With one of those Cliffhanger hilti bolt guns eh?

Yeah, it's "Roland Pauligk" that is the correct spelling - as in the Pauligk Pillar in Red Rocks. But everyone knows it really means Really Pathetic pro. Back in the day they recommended placing clusters of 5-6 of them so if you lobbed onto them the first four or five would probably break wires or pull but that would absorb enough energy (like a screamer) that the 6th one would stop you.

Oh well back on topic (sigh) what is better for glissading - snow or pumice? Up in the Bridge River-Upper Lillooet area of BC there are some kick-ass 2000' pumice glissades on the "Bridge River Ash" deposits. Check out the new SW BC Alpine Select for locations of some of these secret spots like Athelstan and Vayu. Better than any snow glissades I have ever done although on snow coming off Cheam is pretty fun. Ditto the Australian Couloir on Joffre under the right conditions. and crampons can actually help in some snow conditions......

In this case I would assume Retro would rather they felt like razor blades than dildos?

Isnt WB Walter Bonatti and the apologies, for stealing the FA of a Bonatti Pillar lookalike?

Even more Index trivia - to which of the individualFirst ascencionists' lives outside climbing do the individual words of "School, work, rehab" refer to?

?? Peter, you want to sleep with Capt Caveman??

How about because if you don't book up that climb, you will be overdue for return to the parking lot?

Willis Wall? Thermogenesis? Ice Cliff Glacier?

Retro, new trivia champion, now can you answer PP's original question???

The only time I have that CD on is when I'm trying to drown out your 98 Degrees CD, Capt., at least the VP's were OUT.

Well, move it away from music a bit then, what other world-famous climbing area has a route called Pretty Vacant (hint, routes called Furry Pink and Rock The Casbah are located in the same area)

What did one Deadhead say to the other deadhead when the drugs wore off? "What band is this? They suck!"

The only tick found in these parts on privates were on Pvt. Caveman (demoted from Capt. for slanderous remarks) and Pvt. Idaho??

Oh dear, backcountry, your knowledge of Canuck slang is lacking. Saying one is Pissed is actually the type of genteel expression that old ladies mumble over their gin & tonics. The more manly expression is "Fucking Hammered!" Oh - maybe you didn't understand that I was making a pun or you though that it would be funny to imply you didn't But thanks for the derivation of the term! I will right a letter to the Editors of "Off Piste" magazine informing them of your discovery and telling them I must have been off-piste when I ordered a subscription

what about parties flying in from the campground to classic crack????? or mountaineers causing lineups on girth pillar?? or people soloing routes you are toproping and cutting your ropes and killing your goat?? that wasn't my sister you were on - it was my dog!!! you must have been confused by the dress. i put it on him so boltmonster would think he was a girl, and lose interest.

OOOOHhhhh my head. What a weekend. Hard to work today. Need distraction. How about some new topix for Spray. What do you think of: dogs at the crag top-roping popular routes with a gri-gri, on Liberty Bell, and rap-bolting wilderness that has already been raped with a guidebook? I am generally for it except when I am specifically against it, which is whenever Boltmonster or Capt. Cavedog are for it, or their ugly sisters

Today's music choices: 90's alternative. [so much better than 00's alternative Limp Toolkit, Crazyhouse, etc.]. Peppers, Nirvana, Pumpkins, Neil with Crazy Horse, Screaming Trees, flannel, jeans, unwashed hair, power chords.

1) Early June - only if you like wet rock and mixed snow/moss climbing 2) Nesakwatch road is driveable. 1 hour hike to memorial. 2 hrs from there to base of Bypass Variation. 3) About 16 pitches of 5th plus lots of 3rd/4th. If you simulclimb, doable in a long day. If you pitch out the 3rd/4th you WILL bivy. 4) Plan on dropping into Slesse and biking back around to your car. Leave a bike beforehand. 5) DO NOT!!!! take the Beckey Ramps unless you have a cow that needs fodder: http://bivouac.com/mtn/PhotoPg.asp?rq=PhotoPg&PhotoId=354

Dang, I'm not even on the expedition, but I'm piste too! It's Friday night!!!! Let's all get piste!

Doug, you can use it without permission, but do you think your mom will believe it? Just make sure you wash it before you put it in your mouth, you never know where things you pick up on the web come from

Hmmmm.. I wonder about my rights to avoid paying that stuff, which is all bullshit anyways, as a foreign visitor. Having already acquired a collection of "citations" and "warnings" for not paying the Bivi Site fee at Smith, and sleeping in the wrong sites at Leavenworth without paying, I worry that they're going to start turning me around at the border? The searches are already a bit much. Why can't they have some cute girls in uniforms doing the strip search instead of some failed ex-cop?

it's not degrading if you're doing it willingly. then it's just kinky.

Erik, I understand you may not want your virginity back if someone else bootied it and has been using it all this time, like maybe for hoisting their engine block My family is NOT involved in prostitution rackets. We are too busy with fixing elections and hydroponic cultivation. When I say "Crack ho!" it's because I've seen an unclimbed crack at Squamish. I'm not specifically describing you

Sorry on the ticket E, I am missing his show. Tix should be on ticketmaster. Let me know if you're coming up though.
