    While climbing at vantage yesterday, I was in the middle of a short lie-back section, when I heard this strange shrieking sound. I leaned foward to look in the crack and saw a bat next to my hand, exposing his teeth and squeeling at me. I've never down-climbed so fast! Another time on Zebra-zion, I stepped off the belay and headed up the crack- before I could put a peace in, a bird flew out of the crack, right toward my face. Anyone have any varmint/climbing stories? Met the ring-tail on dinner ledge(s face, washington column)?

    Hanger Replacement at Vantage

    I don't believe this was a statement against bolting routes- why were the anchors taken off of george and martha and steel grill? I don't know what this is about. After I replaced the anchors on 3 routes, someone took the slings and rap rings, leaving the brand new hangers I put on there. So is this saying this is neither about scoring hangers or trashing sport routes? Could it be the work of some nut who is mad at the climbing community in general, one who only free solos now (saying no names)? Who knows

    yeah, she's still got that bag- it works pretty nice

    Anyone been following the stock market? Its looks like Amazon.com has seen the last of its burst of success. General Electric and Wall-mart are still good choices, rising slowly but surely. I got the new Abercrombie and Fitch catalog in the mail- I really like their new spring swimsuit line.Anybody get their REI dividend yet? How about the commercials during the superbowl- which was your favorite?

I use this site from time to time to check on ice conditions and route reports, and more than half the messages I see are crap. I think the people on cascade who work on a computer all day long and have nothing better to do should fire up there own chatroom and bullshit to each other. I hear messenger is good for this. I have a slow computer at home 28.8 and it takes me a while to download a page, and then i still have to sift through all the off topic messages to find what I want. I doubt this will affect the "spray" seen on cascade, I just wish people would use this site for it's intended use. For climbers, ABOUT CLIMBING!!!!!!!!!!!

    yeah, I agree with not focusing so much on gear. I took me a while to get past always searching for your next piece- I find I climb better when I focus on the next move- If you're climbing a popular route, the placements will be there.

    For me, it depends on the type of rock I'm on. If I'm climbing granite, it's plug and go- when on basalt or sandstone, I don't fall, the pro is "just in case". I'm actually more nervous about falling on bolted routes (my own mind f&*ck) on a crack, you can put in 2 or 3 pieces before heading through the crux with confidence- on a bolted route, you only have one one chance to keep your dome off the deck ( I know bolts rarely fail, but what if?)

    I just recieved a summons to appear in federal court for not having a Pass at a trailhead in the Cle elum dist. They say i can avoid this if I send them $50- has anyone else experienced this? So much for ignoring the "reminder" left on the windshield. I feel like a serious criminal- watch for me on Amerikas most wanted...... [Wazzup]
