So you'll pull out a big enough chunk of conglomerate to surely kill your ass?

Will- They have confiscated ropes in the past, and any system that doesn't obey the Letter of the Law is vulnerable to policy changes, particularly if some concerned citizen or group decides to make a stink.

You've never been on moderate terrain with large exposure? (above a cliff)

The NPS has already taken the position that fixed ropes are trash in Yosemite

Not only are you linking to an eBay auction Half your links are the same!

John- You needn't look so far afield to find wilderness area's that once bore the imprint of man. Glacier Basin, in Mt Rainier National Park, once held a copper mine (the trail follows the old mine road). In Olympic National Park, the Enchanted Valley Chalet, built as a resort now finds itself inside a Wilderness Area. Reclamation of area's for wilderness is not new, and hasn't been objected to in National Parks, so why is National Forest Land different?

The Adirondacks, Lake Willougby & New Hampshire have better & more consistent ice than 6 & 7 and are driving distance for Mr Goat.

I prefer a wild west duel if you don't mind. I've always thought that gunplay was a great way to solve verbal arguments. It's all about honor! Well, and pretending to be an internet bully - nothing says Balls like threats of physical violence!

Regardless of your feelings on the abortion issue, the legal principal behind Roe v. Wade, that you own & control your reproductive rights, I stand by.

Congress is suspending jurisdiction of all Federal Courts dipshit. Here's Article 3 Article III Section 1. The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office. Section 2. The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;--to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;--to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects. In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make. The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the state where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any state, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed. Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.

Greg- My problem is not with returning power to the states. My problem is with creating extrajudicial laws - that, in my mind, is a very dangerous precedent. This law excludes ALL federal courts - including the Supreme Court.

"Vote Freedom First"

This is Screwy - strip ALL federal courts? Create a law that can't be decided by the judiciary? http://washingtontimes.com/national/20040722-115443-3438r.htm In a showdown on the role of Congress and the courts in defining marriage, the House voted yesterday to strip federal judges of the ability to rule on such cases, leaving the matter up to the states.

That be Bell's Beach Fairweather

Last I checked that was more acceptable than being a climber...

DIA as an airport is benign. The fuckers who decided to place that airport 20 miles to the opposite side of everything in Denver need to be shot I hate that drive

I don't expect any type of security from dirt cheap hardware.

I've been pleased with my Netgear router & card.

Shapp's probably to young to remember all the bad ass routes put up with stoppers and hexes cj100f's probably too young to remember all the bad ass routes put up with a rack of pins and a hammer OffWhite's too young to remember the routes put up in the pre protection era

I agree that the administration's movements have been odd. Which is why I mentioned the possibility of an election delay if: 1)The date the election is to be moved to is predetermined 2)How many voters must be affected to change the date, and how to quatify those affected is included in the date change.

Your enough of loon to not realize the WSJ is by far the most right of any major newspaper.....
