Anyone find a green Petzl Reverso out there lately? Probably on Grassy Ledges somewhere?

I guess I should clarify my "raw" statement... I believe that "processed" foods are generally far less nutritional than "unprocessed" foods. Granted, I am a lowly simpleton with not much ejemakation on da subjekt. Still, I do feel much "healthier" and stronger when abstaining (as much as is feasible) from all the crap and sugar that is inevitably in virtually all processed foods. But of course, Trashie must always put anyone's comments into the proper place. Thanks again oh master of the all that is known about everything. Your enlightenment will surely save all of us from ourselves, we owe you our lives and children...

Yeah, but, pets make great kids. And, you can just eat them with they get boring.

you'r commenting on unsolicited lectures?? W T F! now i have heard just about everything!!! ... Pot/kettle black...

Go RAW baby, RAW!

That's because your girlfriend is super hot.

It was a siege ascent too. First alpine style human powered moon shot byfairmeans ascent is still up for grabs. I'm training to ride my bike there.

That's why we have a pig and cow raised to our "specifications". I once thought about becoming a vegetarian... Not because I love animals, but because I hate vegtables. I love animals, they taste GGGRREEEAAAATTT!

Fixed it fer o-wise one...

No, not a bad argument for what I was pointing out... You CAN still climb without "artificial aid", even if it is available... Whatever. I don't believe bolting is good when other viable options are available. But someone above has a point that any man made stuff used to assist in the mountains is also "man made aid". That is the point I was agreeing with. It boils down to ones own perception of "aid" and/or ones "ethics". These can obviously vary greatly from one person to the other. Why did I even bother getting sucked in here??? I am a dumbass for that.

Without reading this whole thread, I'll chime in and say that there are still plenty of mountains (I'd say all of them) that can be climbed by those hardmen/women without man made aid... NOBODY is forcing anyone to clip a bolt, jug a fixed line, or wear man made clothing. You are always welcome to skip the bolts, leave the rope at home and make your own clothes from hemp, animal hydes (that you of course harvested on your own with, without "man made aid". Sure, you may see the bolts, but you will also see the roads, stores and infrastructures. Just sayin...

I have yet to catch one in the traps, although they have gotten fed plenty and even tripped the traps without getting caught a few times. I set two up last week that they have to go in a tunnel to get the bait, making it much harder to just lean in and snag the food. To my surprise, the bait is still there and the Decon block has not been touched. I'm guessing they all got poisoned. Won't take long for another family to move in, I recon. The last one I saw was incredibly fat and about a foot long. I think it was prolly preggers. Trashie, you will always be the fat rat in my woodpile. sickie BTW, love the new sig... Although it pales in comparison to some of the gems I offered up.

I've been tempted to break out the shotgun, but have resisted the urge, so far.

I'm having a battle royale with rats too... They easily chew holes up in 2x4s , feast on the chicken feed/compost pile. I'm amazed how clever they are at getting the bait off the traps without tripping it. I did manage to club one and squash it recently... Little bastards are driving me nuts.

spending the whooooole weekend out there next week in honor of the end of the first half of the school year - probablly be frigid n' sunless, in honor of me I'm off on Mondays, the final day of the season there. Let's have a get together of some sort like last year...

You forgot spray-impotence...

Don't we all... Well, ok, maybe not Bill.

All fixed :[] That's why god gave us crawl spaces and trunks in our cars... Just put the rugrats in thar and be sure to leave some water and kibbles.

I wonder if a smaller full strength biner would help, make no difference, or get snagged more easily?

How's about an official BRCA mtg @ LOLP ASAP? We can discuss the BRSPCMP, BRSPFPA details, as well as the BRSPSRCC. I'm sure we could also vent about the BRSPCTC, maybe even come up with a tactic to amend that aspect of the BRSPCMP? LCK and I had to have the BRCA meeting without ya'll. Guess you did not get the memo? We managed to remove the closure, solve the bolting issues and re-vamp the BRSPCMP. Well, maybe not all that done, but a good time none the less. Dinner service was a bit slow, but the sushi rocked! The Jagermeister Fairy stopped by to say hello too. Maybe one more meeting before the closure if the weather cooperates? Anyone interested?

LOL!!!!!!!!! I was thinking something along these lines when I got to your reply!!!!!!!! Where can I get me one of THOSE screamers?

Ok, Monday or Thursday nights work good for me... Let's put some feelers out and see who want to come over, have some grub and look at pics. Bring yer old slides...

I'd guess the Grivel set would be cheaper, so long as you buy them at Costco?

What'cha mean that guy is already an animal. I want to see that Denali slide show of his. The story he was telling us was bad ass. Awe shucks, Plaid. But, don't encourage him. Don't get him started! You've been warned!

Meow! Good to see you guys getting after it, rain er shine... How's about an official BRCA mtg @ LOLP ASAP? We can discuss the BRSPCMP, BRSPFPA details, as well as the BRSPSRCC. I'm sure we could also vent about the BRSPCTC, maybe even come up with a tactic to amend that aspect of the BRSPCMP?
