Thought you said you didn't climb?

Actually, I think she would. That is, if she climbed.

I like the sound of that...

I thought you didn't climb...

stop making sense

pink does... he climbed El Cap, ya know.

That's better, Andrew. Now take your gifs and run along home.

I did not get the sense that the record was broken "again." Hirayama and Florine missed it by 0:1:45. Ergo, the Huber Bros. record of last year still stands. Score = 0 for reading comprehension.

Definitely! I "hate it" when Lowell posts, because I end up spending hours reading everything and chasing all the links to "new history" (well, new to me at least) lessons. It's a great time-sink. Now, back to work...

You saved a buttload on yer car insurance, or what? O_W: Pink's climbed El Cap. He doesn't have to get out of the car for anything Colorado might have to offer.

Don't be a tease, Andrew. This is not the "Name That Route" thread.

Jiminy Krismus! And a puffy to boot??? brrrrrrr!!!1

You're on! I've got a few left over from our road trip to Lightning Dome. Thanks for the lovely weather, FF, but it was just a skosch too hot. Next time, can you cool it off a little during the middle of the day? OKTHNXBAI!

I agree with what Kurt and paramagic have said. It can be done, but it basically sucks. There is not enough ankle support in Koflachs for carving serious turns. They would work just fine for more moderate slopes that you might encounter while doing an approach. For anything much over 25 degrees or so, get the proper gear or you'll just suffer through the "experience." I have Verticals and Fritschis, and have done the ski descents from several volcano slog summits. But it was not by any means truly fun, nor at times was it very graceful (refer to my comment about yardsaling down from Hood's icy Pearly Gates in this thread). I'm a cheap-ass muthufugger and so I won't go dropping a wad on true randonne gear since I don't enjoy it as much as ice climbing and such. I basically bought my Fischers and Fritschis so I could approach ice climbs, not for stylin' down cinder cone summits. I've got other gear specifically for tele, which is another story...

Yes, I recall this comment, too. Please, do tell, mike. In other news, I think this is the best TR pic evuh!

Isn't the other name of that law the "Dicksucking" law? It's not the "Basset Hound lap" law. I see absolutely nothing wrong with getting road head. It is patently not illegal.

A shout out from the other side of the coin. See guys, it ain't all about what you want, neither!

Maine-iac: Remember... "Discretion is the better part of valor." I had neither when I yardsaled my way down the bowl below the Pearly Gates... Good on you for recognizing an epic in the making and taking the requisite steps to avoid same.

This goes completely without saying. :tup:

Doing something similar here with sidewalk emphasis patrols. Plainclothes coppers (sporting the West Coast Choppers look) cross a sidewalk with the pedestrian light in their favor, then when someone cuts in front of him or crosses the line behind him while he's still less than halfway across gets pinched when West Coast Chopper guy radios ahead to his compadres in the waiting cruisers. I actually like this idea. Being a frequent ped, I get disrespected a lot by the motoring public around this town.

Nice idea Sobo but the '06 takes up to a 220gr and it aint a HP. You'd need a 180gr HP and something a little better than a Bushnell POS Last time some guys started hanging out at Exit 38 with a couple of M4s, 10x binos, digital cameras and a cell phone this shit stopped for awhile. Funny how quickly the word gets out. Dane- Good points all. You know I won't go toe-to-toe with you concerning leaded projectile weaponry. That's your bidness. How are you doing now, anyway? I need to call you, man. Mikester- The car alarm looks like a great idea. I need to get a new beater car for that one. denalidave- The seatbelt violation is not a secondary offense. Regarding the hugging law: Why can't that be applied to more than just people? These fux that drive around with their goddamned dog or cat in their lap fucking piss me off. Last week in my rear view mirror, I watched a basset hound jump out of a woman's Mercedes at a stop light and run into the opposing traffic and promptly get flattened by an 18-wheeler that couldn't stop fast enough. WTF is wrong with these people that do this with their pets?

Right where I've always been, man. In the Oklahoma Dustbowl of Washington. The realz kweshchun iz, WTF have you been? I ain't seen you in a coon's age.

"Who is John Galt?" ...Ayn Rand

that's a good one! Ya know, you're an idiot if you don't wear one, but I would posit that it's your choice. Of course, if you end up a vegetable after not wearing one, I do not think it's the state's job (nor mine, through my taxes) to pay for your upkeep. Same with motorcycle helmets. Reap what ye sow.
