You clicked on it? I never watched the first one. Don't reckon I'll be watching this one either. DMT

I was referring to when he got all pumped up and challenged JT512 to a duel. Mildly entertaining watching a grown man act like a complete tool.

i saw this post and thought to myself, "great. here's another P.O.S. vid." i didn't even click on the link to the vid for a while b/c i didn't want to boost your hits for ads... but then curiosity got the better of me, and... well... i'll be the first to say that crow doesn't taste good, but when prepared properly can be eaten. that was hilarious! i wasn't a huge fan of the whole workout bit, but i DID especially like the suit and tux making fun of my rant regarding a lack of professionalism. hit the high points of rapping ethics by area, discussed your opinion on girth-hitching belay loop (which i still disagree w/ but live & let live). well played, mike. bonus points for absurd humor. better setup on bolts too, IMO. please don't break my heart and turn into a total prick about your ad hits again. edit: admittedly i did a little skipping through the video, b/c it was a bit long at the beginning. so i may have missed a point or two of contention, but still funny as hell.

in terms of the comments around the 3:30 marks about the steel rap rings being indestructible and always being at a different point. the buldge in the ring from where the two ends are welded together makes the ring prefer to sit in one way. this causes the rope to unevenly wear in one section of the ring. If you do not believe me, go to the top of Voodoo surfing (orange Oswald wall, new river gorge) and you will see two giant worn half way through rings. This is one of the most popular places for beginners to climb at the new and these bolts (other than the wear on the rings) look no more than a year or 2 old.

I liked this video a whole lot better. I thought the suit was good, then you upstaged it with the tux. See? I knew with a couple more takes you could get it right!

Carnage is a good name for you. Let me get this straight you know this is happening yet you are doing nothing about it. Guess its not your job to repair learning areas. Here you are with all this experience but your going to wait till some kid gets hurt so that you can say I told you so. This is more likely: choose the right answer. A: This is made up. B: I have to discredit this guy quickly as he is becoming the new Alpha male C: I have to dis this guy cause everybody else is and it's 40 minutes till coffee break. What else am I going to do? D: All of the above. I choose D

I always make sure to rap off after a single pitch climb, but what are you going to do? How about replacing hardware before it gets worn half way through. How many competent climbers must have seen it that way and just don't care? If you ask me, thats a bit scary.

I let the guys at the local gear shop know, dropped in a couple bucks for anchor replacement donations like i always do. i figure thats the best i can do.

Every time you punch, you drop your other hand. I'd side-step and counter that shit so fast you'd never know what happened ... except that your wallet was missing, along with a few teeth. Nice video, though. Thanks.

I love how the guy [who I otherwise agree with; regional bias maybe] questions saving a few bucks at the 4:06 mark, and yet his kid walks behind him without so much as a free comb from school pictures. Mockingbirds love hair like that. Please do not ask how I know any of this.

Seconded - I've seen this too, but at RRG. You know, at most of the REALLY WELL TRAVELED SPOTS (swan slab comes to mind, and the rap off of pine line) where i've seen rap rings around webbing, almost all the time they have been worn not just in one spot but several, like 4 or 5, because people rotate the rings. maybe this is because its with webbing instead of chains, but so far no deaths on those routes from the rings failing, and i gotta tell you, swan slab 5.6's and 5.7's probably are among the most climbed routes on the planet...

Strong werke, mike - but you need to wrap better when gloving up. You're not giving your wrists enough support.

In reply to: The little jogging scene at 0:14 seemingly borders on http://kidshealth.org/...al/brain/shaken.html. I found it disturbing to watch. Then the next vid is really going to send you into a spin. The unit and I are slamming back wine at the end like it was born on the Rez. Maybe you could find a link to a 12 step program for infant children in advance. Your help would be appreciated.

I agree with you regarding the girth hitched belay loop. I have had a sling/daisy girth hitched to my belay loop for 300+ days of holding body weight. The girth hitch was moved about 6 times over the 18 months I was using this setup. Upon visual inspection of my belay loop the entire loop seems to have worn evenly and there are no obvious concentrations of fraying or stretching where the hitches were tightened. On another note, I once knew a ski patroller who put his 3 year old girl in a backpack and took her skiing. She started lessons at 5, and now at 19 she's on the provincial team. The infant seems to be dynamically harnessed in, I doubt she'll see the forces sufficient to cause trauma inside her skull.
