I bet no one else could have done that off the top of their heads. back to brasil from spain.  
But I'd say NA would have named all the right places too.

Reviews are off the charts and my dad said it was damn good. I was pretty much the only person on earth who thought Hurt Locker was way overrated though, so I don't know how I'll feel
So, ZDT is intense. I was expecting it to be mostly about the raid on the compound, and perhaps the planning of the raid. However its was mostly about the tracking down of BL, with the raid as the climatic conclusion. Its not for the weak of heart, its rough and violent. It doesnt' white wash, glorify, or demonize it. Just kind of puts it out there with out being too in your face, this is what happened. Maybe. You always have to take these movies with a grain of salt too, they kind of try to present a story about what happened, but you really don't know the whole story, what went down and what didn't.
Overall, a very well done movie and story.

So I need a new love 45 and 50M roaps? WTF? are we in the 1950s or something. I've been bitchy cause my 60m is becoming too short for what I wants to do.... Speak of... I need a new roap. 70M preferrably. Bi-Colored, Dry. I am in love with my 70m 9.9mm Maxim Glider bipattern. Only draw back is that it doesn't feed super awesome thru a grigri because of it's relative stiffness. Especially the grigri 2 If it will mostly be a tard rope and belayed with a tube style device, you can't get a better rope or sub .12 climbing IMO 70m?! WTF!?! There's nothing that tall around here... well there are a couple of 12s and 13s and a 14 that need a 70m, but we all know the likelihood of that happening. Other than the occasional linking of pitches just for fun, my 70 earns it's keep on the descents. Combined with my tagline, I can fly down the wall. It also gives an extra bit of security on full length raps where you would have to down climb a bit or just barely reach the anchor with a 60. And just look how damn sexy this thing is...
