you might try using thin utility chord covered with fish tank air hose tubing. i have also seen it done with bailing wire, but it looked ugly.

you're a flesh magnet dude!

might help calm things down in spray or for time to call the whaaaambulance. self explanatory has sarcastic possiblities for you patriotic political posters for pub club

haha, in the center of that cutthroat picture is the move i verbally described a few pages back.

is that about a half mile east of the hairpin, on the south side of hwy 20?

is this another lead-in to a pastrami sandwich joke or is it not funny all by itself?

freezing levels are lower further north (knock on wood)

whitehorse? that's not whitehorse. i'll guess sahale to proper's.

ok. you're climbing along. there's a blocky mini butress to your right, and a nasty gully to your left. you need to move left to just the top bit of the gully. you have your right hand in a two finger pocket. if you REACH you can just get your left hand into another two finger pocket. it's not steep, but you have no feet. hint: you probably just stuck in a pink TCU.

GW's credibility on the Iraq threat would be greater if he also did something about those giant squid.

A Dr. Suessian Response To The State Of The Union 1-28-3 I am Saddam. Saddam I am. I am the ruler of Iraq, The country that you would attack. You are Bush. Bush you are. The fame of you has spread afar. You do not like me, Bush, I know. You would not like me in a show. You would not like me in the snow. You simply wish that I would go. You say I used to slaughter Kurds. You say that I use naughty words. You say I have an evil stash Of weapons of destruction (mass), Of bombs and missiles, germs and gas. You say I tried to kill your Pop. Oh, how I wish that you would stop! I promise you I have no stash Of weapons of destruction (mass). I do not have them near or far. I did not hide them in my car. I did not hide them in a bar. I did not hide them in a hole. I did not hide them up a pole. I did not hide them in a grave. I did not hide them in a cave. I did not hide them in a dish. I did not hide them in a knish. I did not hide them in my coat. I did not hide them in a goat. I did not hide them in a trunk. I did not hide them in my bunk. I did not hide them anywhere. In short, they simply are not there. The inspectors came and looked, And looked, and looked, and looked, and looked. They looked high and they looked low, Every place that they could go. They looked in every hole and crack, Each drawer and closet, bag and sack. They found nothing in a trunk-or Even in my private bunker. They did not find a single stash Of weapons of destruction (mass) ... And STILL you won't get off my a**! I've done all that I can do. The rest, dear Bush, is up to you. Please don't be angry, don't be sore. We don't need to have a war. Let's go back to the good old days When your dad and Reagan sang my praise. I was your faithful ally then. Why can't we be friends again? I say, let's let this whole thing drop. (My best regards to your dear Pop.)

i miss the old way of viewing recent threads. remember when you could choose last 40 threads, or last 25 spray-free? and the old way would show you the recent threads versus the new way shows you recent posts, such that if there's one thread that gets a lot of replies it pushes the others out of view. you can still view recent threads but only in a forum by forum sort of way. i think it would be good if you had a quick way to scan recent threads without just seeing how everyone is replying to the current hot spray topic. it also gets confusing when people change a topic title and you get sucked into some political thread you've already decided to ignore. aside from giving me personally an easier way to scan for interesting stuff after i've been away getting work done, it might keep discussion more spread out to a variety of topics, and interesting topics that don't get a lot of replies wouldn't be overlooked. just a suggestion of course, no need to call the fire dept.

dfa: something bolted at smith

Yup it looks like he is off route, it looks like he's too far left on the second pitch. On the way down, from that climb, I had to speed rappel and scream at a couple of that were investigating our packs. that tries to steal my !!! actually he's a little to the left on the third pitch, but maybe you could run them together. what's with people rapping the nw face? i thought every rapped the north face where you jump off a ledge on two manky little homemade hangers.

you know, as heinrich harrer once wrote, climbing just isn't much of a spectator sport. it seems like a lot of the climbing media we review here boils down to the same thing. they used to have a couple climbing shows on OLN, but i've seen it go in a reality show direction now. yech.

i'm at about 60, and have always felt inadequate. people always say to me "you must have a really low pulse, huh huh?" and i'm like "no". but i always seem to be wearing less clothes than other people so maybe i can feel better now.

it's the NW face of kangaroo, but i guess i have to give it to you to avoid splitting hairs/confusion etc.

a pm'er got so i no it's not impossible. hwy 20

most washington state gumbies will do this climb at some point in their careers, but my partner is goofing around and i think a little bit off-route.

ok while everyone's being stumped by dru here's an easier one:

...this is going to be a long adolescence...
