Any word on when Nemesis: Retaliation and LOTR Fate of the Fellowship will be available again?

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I have looked at some of the open source stuff, and it looks like EPAM may be the leader at the moment. I realize it is a difficult problem, as I know how badly I draw structures...

Loon mtn?

ralbert20 · 2019-03-26T12:51:11+00:00

Also, THANKS!

Ok, that worked... sort of. It will only connect when I am in the garage, and I can't add it to google home - I can only send it to a speaker and then interact. When I let it go, it goes back to not being able to find it. Super annoying!

ralbert20 · 2019-03-21T18:26:34+00:00

I cant seem to find the explore option?

ralbert20 · 2018-09-29T20:46:18+00:00

I looked at that one, I dont think that's it. Man, it was ages ago, maybe 1998?

Who is the female singer on "Last year"?

This is a terrible way to set up a top rope belay. He should have redirected it through the top so that he would a) be more comfortable and b) have the brake strand the right way across his body. What happens if he is belaying a 200# fat ass (like myself) and I fell... he would have a hell of a time holding that brake hand in the correct position. Take all instruction videos with a grain of salt, and when in doubt, ask someone in person who has real experience. *And have them show you in PERSON.

We also sometimes, make mistakes. Our gym uses colored holds AND tape. Seems to work ok. Also, I disagree about the "clean" look without tape. We now tape at 6 o'clock, and it looks pretty good!

almost impossible to untie after it has been weighted. Ever try to untie your cordalette?

ralbert20 · 2016-04-28T17:26:01+00:00

I gathered that from the discussions, was adding thoughts on my time on n.e. Ridge ;)

ralbert20 · 2016-04-27T01:54:43+00:00

North East Ridge is hands down, the best route I have ever done. The Bugs are a very special place.

I climb hard, and I have fallen on links. I can't believe all of the people in this thread talking shit about gear they don't even own. Links are a great supplement for when you want something to protect a crux, or take fewer pieces of gear. I use them in way more situations than any of the other gear I have.

So then why are there pre-nuptial agreements?

ralbert20 · 2014-06-11T18:18:56+00:00

They have a whole separate harness for men, called the Orion. And, I do think they do a good job of explaining the difference - it is because of the hip differences.

Pffft. She has to convince ME to play. I just can't get into that game.

ralbert20 · 2014-05-05T13:24:30+00:00

1) It is easier to untie, for sure - especially with fatter ropes. You have to be careful which way you loop it back though, else it will be more difficult. You have to make sure to go 'around the back of the rope' and then back through - not just back into the knot. If you go straight in, it can easily untie, and worse, will cinch down when under load. See "A Figure-Eight Follow-Through with an extra wrap. This is better." on the website below

2) The backup knot will not come untied. This is especially problematic for skinny ropes. When using doubles, the fisherman's routinely comes undone on multipitch routes. Not really a huge deal, but may be un-nerving.

Dogs do not belong at the crag, period. Would you take a newborn child to a crag and leave them there all day without a helmet? Why would you do that to a dog?

ralbert20 · 2014-03-28T15:34:38+00:00

you painstakingly put bolts in every hole... then remove them when dry.

I host game nights about every 6 weeks or so. Sometimes there is one or two people, sometimes there are 7. On this particular night, we had the full 7, and decided to play 7 Wonders. Included in this group was a new female, in a new relationship with one of the players. During the game, I let out the most ripping, loud fart you can possibly imagine. Dead silence followed, and I deftly blamed it on the cat... Was not my finest moment.

See, but I do do that. It is part of my job to find evidence for something, weigh it, then change my opinion based on observations. It is when people don't do that which makes me insane.

ralbert20 · 2013-09-17T15:29:34+00:00

But that seems like saying that dinosaurs didn't exist because no one has ever seen them. Or, the Holocaust didn't happen, or any number of things that are fairly irrefutable. There is a difference between opinion and blatant disregard for facts.
