yeah, it is negative. Is criticizing Rudy about whether his kid should or shouldn't wear a helmet really the point of this thread? It's his own damn kid, not mine. And it's not like it's some one-time thing -- like I said before, there is always some little snarky comment from Kevbone whenever rudy posts about his son. Fucking annoying.

I wonder why kevbone always has to say something negative whenever rudy posts something about his kid rocking it? What was it he said last time? "Nice spray" I don't get it.

jesus christ! what are you feeding that kid?

This is a great way to do it, except that it can be a bit harder to escape the belay in case of accidents (and it does use up a bit more rope). However, don't forget to clove the rope back to your harness. John Long actually recommends that you clove the rope back to your harness after every second piece to avoid setting up a death triangle, and to allow for equalization.

Ah, I see. So it's the classic Republican tale of the conservative who attracts the very middle class citizens he is harming with his policies. That's the strangest part of conservatism, I'll never understand it.

I'll personally drive this guy to Paradise, if that's what it takes. SO GLAD I'm not married

Lighten up, francis

Man, how embarrassing. Can you imagine? I'm not sure I could maintain a relationship with someone after something like this. And she posted this basically to the entire nw climbing community -- And his poor friend, all messed up from his near-death experience, or whatever. Way to go, I'm sure he really wanted that announced to the whole world. I know it's the newbie's forum, but being honest isn't necessarily spray.

The Mounties publish a pretty good book called "Climbing Self Rescue" or something, it goes over the rescue spider. I'm assuming that's what you mean? You should get it, it's very practical

but they're not the same thing!

LOL - The mere though makes me Catatonic. opps, shhh, terrorist cat is not "amuzed". Lol, yr gonna get in trouble for photos like that. I'm telling Obama.

Hmm, I guess it just feels wrong. I could see in a kiwi coil how it wouldn't be the end of the world, but why not just use a butterfly? Just as easy to tie, and superior. It would bug me all day long.

are you talking about tying-in? I would never use a clove hitch as my main tie-in knot. Use an alpine butterfly or a bowline-on-a-bight

so, not you then?

Awesome! i wish I could roll off the couch (or the beach) and climb this kind of stuff.

poor Israel

No offense, but you sound more like his mother than his wife. Does he know you're posting anonymously about him and his friend here? I feel smothered just by proxy. Here's how I see it: Your husband wants to go do something. He thinks it's fine. You think it isn't. You've probably already told him your concerns, and apparently he is going to do it anyway, or you wouldn't be posting this question. So now what are you gonna do? Go back to him and say you asked a bunch of anonymous climbers on the internet and they all agree with you? And then he's gonna change his mind, right? Interested what your game plan is, here....

you've really got to look at both sides of this issue

I'm still waiting for gold to hit 6 million an ounce like Bill predicted last year. GOLD!!!!

I would have replied to this important thread earlier, buy I was locked up in a secret Obama prison

drones are awesome, kill the bad guys.

Just this morning I saw an Obama drone take out a guy with a Romney sticker on his car. He's totally out of control!!!
