Come on, does anyone really believe in creationism? ...sobo Then there is the fish with 3 legs and 1 hand holding a wrench and it says EVOLVE inside. And you can get a fish-cum-Deadhead lightning bolt too. But really those are more VW Van accessories than Subarus.

Back to the top. C'mon you punks, hate the mag, spray, yada yada.

Empire State Potholes Direct Direct Tunnel Route. I do that every time I go to Peshastin. Ltng Bolt Crack. Never found the loose hold on 2nd pitch. Boulder traverse below Orchard Rock. I dont like getting sprayed in the spring but I sure like stealing apples in the fall!

Yeah I heard The latest issue of Drinking and Climbing is doing a big feature story / profile on you. Dont you mean the latest issue of Rock and Herb?

WHY NOT decide at Pub Club where to have the next one. Then post it here Wednesday. start a list. whenever anyone suggests a new locale it goes on the bottom of the list. When you have PC at a destination you cross it off the top and write it in at the bottom. Simple?

Ray whupped its ass then peed on it.

You will have to look those up.

I say take the skinies then it is easier to make sure your partner is carrying half the weight on the walk in. Also you will look like a cool PNW alpinist and not some craggin SoCal yokel.

If you weren't there, dont bother commenting. all to easy to second guess the dead based on the view from your armchair.

quote: Originally posted by rayborbon: Gaston Rebuffet or something like that spelling is a well known climber and author. And there is a photo of him climbing a crack with two arms with hands together in front of his face and elbows sticking out to the sides at 90 degrees. So any time you do a move thatrequires pulling outwards like that, you can technically call it a gaston. Like: "No shit there I was on Omega Chub....V13. I started from the sit start with a dyno to a smallow monodoight undercling. Dropping into a radical egyptian, i worked a rose move into an iron cross, knee-scummed into a no-hands rest, heel hooked my ankle in a comfortized pocket, then pimped up with a Triple Sukahara into a strenuous gasaton and double-dynoed for the lip. i thoughT i was gonna send for sure but then I grabbed a slug at the lip and when I tried to mantle on it I greased off. Bummer dood. How will I ever get Ropegun to sponsor me?"

offwidthclimber why not just offer Dan Larson a big bag of weed in return for him taking you guys up. he loves to climb Rainier and would probably jump at the chance to backslide and have a smokey in muir hut.

quote: Originally posted by Wallstein: I did some climbing on the lower part of Icicle creek buttress this last week and noticed some new sporto routes just to the left of the arch route. Does anybody know who put these up and if they have even tried to toprope them. By the looks of it they put the bolts in before they were even attempted on toprope. One of the routes has 5 or 6 bolts and then ends in a short thin overhanging crack filled with thick moss. It doesn't look like the moss has even been touched. Seems a little odd to me. Then there was another route way to the right, like 75 yards. It started with a short finger crack and then ended on a long slab. Weirdest thing though, there are bolts next to the crack. I couldn't understand why so I put a couple pieces on my harness and lead the route. After doing the crack with good pro i still didn't see the need for the bolts. Placing pro probably made it a wee bit harder but still do able. Anybody have any info on these routes? Choppity chop chop? Where is Retrosaurus and Strickland and the 3 foot long love?

Dan See once again a cc.commer is introduced to me by his real name and I dont find out who it is until a week later! Effective immediately I want all you .commers to go out and tape your cc.com name on your helmet so you can be identified in the field. I'm gonna write "Trask" on mine
