You didn't start the fire....you just fueled it with your burning desire.

It will be so nice to finally get the final word on this hot button issue. I've been using a hip belay ever since the controversy surfaced.

The fleshy fingers or the bionic fingers?
Both. I got that thing when I was 15....you have no idea how many brats I had to babysit to save up for it!

I like gri gri's only in the hands of an expert who knows how to use it. Not a beginner tool.

my grigri exploded causing my aliens to spontaneously combust which in turn cross loaded all of my trad draws (unfortunately they weren't opposite and opposing lockers). so i got a dog with a bandana, grew my hair long and took up free soloing.

He's here, but he changed his name - felt there was too much negativity in the world as it is without his hatred!

He changed his account because hating is too negative and keeps you from achieving a spiritual connection with the rock, thereby campusing 5.14.
