first off, CONGRATS man! that's awesome... secondly, kids, particularly some more than others don't necessarily fall the way an adult does... let me just say that my son, age 9, recently made an onsight attempt of a route (damn near had it) but fell off with his foot behind the rope going right...long sideways swinging arc, scraped several of his stickers on the side of his helmet...now any of you mothers want to tell me that helmet was unnecessary? Plus i can guarantee you that kid has one of the better lead heads out there, adult or kid, and physical capabilities to match... yeah, that's right...do what you want with your kid, but mine's wearing his helmet when we are outside... Rudy, I'm not saying that helmets are unneccessary. I'd never let my daughter climb without one. What I'm saying is, you're a dickhead, -- calling this other guy a dumbass just because he was excited about taking his daughter out for her first lead and didn't put a helmet on her. He said he learned his lesson about the helmet, and said he bought one for her, but still you have to create this post here to shit all over him and his accomplishment. It's almost like you're making sure everyone knows how much cooler you and your kid are. You're always better than everyone else, aren't you? Can't let anybody else be excited about their kids, you've got to call them a dumbass and roll your eyes at them. You don't know anything about this guy, or his relationship with his daughter or what kind of guidance he gave her (or not) about watching the rope around her leg. You're a douche, and you can suck it.

I always make my kids wear helmets on their bike. That's why I hunt out people on the internet who don't, so I can make sure everyone knows how much better I am than they are.

I'm kidding! I'd totally never do that.

Thats OK, minx, I'll spray on the climbing forum a few times for you.

guy is an idiot. Incidentally, that laurel emblem he claims is related to the "UN" is more realistically a take on Scientology's emblem for their sea organization, given that the site is an anti-scientology site, and the emblem looks just like theirs. guy is smoking too much pot

Here's a nice example ^ Oh you are so clever! Were you up all night thinking that one up? Hey Kenny, when are you going to post a trip report?

Personally, I would not go today. But, that's no reason you shouldn't! Why not just go and check it out? You never know until you go. Worst case? You make the drive for nothing. At least you'll get out and you can always walk around and scope out climbs for your ticklist. You'll learn more about yourself and how much rain you're willing to tolerate, etc. and that's how you gain experience.

I don't know you, but I'm pretty sure you've got something stuck up your ass.

Is this supposed to be a big deal? Sounds cool to me. Yeah, fail for no helmet, but he said he learned his lesson about that. Is this gonna turn into another one of those lame rant-fests where everyone can pile on some guy they don't even know with their shock and outrage over his perceived teaching methods? Hey, I know, let's judge him as a parent, too! Chuckleheads. YEE-HAW

Not it!

If Kevbone left, then who would be the village idiot?

I just do it for the lulz

You don't HAVE to heat it. It has nothing to do with vaporization point, or whatever. Heating just increases the solubility of the THC in whatever fats and oils you're cooking it with so that it can be more readily digested by the stomach. Also, heating it helps convert carboxylic acid THC derivatives into THC, thus increasing the potency of the product. But you don't HAVE to. THC is insoluble in water, so it just isn't as bioavailable to the human digestive system if not combined with fats or alchohol. That's why it works so well when you cook it up with oil or butter. You can also make tinctures. Or, so I've read.

The kind of stuff I want to grow in my garden, they won't let me.

I feel exactly the same way. Every now and then, somebody comes along who is earnest and actually wants to climb and, in my experience, they've always had plenty of people willing to help out on this board. It's the, "I want to climb rainier, will anyone take me?" that don't get responses. Incidentally, I've met nearly all of my climbing "mentors" through this site, or through people I've met on this site. CC.com has made me a better climber, without a doubt. I love you guys sickie

8 year olds, dude

Capt'n Crunch is a cereal rapist.

$2000? I'm sure we could take up a collection.

That rob guy is a total wank. I hate him.

OMG YOU POSTED A PICTURE OF HIM CLIMBING!!! BURN!!!! How's yr guitar playing coming, nancy-boy? Been climbing much?

fucking dog ate my stash. Bitch ass president.

Interesting. I use 2 1/2 tugs to take the leader off, and 3 1/4 tugs to put the follower on. But, that can get confusing because 2 3/8 tugs means that I'm clipping, so sometimes my belayer takes me off as I'm trying to clip because he thinks I did 2 1/2 instead of 2 3/8, which is a problem. But, if I fall, I just give the rope another 1 5/8 tugs, and he puts me back on real quick, because, after all, 2 3/8 + 1 5/8 = 4 tugs, which is what we use to say, "put me back on belay because I'm falling." It's a little confusing, but at least we don't have to scream at each other.

I spent the morning walking around putting electrical tape underneath computer mice in random offices, to block the optical sensors. I probably just single-handedly caused thousands of dollars in lost productivity. Now I'm drinking beer and spraying online. And they're paying me for this. Plus, I have a fantastic cock. Suck a vag, chuckleheads!
