SC, please come back. You've "died" in vain. Trask did not live up to his promise.

You want information on climbing? You won't get much signal to noise on this page until later in the year when the climbing opens up a bit (hint: it's not the best conditions right now, probably better than Boston though). Try this links pages for a start. many local climbing sites some are not local The Krawarick site has a pretty good "Where to go" section for a general overview. Other sites have jillions of trip reports, or more in depth info on specific areas. The Hengeveld site is my current favorite with some good Squamish stuff. another good links page This site is a pretty good way to get a general overview of the area too. Once you get more familiarized with the places you might be more successful in ferreting out the actual information that gets posted here.

So this has nothing to do with Trask's double dare? I guess we will never know.

Suicide-pact bluff called! Well done SC!!! Just like those Islamic extremists you seem to know and love!!! Well Trask? You gonna stick to your pact? For those of you who didn't read it last night

I am sooooo disappointed that our spraying has not gotten us anywhere. We all had such high hopes! I am hoping that your despondency over the apparent inefficacy of spray will cause you to abandon this avatar whose soul purpose appears to be to create an anonymous shield from which to spray behind.

"Those T-57 tanks are real death traps. We need to save the Iraqi armored divisions from certain death inside these rolling coffins."

That being said, it's too bad that we can't have a political discussion or any discussion in spray without having a bunch of sexual slurs and threats of violence in the place of "I disagree with that ignorant statement for these reasons ..." An open-ended exhange of ideas uses much more of the potential for a BB such as this. Threats and slurs are sorta funny in a soap-opera/reality TV sorta way, but get pretty stale after the 3 continual months of the crap.

I think the reason Allison appears to be singled out for extremely crude abuse is threefold. Maybe I'll think of more before this post is done: 1. It is a function of WHO she antagonizes. She is left-leaning so she antagonizes the right-wingers. The right-wingers on this board have a few extremely crude individuals in their membership. Something tells me that if a woman started antagonizing leftist ideals there would be a few crude lefties who would sink pretty low, though it may not be as prolific since it is somewhat in the lefty creed to "support diversity", and not batter women. 2. Unlike other left-leaning women posters Allison has made it clear (after being beat on a while) that her attackers are not getting any. Thus her attackers pull no punches like they would with other female-appearing cc.com personalities. 3. It has to do with perception too. Plenty of male posters are sexually harassed (constant ref's to Trask and bestiality, continual homosexual ref's to just about any male that anyone trades like 3 posts with). It strikes us, the viewer, more perhaps when the object of abuse is a female.

awwww...thass cute

I thought the Online bolts looked pretty good, with the exception of the anchors at the top of the pitch [ETA: oops looks like JayB already got to these. Right on JayB! ]. I think they're good enough for rapping though. What did you find problematic about the 5.10 pitch? Are you sure you're not talking about American Pie? That top pitch of Offline is what needs to be cleaned up. That succession of belay anchors is ugly.

GG's dead. Long Live GG.

TimL, I believe bolts also in question are below and a bit (climbers) left of the pillar. That is, they are below the start of the 300 foot handcrack.

Just one itty-bitty request...could we have the quick pix box be above the hot deals box?

Two points: If the route is only a rap route (that is, harder than 5.9x to lead) then I sure as hell hope there's no chance of getting a rope hung up on the pull. Could those bolts below the OS splitter (I seen 'em last time I was up there DBer) be used to climb the RPM pitch that leaves from Two-tree Ledge? Has anybody reading climbed that pitch lately? Oh, and of course, point three... the statement that "noone has complained" is patently false. Look up that other thread from last summer that UT linked above, or just check it out since someone revived it for spray value just the other day. Point four, if it really is a rap route, I say . Part of the allure of one's first trip to SCW is the fear the "heinous" walkdown. Point five, if it really was done by the DDD person at about the same time, what gives? Did that guy just get a new drill (at that time) or what? Time to go "improve" some 40-year classics! What ego! Point six, Edge of Space looks cool. Is it really hard? Is it all sport bolted 'n shit, or death-if-you-fall territory or somewhere in between?

They were being polite.

check it out! The wayback machine comes through!

people can't sleep at it while it's still at my place

$25. Wool filled futon and frame that folds up to be a loveseat or a bed. Act fast or it's going to the dump with the FREE couch. Oh yeah, did I mention the FREE couch. Not very visually respectable, but quite serviceable in all other aspects. Long enough for a six-footer to stretch out and sleep on. Will be gone by Wednesday.

Very dingy, but long enough for a 6-footer to stretch out and sleep on. Act soon, or it'll end up in the dump or maybe somewhere up the Middle Fork Sno Road (kidding! I'm kidding ). Also, a queen-size futon (frame and futon) almost free $25. Futon is good quality (wool) but quite heavy. I might just haul it out to Index and turn it into a permanent bouldering pad under that 10c corner at the base of the GNS

Which climbs are you talking about? If you haven't been there in a couple of years, you may find out that your envisioned work has already been completed. That said, there are a couple of pitches up there that could use some bolt replacement that I can think of, Static Cling, 10b extension of Lost Charms, and the two bolts on the start of the Fluorescent Green Crab Traverse

Maybe because they consider that power to be the one that has singlehandedly kept Israel in power?

A+ for spelling Dave!

Just use tape for cracks.
