Climbing Guru

because im bored. i name the first lines to 60 songs that came up on shuffle on my ipod. can you name them?

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 60 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.

Ok so I have been working out lately(rock climbing, lifting, swimming, biking, running) and have developed somewhat of a lean muscle look. If I take a break from lifting and climbing but continue to work the calesthenics and endurance, will my lean muscle look go away? Im not necessarily concerned with strength, just appearance. I dont want to be a worthless skinny looking mofo again…thats all

Rock climbing?!?!?!?
okay so I just got back from a trip to Canada where I went rock climbing for the first time in a town called Squamish. It was awesome! It sucks though because I live in Nebraska where there are pretty much no rock climbing places except crappy indoor walls. I was wondering if anyone has been to any really good rock climbing places in Iowa, Wyoming, South Dakota, or Colorado (i know there are a ton of places here). It would be good if the places were located on the side of the state closest to Nebraska and also if they would be good for beginners. Thanks so much. I love rock climbing!!

Most rock climbing in South Dakota will be in the Black Hills. There are quite a few places that do beginning rock climbing. I’ve been on one near Mt. Rushmore that was great.

What is the best cat 3 mountain climb in Colorado?
Looking for a trip this summer.

I don’t know if you would call this the best cat. 3 climb in CO but it does appear to be challenging so I am presenting it for your consideration.

The Wetterhorn (14,015 feet) is rated as a class 3/4. It is located in northern Hinsdale County, 9 miles east of the town of Ouray, CO. The standard, and only common, route on Wetterhorn Peak is the southeast ridge, which is accessed via the Matterhorn Creek drainage on the south side of the mountain. The trailhead is on the Henson Creek Road, accessible from Lake City. The route involves 3,535 ft of ascent from the trailhead and some exposed scrambling (Class 3/4) on the ridge itself. The nearby east face is considered a high-quality advanced snow climb or extreme ski descent.[

Determine the displacement between base camp and camp B.?
A mountain climbing expedition establishes a base camp and two intermediate camps, A and B. Camp A is 11,200m east of and 3200m above base camp. Camp B is 8400m east of and 1700m higher than camp A. Determine the displacement between base camp and camp B.

First answer w/ all work shown gets the 10 points.

And thanks for the solution.
I also, forgot to mention, this is the answer,
(3176.5m at 28.2 degress N of E). The first part of the answer is not right because my teacher made an error; she didn’t realize that camp B was 1700m higher than Camp A, she thought that it was 1700m above base camp.

The displacement from Base Camp to Camp B is the straight-line distance between the two camps. this can be found by algebraically adding the tow separate displacements together to find the total displacement. The total change in height from Base Camp to Camp B is the change in height from Base Camp to Camp A (3200m) plus the change in height from Camp A to Camp B (1700m). The total change in height is 4900m. The total horizontal displacement between Base Camp and Camp B is the change in horizontal distance between Base Camp and Camp A (11,200m) plus the change in horizontal distance between Camp A and Camp B (8400m). The total change in horizontal distance is 19,600m. Using the total displacement and the Pythagorean Theorem, find the straight line distance from Base Camp to Camp B.

a^2+b^2=c^2

Let a=total horizontal distance (19,600m)
Let b=total vertical distance (4900m)
Let c=total displacement

c=20203.21757m

research has shown that people greatly overestimate the risks associated with nuclear power,firefighting,?
hunting, spray cans, mountain climbing, and skiing. At the same time, they greatly underestimate the risks of such hazards as x-rays, swimming, electric power, home appliances, and surgery. why should this be?

In a word: Drama.
The research just points out a general technological
ignorance.
Sad isn’t it?
It’s the reason for the old engineering saw that goes:
“It’s impossible to fool-proof anything,
there’s always an fool greater than the proof.”

