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.

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.)

Shit's bad for job security.

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.

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.

Yes, the pinto would be fucked. No doubt about that.

Bring it over. Let's see. 40mm High Explosive coming out fully auto has a way of destroying just about everything.

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

LOL DING DING DING! If you want to hang out with these people year round, they are in Manitou Springs, Co.

I trump you by actually sitting behind a real MK19 right now.

So he was gay? You have issues kid. Try jerking off with a belt around your neck.

she said....

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!"

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.

Mmmm real coffee. You don't know how much you love it until you miss it.

Fixed it douche.

Thanks Rudy, after seeing your kid crank, I know that is some good info.

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!

She looks dirty. If she washes her leggins and takes a shower, and lays off the patchoulli, I might think about it.

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.

It ain't getting increased champ. Let me tell you! Our bennies are on the chopping block. Retirement is being pared and free health care culled. Now, there are those that abuse the medical system in order to get over and get disability and they are ruining it for those that actually need it. Same goes to PTSD. When you have soccer moms in California claiming PTSD after watching 9/11 on TV, it becomes a joke really quickly. In my line of work, sports medicine type injuries are extremely commonplace as are back issues. Now, the government wants us to pay a large copay to subsidize costs. As fucked up as my body is, that shit could bankrupt me! LOL So, you see, the military is a mirror image of the problems in the Nation's economy. Our decline has just been accelerating exponentially, while the Nation's economy just continues its gradually accelerating decline.

I've been shot twice, jumped out of countless airplanes, been crushed under inhumane pack loads and generally abused and am, as an active duty military member, already in excess of 30% disability (if I were to get out today). If I had no retirement/ disability to make up for my service induced inability to earn, what is the possibility that I could provide for my family into my retirement; especially if I am unable to work in my field past 40? Some might not deserve their pensions, but I, for one, think I deserve mine. If the federal government fucks with my retirement and disability benefits, I will have no choice but to leave the service and many other experienced leaders will too. They have already had us do more with less for so long, it is only a matter of time until the rumors that our paychecks will be casualties will come to fruition as well. This is a symptom of the larger problem: Output exceeds input. The system can only last for so long and the military is dealing with the same ominous destruction that the economy is facing. The military and the economy are both casualties to the political bickering of congress. This shortsightedness will cost us decades of rebuilding and we may never fully recover. And I agree. Soldiers are in a separate category, asked to do what most would not consider at the whim of soft-handed politicians. The pentagon budget needs to be cut on some of the worthless programs pushed by bring-home-the-bacon pols. Do we really need to be spending twice as much for our military as the combined rest of the world? Pensions for the troops, medical benefits, family support, and post-conflict GI benefits should be solidified and increased. It is quite different than a public desk job. Issue with the military is that a huge majority are no longer even "fighters." The beaurocracy has consumed the military. We are being told to get rid of 50,000 troops and unfortunately, we will be getting rid of the wrong ones. There are soldiers that are 300 lbs and pathetically ineffectual at a job that is not even necessary in the first place. Marry that with a federal government that insists on fighting a war, while not trying to win it is a recipe for wasted money by the trillions.
