacs, so don't try to insinuate this and nobody will get angry with you. I don't know what type of "climbers" you are used to meeting, but the vast majority of people on this site are not stupid and we know the risks. We all read more than our fair share of info about the recent tragedies, and we've had about enough discussion at this point. There's really nothing new that anybody can add, so we're tired of people bringing it up. I don't know if you are the same person as the Shiniwhatever/Seahawk/beartoothMT/etc, but you sound just like him sometimes and everybody hates that guy. If you really do appreciate the people on this site who come across as more moderate and conciliatory, then try to be like them! Credibility is gained here not by being the best climber in the world or summiting the best mountains, but by contributing meaningful and/or funny posts and refraining from holier-than-thou rants.

People on this site are the biggest assholes I have ever met on any forum anywhere. A forum is supposed to be a place for discussion and conversation, but that is not possible when some pencil dick like yourself simply jumps on the new guy because they don't know him. It is pointless to try to talk with such juveniles. I could care less about gaining respect from such a bunch of dildoes.

Note the juvenile name change they gave me to "clueless twit"...really, really mature. This group seems like a bunch of 16 yr. olds stuck in their parents basement.

To a very small extent I share your suspicions! Oly doesn't commonly jump in to the fray like that

I have had this exact phenomenon. I researched it but don't think it was true frostnip, although it was still scary. It started in all 8 fingers, but was only affecting 6 within the next few days. A couple weeks later, it was 4, then down to 2 after a month. Another couple weeks and numbness was all gone. You'll recover fine, just give it time. To prevent this in the future, I agree with above sentiments, especially paying attention to hydration. This is key. Also if you have big gloves, you can slip a handwarmer in between the liner and the shell. I've done this before and it's beautiful

~ When your partner is jonmf76?

and in preparation for the imminent thread-relocation to spray, Alpinfox, I'm glad you chimed in on the genetic topic. I was hoping you would, you gene-splicing fool, you.

You said it griz, jonmf, I for one didn't even read your whole post because I could see by the first few lines it would be more of the same monkey-at-a-typewriter stuff I've seen you post time and time again. You have no credibility here so don't expect a conversation.

BD shrikes, oooh yeah. (used only, I think) Light (1lb 8oz), cheap ($40 range on ebay), what more can you ask for? Like Couloir, I wouldn't recommend the straight-shaft version of these for real ice climbing. Those funky skinny-shaft Grivel things might be good too though? Some versions are light, but not full length. Alp Monster may be one to consider.

he's right about the spray, there's a bit too much of it outside of Spray, but I suppose this is nothing new, eh old timers?

shhhhhhhh!!!

I only get mad at slow drivers, and since you're from OR, I could never be mad at you

No really, I'm confused. Your posts are so numerous and monotonous, you're not even succeeding at making people mad. Sucka!!! I, like others, feel sorry for you that this is how you spend your time, making up countless new avatars on cascadeclimbers.com, only to suck at trying to make people mad. What did you do before the accident, anyway?

I'm never trusting my life to anyone posting on this thread... Edit:Arrrrgh! Avast, ye landlubbers (acidlubbers?), me done forgots what forum I was posting in. Shiver me timbers!

Exactly what we are all thinking about now. I am truly baffled at what your point is.

Would anything be funnier than making kevbone's post count always read "1" ?????

Yes, thanks for beta from everyone in the past few weeks. Going to make a weather-dependent effort on some undecided but easy route on Sunday morning, Dec 31, probably S.S.

in hell. it's always INFINITY %, except on Sundays, which they don't even have in hell.

NO!!! I get the "Accidents in North American Mountaineering" book every year at Christmas, and without fail, there is always an accident involving someone who sat down to slide down the snow with crampons on. If you enjoy compound fractures of your tibia/fibula, then this is THE activity for you. If that does not sound like fun, then never, ever do this, period. Someone who knew better and was just sliding a short distance to test the conditions for glissading even got injured, so don't try it. I wonder what is the best way to get the word out on this? I think it should be in the instructions for crampons, and all renters should make it a point to say this. This is THE most unnecessary (and preventable) injury in mountaineering.

I'm w/ Layton on this, except I go for the midweight capilene. I love the weave where it has little air pockets on the inside that keep you warm, and that's what makes Patagonia better than knock-off. Polypro, in my experience, is noticeably stinkier than polyester (and nylon is less smelly than either, which is why I go for nylon/spandex underwear).

By both of our reasonings, yeah, it doesn't work for health care, but I don't think it sucks and doesn't work. I think it's beautiful when there is a normal case of supply and demand. The consumer driven market takes care of itself for the benefit of all with little oversight except for basic ground rules against improper use of the market by price fixing, monopoly, etc. The invisible hand massages the good companies and spanks the bad ones better than any government could.

and sick of being tired? poor thing, catch-22 hey Timmay, can you suggest a worthwhile free alternative to x-c'ing at Bachelor? I go there every year w/ my good friend (trip coming up Prez Day weekend), but if there's good scenery to be had for free, I'm all about that.
