Winter

I broke my heelbone on a boulder problem in college. How did yours break? Your sounds a bit wrose than mine. I had a clean horizontal fracture from front to back through the heel bone. I didn't get a cast, and it took about 6-8 weeks to heal. I spent some time on crutches. Took another month or two before I felt confident on it.

if i were less motivated as a lawyer i'd have more time to be more motivated as a climber. or i could sit on my ass eating bon bons in front of oprah.

If you go, please post a TR. I stared in awe at that wall last summer on B-C. What an amazing place - I would love to take a shot at that line. I've talked to folks that have gotten dropped off in East Creek by CMH. Not supposed to be that expensive. Up to you as to whether your style permits it. I haven't done the approach from East Creek to the base of the w face or around the other side of the Howser's so I don't know how bad it is, but gettting into East Creek isn't bad at all. Just descend from P-H Col in daylight if you got all your wall gear, and it'll be much easier.

you can get essentially the same bike for $2-300 less by staying away from trek and looking at other companies.

Why pine for your soul mate on the other side of the country when the bottle of Jim Beam is right next to you?

Nice work!

Someone buy him a razor for his bday!

If you tie individual knots, it will be much easier to keep the two ends from getting completely twisted and wrapped up in each other. Keep 'em separate - faster and avoids tangles.

getting stupid drunk should take care of your public anxiety problem. and of course space cake will clearly help out with anxiety issues.

coastal bc moss works almost as well.

first its the short term memory - then its the long term memory. then you're pushing a walker through disinfected, padded hallways.

my advice - don't buy one right now. if you arent't sure yet what you want, take your time, ride several different bikes, talk to many different people and do your homework. the most important thing is how it feels when you ride it - you'll get on one and it will just feel right, you won't want to get off, and that's the one you should get. don't rush it - too big and too personal a purchase for an impulse buy.

liposuction will power the world. we are our own best fuel source.

Why would you need to mark the middle of the rope to clip bolts and climb in the gym sporto?

whew, better hope that thing doesn't derope - pretty ugly fall from 415 m up.

dig those pink cabinets!

This guy: Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. It's sort of... Marty DiBergi: What do you call this? Nigel Tufnel: Well, this piece is called "Lick My Love Pump".

I believe Ingalls and the Bugaboos.

Shameless self-promotion of the SO.
