So, IF Beth jumped off a building........

If Beth jumped off a building it would only be with a B.A.S.E. jumping chute attatched. That's about the only way I'd jump off a building :wink:

Never gonna loan a guy my Aliens again after what happened last time I did that. At least I know this time I'll get them back. :wink:

OK Beth.. I draw the line at this!!! You know I tried numerous times to return your gear only to be ignored.
When you showed up at J-Tree for the Halloween party Dennis throws every year I had all of your shiot in my hand and tried to give it to you!!
You just walked away and refused to speak to me.
Do not even pretend I have not made every effort only to be shut down!!
You also have a few things of mine! Remember??
Your shiot continues to take up a portion of my closet no longer allocated to you!
Grow the F### up! Come get your Shiot! Return My Shiot!!
Break-ups happen every day! I for one am sooo thankful to be out of that one! And above all, STOP ACTING AS IF I STOLE YOU GEAR!!!

The Following are all of the e-mails I sent you Beth Remember???
(these are posted in response to Beth fingering me as a thief...........
I hope others think I deserve a say in this very serious accusation)

9-19-2003
Things have been good. I hope all the best for you Beth.
I never had the intention of hurting you as I am sure you had no ill intent towards me. I'm sorry things could not have been different, but wasting each others time is not what I would call fair.
I need to return some gear to you and retrieve some bits and pieces.
Call me. I hope we can talk sensibly. Bye Gabe

I don't know why I haven't heard from you regarding your gear. Don't you need it for Moab???

10-6-2003
Beth,
I sent you e-mails and called your phone because I wanted you to get your things back, and would like back the few things of mine that I left with you.
Remember who was trying to get whose things back....K......
Georgia, when I asked to have you call me said, "Beth has no interest in speaking with you." It appears to me Beth, that Georgia speaks for you now. Subsequently,
I have no interest in speaking to any outside party about my personal business, relationship, or any other private matter. Read this twice, and I am sure you are not too
busy to get in touch with me personally, after all, we were involved personally. Thanks


These are only a few attempts to rectify both of our missing items. There were MANY MORE. I have yet to hear from her and she only runs the other way when she sees me. It makes me feel like Shiot!

I hope I haven't bored anyone too much but
I Will defend my Honor!!

yup, there is a brand new grey alien. i was going to post this a couple weeks ago but decided not to. according to rumor, it was personally requested by Rich Gottleib himself and the guys at CCH made it especially for him.

now a lot of you may think that there is no need for an intermediate between red and yellow( i was among those at first) there is actually a pretty good size chunk that is taken up by the new size... gunkiemike broke out his calipers and actually measured the usable ranges, its on gunks.com.

i fondeled one of this new cams last monday and as of then Rock and Snow had at least half a dozen after their initial stock sold out pretty much right away

Wow, THANK YOU for that info. I was wondering when/why they started making it. I used it last weekend in Josh, found it quite handy over in Lost Horse. I'm gonna to check out Mike's site now, thanks!!

Anyone else have one? I'd never even seen one before, didn't know they started making them.

I have one of the first eleven ever made. Rock & Snow, up at the Gunks, does a LOT of business in Aliens; Rich (owner) made a few suggestions to the folks that CCH, and was the guy to test the prototype. He mentioned the Grey Alien's existence to a few folks; those of us in the know reserved them months ago. *snicker*

I am such a gear slut. :oops:

Congrats on your most excellent gift, Beth!

what are these aliens?

They're flexible-stemmed cams that have a very small profile; great for putting in pin scars and other small places where a TCU or Camalot with an equivalent-sized lobe wouldn't fit due to width, as the stem and the springs for the Aliens are in the middle, not on the outside, of the lobes. Also, the flexible stem allows them to be loaded over an edge without them walking as much or being damaged. They're hand-built, one at a time.

They frikken rock.

Oh man, now I feel even more lucky!! How much of a production run did they do on the grey ones? Are they gonna be making them as a regular item now? I know my partner got his at a store that got them in stock right before Xmas (great timing for me!). He'd never seen them before either.

I think that they're going to continue with production permanently, but I'm not 100% sure. The place to ask would be on Gunks.com; big discussion over there.

They really, really do fill a gap between yellow and red. I can't wait to set mine, down here (in Australia, right now)...

Again, congrats! That's a heck of a climbing partner. :)

Oh yeah!

I have the red-yellow hybred...

The presence of this new greay alien could breed even MORE new aliens!!!

Will there be a Yellow-grey hybred? How about a red-grey hybred?

CCH may have found a wormhole in the universe that somehow creates infinate opportunity for new alien combinations!

So if the current yellow-red hybred now "skips" the grey, could we have a black-green hybred! Oh my.
