Sure, which is why I just use a standard double runner with pre-tied limiter knots in most cases. I don't have to spend much time analyzing anything. And if it ends up being overkill in some cases, BFD.

Depends on the bolt and the rock, and the fact that the bolts might take repeated 20 foot whippers... that will put some stress on the bolt and or rock over time, and can have some cummulative effect. All situations aren't equal. Draws are fine in some cases, but in others the bolts are back from an edge, and I'll use a sliding x with limiter knots to keep the rope from sliding over the edge. Besides, this discussion isn't just about bolts, it is about the sliding x... my point is that I don't find limiter knots to be a big hassle.

I agree with this. Also, I won't mount an elk head on the wall that I didn't take down myself. I hate it when people just buy an elk head at Walmart and mount it in their den.

I haven't found limiter knots to be a hassle at all, even after the leader lowers through the system on bolts after topping out... and if something were to happen to really load them, I'd be glad they were there. Anyway, I don't mind a bit of hassle to add safety to a system... my life is worth the extra 55 seconds.

We talking a sliding x with no limiter knots? Adding limiter knots still provides good equalization, and reduces the amount of potential extension.

I don't think it matters if sheep push back. That's why their fur is really grippy.

For the longest time, I though GW was just Dan Quayle in disguise, but the more I heard GW speak, I realized that can't be right. GW makes Quayle look like a member of Mensa.

That's true, and it also works with the new pickup line... "Hey baby, you looking for a 2.2 lb worm? I got what you want."

This is cc.com. If our voices weren't half-muffled by the wrinkly balloon knot and half digested corn of our own asshole, no one would be able to understand us. Some of us more than others, but hey, if the corncob fits...

Or unless they are Japanese and have a really good pickup line... "Hey baby, you looking for 2.2 lbs of beef? I got what you want."

Ouch. But to which I'd respond... Do you mind not talking while we're screwing. I'm trying to pretend you're somebody else but your voice is ruining it. That's not talking, sweetie. That's laughter. If god had wanted my erection to be larger, he would have made you better looking.

A sore back could also be a sign that your man-boobs are too big.
