Take a fall while soloing with a tibloc and post what happens to your rope here.

Damn--thats a great deal on a greater speaker system. I have the identical in my office and its perfect.

Thanks for the clarification. I have a copy of that book and was trying to quote it from memory. So much for that.

I agree with what John says. Leave the upper portion of the boot unlaced until you get to more technical terrain. In addition, slapping a piece of duct tape on your shin where the boot rubs can help alleviate any friction when you do lace it up.

And a tram used to run to the top with old city buses as gondolas.

Used gear runs the gamut on pricing. Don't go ghetto on your boots and if you are serious, lay out the coin to get a decent pair of boots fitted to your feet by someone who knows what they are doing. Skis and bindings are less important and you can get a thrasher pair for your learning curve. If you've never skied before, get an AT setup and spend some time on the lifts with someone who can give you pointers. Don't bother with tele unless you are a masochist.

Check out this site: http://www.canyoneeringusa.com/ Tom knows those canyons probably better than anyone and can give you all the beta you need and so much more. We used wetsuits--never needed a dry suit.

Awesome!

c'mon pink, are you telling me you climbed at beacon and never heard about this?

How is calling someone a cocksucker not a personal thing? Personally, I think the rangers do a pretty good job of balancing the different interests. It does when you consider that it was a climber who tore off the nest and threw it down the rock. Granted, this occurred after they started the closure and it was several years ago, but it did nothing to strengthen our case.

You asked what Billcoe's point was and I offered a potential explanation. Don't like it, don't ask the question.

As it has us all

Gavin was an enthusiastic booster of the area. He took some folks from BDEL there and he told me to tell my friends about it.

Ya think Brady had his confidence shaken a bit by being sacked so many times? Deer in the headlights.

Learn how to uncoil a new rope before REI gets tired of people abusing their return policy and stops selling ropes.

Ironic Post of the Day Award? Weirdos? What weirdos? Obviously you are not of suphicient brain powers to acknowledge the reality of modern times. Perhaps you should just listen to your elders. You're an idiot. Explain to us, oh wise elder, just what sort of danger this guy puts his infant in by posting a picture on the web that, presumably does not even look like his kid two weeks later. At that age their appearances morph pretty dramatically, pretty quickly. Additionally, there's no other personal identification or identifiers in his post.

Couloir you get mad props for consistently having the best avatar.

You first

Kevbone, you putting something in perspective for someone is like a legless man telling an olympic gold medalist how to run.

neither your link nor your picture works.

So your idea of righting this wrong was to crudely insult the man's fiancee?

I've read all his stuff--great writer.

Who said I like fat bitches? There is a difference between fat and healthy…….You’re the one posting pictures of anorectic women. So since you are so quick to critique, lets see some pictures of your wife and her "healthy" physique. 111's fiancee is far from "anorectic" and I think his enthusiasm for his new bride is cool. Why piss on him?

not until someone can retrieve that excalibur-esque green alien from blownout direct! Did you place it?

I struggled for years trying to teach myself tele in the backcountry. Two days of resort skiing did more for my skiing than 2 years in the backcountry. Spend the time at the resort, maybe take a clinic if you dont have a friend to help teach.
