people who use triple exclamations!!! and question marks??? are often mentally ill !!! i bet you didnt know that???!!!

so come to the equinox party kegger in bellingham

9-10km of mostly flat road. up until recently they wewre reluctant to even discuss keys due to backcountry closure

there is something to be said for putting down roots in one place in that it lets one come to know it in a way only those who dwell there for long periods of time can do.

not much burnination happening on a glacier

a hacksaw will saw through the bolt much more easily than messing around with a crowbar - if you dont mind leaving a shiny metal spot flush with the rock.

there is also the casde of long standing rivalries like between a local prominent guidebook author and a local talented climber where the talented climbers routes are consistently misrepresented by the guidebook author due to some 20 year old feud about if one "stole" a free ascent of a project the other one was working on.

Man its really raining right now! Comin down in bucketfuls. I guess that makes it officially fall now even if the equinox is still a week away.

if you don't like the rock you don't have to climb there you could always place 12 equalized RP's and two hand placed (non scarring) pitons and equalize it all with a couple of Screamers like they do on gritstone. i have used the headpointing ethic in the past as a way to avoid placing bolts and i found it was fun, more so than redpointing.

news story

modern small camslike Zerocams will fit in a minimal scar where a pin has been placed only once or twice. i would argue this is less unsightly than bolting a piton crack

brrrr

what part of "American tourist" did you misunderstand

they printed the picture of you toking in the article, eh

news story

rollins since he left black flag has declined significantly. also the dude isscared of vancouver cause nardwuar might try to interview him or something. also he was in johnny mnemnonic but couldnt act. but the title "see a grown man cry -now watch him die" is OK i guess.

i think mts. Heakamie and Jewakwa are visible and you can see the top of Apple River Spire way way off in the distance. its a view SW over lower Homathko river valley towards head of loughborough inlet 100km + away.

due to quantum mechanical effects i have a non-local correlation with many climbing areas
