I ♥ NPS morning report :)

REI cannot reasonably revoke membership if someone is using their policy as stated. A 100% lifetime satisfaction guarantee is a great marketing tool, perhaps, but is unsustainable, at least for...

I also treat w/Aquaseal, and make a distinction between "fall apart" and "wear out". All my shoes eventually wear out, but they do not fall apart. The Savant has a rep for falling apart before...

Only hardcore abusers (and careless consumers) will be bummed by the new policy. It's about time they did something about "Return Every Item"

Irish luck flowing deep this Spring - Wow! Thanks to you for writing this up, for making that climb, and to Tyler for not breaking or dying.

Amazing grace.

and...doctors should be skeptical, too :)

Welcome! Of course it is likely possible to make a 4th class exit there, too, but the 3rd class route is easy to find...

Ken, it seems to me that this incident could lead to some interesting safety research. While I disagree with your assertion that it was "suspension trauma" (a phenomenon associated with prolonged,...

Are you referring to the loose gully (aka high-water exit) just west of the Misery/Parunuweap confluence?

FYI there is an easy 3rd class exit downstream of there, near the Powell plaque.

I am still wondering about your judgment in this case. From what I can see with web-o-vision, you seem willing to gloss over other potential factors that probably played a significant role, such as...

Briefly,

Suspension trauma only occurs when one is already unconscious / immobile, so I don't think it is relevant here. Judging from your post in another thread (2nd paragraph of quote, above), I...

Great body disposal w/o burial - part 1. Part 2? Call in the bearded vulture, another French type that eats only bones. Beats the hole/coffin/vault thing - I'd love to set up a vulture-based mortuary...

Probably? hee hee...guess I'd rather do a twosome than have a millstone. Anyways, thanks for replying and enjoy Zion's finest canyon - take a good camera, 'cuz it's dark in the third nars...and...

Well...bad choice of words, perhaps. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, I just prefer the standard method. How 'bout you?

Curious what your partner evaluation criteria are regarding skill set, physical conditioning, sense of humor, etc. Also, how many times have you done Heaps, and under what conditions?
