while i understand yer reasoning for doing this and agree that it probably will give you more confidence while doing tougher moves, it sounds like taking an unnecessary risk, imho. If you think that falling on gear on purpose is an unacceptable risk, then you should make damn sure you're climbing with the intention that the leader never falls. I mean, if you're pushing yourself on lead so much that a leader fall onto good gear is highly probable (and many people do this), then you should be just as willing to fall on purpose onto good gear in a controlled situation. Otherwise, well, you shouldn't be so willing to fall ever. IMO. Personally, I would *never* fall on gear on purpose. But, I also would never lead a route where I thought it was likely that I would take a lead fall. But I'm a cautious leader and that limits my growth, I suppose. But, were I inclined to push my lead level to the point where taking lead falls was a common occurrence, then falling on gear on purpose shouldn't be that concerning of an event, should it?

I was a little hard on your mom's beaver last night

He's an old-school american climber.

i dropped one so big once that I had to chop it in half with the toilet scrubber before it would flush. It kind of looked like Palin's face.

spiderman, you've been around here for years. You know we can't do that. After all, this is the cc.com playground, and every once in a while, someone gets sand kicked in their eyes... or, sand kicked in their vaginas, as in the case of SummitGinger here

how can anyone respond that they found the cam if you've asked people to end this topic with your post? oops!

well, I can tell you one thing, she's probably not out climbing.

let's drop the big one. Show people we mean business.

That guy loves to suck on Mohammed's balls. He likes to jiggle them with his tongue.

well, that explains why he hasn't been posting much, lately.

Oh, and fenderfour's recommendation to hit up private idaho is excellent advice.

You probably hate it so much because you're just thrutching around in there. I had trouble jamming it, too, until I figured out I can just climb in like a chimney, with my left side facing the crack. Carry as little gear as possible, and sling it all to your right side. It's really just a few moves (for me) because I have long arms and once you can reach the top with your hands, it's over. I thought it was fucking hard until I figured it out then it wasn't actually that bad. Certainly not an index 9, imo. Good luck! I worked really hard to start leading 9's at Index, too. It was great when it all started coming together. And then I stopped climbing

God, you're annoying as fuck. I'm going to start stealing beer whenever I see it, in hopes that it's yours.

For President 2012 -- GOP

Awesome. I love a good butt kicking.

Really? You don't think he should have been allowed to be elected??? Are you a fascist, or what?

balls.

For that matter, what would god's approval ratings be like, over that same time period?

most retarded article I've read in a while. Made me lol. It's the sort of rot that my father would like, though. I'll forward it to him. Thanks!

I think he means one of these, for a portable dishwasher

in addition to being (apparently) a doctor of sino-japanese history, this woman is also a porn star. http://www.nipponcinema.com/tag/anri-suzuki/ http://newsolio.com/anri-suzuki-adult-film-star-healing-the-wounds-of-ww2-one-man-at-a-time,10589
