Just rip the pages you need out of the copies at the climbing gym.  To cover up the ripping sound yell out a random dumb gym climber word.  NICE!!! ALLEZ!!!GIT IT!!!SEND IT BRO!!!! Before you know it you can have your very own econo-select guide.

Lol or better, visit Salsa B&B and after the big guy goes night night, borrow some pages from his clean guide....

Be sure and grab the ones in the back with all the filled in boxes. Good for Kleenex,  TP,  tinder to start campfire etc.

If times get tough, we could roast animals (or even Brad if he passes in good condition) over Brad's guidebook collection.

i tell you what, if you split the book up into three different  smaller books... most importantly the high peaks... i would absolutely buy all three... or at least just the high peaks so i could go wander around up there a few ounces lighter :lol:

Can you make the new Pinnacles guide pocket sized?  To do this you might need to make it like one of those tiny bibles.  You know the kind with the really super thin pages? So easy to rip out, no need to fold or ball up to fit in pocket, and double as rolling papers.

I'm actually glad now to have paid extra for such good quality paper  :P

It's not absorbent, and it sure isn't soft  ::)

Noal, that is a brilliant request...pocket sized guide.

The current guide is too heavy.
I'm not worthy.

I like it. Three pocket size volumes, all with a different cover pic of Brad in his short shorts (so you can easily tell them apart) and call it the package deal.

Talk about thread drift!  Let’s get back to the Gigantic Fall...

Looks like maybe a 5 on a scale of 10.

It’s got some distance but no flipping, smacking or special sound effects. 

So how can he get that to that elusive 10?

  Artistic tumbling
  Blood curdling scream (or multi-screams within distance fallen for extra points)
  Ground fall with no injuries (injuries lose points)
  How many pieces fail (failed bolts for extra points)
  Broken rope (cut rope for extra)
     
     ...

Dislodged rock on self/belayer.   Extra points if both are hit.

Voided bowels/bladder.  Extra points for contact with belayer
