Yeah, but passing a knot on a hip belay is EASY.

Nice climb! Way to get after it, again, in the middle of nowhere!

Did you guys know that Pope recently soloed Brass Balls? It's true! I think there's a picture of His Holiness consecrating The Holy Act around here somewhere. I just didn't want this important fact to be lost in all this important conversation.

Wow. Glad you're OK. Eye of the Tiger!

Nice!!

Unidawg got awfully quiet. Maybe someone could send him a bottle of Chivas Regal or something. He could yell his frustrations with being old and irrelevant into the bag.

God don't make no trash.

Cool! I've been assigned to a squad! And I make Pope sad, too. Don't cry little buddy. No more tears. I promise to dedicate the next bolted rap station I put in in a previously pristine alpine location to your cause: purity of spirit. Hey Pope! Why don't you post another photo TR consisting of the Zeroxed polaroids Unidawg took of you freebasing "Resting On My Laurels" back in the '80s, when the world had it's shit together and climbers were for REALZ, when a true man like yourself had the brass balls to insult people to their faces and not anonymously over the yet undeveloped Intertubes. In all seriousness, though, you and Unidawg should just keep on keepin' on. The world needs washed up bitches.

i doubt any of you would post this kind of sheit if'n you had a kid suffering from developmental disabilities. that might be true, but that doesn't make it any less funny - if you can't laugh about the worst shit in life, how on earth are you going to keep from drinking the koolaid? actually i think it makes it WAY less funny. it's not like one is making fun of one's own tits, or bald head or somesuch; one's mocking a defenseless, the most defenseless, kid for their own ends. and using the old "oh you gotta laugh at the hard stuff" is a lame-ass defense here, and you're damn well smart enough to know it (cuz the cartoon's not even an example of that; far from it). Defenseless? That kid just ran his ass off: The first rule of self defense.

My first ice tool was a Cassin.

Primarily.

And I thought he just liked looking at my face... Honestly, though, in this photo I was expressing my concern for how tomb KV60 in the Theban Necropolis has been treated over the years, and how there is a doublethink hypocrisy inherent in Unidawg's anti-bolt spew. Can you have it both ways, Unidawg?

Don! Starting early today! Remember: pace yourself.

Does anyone else notice that the "Unidawg" only spews out his anti-technology screeds at about 1 in the morning? Maybe he should stop hitting the bottle so hard and get some good sleep instead of spewing out his incoherent Luddite babble. Unidawg's like this crazy guy that used to yell crazy shit at the outside of a local McDonald's. At first you thought he might have a legitimate complaint, but after listening to him explain how Vietnam and Agent Orange were mixed up with Battlestar Galactica and Commander Adama, and he started hitting the building with a 2x4 until they came out and gave him some coffee so he'd go away, you realized that he was just some crazy guy yelling crazy shit at the outside of a McDonald's. Unidawg: If we give you coffee, will you go away?

More dangerous.

Yummy! Saturn eating his son! Goya had this one hanging at the dinner table. Back to the "discussion" at hand: Unless you live in a Unibomber shack in the middle of nowhere, and grow all your own food, and write out your anti-bolting screeds by hand, with a feather quill and homemade ink, by the light of a hand carved seal oil lamp, you're a weak ass hypocrite.

Does hacking a trail into a pristine forest on the way to a formerly unbolted chosspile in the middle of nowhere count?

Every time I look up I see one a dem darn fangled aeroplanes.

Didn't Reinhold murder his brother?

I'm pro-bolt...and I vote.

They started the race as "co-leaders". Remember? And Armstrong didn't do so bad (Third) having 12 screws in his shoulder from a crash just a couple months ago...and being a withered old man past his prime of 37...my age...

Sounds awesome!

Dear Raindawg, and your constant, worthless drivel: Any questions?

I'm sure he cashed his check. Armstrong rode for free.

"Leave No Trace": Raindawg practices what he preaches. Everyone knows he flies walks to Egypt before he robs graves conducts research as a ghoul professional explorer and is careful to steal remove no artifacts from desecrated burial sites holy places of internment and place none of them in museum or institutional hordes of stolen goods collections, like some kind of marauding westerner. Anything else would reveal him to be a disgusting hypocrite disgusting hypocrite. Right Indy?
