can't make profit w/extra crap like paint, turn signals, brake pads, etc...
Dru, I've been waiting for someone to slap a Jesus on that thing for months! Thanks for coming through
I too saw the line on Yak. Made necro turn the car around actaully. Unfortunately the lower slabs were covered in unconsolidated pow pow so getting to the ice would be scary to say the least. Looked pretty mellow, but long.
And I'd like to be the first to thank the skiiers for, uhhmmm, well.....,
well, shit, just for getting outside and having fun. telemarkers can still blow me.
I taught an ice climbing class in Colorado. The days lecture was ice screws are scary, don't fall on them. To prove my point, I took one of those $15 russian screws that come with the red cap (you know the ones) and placed it near the top of the climb.
On top, I filled a big ol' haul bag full of ice blocks till it was full and I couldn't lift it. Then I shoved it off the lip of the climb so it would take a massive fall onto the screw.
WHAM! The screw held!
So I did it again.
WHAM! The screw held!
So I did it again.
CREAK! The screw bent.
So I did it again and again and again.
The fucker wouldn't come out! I rapped down and the thing was holding on by ONE THREAD.
This has to be it I thought so I climbed up and dropped the haul bag again.
Guess what? It held.
My class was a failure and all my students now trust ice screws totally.
