versus private school, which is not enough school, and too much fucking jesus I go to private school and we definitely do enough school

Extra crispy!

I've climbed with the guy at 17/18 seconds... his Mom and my Mom always hung out at the comps...

BACON!

I thought the thread was called 'Bacon' so I was like ,'awesome I love bacon', so I clicked on it and was dissapointed. Have fun trying to climb bacon, its greasy, beacon looks like more fun...

I like my job when Im doing hay.. like loading it into barns and stacking it.. I also like building decks on houses, making cedar decks is the best.. basically, I like my job.

those kids are 'ballin'!

What a crazy dude... 4 feet! and he was soloing, hes a crazy nutcase... that must have been really exposed!

i8rg6Tb_-jg&feature=related This is one tough bird^

solo something impressive, then people will ask you to climb with them and you wont need to solo anymore... unless you do it for fun of course.

I find that i can do both endurance climbs and bouldery climbs, I think this is from climbing in a gym for so long.. the routes I did there were usually 60 degrees overhung and fairly long as they crossed the entire gym.

In math we were doing statements and counterexamples today and my statement was... 'if you have a dick, then you are a guy' and the counterexample was Micheal Jackson..

Aguy I know doesnt have great endurance so hes climbing 5.12 but is sending V10 projects all over the place.. its cool but weird

exactly... when I had a caoch training me I was doing high twelve and V7's.. and now that Im weaker after winter Im doing high 11 and V3/4 it seems like Im a bit more of an endurance climber than a single power move person.. some people are opposite

That what I was thinking except I don't know if I would include the years ago part. Malaria usually gets bad in the evening and your joints tend to ache when the fever is present. Thats weird but I don't think I was ever exposed to that.. but when I got up feverish at night and walked around my ankles really hurt

It seems like everybody boulders way harder than they climb full length routes but I know a lot of people, including myself that climb just as hard as they boulder. I can do a low 12 sport climb but then i boulder at V4/V5. When I trained and focuse harder I could do harder boulder problems for a while but I just never got much better at bouldering than i did at sport climbing. (Trad is a different story). I have friends that can sport climb at mid 5.11 and then boulder v6 wich is a huge difference. I dont know how many of you guys Sport Climb and Boulder (both seem to get burned on a lot here) but I would be interested in seeing where you guys sit in that area...

whoever it is he looks stoned enough to be a 60's rocker

Is your guitar on your back? I dont see it anywhere..

Thats not my story BTW^

ya it does hmmm Maybe they have seen you before huh.. Climbing was fun.. I survived... no deaths occurred... I rarely get sick so Im not very experienced with it... Ive never broken a bone either so Ive only been to the doctors a few times... Im totally fine now. But JMace, I think your from Vancouver where there are lots of clinics but in Agassiz the only doctor refuses to see any more patients for some stupid reason and I wasnt feeling terrible enough to make my Mom get out of bed and drive me out to chilliwack at 11:00, and it wouldnt matter anyways because the doctors there all have 2 week waiting lists to get in. This is tye downside of free health care, lots of dumb people book time to see the doctor cuz of a runnt nose or bruise on their toe and the people that are actually in need of a doctor cant get in. Its not as serious in a big city where there are many doctor offices but in small towns with only a couple offices it doesnt work

Just cuz Im in canada doesnt mean i can just walk into the fucking doctors office whenever I want to.. I live in a small town and the local doctors wont see any patients for some reason and the office in chilliwack couldnt get me in for some reason... I just had a question and you dont have to be such a stupid motherfucker and bitch at me like that you fucking asshole... sorry bout my fucking language All right I know I was being inflammatory but this is a pretty serious point to get across: when you're talking about being dizzy and feverish and falling down stairs this is not a fooling-around situation. Get to a doctor. It seems pretty obvious to me that you are being stupid about your health. Thanks you for your concern but I just got better and all my fevers have stopped! Im totally helthy and happent to be going climbing now..

sick...its from Waynes Epic Page...This story is so brutal, I will stick with just the facts, maam. Labor day 1994 It was the year of my divorce and I was very messed up by it. I was depressed constantly and today was no exception. Tim and I head for a new route on Wind mt on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge. There was a big dihedral at the top of an 800 foot wall. The approach was a very bad talus field. The approach pitches were typical bad Gorge 4th class and alot of it. When we got to the last few hundred feet of the wall, it steepend into the climb itself.The approach to it was very steep though too. It led to a cave that had an old and broken bolt just off the deck. Someone had tried it before. It didnt have a proper belay though, so Tim set about with the cordless roto to put in a couple of bolts. In my impatient state I started up. After 20 feet up I notice the rock getting loose. I was still not on belay . Tim had not even tied into the rope. I saw a fixed pin another 10 feet up and thought it would be safe to get to it. It didnt seem like it was a good piece and the webbing made me think it was an ancient back off. I wasnt going to go any further until Tim had me on. I was curious as to what was ahead though, so I leaned back . The entire rock face around and below then cut loose . I was falling in slow motion in an asteroid belt. The first collision happened at 60 feet. I went for a giant bounce on my way to an 600 foot fall. 20 feet later the rocks suddenly sped up. That meant I was stopping, but how? Tim dropped the drill and grabbed the rope as it sizzled by with his bare hands. It had ran through the broken bolt.It held and I was stopped at the end of my first bounce. The wind was knocked out of me for minutes. I couldnt see Tim but could hear him freaking out. I wanted to tell him I was relatively OK, but I couldnt talk or move well. I knew I had broken bones but coudnt tell how many. My back felt awful as I had hit on my tailbone. Tim fixed the line an scampered to a place he could see me. I gave him a thumbs up and the rescue was on. It took hours and the walk down was terrible.We eventually made it the hospital for x-rays and Tim had his hands bandaged. Thanks Tim, You saved more than my life. I apologize too for the situation, I know it wasnt easy for you, Wayne I went back a couple of weeks later in a cast to retrieve the gear we left. Steve Elder later went and did the route solo. The rock scar is visible from the Oregon side of the Gorge. The Indians consider the mountain cursed.

Just cuz Im in canada doesnt mean i can just walk into the fucking doctors office whenever I want to.. I live in a small town and the local doctors wont see any patients for some reason and the office in chilliwack couldnt get me in for some reason... I just had a question and you dont have to be such a stupid motherfucker and bitch at me like that you fucking asshole... sorry bout my fucking language I thought the Canadian Health Care System was much better than the US. Weird. It usually is but in a small little town in the country the system isnt quite as good as in a bigger city like vancouver.... If I chpped my arm off or something serious like that there wouldnt be any problem getting into a hospital obviously but things like fever often dont cut it... especially late at night

Just cuz Im in canada doesnt mean i can just walk into the fucking doctors office whenever I want to.. I live in a small town and the local doctors wont see any patients for some reason and the office in chilliwack couldnt get me in for some reason... the next part wasnt very nice so I edited it

yep, fall factor is about 1. shock load will be below 5kN as long as he weighed less than 200 lbs or so. there are a couple of calculation tools you can google for that calculate this stuff based on typical rope stretch Ya, I weighed about 90 ibs then..
