lots more chalk build up when it dont rain for 3 weeks? personally i believe chalk is aid which is why i use it at every opportunity. also i like to chalk up off route useless sucker holds on hard routes, or throw my chalkball randomly at certain boulders, in order to fool other people.

maybe they can throw her in prison with the other "bad americans" like craig leubben and armando menocal who went climbing in cuba. and they could put jesse jackson in there too - didn't he hug yasser arafat once or something? in fact why not just open a special prisdon for nutty leftists and imprison them BEFORE they even do something silly to prevent them from embarassing your country. they could do something productive then, like make Omega Pacific carabiners.

you can't fool me there is no devils range your TR is a pathetic attempt to lure USA based climbers to a hole in the map with vegetated, loose rock, constant rainfall, constant rockfall and huge grizzly bears! American climbers please do not fall for Jordop's cruel trick. This is NOT some secret area you aren't supposed to know about !!!!

you can see references to "moving together" while roped (incl. guides shortroping and more simulclimbing like techniques" in lots of European and British mountaineering narratives dating back to the 1930's. Not to mention Canadians in the Rockies where the Euro guides predominated early in the 20th century. Then again I heard that Washington climbers did not know how to jam, and liebacked everything, until someone went to California and brought back this amazing new technique in the early 1960's????

i have seen a certain guidebook author copying out information from a certain publication (another guidebook) he was too cheap to buy, onto a set of mcdonalds napkins (too cheap to buy note paper when napkins are free) in the book department at MEC. or look at the latest ELAHO Bugaboo guidebook where a few drawn topos appear which look VERY SIMILAR to topos from the old Bensen Green guide with a few minor changes !!! or check out Smoot guidebooks which are SHAMELESSLY PLAGIARIZED from every other source imaginable -
shit, i missed it!! FWIW Fred Beckey and co had a barbeque on the FA of Squamish Buttress way back in '59. They were roasting horsecock for lunch. The fire got out of hand and started a small forest fire which burned for a few hours.

the jug slab central routes (stepladder and moominland) were first semi-cleaned and soloed by me and dave vocadlo. glenn payan and jeff thomson later fully cleaned & bolted them & the two 5.6s with our permission to turn the whole jug slab into a beginning leader's crag. so that's what up with all the bolts. the only fully bolted 5.6 routes at squamish IIRC. snoboy's 5.11 project below jug slab is also fun. bring your own hangers if you plan on poaching it
