I have, for sale, 74, 76-77, 79-81, 83-86, 88-90, 99 & 01.

That was iain. My comment about a 10m fall being the same was purely in regard to the force acting on the rope. It's the same. Hence my comment about FF affecting the energy absorbtion of the rope, and thereby the forces on the anchor. The angle of the climb matters as well

Uh, glopstoppers purpose is to stop snow from building up on your skins, to decrease the grip if you will, - it's a glide wax, not a kick wax.

This may be stating the obvious but a Summer Ski Camp is going to be very "form" technique intensive out of necessity. You'll have 2 ski conditions - hardpack and slush (the window for corn is about 20 minutes) The terrain you get is the Palmer, and just a lane on it (about 50yds wide, full length of upper Palmer) - there's a public park, but Windell's and HCSC have the big parks to themselves - magic mile will almost definitely be a canyon for the july camp, possibly the june camp - and lower palmer won't be much better. That said the Summer Ski scene is very cool - skiiers from all over the world & country (national teams are there May June), Government Camp is alive, the Gorge is awesome, and where else can you ever see sober teenagers excited to be up at 6:15 in the morning on a summer weekend?

Uh, Dru - as long as gravity is the same, a 10m fall has exactly the same forces produced. Fall factor describes how much rope is available to absorb the energy.

What are you skiing with that you can't edge your skis Lo-cut hiking boots?

The question of course begs, how reliably do AT boots release in AT binders? (I know they do, mine have - but is it regular?)

PP - Part of the Spanish response probably lies in actions like this from the ruling party (from the Economist): This came as one of Spain’s leading newspapers, El País, revealed a memo that it said the foreign minister, Ana Palacio, had sent to Spain’s diplomats. In it, she instructed them to “use any opportunity” to blame ETA for the attacks, “thus helping to dissipate any type of doubt that certain interested parties may want to promote.” Add that to 90% of the country not being for the war in Iraq in the first place....

Synonym w/grem (as in gremlin). Often hell-grem, hell-grom

Or are under 30 and male.

I say again...reasonable. So what do you consider reasonable for a used pair of not that great AT skis, drilled twice, which will probably have to be drilled again? I'm interested in the bindings, if you'd sell them seperate.

$101 cash

Don't do it. You'll die. On a serious note. You can use AT boots with Downhill binders, especially those that have an adjustable height toe. AT boots won't release as well because of increased resistance with the vibram sole. That said I know of a number of ski patrollers who use AT boots in downhill binders, and hell they release better than any tele ski! The boot B-Rock mentioned is probably the Garmont Adrenalin, which isn't out yet. Aren't you the gear editor?

Off base there grommet (grom for short)

Sort of like thinking an alpine start will ensure you'll have the route to yourself in RMNP?

No they don't last too long in the cold. That said I've never ran out on trips shorter than 3 days - 1 canister has always been enough (which leads to a plethora of half used canisters - Solution - Markhill Gas Lantern $30 bucks)

You forgot the porn mags - I've been able to catch up on all those copies of Barely Legal I've missed.

Am I missing something? 110 days in 2001 365 in 2002 365 in 2003 71 in 2004 Last I check thats 911

The people asking for >$50 are speculators - notice no one's willing to pay that. As for downloading - you have to be a subscriber, so you only pay $11.50 an issue.

Ignoring the obvious link to the Spanish parliamentary elections.......

Get out more. There's a reason Bi-Mart has an "outdoor" section. There are plenty of lower-income users of wildlands, particularly in the Inter-mountain west (WY, MT, ID, etc.) Why do you think Larry Craig (R-ID) was opposed? In a state that's 62% owned by the government and 43rd in disposable income?

"articles", you know "reading" - and since I get at least 4x the enjoyment of climbing or R & I it's a bargain. But then I don't wear Carhartt's, so I'm probably a poseur

Some of us by magazines for more than the pictures.....

Hmm. Bachelor, the Sisters, Jefferson, are all a might bit closer to Bend than Hood. And are all volcanic. You seen those things they call maps?

They destroy the primtive untouched beauty and scenic grandeur of Rocky Butte.
