Personal attacks are so 2014...

Did any of you jerks booty my bail-biner? It is my only one and I'd like it back, please. Nevermind, I'll just use quicklinks on everything from now on.

Furthermore, jugs/boobies are awesome... are we supposed to be talking about climbing here?

Don't use an autoblock or yer gonna die. and make sure you always use the standard 16 point anchor including a boat anchor. and use 200+ft of static cord because webbing cuts

Does anybody know how to convert American aid ratings to Slovenian hexadecimal? I'm planning a climbing trip to Uruguay.

I accidentally dumped a can of gasoline on my rope. It was only a 1 gallon can and it wasn't all of it, just about 9/10ths of a gallon really...maybe not even that much. But then I was drying it with my camp stove (it's an MSR if that makes a difference, I can get the model too if it's important) and my rope caught fire.

So it was only on fire for like 40 seconds or so (okay maybe a minute, maybe!) But as soon as I saw it I threw it on the dirt and then jumped on it and rolled on it til I put it out. I got a little burned but whatever. So now it's kinda stiff and it's all black and charred, except for some white parts I can see on the inside.

So I don't really have the money to replace it right now. Do you guys think it's still okay to climb on? I can't really see my middle mark anymore. You think that's dangerous?

Ropes are OK if they are on fire for less than two minutes. If you're really worried, just cut off the ends and the middle. Most ropes nowadays are UL-rated, so you're good to go.

Dude, instead of internet conjecture why don't you contact them directly?

Anyone know the best spices for crag puppies? I've been using thyme and oregano along with some rosemary. Seems to work well enough on the smaller pooches but the big ones not so much.

I've been pounding on the bigger mutts but they're still pretty tough. I was thinking about maybe just turning them into Jerky. Maybe I should wait till they stop breathing before pounding them.

Those things are meant to hold elephants dude, you think a little wear and tear means you should retire on it?

Pro Tip: Stuff the crag puppies with crag baggies. Makes for a delicious meal and is partially automated if the puppy is hungry enough.

Flashing aid jugs!!!!

Today I placed an x4 in a 5 inch crack. I fell and the cam pulled. These x4 must be defective. Oh, before you ask, it was placed perfectly.

J Marsella,
This is a family oriented forum - keep it clean, please. We don't need to see a Skittle infected whale tongue, or whatever that unmentionable thing is.

frank minunni,
Flash the aid jugs to obtain the catatonic state before you bop them. This helps release the proper proportions of hormones and endorphins.

Your phallic-shaped climbing wall and mention of a "hard send" make me scared.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
