I tried that, and now my stoppers look like someone gave them the Gorilla Mask.

And you can't get up it to save your life? Okay, in this case, I should be able to get up it no problem. But only because I'm the stronger climber. If the tables were turned, we might be in real trouble. That's an inconvenience for certain, but it it a safety issue per se? I've been on several different sides of that situation. In one case I had to down-climb and we backed off of the route from the base of the third (of three) pitches. In retrospect, I am 99% certain that I was being a pussy and just lost my nerve (on moves that were probably well within my ability). The pro was all bomber. We all lived. I didn't even have to leave any gear behind. Only my ego was bruised. People climb stuff every day only to get bouted by some crack/slab/runout that they thought was well within their ability. That's all part of climbing IMHO. Completely different from someone with little experience representing themselves by what they sent in the gym or on some soft route/TR/pulled on gear.

I know. I think it's hilarious that not only did they cave on the original move but now that it has fully earned a new home in scummunity, they don't have the stones to put it back.

You're right. I don't have stones. But there is also climbing content in the post above yours.
Jeesh. Can't make everyone happy, you know. Everyone's a critic...

I don't care where this thread is, I'm just amused by the lack of conviction or consistency. I&A and In Memory Of are the only forums I think need moderation in anything but the most extreme cases.

Back to the OT though, I soloed a ladder while hanging christmas decorations today.
I totally felt at one with the rock aluminum. It was a very spiritual experience.

Dude. Aluminum ladders are totally aid. I wish I was back in the good old days when real men would stand on the top rung of an oak 10 footer. You're just cheating yourself.

In reply to: wrong. pistachio is not solid enough, and far too green. i prefer macadamias. And i frigging HATE when companies subsitute pine nuts with cashews in pesto, other than that im fine with cashews.
Man, when I was in China there were people selling pin-nuts everywhere for what worked out to be like 5 bucks a kilo. I ate way too many of those things.

for a good alternative pesto: roast almonds,
cook baby spinach for 30 Sec, then rinse in cold water and squeeze out water.
in food processor mix roasted almonds with spinach and ricotta, add some salt,pepper, parmigiano and olive oil. Et Voilą
edit to add:
This alternative pesto is the perfect pre-or post Climbing meal:
High in carbs and Protein, and Tasty!

While I don't doubt that what you're proposing would be fine, I think you're misrepresenting it's skills in being pesto. I think that it could be quite dangerous to your partner.
