Isn't anybody going to mention twisted panties or knickers here?

C'mon Off White, the gun did not shoot the guy, the cat did!

Cat shoots owner with 9mm Will this end up being a thread mostly about stupid gun owners or cats?

Any of you ever had a girlfriend/boyfriend who you just didn't click with anymore? Though you didn't really like hanging around with her/him anymore, you surely didn't mind when she/he came over to your place and performed sexual favors, so you didn't totally tell them to take off, cause if like, the milk's free... and hell sometimes she/he was good to have on your arm at parties to show off. Old burnt-out flame = climbers uninterested, but happy to take the sex person = REI Those whining about the past, should know that you, "can't go home again." It's over. If you're happy with the current relationship, great. If not, maybe it would be better if you moved on.

Klenke that's GREAT!!! In a related note, yesterday I was putting together this office chair and the use instructions said "Do not place borning cigarettes on chair." Oh man! Doesn't that just crack you up!? ROTFL! I just spit my milkshake on the computer screen Ahem

How about the anchors at the base and top of Japanese Gardens p3 and Klaus Von Bulow? These anchors protect both climbs. I went over to check out Klaus Von Bulow a couple years back and the anchors at the base were not confidence inspiring, and couple that with the fact that KVB appears to start out rather thin with thin protection, we left. I'd assume the top anchors are in no better condition. Seems like I read on here a while back (found it) about Jap Gardens p3 being really nice before it descended back to munge. It looks like you might be able to get over to the top anchors via climbing something in the Shield area. Then rapping over. If someone replaces those anchors, I'd try to get over there and spend some time scrubbing.

Anybody wanna climb something today (Sno Pass, Index , ???) I'll be checking this board in about 30-45 minutes (then I'm leaving) PM me if you're up for something. Chuck

Is peak-bagging climbing?

Is this sort of like this ?

I liked the story. Far from being on a high horse, to mthe story read somewhat self-deprecating. That is, Pope made Dwayner sound pompous. He poked fun at him with the scribbling out the power-bar logo bit. Since Pope's usually working hard to defend Dwayner here, I considered this story being a bit humble, compromising, whatever.

H.P. Lovecraft "The Beast in the Cave"

There were a few stories on the news right after the tsunami about that area in Iran hit by the huge earthquake. People were still living in tent cities funded by the red crescent, but aid monies were drying up because it wasn't current news anymore. Coming back from devastation like that is a long-term process.

Most of these guys are even listed in the official casualty figures. PI story about returning guard units Must be some sort of hotlink denying issue. Just try cutting and pasting this URL: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/214804_ephratafolo07.html There, all fixed now. Either link works now. ?

Or AlpineK and krew

I mean the top of the top pitch (p5?) of 10%. There is a 5.9 slab up there with two bolts. Both are 1/4"ers or smaller (?). The first one (the important one in terms of protecting more probable fall) is pretty rusty. The other one is small but not rusty. The anchor at the top of the pitch has one big bolt and one buttonhead. Are buttonheads basically suspect and replacement candidates? If so, there are two buttonheads on Terminator (a short sorta-fun climb between Winky Dink and the Shield), one of which could see a pretty good whipper on it. Also the top anchor (which this climb shares with another dinky climb) is three buttonheads.

That Purell hand-santizer and various copies are mostly rubbing alcohol. If those are poison, there's some serious poisoning going on! Rubbing acetone or xylene or ... [CBS please add to this list ] all over your hands would probably be bad.

Iran and DPRK can wait. We needed to take out Iraq first. They were the true danger. Mushroom clouds!!

How does getting arrested help fund a climbing trip?

With respect to that bolt of City Park p2 (the pitch between Godzilla and Slow Children), you can get a good nut in, in a much better place than that bolt is. You can even double up with more tiny wires. The only thing that bolt is really good for is for a foothold for those who can't make that first hard move. Though that bolt is sorta small, it is surely good enough for a body-weight foothold. I'd say just leave that one alone, or even pull it and patch the hole. Or if you really want to stir up a hornet's nest, pull it and place a new bolt up higher in a place that actually makes sense for pro. There's another bolt on that pitch that was replaced just a few years ago. Bomber. I don't remember any bolts on Slow Children, except at the belays.

Top pitch of 10% could use stand some bolts replaced last time I checked (2 years ago). In case you aren't trying to start a flame war, a better term would be "bolt replacement" (there is still probably time to edit the title of your post). But if you want a lot of views for this thread, your current title will probably do the job!
