texplorer Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 7.) there are 4 hot chicks working there, the young one is jailbait my friend. she was bouldering in her bra last night (not a sportsbra) and had the look of recent fake n' bake action. Yes, that's the one. She always climbs in a sportsbra but she looks 16 or so. Quote
sk Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Some things have been said about what I have said in the past. Well here are my views. 1) I agree with RuMr on the ways to climb 2) Muffy, you need to force yourself to start leading harder sport climbs. No wimping out! Also you need to do a little aiding to give yourself confidence in your gear placements. 3) Finally if your not falling on gear you found at the base of El Cap, then your not keeping it real. And there is nothing wrong with not keeping it real. 4) If snafflehounds are good enough for fred B. then there good enough for me. 5) Think less, solo more 6) The portland rock gym is very expensive but there is a hot young chick working there. I have said it 10 million times and I will continue to say it TEX RULES Quote

chucK Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Help out an old guy clueless on the lingo here. What's "fake n' bake" mean? Quote
layton Posted February 21, 2004 Author Posted February 21, 2004 I think I heard it once before, but I could've made it up. It's a fake suntan Quote
bobbyperu Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 jailbait- is there a way to modify the thumbs up, to have the pointer, middle and pinky fingas stick out as well? Quote
layton Posted February 21, 2004 Author Posted February 21, 2004 now I can't even find the stupid thing Quote
scratchandsniff Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 The rule has always been, always: if you drop it you buy it. If Nick dropped it 300', he buys you a new one and he can lead on the old one. It's not your problem, it's his. Hope this helps. Quote
sk Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 I think I heard it once before, but I could've made it up. It's a fake suntan correct it can also refer to tan in a bottle but not as much Quote
scratchandsniff Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 Were not gonna get back on the dropped cam thing again are we? At least no one mentioned not to drop your cam in the prison shower. I don't know who would pay for it then but I'm sure it wouldn't be pretty. Quote
layton Posted February 23, 2004 Author Posted February 23, 2004 Nick didn't drop it, but it was his fault for not asking me for the quickdraws. jus kiddin nick, the cam's back on my rack and I can't tell it apart from the other .75 Quote
skyclimb Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 Did you put it to use this weekend?? Give me the low down man. How was the trip?? Quote
layton Posted February 23, 2004 Author Posted February 23, 2004 Didn't need it. Distel will post a TR w/pics. Climbed w/Girlclimber also. TR to come Quote
chris Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 Has anyone even heard of a cam physically failing? I.e., one of the lobes actually deforming or breaking? I sure haven't. All that has ever happened to me is the cam blowing out when the rock around it failed, and the triggered getting mangled so bad it had to be replaced. A long time ago, I picked up a #4 at the bottom of Tahquitz that had fallen and tumbled 300+ feet. I worked in a hospital at teh time, and one of the x-ray tech's had a fun time maxing the machine out so that we could look for stress fractures in the metal. Didn't find any though... Quote
dylan_taylor Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Hah! I agree completely. I have a hard time believing that a cam has ever failed during a normal climbing scenarion. Rigid friends over horizontal edges don't count. Dudes with crowbars snapping stems of hoplessly stuck cams doesn't count either. Quote
Dru Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 there was an ANAM a few yrs ago with an accident in Arizona where one, maybe two of the cams in a three point anchor had failed - the lobes were mushroomed severely and deformed. i fell on a cam once that failed cause two of the swages popped and then it rotated out around the camming pair of lobes. turned a routine 20 footer into an oh shit 40 footer. Quote
dylan_taylor Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Which swages failed? What kind of cam was it? Quote
