Josh I wish people would stop saying "anal" when they really mean "anal retentive." It paints an icky picture, and personally, I don't care to think about how anal notch is getting, in or out of his bedroom. But maybe that's just me being anal. retentive, that is.
"Anal retentive" refers to Freud's stages of development. I believe the specific stage is, in fact, the anal stage. One is anal retentive if they are stuck in this stage. In this stage, we learn we can control things (like our pooping schedule). Some of us never get over the wonder of this, hence, anal retentive people, who have a tendency to want to control everything. The point of all this is that the phrase "anal retentive" IS related to the anus, and is no less unsettling than saying plain ol' "anal".
The End.

Ooh, maybe some handwarmers so I can climb offwidth in the winter!

I realized that I spent too much money on gear (trad rack, camping/hiking gear, etc) and gadgets (gps, camera, 42" lcd) when someone asked me what I wanted for Christmas.
I have no answer... and no money

This (x2)
and this:
and I'm pretty sure that's all. The pack is in the mail already, but I'm having a real hard time making up my mind on the axes. I was convinced that I wanted a set of Quarks, but now the Taa-K-Oons are really starting to grow on me...
hosh.

Have you climbed on both? The Taaks are quite a bit heavier in the head. I would expect one might suit your swing better.

I asked for a Moon Finger Board-- only to be told that there is NO distributor in the States, and shipping from UK is about $150!!!
Santa Clause has crapped on my finger strength training... but Maybe he will still bring my new rope: Beal Top gun dry/60m with the lowest impact force of any single dynamic.

I'm not sure who to ask but I've been climbing on my first pair of shoes for quite a while now. An OLD pr of ASOLOs.
that I bought back in the early 90's.
They are still holding up, I've taken care of them but this year I will have to retire them unless I have the entire shoe, rand and sole, reworked. The rand feels like an old sidewall of a tire, chalky!!!
Back in October I climbed on a pr of 5.10 Anasazis and they were incredible!!!
So, Santa, if you happen to read this drop me a line. I need a new pair of shoes......

Don't have a chance to test either... Just buying blind from the internet. There's only one shop in town and they don't carry the Taa-K-Oons. I picked up the Quarks they have on hand and the tools felt slightly awkward in my hand. I don't regularly climb with anyone I know that has the Taa-K-Oons. I also don't climb ice, so in the end, the tools are just to get me across a glacier and maybe up a little bit of ice, so I figure anything I get will work, so long as it has enough versatility built into it. The one thing I do know is that all the tools I've ever borrowed were horrible to swing so the Taa-K-Oons can't be worse that what I've used before.
hosh.

Why not put a hand warmer in your chalk bag?
