Man the quality is absolutely awful, the editing is poor, the only thing good about the video is the soundtrack, which was illegally stolen, and it doesnt even include the best verse...
`What makes a man is the woman in his arms just cuz she has big titties OR is it that was he fights everyday, NO ITS PROBABLY THE TITTIES. Now your a Maaow, a maow maow maow, now your a maymaymaow a maow maow maow maow.`

Just wanted to also put in a good word about Mike Tschipper, whom struck up a friendship with me back in the early eighties. I liked his calm and quiet manner and of course his solid style on the sharp end which inspired me to push myself harder when climbing with him. The highlight of our days climbing together in Squamish was putting up Poltergeist on the beautiful crag that watches over Browning Lake at Murrin park.
So very sad how things turned out for him.
Peace to you bro ...

I don't know why people have to slag the hip belay. Outstanding flexability for starters. What other type of belay lets you haul in so much slack, if needed?
There's a great Steve Mconnel story out there about Daryl holding some massive fall of Steve's.... only because he could reel in so much rope. I think he would've decked otherwise.
G.F., half a world away, might have a better recollection of that fall...

First year I climbed I caught a 30-foot factor-1 on a hip belay with no damage to hips or hands. Or to the leader who wound up dangling beside me. The fall was completely unexpected and I was pretty much a noob -- recipe for total disaster. And yet the hip belay worked perfectly.
I have no idea why it has been written off as some kind of unsafe leftover from climbing's dark ages.

But not you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can tell just by Mikes hair doo
I have also practiced the hip belay, although not as much as luke. :) I forgot my atc at the crux belay on sparrow thanks to the auto brake and brought Heather up on the 10a crux hip belay style. She wasn't too impressed but I thought I could have held her fall.
Thanks BK. Guess my lack of haircut says alot about my opinion of "society" in general :)
I would like to hear the tale of Mike T, if it does not hurt too much in the telling.
I found out one of my early musical influences died today. Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys.
RIP MCA!

Sounds terrifying, 80's parties are so 90's.

Ya I know Bruce, it's pretty weak but who gives a crap. Jangling cowbells is all I got, and maybe some old punk shirt. Screw spending $.

A little bit of thought gives me the feeling that if a lot of dudes were there in stained lycra tights, any guy wearing a rugby shirt and white painters' pants would probably have his pick of the single women there.
