Why didn't I think of Spring Mountain. I was here being pissed about the weather. I hear that place is almost worth the drive.

Socks = Aid

Just to add to DFA's comments on Red Rocks-You can also go to the black velvet canyon which is FREE and climb several multipitch .10 sport routes. The grades there are also soft compared to smith so if your a .10a-b leader then you should be able to at least get up .10c's. Last year about this time I was climbing .11a-b sport stuff at smith and went down there and onsighted several .11ds. I just slept in my car in casino parking lots and there's a walmart lot right on your way out of town too.

All this sounds like "Mountaineer" geek talk to me.

.. . .Thus was the beginning of a series of solos for jj which would propel him to the forefront of the climbing world. Perhaps the greatest 5.4 solo'er of our time. Just kidding dude, Nice job, there is nothing more thrilling for me than a nice easy solo in the mountains.

Adventure Pimpz in da Hizouse!!

I thought climbing in the NW had nothing to do with good conditions

Absoutely F'ing nothing. I hope you FRESHIEZ lover's are happy.

Nice pics and congrats. Makes me want to head up there this weekend.

In response to Santa's unfair control of christmas gifts in the last couple of years the Bush administration has decided to act. They have decided that Santa's claim that, "American boys and girls are just plain naughty" is an elaborate cover for a grander scheme. After over 2 years of blockading the north pole from everthing but medical supplies and cookies they have refused to budge. UN inspectors have been repeatedly denied access to sites that are suspected factorys producing toys of mass destruction. Just last week satelite photos show what appear to be truckloads of boxes marked "Army toys" and "RRyder BB Guns". It appears the buildup of arms in the middle-east is only a staging ground for what is sure to be a battle of global impications in the polar desert to the north. Despite the most sophisticated technology the Rumsfeld says they have still not been able to determine the exact whereabouts of the infamous Santa Claus. They suspect he is bein supported by militant christian religious factions. Unverified reports even indicate he has been seen on rooftops across the US in recent days. As for now we can only wait to see what happens.

And my fav- French freeing!

This is a black hole post. It sucks so bad it pulls stars away from other posts.

Sorry to let you down Ian. A pathetically slow 100 mins today. F'n Freshiez Damn Snow. I hate the rain and snow this time of year. I hope we get alot of sun to ice it up soon. Maybe its aid climbing season.

I heard Portland has the highest number of strip clubs per capita of any city in the US. Oregon is one of the few states that allow alcohol to be served where ther are totally nude dancers.

Actually spray doesn't detract but refracts. Scientists conclude that our eyes actually detect light that is refracted from CRT screens. This light that we percieve is what is reflected from the sun and other artificial lights. So, in fact your own spray is bouncing right back at you right now.

did ya get a pic of the spectre?

I'll bet on monday we'll have 50,000 posts in the (Climber's Board)

Nice Observation Yos . . . .but I thought protection was for in the tent?

Thanks for inquiring Headspace, I don't have really anything to add except I'm glad your going to leave the climb boltless. Sounded like a grand adventure

Cats = human parasites Dogs + Humans = symbiotic relationship (or the strange dogboy as seen on in the Natl Enquirer)

I was just pondering what the topic of the longest thread of 2003 will be? Please feel free to add your own suggestions

Stingers, the Koran, and Yellow aliens .11c finger crack Revenge of the Florida Voters! a route with sucker chalk to nowhere
