Sorry dudes, soloing is not an option and you need to have a partner to get off the other side of the island.

Given the above, I suppose I accept my impending and certain death with as much dignity as possible.

hmm, it depends. Is MS's sister coming? If so, I choose MS, but with an alter motive.

I don't think that would qualify as a "climbing" movie.
I am thinking more something along the lines of Deliverance....only with less banjo.

Maybe, actually yes. I can see it. "Two climbers, MS and USN, are out on a remote wall. One climber lead the pitch and the other followed on ascenders. MS was doing a huge lower out when his lower out piece pulled throwing him into a dihedral seriously injuring him".

My rescue method would probably involve an equalized three or four piece anchor with a 3:1 z pulley with epenthesis on a speedy recovery. Where as MS's rescue would involve a 15 bolt anchor rated to 50,000 lbs. involving the use of 3/4" steel cable to equalize it and a 12:1 pulley system where I would have bled out and died before he even got it set up.

And that would be without even having left the ground.

On a loosely related note- any hints on tabouleh? Making it for a BBQ tomorrow and the bulgur always seems to come out undercooked compared to what I would get in Dearborne.

EDITx2- Actually, on second thought tabouleh is more of a Lebanese dish, isn't it? I grew up working with a bunch of Syrians, so my concept of ME food might be a bit biased. Always amazes me how much the food changes over such small distances out that way.

As I said before, I'm motivated by my stomach. Laugh

Tabbouleh is all over the middle east (and Turkey/Armenia). Soak the bulgur in boiling water until the texture is right, if the water gets cold before the bulgur is soft, replace it with more boiling water. Be sure to squeeze out the water from the bulgur when it's ready to use. Use more lemon juice than you think you need. The main ingredient should be parsley (though that varies from region to region). Add salt, pepper, olive oil, and a bit of chopped tomato and mint if you want and you're all set to go. It tastes best when freshly made, once it goes into the fridge the flavors will be more muddled.

You see, that's where you getting everything wrong. my method of rescue will be opening the john long's anchor book, page 55 and 72, build a 3 piece sling X , shot a picture and post on RC via Iphone, wait till mid day to get 43 responses back from RC then secure myself using proper anchor method cause rescuer's safety is always the # 1 on the list then back to ST , post your situation and wait for couple of hardcore bigwallers to layout my plan B options. meanwhile, I am on the phone with US coastguard and ground marines to come and get their boy out.

well, johnny is an established climber and he knows what I could do but USN thinks that I am not a climber. You need to read USN latest 450 lbs haul bag discussions . not 120 lbs of pig hauling but pulling 450 lbs pig on the nose.

I realize that conducting self rescue operations on the ground with page 55 and 72 of Self Rescue For Dummys in my hand is a bit different then doing it up on pitch 25 of this grade VI wall in 50 MPH winds with 30 min of sunlight left. At which point the marines I called earlier will be rescuing not only you but me as well. And shit, I just dropped the whole rack. We are totally fucked now.

I dident say I was hauling 450 lbs., go back and reread the post. I said I had 450 lbs. on the Pro Traxion. If you understood how wall concepts worked you would know that when a two person space haul is conducted the pulley bares the weight of the haul bags and both people simultaneously.

Here were our pigs:

Does that look like it would weigh 450 lbs. to you?

so few years ago , this guy tries to make his own kala-pacheh in bay area. he picks up a sheep from a farm and takes to his garage and kills it. during the cleaning process, he washes the garage and blood runs down on the side walk. a neighbor calls the cop thinking that this dude just killed a person and minutes later, police raids the place.

The man get charges with animal cruelty with fine of $25000 and spends 30 days in the hole for one kaleh-pacheh
