The best tape is called "Technique".

Sweet. This modified quote will come in handy for my upcoming performance review.

Could a moderator please lock this thread down so we can get on with the new thread about the locked down "locked down" thread.

Robble robble...

You can't kill spray...the minute a thread is locked down, someone starts a thread about the locked down thread.

Fixed for ya! Its ironic. The more you promote Ron Paul and cheesy guitar butt rock the more I hate both of them. Perhaps Kev is confusing Ron Paul with Les Paul

Accountability is for middle management and worker-drones

I spent a few summer guiding when I was a younger man...my employer facilitated pro-deals with a number of vendors and I was able to get plenty of good advice from my co-guides. Considering you will be in them all day, everyday, for a large portion of your summer, boots you will be happy in are an advisable investment. Unfortunately I cannot comment on the specific boots in your OP. Good luck.

Whole grain bread, pasta, crackers etc. really aren't that much better than their white equivalents (as they are still very processed) despite what Food Inc would have you believe (the first ingredient in whole grain Fruit Loops is still sugar). If you really want the benefits of whole grains, eat more unprocessed whole grains: *oat groats (takes longer to cook, so i cook these up the night before and nuke 'em in the morning *steel cut oats - similar nutritional value as oat groats, but cook faster *Brown rice *Buckwheat ...you get the idea. I throw in some blueberries or raisins and Flax seed oil (omega 3 source) with my oats - breakfast of champions. Add brown sugar or organic maple syrup (grade b) if you must - its still way better than whole grain fruit loops

Let's not forget the impact on loved ones: -time away/neglect of friends and family -any surplus income funneled into your addiction -impact on job/career I can't see a difference, can you see a difference?

I am heading to Red Rocks this weekend for the first time in years. I have the old Swain guide (Rock Climbing Red Rocks from Falcon Press), but it must be 10 years old. So I am wondering what guide book I should buy that covers new route development in the last 10 years. A "select" type guide might be best as we are only down for 3 days and don't expect to be making frequent trips. Any suggestions? I'll probably re-visit some of my old favorites (Frogland, Black Orpheus, Olive Oil) but would love to get on some new stuff too.

Bump...still looking, T minus three weeks

+1 Exactly what I was thinking. I get the third degree from US border guards.....but sweet as apple pie when coming home.

Where can I get maps for Canada?

'Raptor' is a pretty cool word.

Try spooning an alpine hottie

I doubt I will get all these done this year given work and family commitements...but sort of a bucket list: Mt. Sir Donald (Roger’s Pass) Brewers Buttress (Canadian Rockies) Epinephrine (Red Rocks) Yosemite (Some moderate classic) Angel Crest (Squamish) Bugaboo Spire (Bugaboos) Becky Chouinard (Bugaboos) Slesse NE Butt. Prusik Peak North Ridge Mt Stuart My biggest obstical is having a capable, committed, reliable partner. PM me if you think we can help each other out.

Wondering if there is a place in the Vancouver area (Canada) that will resling cams. Currently I am thinking of sending my metolius cams back to metolius based on previous recommendations here - sounds like they do a great job. But I also have Camalots, rigid Friends and hexes. Most of my gear is about 10-14 years old (the rigid friends prob much older).
