Any increase in applied forces would be offset by the flexibility of the child's undeveloped bones. That's why six year old lead climber's don't need to wear helmets.

It's as if climbing equipment isn't designed for six year olds....

Hey Aristotle: They'd both be going the same speed.

I'd be impressed if he did it in flip flops.

Pogrom sounds perfectly reasonable to Choada Boy. Pogrom should park on dirtbag's plants next time and wear his headphones while dirtbag yells at him. Smile and nod, smile and nod...

Kids should be started young. Get with the times.

Sweet Pics!!!

Split Beaver.

Perfect. Anyone dumb enough to let their 6 year old get coaching on lead climbing should have their genes taken from the pool.

I would encourage his kids to lead climb, inevitably resulting in the removal of that family's stupid gene from the pool.

BWAAAAA.....BWAAAAAA....BWAAAAA.....BWAAAAAA.......BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I tied a plastic bag over my head and tried to re-read your inane drivel, Mr. Messner. How about you? Suffocated yourself with your own neck fat while playing Everest? Let me know when you've finished your new route on an 8000m peak with no fixed ropes or supplemental oxygen, and I still won't care what you think.

How is it that every blow hole has an opinion about high altitude climbing ethics?

Anyone here had this problem? I'd rather keep mine than get what they're offering as replacements.

We got to the top of p3 and ran out of day. Pretty sweet to that point.

What does the "hook up" consist of? New pair? I was thinking I could weld mine back together if they crack...

What's up with the dance floor at base camp? From memory: When the weight of the world has got you down, and you want to end your life. Dead-end job, bills to pay, and problems with your wife. Don't throw in the towel 'cuz there's a place right down the block, Where you can drink your miseries away. At Flaming Moe's (Let's all go to Flaming Moe's) Where liquor in a mug, can warm you like a hug, Happiness is just a Flaming Moe away. Happiness is just a Flaming Moe away. "Barney!!" "How're you doin' Mr. Gumble?" "Blllaarrrggh.."

Funny!!

Let's All Go To Flaming Moe's!! "Happiness is just a Flaming Moe away."

Live Streaming Update!! "Iran...Iran...Iran...Iran...Iran...Iran...Iran...Iran...Iran..."

There was a not too shitty "Most Dangerous" story on the boob-tube the other day about K2. Focused mostly on the '86(if I remember correctly) season. Read "K2: Triumph & Tragedy" by Jim Curran for the full scoop. I'm fully with Bob on this one. Would you fault the Apollo astronauts for leaving the base of the Lunar Lander behind?

An un-lubricated jack screw can be easily fixed by sacrificing a goat. Alaska Airlines should have sacrificed a moose.

...they typed from behind their computers.

Did you have a bad date or something? Did she slap on the cuffs and leave you chained to a street lamp?

Hey E, the "unseen force at work" was gravity. Or Dale Ernhart Sr., the fastest angel in heaven. I've almost died a bunch of times, with Mike behind the wheel of The General.
