It's obsolete. The common climber has evolved, and can easily develop the proper skills and equipment to climb and descend without the aid of cables. If you scrap the cables, the zoo is gone as the non-climbers go find somewhere else to be dangerous to themselves and others.
That stuff just doesn't belong there, history is a poor excuse for the eyesore and the insult to nature (not to mention the apparent invitation for people who have no business being on the side of that rock face).
Dude, you suck.

One common method is to set up your new drive as a slave and format/partition it. Copy your files to a partition on this new disk, and then switch it to master, reboot on the new disk and reinstall windows and your apps. Imaging software comes in real handy in these circumstances.
But what makes you think you need a new harddrive? Did you replace the board and memory with faster hardware, or just new versions of the same thing? I would recommend running a scandisk/defrag on the existing drive first.
You should also pop some more memory into the board. I would have done this first. You should aim for a gig. You're running XP, right?

jump rope
Try to do 20-30 minutes. If you keep missing a step, you either need more practice, or need to change your footwork. If you keep doing the same jump the whole time, your muscles will fatigue and you are more likely to miss a step. I change my footwork every couple minutes to prevent this.
Also, try playing music with about 120-130 beats-per-minute while skipping. This helps keep your pace up.

That's worksafe.

Rockin. Thanks!

I'm cursed with cold hands, and now that it's getting cooler, I find myself climbing a lot with numb fingers. I hate numb fingers!
I'm looking for a good glove that can handle light/moderate technical rock. Is there such a thing?
Someone recommended OR's Alibi glove -- said it was real sticky. Any advice? Or should I just suck it up?
TIA

Is it safe to use a flemish bend to join cord/rope? Someone admonished me the other day for using it. I was under the impression that it was safe, and I sometimes use it instead of a double-fisherman's because I find it easier to untie after loading.
This is the first I've heard that this is unsafe. Now, I do know better than to use a flat-eight, and I thought perhaps he had simply confused the two. I tried to point out the difference, but he seemed pretty adamant. He said that the knot could spill under load.
But I thought I'd ask around anyway. Is this guy smoking crack?
TIA!

Friends of Skinner said he had ordered several new harnesses but they hadn't yet arrived in the mail.
Fuck, that's so sad.

mmmm....Rudy's.
Sounds like a great trip.

Gratz!

I was going to get a fuzzy monster outfit and throw on a leisure suit and go as the boogie-monster, but my wife says that's too dumb, even for me.

thanks for the great advice, guys. Cheers!

Should I loosen all my knots before a climb so that they can all "tighten"?

Check out Muralla Grande at Sandia.
Good sport climbing at Enchanted Tower, not too far from ABQ.
Hit up Rudy's for BBQ after climbing.

Don't they have Doctors and anti-malarial medication in Thailand?

Because I was just kidding, whereas you're serious.
No offense, but I think you take this board too seriously. Relax, take some deep breaths and go climbing.

I know, cause they always make fun of my shorts over polypro.

Don't quote me.

This exploitation of the proletariat at the hands of moderators must cease.

I don't see why more people aren't furious at this attempt to remove this basic safeguard from the justice system. What is the Bush administration afraid of? If the POW's that Bush is filling Cuba with are so criminal, then why is he so worried about needing to prove this to a court?

Yes, I see that you are brimming with concern. My mistake.