Is this letter (part 2) prose poetry? I am so glad to have found it . . .?
Gone! Gone are the faces and voices of yesteryear. Gone are the immaculate gentlemen in top hats, Salzburg gold brocade vests and high-stand-collared shirts, harlequin cravats elaborately knotted at their throats, each a Beau Brummell smelling ever so faintly of Vinolia shaving soap. Gone are the ladies in floral outing jackets, clotted cream satin blouses, necklines framed in Brandenburg lace, and black steeple boots peeking out from beneath ruby taffeta skirts, heading off to meet friends at Vauxhall gardens. Gone are the chimney sweeps and black-faced climbing boys; gone are the knots of Haymarket trulls, patrolling Great Windmill and Tichbourne Streets in dark silk patelots; gone are wide-eyed, bare-footed lads in knee-breeches and monkey-jackets, looking to diddle the unwary, hopping on the backs of carriages as passers-by hollered, “Whip behind!”; gone are St. Giles blackbirds and the urchins of Jacob’s Island and East End’s dismal rookeries. All gone!
Gone are the informal pageants of yesteryear. Invariably, as the clock of St. Martin’s struck eleven, the quiet street beneath my window filled with a curious menagerie of characters. First appeared a hirsute Italian organ-grinder, sunburnt, offering up airs from ‘Old Hundredth’ and ‘Postman’s Knock’; then came a shivering Hindoo in voluminous turban, dirty white muslin caftan, worsted stockings and hob-nailed shoes, beating his tom-tom. Following him, a sight for the ages: a brazen woman in Scotch cap, adorned with rusty black feathers, apparently culled from a mourning coach past service, wearing a faded tartan kilt, fleshings, short calico trews, a velveteen jacket, tin buckles in her shoes and two patches of red brick-dust on her haggard cheeks, dancing an absurd fling, interpolated occasionally with a shrill howl to the music of etoliated bagpipes screeded by a shabby rogue arrayed in similar habiliments. Still they pour back into my memory, lamentable women with suckling babes, jugglers, acrobats, cardsharps and swarthy pifferari … Gone! Gone! All … gone!
Ah, bureaucratic time, insatiable fiend, you have taken them all! You have taken Dickens’s London, aye Dickens himself. My father sold Dickens a raven as pet for his children, who persisted in biting their ankles, though ol’ Grip delighted Dickens. Dickens lives no more, nor Grip, nor any of the children, save Harry. Each made his imprint on life, and life on him. I still remember Harry, in loving memory of his father, memorial geranium affixed to his lapel, leaning on Dickens’s velvet-covered reading stand at family Christmas gatherings, reciting with mesmerizing power from “Cricket on the Hearth,” “David Copperfield,” and “A Christmas Carol.” I was honored to be invited. Grip lives on in “Barnaby Rudge,” and as an oracular figure in a poem by Edgar Allan Poe. As the fog of late life swamps my mind, I have only these few things to throw up as a bulwark against Time’s winged chariot.
I could only hope that I’d have the largeness of spirit to minister to the needs of my fellows in calamity as Dickens did at Staplehurst, every foot an Englishman! I could never dream of giving to them the genius of my words, for I have none. I have only the past, and a little bit of future. I would be dead chuffed to see ol’ Dickens one more time, but I’ll settle for his words, and world, as reward enough. I see, through fading eyes, the world changing before me, and am left to wonder if one hundred years hence, Dickens will be celebrated as he is today, a century after his birth. How I do prattle on! Forgive me! I must prepare for my approaching voyage to your shores. As if in final tribute to impermanence, I will be steaming to you on the ship’s maiden voyage. This age celebrates the new, and one hundred years hence neither my conveyance, RMS Titanic, nor I will be spoken of again. If only each of us — you, me, Dickens — were unsinkable, the vanished world I can barely describe might have found some quarter other than the dusty memory of an old fool who has already lived too long.

Affectionately,
Rupert

Expository writing (of the nature of exposition; serving to expound, set forth, or explain: an expository essay; expository writing), with intense narrative and persuasive elements.

Rebellious and abstract lines, refine thoughts through a presentation of many details mosaic-ed together by the writer, in a verbal (and well gunned) challenge – lit – Colts, caliber 44 will have to be reckoned with, and there is no argument about it. So, it is not prose, it is a persuasive writing to attract (or enslave) opinions – and it manages well. My friend Rupert, (Rouari, the Summer of the Red Wolf – Morris West) is a nautilus who chooses to write. Right?

Good script friend, be around always!

Got a favorite Mountain song?
After getting a ‘best of’ compilation a couple months ago, I *needed* to replace a couple old vinyl albums in their entirety… so a nice double album CD set of Mountain “Climbing” and “Nantucket Sleighride” arrived in the mail recently :-)

For Yasgur’s Farm

Yours? :-)

Do you think this is weird for my age?
I’m 13, but I don’t act like it at all.

I have an imaginary friend, his name is Aaron Lamington and we climb trees together. I love to dress up and I still have tea parties with all 48 of my soft toys. I play imaginary games, like I make mud pies and sell them in a pretend shop. I still watch all those kiddie shows like Charlie and Lola (my favourite show) and I love toys and stuff like Barbie. My school bag is a Dora Explorer one. I still tell everyone I’m a kid, and I hate being called a ‘teenager’.

Oh and, I’m not dumb, I get Honour Awards all the time. Do you think I have some sort of mental problem? Or maybe I just refuse to grow up… My childhood was pretty lousy. What do you think?
Woah, who said I was seeing and hearing things? Lol.

Well could be a form of infantilism possibly? it is a relatively common fetish. The child shows could almost be paraphilic. There are verying degrees of Paraphilic infantilism.
There is a lot of information on infantilism online if you would like to research it.

Recommend me some rock climbing shoes?
So I recently started going bouldering with my friends, and I LOOOOVE it!! :D

I expect I’ll be going pretty often, we’re going once a week, so I think some climbing shoes would be a good investment.

The thing is though, they’re quite expensive! The cheapest pair I saw was £55 :/ I was hoping to pay a little less than this.

Can you recommend me some good quality climbing shoes, but at a decent price (under £30 if possible)

Also if you could recommend me any other equiptment that will help me

Thanks :)

Welcome to the world of rock climbing…
Unfortunately, climbing shoes that cheap that are high quality don’t exist. You can buy used, but I would suggest reading another post I recently answered concerning used climbing shoes a few days back to get my opinion on that (not a good idea).
Climbing shoes are an investment into your climbing future. A good pair of climbing shoes will last you years of climbing (if you resole them). So save up and buy the right shoes for you.
Other things:
-Chalk
-Crash pad
-Stiff Nylon bristles brush (think toothbrush size)
-Lesson on spotting

Thats it. Bouldering is significantly less expensive to get into and can afford you a lot of enjoyment.
-Good Luck
