    Self Rescue

    WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK OF SAR ONLY BEING MORE TEXT BOOK IN TECHNICAL TERMS OPPOSED TO ACTUALLY HAVE PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE? AND I MEAN MORE THEN JUST SOME DUMB/BORING CREVASE SITMO. YOU KNOW HIGH ANGLEDED RESCUSE. EXTRACTION FROM MID WAY ON CLIMB. THINGS SUCH AS THESE. ANYTIME I HAVE BEEN AROUND A SAR EVENT, I WAS GLAD I WAS NOT THE ONE IN NEED. AND I KNOW OF A SITMO WHERE SAR WAS DROPPED OFF BY THE ARMY AND THEY PICKED UP THE OTHER MEMBER OF THE PARTY AS THEY DEEMED HIM MORE VALUABLE. DOES SAR PLAY MORE OF A BODY RECOVERY ROLE THEN ACTUAL RESCUE?

    I think guide, and while rock instructor would I think be interesting too, I'm light years away from being able to legitimately function as a rock instructor. how do you expect to legitimatley function as a guide if you do nt have all the skillz. certainly a guide might only need to be able to climb 5.8. but what happens when shit gets fucked on 5.8 and you are at your max? then everyone dies!! knowledge is power and the more you have the better off everyone is!

    i think most starting out guides get paid like $75 a day and if you are in the some sort of alpine enviroment, then that is a 24hr clock. plus there is prep time and what not.

    you will be selling your passion for a few dollars. in essence turing something you love into work and no longer something pleasurable. if you need, i know this hungarian mtn guide, he like circumnavigates in a big way and shit....

    you need to obtain permission to operate a commerical venue on public land, as you would be profiteering. i believe requirements are insurance/bond and an amazing abilty to kiss ass. i personally think all guide services and guides should be required to spend atleast 40-80 hrs a year improving the land/facilites that belong to all of us in which they use to make money.
  11. no offense michelle as we're friends. but i personally dont tread into big water during a storm, whilst unsure of my current abilites, in an effort to mitigate any possible sitmo's.

  13. i am not implying i am badass or anything. just thought the comment about the route was out of place. there is like 1 .9 move with like 3 bolts within reach. either way.......
  14. REALLY? I THOUGHT THE ROUTE. BORING AND MORE BORING. EVEN THE CONDOR ROUTE IS MUCH BETTER. THE ROUTE SEEMED QUITE STRAIGHFROWARD WITH LITTLE ROUTE FINDING ISSUE. THE PITCHES ARE SHORT AND FEW OF THEM CAN BE LINKED. ALL BELAYS ARE BIG LEDGES.
  15. BOGUS ON THE PINS. BONE...HAVE YOU FINNISHED THAT ROUTE AS OF YET??
  16. not that good imho. way tough to place! pretty much need two hands. such a specialty piece.

    Puritans?

    the puritaic morals are still here. they like of them crossed the ocean as they were no longer allowed to pursecute others and spread their warped behavior unto to masses. people still persecute others and force upon us their b.s.
