  1. bump, many items sold. Make offers on remaining. Thanks. Jason
  2. @montypiton Same here. I was trying not to be greedy as I already have a set of ball nuts. Also, FWIW the sizes looked to go up to about a green alien and the aluminum seemed pretty soft/sticky.
  3. I bought a Camalot and some microwires from this guy. He has this set of slider nuts that I did a little research on when I got home. They're pretty cool and in really good condition. I thought someone could be interested in them. John was also a cool guy to talk to. Buy his stuff. FYI. the friends and spectre were sold. Here is a link to his CL post ... and to one on Supertopo describing the history of the sliders ST article Pic from STaco

  5. Ya, good times despite getting shut down. Sorry, I picked the only overcast day in a week of high pressure.
  6. Westlake and Galer to the top of Queen Anne hill is 400 ft of stairs in less than 0.5 miles. ~3 miles of flat from Ballard bridge and a little less on the return trip if you do it right.

  8. i'm a paranoid agnostic - i'm NOT certain there's a higher power, a Dig Dude w/ a beard lazing about in a comfy robe on fluffy cloud somewhere, but IF there is one, he's a cock-sucker and surely out to get me All the more reason to pick a cock-sucker and pray to him. Hedge your bets.
  9. Exactly my point. I'm agnostic for that reason.
  10. Quite different. Science is empirically proven and each of the rules can be reproduced with 100% accuracy during an experiment. This is what differs science from religion, where some drunk can hear what a friggin hat is telling him or some other imaginative bullshit. 99.9% not 100%. ...and empiricism is a theory that claims our sensory experience is the basis of Truth. How do we know were not living in the Matrix? http://phys.org/news/2012-10-real-physicists-method-universe-simulation.html
  11. The assumption that the scientific method reveals Truth is a belief. You (and I) take it on faith. How different are we from the born-agains really? Do you believe there is no proselytizing in science? How about exaggeration of observations? Corruption? Politically-influenced decision making? Blindfolding? The list goes on.
  12. No pics = it didn't happen....

  18. Perhaps I'm Monday morning quarterbacking your scenario but if I were still above the roof when I saw it. I would try to rap around it rather than over. Maybe that wasn't an option in your scenario due to no neighboring systems, etc? My answer to what you explicitly say is that I might chain some wired nuts together and starting fishing for something at the wall under the roof. Depends on how far away it was I guess? Something similar happened to me on Breakfast of Champions at Index. I was rapping on an unfamiliar rope and didn't pay attention to the fact that it didn't reach the slab under the first set of chains much less the ground. I knew I'd rapped to the ground with a single rope before but that one wasn't mine either. Anyway, I didn't catch my error until it was too late. I had to rap til my right fist completely enclosed the tail of the rope and then could barely push with the tip of big toe to start a swing to the anchor. Rookie mistake. Too bad I can't use that as an excuse. Nothing like the heinous alpine epic you're proposing but just as potentially deadly.
