I said squeal like a pig boay. . . weeeeeee... weeeeeeeeeeeee

Yes, I have heard of people hauling pigs up routes there but mine is scared of heights.

I was thinking of heading to Yosemite this summer and taking a pig with me. I know people have said there are signs posting no dogs in the back country but have heard nothing about pigs. I also know that Yo can get hot in summer. Does anyone know any good place to tie up a say 400lb pig in the shade at the base of the Rostrum. Actually knowledge of any mud pits in the area would be helpful too.
I have also heard there are coyotes at tuolumme and you know oinks can attract those guys. I was just wondering what any of you did to keep the varmits at bay when you went traveling with your pig to natl parks.

I am sure Jeremy will show slides of some epic scary class 2 sections of the trail. IMO there is nothing wrong with selling out though. If you get free stuff but have to say the fat guy at the TNF store is your friend who gives a shit. Everyone who knows you will know your a bad ass.

Silly posters,
Don't you know if your post is more than 3 lines nobody reads it. They see, "So IMO blah blah blah blah bolts blah blah pussy blah blah buttmunch blah blah blah."

A couple of thoughts on this subject come to mind. First in the olden days there was the false notion that women just couldn't handle what men can when it comes to sports. Women were given easier courses and such.
In the past sports and competition were primarily seen as a man's realm. We are seeing the remanants of these stereotypes finally giving away but in some cases they are slower to go. Even now there are less women in sports than men and most women view sports differently than men. Men and women's bodies are different but most of the difference in competition is from these past notions of the daintiness of women. We are becoming more and more equal in competitions but people will still enjoy watching women's sports for their gracefulness and beauty and men's for their power.
As for me I will climb with anyone but a hot girl on the sharp end of the rope is much more pleasant to look at than any guy's ass.

Oh Alicia,
My ex-girlfriend lives in vancouver WA and is always looking for a beginner like herself to go climbing on weekends at Smith or whereever. If you want her email or phone just let me know.

A few thoughts on this 3 page post:1) If you have a chance to take a roadtrip and don't take it you are not a climber. You are an REI buyin, pataguchi kid lookin to impress the girlies but without the true cohones to live the life.
2) There are few female posters here because of the raucous behavior we have seen exhibited on this topic. The truth is we would all be wanting to jump in your harness if we knew you were a little 5.12 crack climbing hottie. In other words ignore our dumbass comments (unless of course your looking for a 20-30 something year old, mediocre climbing, Old English swig'in guys seething with testosterone).
3)Yo rocks and I'll see you all there!

Maybe they'll enlighten me on when to cut the rope to your partner.

I think Rud suffers from glacier envy. Why else would he surf our grand site. I can see why when I was in Oregon they didn't like Californians like Coloradoans hate us Texans.

Hey Rudders,
You should not open your californian infidel mouth about things which you do not know. Now I don't know what kind of climber you are. You could be a .14 cranker or a 5.8 trad guy who looks down upon anyone who clips because obviously you have more skills. Yes, Potrero is about clipping bolts. I personally am not about clipping bolts but I can tell you one thing. In a month or so I will be a strong mother pulling some hard routes at the Creek and yes Yosemite! That's right loser I love trad but I actually felt my fingers while climbing this winter. . .did you fingers go numb or did you even climb at all?
-
I have learned alot from visiting this site. I have learned about moondancing, how to chop bolts, and about smoking out in the hut on Rainier. These have all helped me immensely in furthering my climbing career. This site deserves a five
rating. You are just complaining because you haven't learned the nuances of becoming a fine NW climber. Just sit back, sip a big Lucky Lab Stout, and type in when your feeling arrogant and cocky and you too can one day become a "sprayer" -
I bet Fred drinks white gas!

that's a stupid quote rudder

Sadly Will I did get that route. It shouldn't have been on my all time tick list but it was fun. Spaceboyz, Snot Girlz, Yankee Clipper, and Black Cat Bone are all fun multi-pitch sport routes there at Potrero. Several are more than 10 pitches and all you need is 15 quickdraws. An interesting type of climbing though. Rockfall is a major concern there as I learned.

remember Matt PP:There are climbers and then people who climb. What are you gonna be?
A) Climber: no job, no girlfriend, 10,000 dollars of gear in the back of his nissan, and stoned.
B) Person who climbs: decked out in newest Prana gear, reads R&I on weekend trip to Smith to pull pockets on Heinous cling while his hottie girlfriend belays him with her pink painted grigri.

Since we don't have a section for trip reports and if we did it probably wouldn't have a section for Mexico so .. . .here it is.
While it was precipitating up in the lovely NW I was down at Potrero Chico, Mexico for a month enjoying warm dry weather, Corona's and yes Mr. Strickland even a little mexican swag.
A good time is to be had by all there. I was there for a month and saw not one piece of gear. Yes, I climbed with snotty crankin girls in spagetti stapped tops, pulled off watermelon sized pieces of limestone on myself and others, and enjoyed a nice case of Montezuma's revenge. Yes, we actually had to wait out the middle of the day because it was just too hot to climb. I tell you it's tough being a sport climber. Hauling all those quickdraws maybe 15 minutes up to climb or sometimes even further. Sometimes I just can't take the fear that overcomes me when my feet are at my last bolt. ah the humanity of runouts!!!!
The sites and fun don't end there however! No, No, you can visit nearby Monterrey of 5 million people and no pollution controls. It feels just like your favorite smoky bar complete with choking air and lots of shady looking people at every corner.
I had great time but I hear July and August are the best times to go. Supposed to be no climbers there at that time for some reason. huh go figure. Anyway good to be back in the US even if it is Texas for now.

I have the BD ice pack too. The tubes provide some protection for my high dollar tools from being banged up and scratched. I'm pretty brutal with throwing my stuff around and such.
