Normally, climbers are immune to special weather, but now we're being affected as well. I miss the good old days...

Just put a bid on a mint LP, now all I need is a turntable and I'm SET!

I heard the album once when it originally came out and I remember it being pretty kick-ass, but I was either drunk or on drugs or both, and I'd like to know if my impressions were correct before I die. "Fags of Denial" and "Blow Job" have for some reason stuck in my head as something worth listening to. Any chance you could call me and play it over the phone or something?

We need a good war on our soil to make us more "blase" about death. Stacks of bodies in crematoria make a 100 dead climbers look like nothing.

Thanks, but been there, done that. This one's a relic from ancient times.

I'm trying to track down a copy of the late '80s Seattle band SGM's album "Aggression". Anyone have a "cassette" or "album" (both of which are ancient media formats, the former using magnets and tape and the latter using a stick and a grooved plastic disk). Anyone seen(or heard) this band/have{had} the album?

Another Sleese TR

MSR says they are lined with food grade polyurethane, which has "excellent" resistance to gasoline. My only concern is that the membrane layer is very thin, so an older bag may allow for leaks, as it would with water.

FUCKIN' A!!!!! Can I have your knees?

Why waste time? Simply rip the coiled rope in half.

Didn't Jon Krakauer set this precedent of acceptable behavior when he went to bed and left Beck Weathers et al to die on Everest

i hope you are not serious. Forgetting your history makes my joke unfunny.

Georgia started this whole thing by taking over a Russian radio station. Russia is just defending itself.

I too feel the urge to "magnificently waste" my life when faced with the thought of this butter hog getting her hooves on me... She completely ignores the fact that women are also great at killing themselves on high mountains. Anyone care to speculate on the gender ratios: 1) Probability of success 2) Probability of dying on descent after unsuccessful attempt 3) Probability of dying on descent after successful attempt

More like: "They died. Big fucking deal."

"The other climbers feared the mountain was too slippery and steep, so they decided to wait for rescuers." Should read: "The other climbers lacked the ability to descend without fixed ropes and sat in the snow waiting for someone to get them out of a situation they themselves could not." It's pretty simple. People died doing something dangerous and they increased the danger to themselves by relying on others to get them up and off the mountain. No "cretinous speculation" required. It's like a tandem skydive and the guy with the chute just cut you loose. Now what?

That's why you don't put petrol in a diesel motor. No, the exhaust had some kind of particulate collector, which would eventually catch on fire and shoot flames.

Try a late model with the stock flamethrower: v36MCcRPRTc

Which climber will spend an hour exposed to ice fall while waiting for the sherpas to lay fixed ropes? Which climber will sit and wait for help after the fixed ropes are swept away?

Then put in bolts.

Here's how they treat Critical Mass protests in Australia. "Just walk away, and there will be an end to the horror." _TL4XZdyo3g

It seems that you, in fact, are the moron.

Hundreds. Wow. You're AWESOME.

That's makes for a total of 4 pieces of gear. They backed up the biner on the blot with a draw and another biner. Isn't that redundant enough??? and the first couple of pieces of gear on the ground will do you a ton of good... Huh? The second biner was a backup in case the biner on the bolt failed, and both were backed up with the runner on the draw Isn't that enough?
