whew, i was worried there for a minute.

But how many of the six are alive and climbing? 4 maybe? or do you think messner doesn't count because he's stopped climbing

Think of all the camels that won't be inseminated now.

if you bring 140 lbs. to attach to me so i'll weigh 300!

And did it make your boobs grow?

how about getting some 300lb slob to practice aiding bolt to bolt on chain reaction just before rumr sets off for the redpoint one fine autumn weekend? any takers?

Or George Bush, and everyone figured you were this moron from Texas

what's worse is when you google someone who isn't famous and all you can find is the famous person with their name... the famous 15 minutes of fame is quickly eing replaced by "15 pages of Google links"

one of six...

King Tut gets into it now...everything is connected in Spray.

Or whether Tex will stuff and mount one anytime soon.

I didn't really think of that DFA, but if someone else at the crag sees a bolt with smashed threads they might think it was damaged and be reluctant to use it too.

Hey wait, this bank of yours is in Nigeria!

The crag is just north of Straiton. The climbing is kida fun, little bit dirty and overgrown but nothing that a re-scrub and some more traffic wouldn't clean up. There are ~7 routes in the 5.7 to 5.10 range, all about 20m high and ranging from steep slab through wide crack to vertical face. The rock is granite shot through with basalt dykes. This is the Sumas Mtn on the BC side of the border not the one in WA.

Yeah, like cereals. Cracks me up. hey now if that cereal is full of soy and xeno-estrogens it might act like that chewing gum that makes your breasts bigger.

I am thinking of doing some hanger replacement at a local Fraser Valley crag on Sumas Mountain. Of about 15 bolts placed at this cliff (mostly in the 1990s), about 5 still have hangers, 1 has been chopped, and 9 have had hangers stolen. The options as I see it are: 1) replace hangers on bolt studs 1A: use good quality hangers, like Fixe hangers. this will probably result in hangers being stolen again. So: 1B: use poorer quality hangers. I have a few dozen old SMC hangers which I could use. This will be cheaper on my pocketbook (I think I paid $5 for all of them combined) and the SMC hanger is not necessarily as desirable as a brand new $3 hanger from the climbing store. OTOH it means the climbs will be rebolted with old skool hangers, which are probably only rated to 15 kn or so instead of the modern standard of 40 kn for a thick Fixe hanger. 1C: i could use caulk or glue to ensure the hangers stay fastened on. but, i have heard that this promotes corrosion by trapping moisture in the bolt hole where it attacks the bolt invisibly. 2: I could rebolt the whole crag with glue-in ring bolts or Petzl Coeur longlifes which it is hard to steal hangers from. this won't prevent chopping though. 3: I could just foget about it and do what I have been doing, which is bring my own hangers with me, and remove them when I leave. So what is the best option?

you must have missed the testimony of the witnesses who said they pulled on gear through all the cruxes.

Nobody passed on this climb either. Some eerie parallels!!
