OK since this is a serious thread now: a bolt kit is dead weight in the alpine. You might as well leave it at home or just take it when you go cragging.

Before Christmas it was so suck. It only got cold at Christmas. Pretty much everything good and worth doing has only come in in the last week. Going up to Lillooet to climb the Rambles, Marble Canyon, and Oregon Jack, is so

And how much tax did they actually pay? Probably none

correct spelling is "apothecary" by the way, you can use arsenic to kill syphilis. the dose fatal to the syph is not fatal to human.

i can't believe the time for solar slab was even reported, a friend and i free soloed it via ss gully in one hour and change, 7 or 8 years ago, i bet locals can run up it in 20 minutes or so...
