Back on the market! (Dude got confused and wanted CFBPs) Send me a PM if'n you wants da goods yo. How about 200$?

I think someone's just jealous

Next time you can relieve yourself of said torture by driving N to Jasper, and returning direct via Kamloops!

strickland, if they ever make a movie about cc.com, that casting call would be perfect!! "Here's Johnny!"

For good girlfriend routes and stuff to get your feet wet on in the Near Trapps and a bit further down the road: Tipsy Trees (.3) Minty (.3) High Exposure - which lives up to its name!! (.6) Whats that Hans Kraus classic? Horseman? (.5) Do those routes, then re-assess whether you want to get on anything harder!

cbs, in my experience placing an alien as you describe eliminates one of the better holds right there, and is a psychological piece at best. If you fall with a piece there, you are going to head right down into the slot beneath your feet, which to me seems more ankle breaker than a longer swing back below the belay ledge. The pro I ended up using is "none of the above". I place a #2 camalot in a smaller crack above the roof (out of view in this photo), directly above and slightly left of the belay ledge. You have to climb up to it a little off the belay to place it, then climb down again to the ledge and do the traverse.

Sold!

Jens, Carnival Crack is good value and close to the road so easily added to any wide crack enchainment!

shit, if mvs can pose on it, any 5.3 leader can send

I had an interview yesterday where one of the questions was to write a function in unmanaged C++ that would take an image within another image and flip it horizontally, vertically, or both, given a pointer to memory, height, width and Rectagle parameters. After that, contemplating mirrors makes me

sweet! Wartleys is good!

WWDHD? (What Would Dan - Do?)

Did you take up sailing? This has been know to drastically reduce climbing enjoyment at times. Otherwise, did you meet a SO recently? If so, more important things in life might be on your mind. Otherwise, no idea.

welcome back fairweather!

I would vote for Kerry/McCain. McCain might be a republican, but he seems to really try to get shit done, whether it be with Lieberman (who I dislike) or Kerry or others...He seems to be a free enough thinker that he can be non-status quo on traditionally challenging issues for Republicans. NRDC recently did a large spread on him after he became a very vocal advocate for the global warming camp.

i hate to say it, but the american voting public doesnt give a shit they are more interested in Janet's tit, Britney's virginity, and the start of baseball season than something half a world away that is virtually invisible....in other words the lack of huge numbers of american casualties have eased the nerves of Joe Q Public, and he can return to his regularly scheduled programming. the US military learned in Vietnam that anything can be pulled off as long as the body bags are kept at a minumum...no matter the cost to the taxpayer, or what reasons are given for an oil agenda

omfg ! i knew they were lying day one, sorry if you were duped and are just now realizing it! i agree tho that the real pity is that they are all still trying to assert their rightousness and that "WMD will be found!" blah blah.

klenk-ster is smitten

she was the one on tv telling you your earth tone towels were gauche, dude. i got news fer ya, earth tone towels are still in!!!

girlclimber and Aaron, hey this was a great trip report! girlclimber, I'd say you exercized not only good judgement, but your team had excellent mountain skills all the way around - slow pace...hey, its early season, so Aaron found out the hard way he needs to train a little you might consider looking around cascadeclimbers.com more often for partners if you want to climb with others besides your family...it may be hit-and-miss sometimes, but I've always had great experiences with the partners I've met through this board. hopefully your dad and others appreciate climbing (with you as) a strong and experienced climber

the best ones by far are 1) one of your not-so-computer-savvy friends or family sending a form letter about Microsoft sending you 50$ if you just click this link for some reason or other because...hey...its Microsoft, and they have lots of money to give away!! 2) getting the same 7-year-old virus warning in e-mail for the umpteen millionth time, complete with ASCII Courier font, with everyone cc'ed because, hey, since they got the news from their friend, the virus must be real!!!

dude, ebay links are lame...! oh wait, wrong forum

what a classic ambush. i'm all for getting bush and his cabinet out of power, but anyone can be ambushed like that and i think the tactic is sub-par for professional journalists stuff like that is like watching Janet's tit - fascinating, but tasteless.

In fact, I will be there! Hey, aLex with the big L on the forehead, in fact you weren't there. Yes its true! I am ashamed that I've let my bretheren drunk climbers down by failing to appear yet again at a Pub Club, one so close to my house, and this during one of those rare weeks that the wife was out of town. It really came down to a simple decision, though....stew with catbirdshit, or play Unreal Tournament.
