Benjamin Franklin on why one should choose older women over younger:

classic crack!!! drive to the top and walk downhill to the tr anchor

oh come on nesakwatch granite is more bomber than the bugaboos. you were just off route

i honestly don't think that if the us suddenly announced it was going to treat all prisoners via geneva convention that al-qaeda would stop beheading hostages. but it might go a ways toward reclaiming some moral high ground and swaying other parts of the arab world, or at least europe.

It was smoke. We could see a thick blanket of smoke at about 6000' all thru the Fraser Canyon in the morning then the wind shifted and it all blew back up the canyon to Lillooet.

the whole town of lillooet is on evac alert right now with the flames burning to the top of honeyman falls. i guess there won't be tree belays at the top any more?

i see on the web there (ukclimbing.com) that john gaskins has climbed a new 5.15a, britain's first. it is 6m long and has 2 bolts. basically a bolted boulder problem. how long till someone does a pad ascent? any bets?

Seen south bound in Lynden: "Quality Pre-Owned Ottermobiles" I think an ottermobile looks something like this:

physically, or mentally?

Snaffle Puddin' Take a bunch of snaffles Put em in a sack, one of those old coffee bean sacks will do Put some sugar in there too Mash sack with sledge hammer until contents are mostly liquid. Boil Skim off hair. Chill and serve!

as far as i can tell the only difference between your recommended rack and my huge rack are #3 and #4 camalot, tri cams and rps. you would want the cams for the lower pitches of the line we took, and i had tricams and rps in where you had nothing after your pins on the crux, don... not to just to clarify. i always do end up taking lots of gear though.

7 cm = 2.5 inches more or less it did say in an old feature in On The Edge mag that his ape index was +7... +7 cm. Maybe he shrunk!!!

i only boulder on lichen-free, moss -free fresh rockfall and i drive a mad-max style vehicle powered by methane from pig shit - net carbon addition zero and only eat meat from creatures that have died a natural death and weave my clothes out of my own body hair!!! top that mat-toting earth killers!

oh you could fly by for sevetal days afterwards and it would still look like that.

i seem to recall a good pink tricam after climbing about 3 meters out from the belay at the top of the diagonal crack... and some rp tomfoolery, but no pins. whatever works good to hear the arete goes without bolts

All too often the people i have encountered who have said " I am looking for a mentor" are sketchy to the point of being scary. These people are not just inexperienced so much as dangerously incompetent. Also, they have no concept of the climbing partnership as a two-way relationship. They are looking for an experienced climber to spend time with them with no regard for what the experienced climber will get out of it. These are the people who guides were made for. "The client is trying to kill the guide, the other clients, and himself". After being "mentored" by a succession of more-experienced dangerous incompentents for several years, the climber will become capable of endangering larger groups of people, eg. as a scoutmaster or member of a rural search and rescue team. I have climbed with climbers both way more and way less experienced with me and not once did i ever utter, or have uttered to, the mentor phrase. More than anything else if someone says to you " I am looking for a MENTOR!" that is a signal to get the hell out as soon as possible. For some reason people who get it in their heads that the solution to their problems is to find " a Mentor" are dangerous time bombs who are relatively incapable of becoming decent/safe/experienced climbers. I don't know why this is true, but it is. Forewarned is forearmed.

six days for one roof???

if you don't use a headlamp all caves are on sights or maybe nonsights is the better term did you guys find any evidence of cpt.caveman in your cave?
