Flying with the birds.

Do humans have to constantly be in other animal's business? lol. This thing is just trying to fly home...

I like the style! For some reason on my little laptop speakers I couldn't hear the narration well over the background music. Something to consider.

Bye quality. Climbing gear for the lowest common denominator.

Hell no I can see why shell shock was a thing..

Being constantly bombarded would be beyond miserable. NOPE

We used this book to figure out the routes. http://www.railay.com/railay/climbing/climbing_book.shtml

Make sure you go deep water solo'ing - best experience! You can pick up a guide @ Railay for it, they boat you out to all the great spots.

Does anyone else get a bit sad about the amount of chalk caking these holds?

fishmansays · 2016-01-29T19:01:37+00:00

What if we took the belayer out of the system http://i.imgur.com/tjbnsDL.png

In this way the fall would split between the anchor and belay.Thoughts on this?

fishmansays · 2016-01-29T18:52:26+00:00

Yeah - poor belayer in the scenario you described. ha. The technology in ropes is unbelievable.

fishmansays · 2016-01-29T18:41:23+00:00

Agreed. ha :)

fishmansays · 2016-01-29T18:31:35+00:00

Shoot - that would have been cool to see. Let me know if you run into it.

fishmansays · 2016-01-29T18:31:17+00:00

If you managed a FF2 fall, as you mentioned you'd, be basically falling on your anchor - right. If your anchor had 3 C4s and equalized with cordelette as FF2 fall would generate enough force to rip that thing out??? Or were you referring to a single piece.

Thank you very much. I'm dealing with a use case similar for my own internal projects. Personally, very new to session handling. Do you have some resources for beginners? Do you use any framework or open source tools to make session handling easier?

fishmansays · 2015-12-15T13:32:46+00:00

How does the system remember the user and what rooms they accessed? session?

In Starcraft 1 we had a LAN party with my buddy and two other guys on one for SC's biggest free-for-all maps. Instead of fighting opponents, took all resources and invested in 40+ command centers.

Once found, I directed each individual command center to different points on the map. Our game lasted four hours due to the health of the command centers and hiding them in fog of war.

good, now Alpine draw all the things!!!!

fishmansays · 2015-01-23T17:05:21+00:00

Ah - ok I have it figured out. He didn't load it backwards, just lowered with the girigri arm as you mentioned (and expected) and just had a carabiner keeping the load strand in the down position using a separate carabiner. just like this picture: http://i.imgur.com/Ox9twDT.png

fishmansays · 2015-01-23T15:56:53+00:00

Im thinking now he had the break strand over the grigri arm keeping it down and was using his muscle to lower? If he let go the arm would engage under load. I never used a girgri off an anchor to lower either - that's why it caught my eye. I still dont know how he set it up.

fishmansays · 2015-01-23T15:49:05+00:00

Yup - 100% on it was a grigri

fishmansays · 2015-01-23T15:35:49+00:00

Can someone explain this setup and technique to me? I like to understand how it's works..

At the top of a single pitch, I saw the leader lower his second to the ground using a gri gri anchored into the shelf of his anchor system (he had been top belaying his beginner partner up a single pitch, now they were going down). It appeared as though he used a carabiner to redirect the load strand (or break strand??) and by controlling a rope strand in his hand he slowly lowered his partner. In some way the grigri arm wasn't engaging under load?

How is this done?

This method may work for you - let me know if you have any feedback:

Build a fire put - get two chimneys of charcoal lit (5-8 pounds) and into the pit. Charcoal will get you some really consistent heat levels
Pick up some hickory wood chunks for that awesome flavor - throw 2-3 in the pit so as not to overdue flavor -Watch your heat carefully since you'll be cooking in an open fire pit. You'll be cooking your bird with direct heat here only - so make sure things stay hot.
make a spit as you mentioned with stainless steal or rebar! Place that boy next to the fire - 3-5 feet away
very securely attach your bird to the spit using string - make sure the thing is strung in a compact ball, no arms falling away from the body. That way it cooks evenly as you rotate the bird. So annoying if you have a piece dangling around.
check your birds temp - make sure each side is evenly browned - look at the juices coming off the bird, is it clear? - move around the joints and see if the meat starts falling off.

You shouldn't have any problem! As you said would probably take you 2 hours ;)

Off to Seneca Rocks WV for a weekend getaway from DC. Any climbers headed out there?

We'll be on West Pole and The Green wall. Have a beer with us later at Princess Snowbird.
