"I didn't eat CORN last night?"

little bit of red flaging tape stuck in the crack at the bottom on a wirebrush or something and removed when climb has been redpointed is the most common method.

snug fitting = it aint gonna be july 1 - that is a holiday and i will be out sending... also there are a couple more of those mysterious gaps coming up....

first come first served is fine if its a clean splitter in an obvious area but lets say i go out and find some nice crack that in obvious squamish style is full of dirt and moss and it takes me 4 8-hour days over 2 weekends to scrub the thing clean. then when i come back on the 5th day, 3rd weekend by now, for the send some asshole says "snooze ya lose i just climbed this crack".... um no. i put in the effort of investing time to clean it, you didn't. i get to make the first ascent within a length of time proportional to the investment of effort. offenders to this rule will discover what it feels like to have your colon wire brushed with your own head.

ok there seem to be a lot of gullible people out there who do not realize this is a list of vertical, devils' club infested talus heaps! stop pm'ing me with requests for details on these "secret classics"

dude, i can't ski either but for gentle open terrain like the sulphide they are way better than slowshoes.

shouldn't you be heading up to lillooet again soon? bartender michelle is probably going stircrazy right about now.

ive found some balloons in pretty odd places recently and also - twice - chunks of mysterious silver "hair" on glaciers. It's some type of synthetic fiber like asbestos or fiberglass?

postholing? have you considered skis? this miraculous new invention makes postholing a thing of the past...

I'm pretty sure there were Germans who knew that what they were doing was wrong and that their glorious leader was a psychopathic fuckwit too. Like my Uncle who was drafted at 16 and sent to the Russian front. What a choice. Serve an evil dictator and get killed, or surrender to an evil dictator and get killed.

given this recently completed snaffle study it may become easier than you think to obtain a monogamous mate...

i think mike's latest signature about trying and failing is singularly appropriate to this thread.

why do you think they call it "animal husbandry"

yes but if the "friend" is breathing she could get most of the single guys on this site. Breathing and has nice cans. C'mon, there ARE standards after all. Or regularly shearable in the winter. you shear sheep in the late spring... not the winter. you might end up with a frostbitten ewe if you sheared ewe in the winter!

i don't think that hiking up some volcano can count as bad rock. i'm talking climbing, like belays and comical attempts to find pro. scree fields are a whole other category.

if you dont like my firewall then don't come around

but those climbs are crowded, polished, greasy and wet whereas on the climbs i listed ou will enjoy great climbing without the tedium of passing other parties. i forgot koyaanisqatsi though.

i'm not going to be anywhere near a computer at 4:20 today

chossiest crag ever: vantage. don't mind occasional loose holds but when they are unpredictably loose, whole bolts come off with the rocks, and the entire column is unstable i do not like it. chossiest rock climb: some pitches of cayoosh wall were quite bad, rotten schist. i was very worried the ropes would be cut just from their movement as they followed me up the climb chossiest "rock": volcanic debris on the north side of plinth peak. but hey when you can cut a bollard in rock with your gloved hand you can just pretend it is a solid type of snow. however when chunks of snow hit the belayer they usually don't result in cracked helmets and broken cameras.

what is the worst rock you have ever climbed on? why was it the worst? compare and contrast it to other areas of bad rock you have experienced.

let's all mount a sneak spray attack on rc.com. they'll never know what hit them. the topic will be "New V17 in Secret Washington Spot." posting begins at 4:20 PM today so register your avatars ahead of time. after they ban us all we can all log on to supertopo.com and post about the boot flake falling off.

ok... mike is correct spray is slow and boring today where are all the threads like this one? http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?t=89572 it's really sad one has to go to britain to find good spray today. is it the sunny weather or post-pube club hangovers?
