  1. I notice this a a lot around here, so I figured I'd provide a template for people to use when replying to TRs. Just cut and paste!

     

    "Great climb! So much stoke! Me! My climbs! My experience! My narcissism! Me!"

  2. Turns out, if you stop taking your hydrocortisone post-transplant, you get "adrenal deficiency", the symptoms of which resemble that of gut GVHD. All is well now, she's on the mend.

  3. I don't have a problem with people getting hooked up with gear its the folks trying to crowdsource for run of the mill trips and expeditions that I think is ridiculous.

     

    For ANY trip as the matter of fact. Climbing is just a self serving waste of time. It's not like you are you are curing cancer or feeding hungry. Particularly the climbs for cause make me wanna puke. Basically they are trying to have their vacation financed by public, and pretend they are doing greater good.

     

    That's why I am starting a "Not Climbing for a Cure" non-expedition. ALL the money I raise will go towards the cure, and none towards my non-existent expedition's expenses.

  4. Ice screws cost $100 because a CNC turning center costs $200,000, not to mention the rest of the process and testing equipment, numerical control programming/programmers, liability insurance, blah, blah, etc, etc, etc. Screaming deal. I have no hard numbers, but my guess is that the profit margin is minimal. The solution? 10 million Chinese ice climbers heading into the hills, fully adorned.
