Fuck censored NIN. "Blood Rave" by The Crystal Method has a great baseline, but isn't rock or roll. "Ratamahatta" by Sepultura is pretty kickin' Pig Destroyer's "Piss Angel" might be a good choice,way over the top, and if she goes into the ring/cage second, it would scare the shit out of her opponent. Of course, if I was fighting, I'd pick "Angel of Death". Of course.

My understanding is that barometric pressure is not only a function of altitude, but also latitude. The graph on page 3116 of his second article relates barometric pressure with altitude alone. "Paleoalpinism"?? Kind of a stretch, but someone funded it, I guess.

I hear they're running in the red.

I take my pedals off and run while on my bike. It's way radder than cyclolame.

Definitely the burliest alpine climbing happening in the lower 48. Great job to everyone!!

Awesome! A new "Mom" joke! Just what the world was missing! Got those forces calculated yet?

I bet you're glad you weren't lead climbing back then. BTW: How do you wipe yourself these days? Rag on a stick? If you have a second, what's the force on the rag at the instant you wipe?

My favorite part is how you've so far failed to mention "kinetic energy" or "impulse" in your carefully thought out dissertation, and seem to not understand how a stress/strain curve describes the behavior of a dynamic system in tension under a fixed load. Perhaps you'd care to describe how the stress/strain curve would change under a diminished load, or can tell me the difference between yield and ultimate strength. And I'm DYING to read how you'd calculate the "force" acting upon a falling six year old lead climber, maybe a younger you, at 55kg.

You are right. Nothing happens "instanty". It takes "thousanths" of a second. Thank you for pointing out how fucking stupid you are. Your knowledge of basic physics resembles that of the ancient Greeks, Aristotle. Please tell me that you're not an engineer or make anything that peoples lives are dependent on.

Me no speak retard, maybe that's why I can't understand you. The rope will stretch instantly, at different rates, for both climbers, who would be traveling at the same speed. And wood is not made of "Earth" and "Fire", Aristotle.

After not carefully reading or re-reading your post, I still think you're retarded. They would both be going the same speed when the rope began to stretch. The rate of rope stretch would be different. That is how I "repond", Aristotle.

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.
