Should be about buildering with a name like that.

Monty, I think the concensus here is that simul-climbing should only be done on terrian where there the chance of either climber falling is slim to none. The idea isn't for a fall to be 'held'...the chances of either climber holding the other's fall is slim to none. The idea is to prevent total disaster should one of them actually fall. Your suggestion that this be practised is laughable.

I have a feeling thats not what was meant by "plabness".

Your on a roll today, Arch.

Better question...why is noone talking like a pirate in the "Pirate" forum? Aaarrgh, ye scurvy dogs should all walk the plank!

You might say the 'cat' is out of the bag. Good luck getting this 'genie' back in the bottle.

Wet ones!? Pussy!! Real hardmen use sticks, leaves and rocks.

On the Dirtbag Climber Scale Of Publically Inappropriate Behavior, I'd say this is a minor offence. Gross, yes, but y'alls outrage is more surprising IMHO.

I'll probably get sooo sprayed for this, but I have to ask...What the f' is "plab"?

I'll wear a green speedo if it'll get me a Brazilian super-model

I thought it was eating chicken that led to pregnancy. Its so 'finger licking good' that one thing leads to another...

Its a nice climb, but I think it is overrated and certainly over-run. I've done it twice and had plenty of company both times. It has its place a nice, moderate, well-protected lead (some say over protected). Ideal for one of your first 5.9-ish multi-pitches.

Music is aid.

This is a phoney. Any self-respecting climber would have put a beer can in the photo - not that pussy Pepsi can.

I've seen alot of complaints about the Swain guide. What book would y'all recommend for Red Rocks?

Did you find anything? If I had seen this earlier, I would have suggested rapping the "Bottomless Pit" in the Haleakala crater. Don't let the ranger see you though, cuz I'm sure its not legal. Otherwise, like Spicoli says, its a choss pile. I'm going there on the 16th, but plan to snorkel and lay in the sand. My wife would kill me if I even suggested bringing climbing gear.

Things I've been wanting to do but never got around to due to lack of time, competent partner or one of several other lame reasons: Angel Crest Slesse NE Buttress South Howser Tower West Buttress Oh, and go to Tuff Luv or Rope-up to meet some of you avatars.

Nerd is the new cool. I bet the guy in the top pic climbs harder than you.

No thanks for me? Ingrate.

I predict there will be a storm - maybe even a hurricane- that hits the coast of the SE USA this year. I also predict some sweeeet-ass climbing this summer. We'll see how my predictions do.

Dammit, Stretch, at least make him read the damn manual himself. Now he's gonna post *all* his computer questions to this forum.

Try downloading the manual from the manufacturer. You should have done this first before posting here. http://www.iogear.com/support/manual/106%20GCS612%20manual.pdf

Why should the stronger climer go second? Is this to make sure that the follower will be OK to simul-climb what the leader has done?

There is some good advice to be had here on cc.com. That is, if you don't mind sifting through pages of flames, insults, sarcastic remarks and general spray.
