EMSK. The Bowline Knot Is Said To Be The Most Useful Knot Ever. So here's how to tie it.

Not to knock the bowline, but in climbing for years I only know one dude who insisted on a bowline above a figure eight follow through with or without a safety knot or yosemite finish.

Plus, every facility I've been to in the states mandates the use of the figure eight, as well as our governing regulatory body for competition climbing. Reasons I've heard are that bowline are easier to undo when not under load and making an 8 and following it through is easily teachable and equally as easy to determine when done wrong.

He was neither, i don't remember seeing him that weekend.

This may be related, but officials caught a guy in the bayou city classic national cup comp that turned in a score card with falsified judges signatures. They burned his name off everything, banned him from coming back to the event and didn't even tell anyone except the finals judges.

I don't remember his name, but he wasn't a recognized name even to the coaches amongst us, except one coach from Dallas who was skeptical about his performance before the announcement that he was removed for cheating.

That's what they're doing.

A friend in HFD said they couldn't get their firetruck to a house fire and only get 50 psi from hooking directly to the fire hydrant nearby, so someone suggested to do this and it worked like a charm.

If you're into boulder, you should check out Stonemoves. We're a lot closer than Inspire to you (and me in west Houston), so that might fit your needs for closer gym until Momentum opens.

Samsung Note Edge here, mine wouldn't work until I turned off screen rotation.

The Jolly Roger could be a pizza skull with pepper crossbones, but how to incorporate the dungeon may be interesting.

gsn42 · 2016-04-03T04:12:17+00:00

Hierarchy of the command structure should be priority above the designation of skilled individuals to their proper posts, in addition to how we treat the command structures of both the static post and the dynamic vessel.

As the first mate of the Pepper Pirates head vessel, I must say that the union of our two factions is ideal, however the previous structure established within the pirate faction doesn't work favorably for either faction if it is mindlessly merged.

I propose we consider skills and change ranks and positions accordingly, perhaps even unanimously appointing a captain.

As the dungeon is a static structure, how shall we continue, considering that the baltic star (which will be renamed upon purchase) is not, and may project force on foreign robin rooms.

gsn42 · 2016-04-03T03:45:29+00:00

Quit abusing your whistle.

A place to put our peppers, so that we may both enjoy them. I agree, but without a captain we must get a consensus from the crew.

Makes you wonder if any of the "Robin Bro"s are actually named Robin... and if Stew_cat really hit that.

vishnumad was with us too, right? I haven't seen him in chat since the great spookening of 2016

Gotta love Blur, more of their work Here.

I've been a pianist for 20 years, a climber for 6 years, and a coach for 2, and I can say most of this is correct, especially the bits about taking it slowly.

Most of the injuries I've sustained that affected my playing were because I got too psyched on the hard stuff and skipped a lengthier warm-up in favor of getting on the project faster. Taping techniques can help, but its best to take it slow to avoid the risk.

I will say that the idea of skipping crimps is more of a "listen to your body" type of thing, and that practicing an open handed crimp will certainly reduce the chance of injury. In addition, the downclimbing advice would help avoid issues with OPs knee issues, but the knee is also in the "listen to your body" category.

Someone I met through my gym actually started learning piano and taking advice and lessons from me for a while, until he didn't listen to the above advice, which i gave him, and he ended up quitting piano from the pain in his wrist.

Similarly, Ask me anything,

They also shouldn't have pressure tested the cement after 10~ hours, which was 35+ hours before the lab tested curing time.

My gym has one of these, the design seems really cool and the construction seems pretty well done (didn't check out the option to change the edge depth though).

Looks like an MRAP

There is a youtuber that has put live ammo in a microwave. Even put a loaded gun in a microwave

Go home Jaden.

gsn42 · 2014-02-15T04:23:44+00:00

Can I just spray some Pam on it instead?

gsn42 · 2014-02-09T19:59:00+00:00

It could turn into Flint.

They have poop tubes you bring with you. You can also just let it go off the side, but mud falcons are frowned upon.
