olyclimber Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 The resume looks ok, but it really needs some work. Let me know if you'd like me to help you edit it into something workable. Try to focus on the things that you've done that are actually meaningful. Quote
chirp Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 The ancient Egyptians saw the concentric circles of the onion as a symbol of the universe and treated it as an object of worship. Quote

Alpinfox Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Maybe you should weigh in on some gear review threads. Might I suggest the FLEECE thread? edit: fixed the link Quote
layton Posted February 7, 2005 Author Posted February 7, 2005 Poor Mikey, no respect! maybe some NOLS courses and all will bow trembling! Quote
EWolfe Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Dammit, Man! It's all about the windshirts! Quote

Cobra_Commander Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Come on layton, you can't just come out and say that, you have to slip it in along with some big-name climbers' names and talk about the gear they used on routes you'll never do. Maybe some additional spray about the strain being a day hike for grannies would help your cause too. It's only 5.9, and with the right windshirt, maybe 5.8+ Quote
Bogen Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Haven't you heard? All the great climbers are cutting off their windshirts!! Quote
Dru Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 i frostbit my windshirt just like Reinhard Messmer! Quote
Dr_Crash Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Shit. Cut off windshirts? Where can I buy a cut windshirt? Which one is the lightest? Shall I seam tape the cuts to prevent the fabric from running? Is using a cut off windshirt okay if you're climbing mixed with spurs or do you need more than holes in your garment to be climbing "bareback?" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! All that research to do again. drC Quote

Its the thinly veiled attempt at subtlety that makes NOLSE's chestbeating so unparralelled. Quote
olyclimber Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 After all this talk about windshirts, I'm starting to get interested in this technology. Has anyone done any studies as to how much time you can save by going with one windshirt over another? Which windshirt manufacturer is most honest with their listed wieght? Has anyone put their windshirt on a postage stamp scale and got the real goods on this? Are there "wind pants" to wear if you decided to wear shorts instead of pants to save weight? These are the questions I need asked before I'm going to add this technology to my alpine toolset. Micheal, if you can answer these questions, we can get on with installing the proper amount of due respect you've been pleaing for. Quote
barjor Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 (edited) Are there "wind pants" to wear if you decided to wear shorts instead of pants to save weight? Not sure about wind pants but I have a pair of wind panties that are really light. I saved lots of time on my forrest park hikes in them. You will not find them in outdoor stores though. A guy on one of my NOLSE classes told me that the best place to get them is at "Fantasy Clothing" Edited February 7, 2005 by barjor Quote
cj001f Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 The real question olyclimber is whether windshorts over polypro or wind pants are more efficient. Quote
Dru Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Please post your climbing resume so I can decide if you have enough experience to wear a ONE PIECE WIND SUIT Quote
Roger Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 The posts have been tallied, and as of this thread our young friend NOLSe has officially taken more shit on this board than scot'agonia. Impressive! Quote
