I like vids on rogue waves. Do you know the source of this gif?
I couldn't free climb no matter how much payment was offered!
Hope that they don't get cramp in their leg!
Some info here:
Ship's bridge RIPPED after being slammed by monster wave in the Baltic Sea
A ship's bridge was ripped off after the tanker was slammed by a monster wave in the Baltic Sea. Footage from January 29 shows the Russian oil tanker as it was hit by a huge wave. Parts of the ship's bridge was ripped off by the shear ferocity of the wave.

Separates the men from the boys.
Corbett’s Couloir in Jackson Hole for those who dont know.
Some moron from work the other day was asking how many 14ers I have “done”.
I asked “summer ascent, Winter ascent, skied, or done more than 1 in a day?”
Edit: @Maple One got it before me.
Here is one.

I don’t know if they still do it but back in the day Jackson Hole used to have a “Ski the Big One” promo where you tracked your runs and they gave you pins for 100k vertical. I knocked out 100k in about 4 days once, but I never, ever went that way off of the tram. I had enough trouble with the mogul fields when you went right, dropping into chutes was well beyond me.Separates the men from the boys.

Actually did the 100k plus in one week twice.
Found the vid. It’s the first one in his list. Ship survives.
Edit: found it after you dudes already found it lol. Oh well. There’s some other good waves in there.
LNG is a unique liquid. It’s colorless, tasteless, odorless, (I kinda wanna know who stuck his tongue in it) looks like water, and would travel in that tank at -260°F.
That's a EFI setup. The fuel rail and injectors are in the middle.
Awesome. Catherine Destivelle soloing El Matador on Devil's Tower. Well, part of it. I met her at Indian Creek back in the 90's. A bunch of us were getting together for the kind of abuse one goes to a place like IC to find. Catherine was there with Jeff Lowe (RIP) and they hooked up with our crew after seeing my friend Jaime working a first ascent of an offwidth beast of a route. Catherine is a real sweetheart, but when she climbs something hard, it is game on. Her resume is incredible, but she's humble as can be. Well, she did put a deep burn on Lowe one night. Now I respect the hell out of Jeff Lowe and learned much from climbing with him when I was young. But he was a bit quirky for a certifiable badass. Someone had a bottle, I think it was Jack and we were just passing it and taking slugs. Lowe poured some into his cup and Catherine said: "Just drink it, you pussy!" and brought the house down.

I worked for Alpine-Lowe for the Summer of 87' after graduating HS and before entering CU. I'd see the Lowe brothers in the warehouse as I was assembling packs, etc.Awesome.

*maybe it was Lowe-Alpine. I can never remember.
Wish they'd make a (great) movie about the EF. That song has spoken to me since I was a child. Grew up going to my GF's camp on Lake Ontario so I feel connected to the song.
Ahh, the classic wakeup scene from "Sixteen Candles..." Believe it or not, the actress Haviland Morris, that played the girl, is a redhead IRL.

I'm hoping that is CGI,,, but I have a can of .30 cal AP just in case
Yes, Lowe Alpine. I still have one of their large capacity packs around here somewhere. Thank you for your mountaineering service.
I feel you on that. I lived in mid-MI for 22 years and did trips to the UP in all seasons. If you're up on Lake Superior's coast in the winter, it makes "Lake Superior, it's said, never gives up her dead, when the gales of November come early" feel very real. Swim in Superior in late October, go ahead.

Those things scare the crap out of me. I see first hand some of the stuff being done with AI and I hope they never marry the two.
Glad to know there's other climbers on here. I seem to not meet many gun aficionados in the climbing community. Thank for the story. I met Jeff a few times. I always thought his diagnosis especially fucked as he may have been the best athlete on the planet when he was in his prime.Awesome. Catherine Destivelle soloing El Matador on Devil's Tower.
