larrythellama Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 actually i am sitting on the couch with me feet up, drinking coffee, watching it snow and tending the fire. the only thing i am bitter about is the fact that i have no bacon to go with my eggs.

Dru Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 maybe they could specially make a pink-tricam with the shoulder length sewn sling so you wouldn't have to specially girth hitch a sewn sling to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek_the_Greek Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Psh. For the record, I didn't bring up the helmet discussion, but it did come up. I am happier when my friends wear helmets while climbing. But most of you are not my friends, so wear whatever you want when you decide to go ripping out all your gear and decking.

Right, who needs friends when you have everything you need right there in your bong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 so wear whatever you want when you decide to go ripping out all your gear and decking. I prefer to wear a clown suit and bunny slippers, sometimes a plastic viking hat with horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWolfe Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 For me, placing cams that are too small is worth the risk, cuz I save so much weight on the climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken4ord Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 be sure to extend the grigri with webbing too. And how is that suppose to help except for making more difficult to pay out slack when your partner is leading????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken4ord Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Damn, how the hell do you fall flat-assed sideways onto a rock (even sandstone!) and only walk away with bruised ribs? I figure the kid has only 8 lives left...MAX! WTF is that? Rubber ribs? If we could figure that out and sell that, it might make helmets obsolete and us rich. Thanks A5 and John for the show. My mouth is open! Great pics! It looks like he didn't hit the ground with full fource in the pictures where he is hitting, you can see the piece is weighted. That was the only thing I could think of, it still is pretty surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevino Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Well looks like if you searched for "if you wear a helmet you're a paranoid safety freak" you would have found it. either that or improper use of a gri-gri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
