Gary_Yngve Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 You may be right, Matt. In that case, the Mounties need to figure out how to streamline their program so that it is financially solvent with a smaller membersip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Maybe the Mounties should revise FOTH to include a chapter on how to jib, promote wearing baggy pants, and put out a rap album that talks about proper belay technique (taking your brake hand off the rope is whack, yo!) in order to become hip with the kids today.

olyclimber Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 that would be so wack! they could reach out to ethnic groups too! for instance, publishing FOTH in ebonics. I n rock climbing, whether ya use da SRENE/ERNEST system, or another method ya may gots learned, da fact iz ya should always use multiple anchors. It do not matter if ya iz trad climbing, top roping or sports climbing. Two anchors iz da minimum fo' rock climbing. Three anchors won't hurt ya either. Creating rock climbing anchors iz, in fact, creating uh dynamic engineering systems ta handle uh suspected or expected maximum impact force. As wiff all dynamic systems, da need ta build uh system dat multiplies da load handling capability iz required. You would not build uh step ladder dat would only hold yo' weight, ya would build one dat can hold uh great deal mo' than yo' weight. The same iz true o' climbing anchors. Given uh choice ya should build yours wiff uh 2:1 or bettah safety factor. If ya can generate almost 3,000 pounds o' energy ya bettah gots uh system designed ta take uh least 6,000 pounds. in the hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpineK Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Shit man, I spent 10 hours wacking on a monster hedge and look what you office bitches have been doing. Gary, listen up schoolboy Attending a lecture doesn't mean you actually know jack shit. You could attend a lecture and pass a quiz and still not be able to know what the fuck you're up to in the real world. The only way to really learn is to do.

chirp Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Alot of the new and young climbers are joining "climbing teams" at their local gym. They can get the MTV fix they need from a gym and where that leads them who can say. But those that wish to move on will at least have their pebble wrestling skills down pat. Hopefully they can get inspired by another aspect of the sport...or mebbe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken4ord Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 no, cuz that would involve LEARNING HOW TO CLIMB and not doing your catechisms! Silly boy... Actually there is a part of the Climbing Course called the Mentor Program, "Can anyone help me, I'm looking for a Mentor!!" Here you go, there is 3 of them in the band, I am sure any of them will do just fine for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-spotter Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Gary, I don't know for sure if this is true or not but it strikes me that there is increasingly less interest in mountain climbing among younger folks these days, even more than the reduced climber numbers we are seeing at Mount Rainier or the North Cascades. I also think that younger folks are less and less inclined to join an organization. Is it any wonder, when the old folks in the organizations do everything possible to make the organizations boring and irrelevant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn straight - you can get boring, irrelevant with a smattering of climbing here for free!
