When dealing with bears you must remember only one thing: You needent be faster than the bear, just the gun-toting macho, ex-infantry companion you take with you!

YES!!! But keep in mind that while you might learn by doing, you really learn when you F%#K up! Just make sure you start WELL BELOW your comfort level when you start placing your own gear!

You haven't been posting much lately, andrew. The honeymoon must still be going on... 8D They were garbage bags... Ivan says his soft shell is worthless! Ivan, the was for the softshell, not the trashbags!

Your spray is the spray of light-hearted humor - as long as you understand not to take anything too seriously... The people that get pissed off are the ones who think there is a tone that comes through on the internet, of which there is none

Joe, do you ever sleep?

I was up about 45 feet so i am just fine... no eye damage to me!

Musta been if you needed to climb without yer shirt

Oh... is that all, bill?

This is their best application in pro - if you ask the old guys they'll tell ya, "We did it all with hex nuts and wired stoppers..." With enough work you could be saying the same thing

Bright hunter's orange...

After that there are half a dozen climbs at ozone that could use some road signs!

Will, lets just get a stencil and put arrows all over the place - it'll be funny

High and Wild: A Mountaineers World - Galen Rowell Addicted to Danger - Jim Wickwire :tup: Seven Summits - Dick Bass and Rick Ridgeway :tup: (very inspirational!) The Climb - Anatoly Boukreev :tup: The Eiger Obsession - John Harlin III (interesting read, but no thumbs up)* Moments of Doubt - David Roberts Touching the Void - Joe Simpson :tup: :tup: The white Spider - Heinrich Harrer :tup: :tup: FOTH - The Mountaineers :tup: :tup: The Dharma Bums - Jack Kerouac (this is about many things, not just mountaineering) :tup: :tup: *Not that I didn't like Harlin's III book or writing, but it seemed more like a bio and the history of his climbing life leading up to his ascent of the eiger moreso than a specific story leading up to one particular climb, and if any book on my top ten favs was not going to get any thumbs then it would be this one - but the book still makes my top ten favs!

That was funny shit when the phone rang at Jim;s that night and he said it was probably you before he picked up... I couldn't stop laughing laughed so hard it shook my buzz

The credits in the movie list John and not jeff, though, so you are only wrong, wrong...

hee hee hee - this shit is funny

The rope has a fray - I cut it off for you...

Sure, I agree, but I refuse to comment any further because if I do I won't get laid for a month.

great shit RJ!

Actually, no I mean John Long ... related to john long the climber - wait! Same guy. Check imdb.com

Yeah, that was on spiderman a while ago...

I'd like to thank the academy for making this possible, and of course, SATAN...!
