Ha! your mom is sooo proud of you.......i just left her house and i told her that you can spell fawk without really spelling it..... c u tonite fucker!!!

I never here about the scientific studys where they say every thing looks great here... doin' a good job, way to go mother earth... why is it, there always has to be a change in the enviornment... And who say it needs to be changed... do we get to vote on a closer or what... or do enivormentalists who have a polotition in their pocket just get to decide because they think it should be so... I mean just because I think something is in a bad state, does not mean you do, or vice versa.... And if we do get to vote on closers, why isn't it more publicly campaned.... do the rest of you think that we should just sit back and let some tree hugers close down all our favorite spots, even though the majority of us do our best to keep it clean and nice for others (respectful climber and woodsmen)... Ok I'm a little excentric, but I'm serious too... JAKE, the problem you state is called christianity or probably orgainized religion for that matter.....it tells us that there is always something wrong and that we need to tell others what we see wrong with them too.....it is a brilliant way to control billions of people...even make them kill each other, over principals that if were looked at with any type of skepticism would be so laughable, that you would wonder how people could even get so deep into the bullshit.... but i really dunno

YES YOU MAY BRONG YOUR DOG the real dog problem lies with the owners, not the actual animal..... evident a couple weeks ago.. bringing your pup down the slot into the main area might be tough if they little guy is very big.....if not then it is not too bad... also once you come on top of the plateau instead of following the main trail, go sw and you will find a gully you and the pooch can walk down.. make sure you pick up its shit...the sport climbers is bad enough....

the only time i have heard of a ranger even sweating anyone, my friend crazy jamie was on top of my other friends p.u. on a lawn chair drinking and yelling....an off duty l.e.t. pulled them over and gave them a real hard time, though let them off with a verbal warning.....now that is a pretty nice cop... now i could only imagine if that happend in the valley, there would be gun fire and several climbers dead and a couple innocent tourons injured....with the tool having fixed the problem.....sheesh.....

quote: Originally posted by specialed: I'm not rich but pimping out Erik as a male prostitute does have its financial rewards. But I'd rather carry and fall on pre-sewn light weight and stronger (perlon?) slings than some hippy-ass tubular webbing from the 70's. we all have weaknesses.......

okay i am going to lower myself to post in this thread.... but maybe greg, while you and dan were in the army. you all had an encounter with each other...maybe him the angry drill sargent and you the timid new fish....you were violated, he covered it up.....i dunno really just specualting....think full metal jacket..... then again dan has never tried to rename a classic ski route after himself.....so i give him the benefit of the doubt enjoy

quote: Originally posted by beefcider: I'm short on the QDs but have plenty of biners. I;m wondering if there is an expedient way to make QDs from pre-sewn slings or should I juts save the bucks and wait until I can afford a set of draws. I've heard that using webbing and the water knot doesn't produce very reliable results and should only be used in a pinch. thats wrong, i use tied shoulder lengths as clipems all the time......though make sure to inspect your knot occasionally, maybe ill die from this practice though it hasnt happend yet... someone correct me if i am wrong....

hand wsh it in your bathtub.. though i have never washed one of my ropes.....they get trashed before i think it might be a concern........or drag it through the snow... putting it in some type of actualy washer with an agitator might harm it, though it might not....save your time and money for beer....

quote: Originally posted by scot'teryx: Gore Tex in boots is good from what I have seen and heard from friends, like La Sprtivas GTX series. My eigers can get soaked even after nixwaxed, but maybe it's just me and I need to hit the bong harder. one thing you might consider is that most of the water that gets into boots comes from the stiching...i seam seal all the stiching on my boots, granted it dont look kewl, but it works very well....also you have to reaply the seam seal when it wears out....... also goretex doesnt work cus there is no circulation of air inside the boot to force the moiture through the materials... thats cool you are an admitted gaper, cuz i dont think i am even that good...... erik the 4th class sketchfest.....

i was just wondering you know.... nothing personal....

It sounds like you can climb 5.7 and above after all the chest pounding I have read he can barley climb 5.7+, he is a total wanker...why do oyu think he asks the same questions twice....sheesh... another QUESTion if it is the imtermediate class, why are they mostly on climb below 5.6???? just wondering....

so does ginsing..... i have new converts to my weedacology studies....more proof that hard climbing and hard drinking can coexist in a state of disconnected bliss......

quote: Originally posted by Retrosaurus: A 4500 ci haul bag could never hold enough malted beverages for summer climbing. And what about the ice? For Christ's sakes get a grip. What are you guys thinking about? wooooorrrrrddddd!!!!!

quote: Originally posted by Bug: For summer climbing I use a 4500 sack for 2. It is tight packing and sacrifices must be made but the nice light weight makes a big difference all around - approach, hauling, yes, sometimes jumaring, decending. It translates to speed vs comfort. I find enough comfort with a light bag, a coat and some food & water. I also have 1/8" insulite pads that I can fold to cover sharp objects. The bigger the bag, the more you can take. wooooorrrrddddd!!!!

neri, are you rich??? you spend more time trying to buy gear, and then buying gear, that i have a hard time believing you ever even get to use it?? i mean i know there is always the perfect one, but.........how much gear does one man need?? but who knows, cuz i am weak and fat like borbon.....

doug, i think that i laid out klenke's ideas with my post in the other thread about science and christianity...and believe it or not i am serious about that...... and is it not only counter productive to say after the fact, "hey guys you are wrong, we are right...." what is done is done and dwelling on hindsite only makes your ass look bigger.......cus thats whats behind you...time to look for better ways to save the world..and cliff side ecology is such a small part of the converable world that i would say it is another lost art...just like chivilry and non competitive sports.... seriously though your battle trying to save the cliff side ecology will only make you enemies..... to try and alter north american culture and resource abuse/damage/use is not just an uphill battle it is impossible... i dunno more thoughts
