  1. Ma blonde est de Québec. Nous allons voyager en France à quelque temp. Je voudrais visiter les montagnes des Pyrenées et des hauts Alps et peut-être Bretagne aussi. Je doute que nous grimperions.
  2. Oops, I meant to reply to kboner. Glenn Beck has started his own online "University".
  3. And now he has started his own online "University".
  4. The yellows: #8 BD Stopper, #1 Metolius TCU and #2 Camalot.

    Spraying about your kid is just as narcissistic yet somehow acceptable.
  6. You can also try the partners forum @ http://squamishclimbing.com/squamish_climbing_bb/index.php
  7. If you can tell the difference then you should already know the answer.
  8. My friends with the worst climbing related injuries were roped. You have the same elements of control over the risk you take bouldering, soloing or roped climbing. The edges between them can blur. When does a high-ball become a solo? A bouldery start ends at the first clip/piece. With the exception of top-roping you are generally risking serious injury on some level and rely on your judgment and skill to save your ass.
  9. I've noticed that your guitar, Van Halen and 80's metal thread count has been down lately. What's up? You didn't even reply to the Triple Rectifier or JCM800 thread?!
  10. I just noticed yesterday that I own a lot of brown shirts...
  11. Climbing's got nothing on what I used to do to myself skateboarding.
  12. I'd want to know how far I would swing out if I released myself from the anchor and how long it to take to be swinging less than a few feet or so.
  13. Droppin' science like when Galileo dropped his orange...
  14. The fall factor comes from the fact that the spring coefficient of the rope is inversely proportional to the length of rope that's in use. I'll defer to Richard Goldstone for the rest of the proof: http://jt512.dyndns.org/StandardEqn.pdf Somebody should write an iPhone App version of http://jt512.dyndns.org/impactcalc.html for use on lead.
  15. I realized that just as I posted.
  16. WOW! If I just had that in my head while climbing I would be a bad ass I can send you a copy of my thesis if you want. It's filled with gems just like that one. A good cure for insomnia.

    I know there's a joke in there somewhere involving hot air and farts...

    Netbooks

    Big harddrive generally means shorter battery life since it will be a magnetic drive instead of a SSD.

    You're right, you should get a netbook. Look on CL. Lots of people are probably unloading them after getting a magical iPad. Cash in before they come to their senses.

    It has Bluetooth and WIFI. Who plugs things in anymore?
  21. Red Bull isn't going to be out there micro-managing all of these projects but it doesn't matter if they're directly responsible or not. You want to punish the kid and the guides you go after their bankroll: Red Bull.
