  1. Some people are more succeptable than others. Acetazolamide will likely make your forays into the mountains more enjoyable and likely safer at higher altitudes. If you decide to use it, take some while at home to understand how it affects you. Lots of people get peri-oral tingling and some other side effects like increased urination. Very few have an allergic reaction (usually those with sulphonamide allergy). I work a lot at altitude and some people are just plain miserable above altitude x without meds.
  2. Ditto, until I started living at 8,800 ft ASL.
  3. lvhandbagsyu@yahoo.com is his e-mail. He has just been signed up for an ass ton of porn mailers.
  4. Furthermore, I don't really want a "zero penalty" crag climb. The penalty for f-ing with gravity is usually death. I will save risking my ass for the high peaks and use crags for working on my technique and having a fun day away from the house/work.
  5. Many of you know I am more in the anti-bolt crowd than most. This is simply retro-bolting and is in keeping with the ethics of the area. If it had never had a bolt before, than leave it as is. It already had a bolt and all the retro-bolter did was make the bolt safer. Was the bolt capable of holding a fall when it was originally placed? Damn sure was. The route is simply as safe as it was when the original bolt was placed and for that, I thank the bolter. Simply stated, this is no different than what we have done here to update much of the hardware in the "Garden." Dangerous hardware that it dangerous because of neglect is ludicrous. Climbing stupid does not make you a hardman; it just makes you stupid; or dead. (and this has happened here several times with people clipping old pitons/buttonheads less than a mile from my house here.)

    peace

    Shit's bad for job security.
  7. I got the vert and 45* section up. I just need to get a few more sheets of ply wood and and waiting on the tee nuts I ordered and my holds which should be here tomorrow! Pics will be up as soon as I get working on it tomorrow. Oly, I wish I could have done it wider, but space constraints were getting me.
  8. Building today. Have a 18 inch vert section followed by 10 feet of 45* then 10 ft of 90* roof. I'll post pics later. Thanks Rudy.
  9. Yes, the pinto would be fucked. No doubt about that.
  10. Bring it over. Let's see. 40mm High Explosive coming out fully auto has a way of destroying just about everything.
  11. I haven't read so much bullshit since I had perused the 1946 Western Stockmans quarterly report on manure disposal. Holy shit. But he's right
  12. LOL DING DING DING! If you want to hang out with these people year round, they are in Manitou Springs, Co.
  13. I trump you by actually sitting behind a real MK19 right now.
  14. So he was gay? You have issues kid. Try jerking off with a belt around your neck.
  15. she said....
  16. Hate to say it, but I might be voting to give BHO another another term. The GOP candidates have the combined IQ of an inbred golden retriever and the 3rd party candidates all seem to be running around with tin-foil hats screaming "ANARCHY!"
  17. Defense HAS been cut. 50,000 DOD wide will get the axe and many high dollar and low dollar projects have already been axed. Now, this money will just go into another project and be wasted there... Sadly enough, this is how politicians think. Much like todays modern white trash buying a $5000 TV with zero down.
  18. Mmmm real coffee. You don't know how much you love it until you miss it.
  19. Fixed it douche.
  20. Thanks Rudy, after seeing your kid crank, I know that is some good info.
  21. What angle did you guys make your kid's rock climbing wall? I just had a kid and am building a huge timber framed monstrosity of a fort and am contemplating how I will do the rock climbing section. Already have a cargo net and fast rope for sliding down from work. This is gonna be fun!
  22. She looks dirty. If she washes her leggins and takes a shower, and lays off the patchoulli, I might think about it.
  23. Rigging for Rescue in Ouray did testing on screamers and it was very positive actually. The screamers decreased peak force and deployed with amazing predictability.
