Was looking at the Patagucci stretch element, but was wondering about the h2no stuff they use. How does it compare with lets say event, and or goretex? I guess what I'm asking is, "is this jacket worth the money?"

you could always send them to me for testing...

Just for the record I live in Ohio. It sucks and I heart Washington. I am insanely jealous of alpine climbers right now because the highest "mountain" in columbus is the f-king resevoir dam. I just wish I could climb where you guys climb all the time.

want the jacket. pm sent

When tying any overhand or variations of (figure eight, etc...) I like to clip a biner into the last loop of the knot, so it is dressed with the biner clipped into the last part of the knot, around the last two strands. This makes it a million times easier to tear down an anchor if it has been weighted at all because the knot doesn't cinch tight due to the biner being there. It's useful for sliding x's with limiter knots, equallette, cordolettes...

I'm curious as to why all the mountie bashing?

how much

I know you thought ms. piggy was hot, but any interest in the pants?

Almost brand new North Face UV protective nylon zip-off pants/shorts, size medium, 32" inseam, olive drab color. Wore for 2 days on a backpacking trip and realized they were a bit short for my lankiness. Cost was 65$ new first $35 + shipping from ohio gets it. Thanks

This is like the time I bought a pizza from pizza hut at a taco bell, ate 3/4 of it, realized it was expired by like 15 minutes (after I got home and ate 3/4 of it), then took it back and said it was expired and cold. I got all "wtf do you mean I can't get my $5 back?" So the manager was scared and pooped in his pants and gave me $5 to not 'roid rage on him. True story-ask my girlfriend.

not a true newbie-correct. but what is the correct way to belay for these single pitch endeavors? should I sling a tree/whatever at the base or just hope my belayer or me doesn't bump our noggin and drop each other. But I think I've just answered my own question.

Well, I'm contemplating getting some quickdraws and learnin' me how to sport climb, but I am cornfused about how one keeps oneself from getting ripped off your stance when your partner falls? sklag

I know that there have been a lot of technological advances since then, but for a piece of pro, would you use one if it weren't chewed and looked like shit, and guaranteed never dropped from any serious height? just curious if I should just pony up the cash or use the decent ones out of this batch?

The photos, I just took. If you need more yell back. Thanks, Sklag

hey, I just got a rack from a friend at work and was going through the pieces... Have some forged friends, just wondering how to tell the age of these for trigger rebuild purposes? Wild country says there are batch codes, but I can't find them on these. Thanks

That's it. I'm already brain damaged enuff as is.

dude, you don't even need that tent. It's way too much tent for anything.

interested in the attache and atc, OR hat, and maybe the microlight jacket thanks

ah, the good ole precordial wallup! It was a Wham, Bam, Thank you ma'am ,er sir, situation.

Olympus 770sw is a sweet camera, I have one and I second Crmlla2007's post. As far as durability, well I dropped it down an 80 ft waterfall-and by some grace of divine intervention it works fine and only has two little scratches on the side. It's shock, freeze, crush, and water proof. I took it to baker and got some sweet shots.

If I were 30 years old is that too old to learn mountaineering and become fairly safe within a few years? Just wondering because i planned on moving out to the pnw this year but circumstances dictate otherwise. Just asking for your 2 cents-is 29/30 too old?

why don't you just tie an overhand with the loops after completing a finished Bow? This "double ties" the knot. I also just tuck my shoelaces that are floppin about into the top of my boot if the laces are long.

for real, just got an entire r1 set, tops and bottoms for 90.00 use code n6255 for 15%off- covers shipping at least. May have other stuff for the more "stout" climbers out there. go to featured web specials for the r1 pants, and to men's sale tops for the r1 tops. unfortunately they only have Army green. I was wanting an orange like the bright orange but alas... tis not to be. Oh, well just lettin y'all know.

if it were, he'd probably be looking for 75% off of any leftover food...hehe

pm sent about timbuk 2 bag thanks
