Maybe I'll sell somebody my shirt for $100 and then donate that money too. Depends how sexy I look in it though. :: Think of it this way: Besides Index kicking ass, the time and gas money difference from driving somewhere further 50 times a year. Worth at least a 50 spot without anything in return.

Nice! Hope to see a lot of these shirts sending some cracks this year!

Thanx. This is the route I was leaning towards, at least for the drive down.

^^^Word^^^. Tie your tent down. Don't speed in the camp ground. A guidebook is prolly a good call. Get the extra insurance on your rental car that way you can rally on the way to Black Velvet canyon. There's free wifi by the coffee place - by BJ's grille across from Red Rock Casin-yo. That pizza place by Albertson's is pretty good. Booze is cheaper in vegas. When driving on the loop road - if you drive slow, stay to the right so we can pass you.

What's the best driving route? I-5 vs. I-84 vs. some super secret way. Forecast looks good for when I'm leaving this weekend. Google sayz they're pretty close to the same. I've done the I-5 way before, but don't remember it because .

Those are the most chalked up hands that I have ever seen!

Kayfire, You wasted your $$$ when you went for a higher grade gas! Juss Sayin.

Pretty good 4cast for Saturday. S E N D!

What are you thinking about climbing?

I've seen enough fat asses on the picture box - Shows called "The 1/2 Ton Teenager". Pull one of those guys out onto the ice, wrap 'em up in a "uniform" and prop 'em up with their hockey stick. Prolly cover the whole goal. Dey took ur jobs! ::

Sorry to hear. This guy was a shredder.

All 3 of them landed on the train tracks between the LTW and the LTW parking lot. We thought the 1st chute pull was a huge rock coming down too.

:tup: to the BASE Jumpers on LTW!

Stack may have went off the deep end, and killing innocent people is wrong - But... the dude said a lot of what, I bet many of us say after we've had a few . Agree, knocking off a politico would be better use of crashing a plane.

Have a good trip!

What is the concensus with these diameters? Would you always set up the rap so that you were pulling the 8mm, or are the diameters close enough? Actually 9.9 vs 8. I'm going to use a 1/2 rope as my tag line. I'm nervous about stuck ropes on this trip, so I'm leaning against a static, skinnier tag line.

There's lots of different contact lenses, and some fit better and are more comfortable than others. Get some that you can keep in for extended periods of time (like a week or more) - started doing this last year sometime, and it's f*cking awesome. Nothing like taking out and putting in contacts daily, after about a week with no shower or real hand washing.

Index was pretty good on Saturday. It was pretty surprising to find most of the routes dry (at least the ones I looked at). There were a lot of cars in the LTW parking lot, but didn't see too many peeps at the LTW.

What's celcius? Nice to see some NW action in February.

Look the other way? But what about the TPS reports...

Agreed. I would think that a bigger block of time (more than 2 weeks) off would rejuvinate you and help you have a more positive view towards your work life (reduce the burnout). It's pretty depressing looking forward to a week off here and there, and maybe the occasional 3 day weekend. Burn some of the time with family, and spend some on the significant other, and you have little remaining for personal usage. Most US companies can't afford to offer large amounts of paid time off. And, for many US working stiffs, the idea of taking unpaid time off in any large amount is unrealistic (if its offered), due to debt and lack of liquid savings. Up until about 2 years ago, I felt guilty taking time off beyond my paid vacation. Now, I would prefer to have the time off in lieu of the money I would make.

Word!

How are other routes in that area put up? Is it worth bolting - could it just be a toprope? Why do you have to bolt it on lead - are you trying to onsite it ? If you were to rap bolt it, it doesn't mean the pro has to be ridiculous. Is this 20m route going to be a significant line, or setting a standard at the crag?

Why climb? So I can brag about it on the interwebs.
