Dear moron,
in Spray
Hey, your girlfriend said the same thing to me!

$25 shipping is a bit much, wouldn't you say?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Is that guy looking for worms...?
So instead of using that tree and pole as simulated anchors, I guess you're hard core if you actually punch holes into your lawn with a picket.
Oh yeah - whenever you're climbing on a glacier, DON'T FORGET YOUR BELAY GLOVES!
Come on, Figger 8. You can come up with better inane and pointless criticism than this.
Do it. We know you can.
Make your mamma proud.

My partner dropped my blue #1 DMM 3CU from the fun pitch (#11?) on Liberty Crack this weekend. The cam has yellow/black/yellow tape on the sling and a blue DMM Prowire biner with the same markings.
Would love to get it back.

screw that shit and get an MILF team in there. Unbelieveable that Seattle doesn't have MILF action yet.

Please take the boner out of your butt and re-read the topic.
Point taken. Subject line changed to fit Superhero's style.

To the tall, wiry, challenged looking fellow at the REI Pinnacle whose pitiful excuse for a brain can't perform two computations at once:
I patiently waited for you to take 15 minutes to belay one climber. I then patiently waited for you to fill out some form, fold it into perfect 90 degree angles, ensuring that no corner was creased improperly, and place it neatly in a pile in a right angle to the register. I then watched you adjust your shirt and wipe the dog hair off your pants. The whole while, you never even acknowledged my presence, you never said, "I'll be with you in a moment", you didn't even look at me, even though my chalk bag was in plain sight hanging from a belt on the red shorts over my blue tights. Then some lady walks up out of nowhere and asks if you'll belay her and you oblige, oblivious to the fact that there's someone else who's been waiting for 15 minutes - patiently - to be served.. When I inform you that I was there, waiting patiently, for 15 minutes, you get snippy and tell me to walk over to the sign in if I want to be helped. Listen fucktard, how about I shove this chalk bag up your ass? Part of your simpleton job is to recognize who is standing in line. If a customer wants to ask you a question about climbing the Pinnacle, you can do your job and walk over to me where I've been patiently waiting (for 15 minutes - in the exact place where the customer you just belayed was standing). I didn't see you ask the guy you were belaying to walk over to the register to ask his silly questions about different kinds of chalk, and will it work for his annual climb up da Toof.
Furthermore, your job is not rocket science. You have a handful of functions you perform in your daily routine, none of them requiring more than two brain cells to execute. I'd like to think that I can at least expect you to perform two of those functions at once.
You screw up a simple part of your job, then you want to get loud and make me look like a jerk for calling you on it?
And to the guy with the rainbow pants and ugly mutt of a girlfriend who snickered at me for getting loud ... mind your own business, assclown.
Thank you for allowing passive-aggressive superhero to post.

Dude, you

but it shouldn't be very difficult to know whether you've pulled 5m or 30m through the rap anchor.
But yet folks still rap off uneven ropes.

To avoid this error, it is a very good idea to clearly mark the middle of your rope with a dye especially made for that purpose, or buy a rope that is pre-marked.
[Rant mode ON]
Arrrgh.
Mammut sells ropes with THREE middle marks. One in the middle and the other two about 20 ft from each end. The marks are IDENTICAL - two bands of black dye.
Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!
It's impossible to tell the ends from the middle without flaking out the entire rope! A middle mark is at the anchor, but is it the middle or near the end? They could have easily made the middle two bands of dye and the ends one band. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?!
[Rant mode OFF]
No, really.

If the spinner knobs are silver, they are probably the older Express screws, not Turbo Express screws.

How about a panel loading pack for BC skiing?
Have the one zipper on the back and shovel blade, handle, and probe attachments on the outside (or a separate pocket) along with ski attachments.

Ropes aren't hardware.

I agree.
George W. Bush should be in charge of the internet. He did beat Al Gore for it in 2000.
Look what he's done for Iraq.

Yeah, took till the next day to notice.

A friend left his anchor on the top of NEWS last Saturday. The anchor consisted of a couple cams, cordelette, and biners.
Return would be much appreciated.

Send in the King County Sheriffs. They nipped the break-in problem at Exit 38 real quick.
