I think you're exactly right. Watch the movie Fightclub. Ed Norton's character pegs the formula. its funny you mention fight club. since the talk about rope-up started i've been thinking about it you guys should do fight club out there... just for fun sorry about the thread creep!

test

This route may be in the Beckey guide but I'm at work and don't have it with me... From the belay after the friction slab on the WR you can look down the south face. I noticed a fixed piece w/ sling in a crack not far below the ridge. At the time I thought this was the SF route featured in Selected Climbs. As I remember the route looked clean and free of lichen. Has anyone climbed this route? If so any beta on technical difficulties/quality would be appreciated! As a recap: the route would be approached as for the SF, but continue left beyond the 5.7-8 chimey/crack for the start. Rather than climbing the route all the way to the summit as the SF route does one would meet the WR route at the point where the WR steepens into the summit pyramid, just past the friction slab/traverse.

I got a pair of REI schollers for 100$...they are good pants. boner. dude. did you see the size range... 44-68! who the hell wears 68" waist!?! those sizes are not the waist measurements, probably euro sizing or some such thing.

[/qb] I like to watch the Colorado and Utah climbers navigate slide alder, devil's club, gnarly stream crossings and all the other neat stuff that is special to us Cascade Climbers. [/QB] many of my climbing friends subscribe to this publication, but i think alot of people on this board would not be interested... anyway, just thought i would throw it out there. http://www.packandpaddlemagazine.com/

Will Gadd: 5.9, A2 or M.FH... wonder what the FH stands for

Any other nominations? just lou comes to mind actually i'm wondering if you're just REALLY bored right now b/c this place has been turning people off for as long as i can remeber

Two aliens landed in the West Texas desert near an abandoned gas station. They approached one of the gas pumps, and one of the aliens addressed it, "Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Take us to your leader." The gas pump, of course, didn't respond. The alien repeated the greeting.There was no response. The alien, annoyed by what he perceived to be the gas pump's haughty attitude, drew his ray gun, and said impatiently, "Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. How dare you ignore us in this way! Take us to your leader, or I'll fire!" The other alien shouted to his comrade "No, you don't want to make him mad!" But before he inished his warning, the first alien fired. There was a huge explosion that blew both of them 200 meters into the desert, where they landed in a heap. When they finally regained consciousness, the one who fired turned to the other one and said, "What a ferocious creature. It damn near killed us! How did you know it was so dangerous?" The other alien answered, "If there's one thing I've learned during my travels through the galaxy... any guy who can wrap his dick around himself twice and then stick it in his own ear, is someone you shouldn't mess with!
