Shave whatever you want licked is a good rule of thumb.

Isn't this essentially what happened to Beck Wethers on Everest?

Clearly Karen is not a math wiz.

America is draining/polluting its aquifers at a phenominal rate to support its meat-centric diet. A huge threat to Canada-US relations in the next few decades will be the shared water resources (lakes and underground aquifers).

OMG!

That is funny....but should this not be better in spray? When a spraylord like you asks a question that is already in the FAQ, that deserves a smart-ass answer. Try looking here: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/faq#polls

Sooo tiny and sooo cute. Congrats, thx for posting.

Cute kid Kev. But your hands look kinda girly. Makes me wonder if you even climb. This is a *climbing* board, you know!

Corona, Guiness or Tequila

For some, climbing is an addictive obsessive, behavior.

Any thoughts/experience on using the Petzl Basic?

I hexes.

My first, too. My little boy is 6 weeks old...he came three weeks early. He's already started posing...this is his Blue Steel look. Yes, being a dad is rad.

This is the best thread in a long time. I can't decide which is more entertaining, those arguing for Bellevue or those against. My personal opinion is that it is some of Will Smith's best work. GO FRESH PRINCE!!!!

Japan has the best TV shows.

Why attack the man? I'd rather see a discussion on his arguments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

Watch out for tasar wielding police officers.

Clearly this question is from a man who has never had sex with a real woman, thus has learned everything he knows about it from porn. 8D Anyway...to answer the question, giving your partner a full body sponge bath (or bandana bath) is an erotic way to get things heating up in this situation.

I find this hard to believe...source?

Ummm...old spray?

This is grade 10 physics. Cool - yes. Radical - not really.

Take a look in ANAM at the Tahquitz double fatality where a cordelette caused sequential failure of a three point anchor because it did not equalize the three pieces. Sliding X's or an equalette would not have failed, as simulated replications of the accident using the same gear that failed in the same placements and test weights showed It seems this was an error in setting up (equalizing) the anchor, not a problem with cordelette. The reason I do not use the Sliding X is because if one anchor point fails, the resulting extension will likely cause the others to fail...as in this case of a poorly equalized anchor. And, of course, the reason we use multiple anchor points is b/c we do not assume any single point will hold a fall. Am I mistaken? Should I be reconsidering using the sliding x over an equalized and tied cordellette? In what situations?

I'm not sure I'm visualizing this right, but I can't see how this system is an improvement. It seems to me the figure 8 on a bite is more likely to jam or snag something than a double fisherman. Also, there would be more friction in this system (i.e. you'd have to pull harder to get your rope down).
