I didn't mean it.

I hate you all for this thread

"hunny"? OMFG

they make me happier, too!

leggo my ego

isn't it strange that guys still insult each other by calling into question their gender? Hell, I wish *i* had a vagina and a set of tits sometimes.

Um, Bug, I'm sorry, but Drasurius or whatever her name is did not get shit for "being new."

People in Thailand never get sick, though

did another undersea cable get cut?

Great and dad come to mind It's hard to be a great dad and a climber. Maybe you can give me tips, cause sometimes I feel like I'm not succeeding at either.

yeah, but she's such a troll....

At least she likes herself, cause nobody else seems to.

Yay Ron Paul. Let's end birthright citizenship and leave the U.N. -- that will keep all them pesky immigrants out. Then we'll disband the IRS and the ATF, and we'll be free to shoot machine guns and distill whiskey all day, just like them founding father's intended. Yee-haw! Don't need to worry about all them taxes, neither. God helps those that help themselves. And all the homeless people can go back to the sweatshops (since they'll be empty after sending home all the illegals.) Viva la revolucion!

BTW, remember to NOT smoke pot in the Muir hut. Some people are very sensitive about it.

primitive sport. I must be missing the part of my brain that enjoys violence, or something. I saw part of the superbowl with some friends a few years ago and I felt like I was with a bunch of cavemen.

IMO, if you're going to carry coils, both the leader and second should have some "just in case."

I worked with a guy who saw combat in Vietnam and was there during the Tet. He didn't talk about it a lot but he described some pretty intense urban fighting. He ended up getting shot in the elbow and was sent home. It sounds like we inflicted some pretty heavy casulties on the enemy under some pretty intense conditions. Our Marines are pretty tough. Too bad they're abused by our government -- they deserve better.

When leading out along ridges, simulclimbing or otherwise, in addition to placing gear, I like to drape the rope on alternating sides of horns and other features I encounter along the way -- i.e. first the rope passes a horn on the left, then on the right, etc. Ditto on keeping a few pieces of bomber gear in. I would not feel comfortable simulclimbing if the gear was not good, or if there was no pro (i.e. chossy gully). The same goes for steep snow. I always like to keep at least a small coil with me when simulclimbing. I don't like the idea of being at the end of the rope in an emergency.

so where's this movie night at?

don't forget the backup overhand

I love this site

Backoff, KKK -- she's a hardcore mountain climber, don't you get it? Besides, that guy's head looks like a butt-plug.

if you gotta get the ladies drunk, you're not doing it right.

Lowbrow? I'm the mother-fuckin renaissance man, bitch.
