There's a lot of wisdom in that! so if one is a stout traditionalist.....and they were to follow frankie's excellent device....would that mean tolerance of bolts is a good thing??? or maybe actually, realizing that things will change and that all type of climbing are valid??? just a thought!

one thing i want to say, is that TERMINAL GRAVITY STOUT is the best stout i have ever had the pleausre of pouring down my gullet..... do we each get one for christmas?? pleeeeeeezzz!!!!!

In the University District, Schultzy's owners Don and Susan Schulze have taken the plunge, spent $425,000 on a building and spent $125,000 more converting half of it into a 60-seat restaurant. With the larger space, the couple have added beer and wine on tap, upscale hamburgers, and some low-fat vegetarian fare to their signature sausage dishes. " bling bling

I HAVE LINKED UP BOTH THOSE ROUTES TWICE.....GOOD TODO...IT MAKES IT FEEL LIKE YOU ARE CLIMBING SOMETHING..... I HAVE DONE IT TWICE BOTH WAYS....I DO NOT THINK ONE WAY IS BETTER THEN THE OTHER..... IT TOOK LIKE 6 HOURS RT FROM THE CAR...BOTH TIMES...... ADDTIONAL BETA UPON REQUEST

i 97% of the time back up my rap and when i do not i ask myself why?? i prefer to put the prussik under the belay device in most cases...everyone's it will get stuck in the device issue can be mitigated by keeping your brake hand on the prussik...you actually have to as the rope does not feed well without the prussik being held...so you are managaing it....once weihgted the the prussik underneath the device is easily freed, mush easier then if the prussik was above.... on passing knots...you know when you are going to do it....so in that case i will use the prussik above the belay device.... no one way is correct and if done correctly no one way is wrong...i think it is very important to be able to do both flawlessy..... so who ever thinks one way is better then the other should do both in different situations.... the best way to overcome problems in the mountains is being flexiable and having a broad information base....

check out the leki ti poles.... i have them and they are nice and light...not sure how light though....i only measure in grams for one thing...
