A LH2/LOX fueled ICBM would save far more polar bears.

Which route did you climb on Robson?

Did any Tauntaun Locater Beacons go off on Hood today? Seems like perfect weather.

That's good for you. The older Quarks need to be modified, as the griprest won't fit on the end of the handle. The thought of going leashless had yet to enter the psyche...

I guess I've got an older old pair. You have to trim away a bit of the rubber at the bottom of the handle and drill a hole into what's left for the mounting screw. Thanks for the info, though, I'll start cutting

I ordered a pair for my Quarks but didn't realize that I'd have to make a modification to the end of the handle to get them on. Anyone done this mod, or seen the results? I'm interested in how the tool would work without them on, if I choose not to use them for some reason. Anyone using Griprests on their Quarks in the Alpine?

Looks fine to me. People pay for this shit at any good spa.

I still prefer my "plastic-bag-over-head-with-rubber-band-necklace" training method. It keeps my teeth looking white.

I, too, got into climbing after watching an episode of "America's Top Model". Little did I realize the terrible cost I would have to pay: ravaged cuticles, days between waxings, and the horrible experience of confronting a rock that hadn't been cleaned before I touched it. Good to see that climbing, like the rest of America, is flushing itself down the toilet in the most ridiculous of fashions. I do wonder, though, if more people are getting into climbing these days, as the article states, considering how expensive everything (gear, food, gas, air) is getting. Who has $1000 to get geared up for trad climbing?

Body Double?

Built a pair today per Alpine Dave's specs. I might have went a bit overkill in the biners I used for clipping into the tools, there a bit smaller than a neutrino, but a bit heavier. I found them at a marine supply store for three bucks each. Everything seems to swing OK, but that's in my kitchen, of course. Threading the shock cord was easy, I used about 2.5 feet of stiff wire, bent one end around the end of the shock cord, and fired it in.

Hi! I've been having to login twice before I'm actually logged in. Porblem? Solution?

I suppose you'd have to be drunk to rifle through the pockets of a 4000 year dead corpse.

They make me want to make poo in my pants. Wait...that's last night's chicken mole. Gotta go!

Looks like someone wiped their ass across this forum. Beautiful stuff. Getting more like Seattle in here by the day.

I saw ADs guide, pardon my stupididity, but what's the purpose of the shock cord if it never gets stretched? The tool would have to be out of reach for it to be doing anything, it seems.

I'm thinking of putting lanyards on my Quarks this season for the "Alpine Sickness". I've got some ideas, but I'd like to know what's working for other people. Pics would be sweet, too, if you've got them. Thanks!

Bellingham is a shithole. Don't move there. You'll regret it.

Does she share your interest in farm animals?

Not yet, but I spent $2 on "The Bombat", a little league aluminum bat. Perfect size for busting heads.

Totally Empowering Awesome Party People Good riddance. These are the same fuck heads that threw beer cans all over my neighborhood last night. Grease ball scumbags and their Paris Hilton wannabe whore girlfriends.

NE Buttress Johanesburg might be a better choice this time of year, now that you mention it.

Red Sox score wampum points, win game.

What guidebook? Jason Martin's? Or is there a "Drytooling Seattle"?

Put them under your pack lid, upside down, tips pointed in opposite directions.
