How about now, must be nice and dry now, anybody driven past recently and had a look?

There is not nearly enough detail in this trip report. Did it have a latice crust, was it bumbleberry, a la mode?

Hey, fun swim-start boulder problems!

Yeah! Did Fern sprain her ankle whilst out hunting cape buffalo?

Chicks dig tall guys. You should put lifts in your climbing shoes.

There is a direct line listed in the yellow update. P3 11+ goes out left then runout at 5.10 past the last 3 bolts. P4 straight up at 11+. I've never been on it, don't know if that makes sense.

Would indeed be a good rainy-day project. I might also give a little scrub to the base of "Armed Conflict Occurring in Tropically Vegetated Arena" while I'm there.

Nice, thanks for the info Fern. although I like the approach through the lovely, mossy cedar forest. Hey, is this one of those crags that has to undergo a name change for PC reasons? Maybe "The Squaw" should now be referred to as "The Indigenous, Same-sex Domestic Partner Wall"

a few more that guys should avoid saying where posiible: 1. Eeyowww that chick is hot. 2. Shhhh, the game is about to start. 3. Move your left foot up, no, not there a little higher, now stem off the right side, palm down, back step, just reach up to it honey, atta girl, now bump up your right foot...

OK, but my chalkbag is seafoam green and my shoes are prussian blue, what colour should my dust mask be?

Went to the gym last night and I’m still coughing chalk out of my lungs. The air was thick with it, the holds were greasy, my clothes are covered in it, and I wasn’t even using any. I’m beginning to suspect that chalk belongs in the category of largely useless gear along with titanium spoons, pink Lexan® bottles and special helmet stickers. I agree it can be useful on sunny days, on particularly tricky moves. But does anyone really notice a vast difference on the odd day that you forget your chalkbag, really?

This is a beautiful thing. I keep coming back here to look at pictures of the Truck Bed Carpet Kit. If only I had a truck...

Maybe these are all moot-points?

Ahoy Booty This weekend on the chief, huge booty, several pieces, bunch of biners, 2 lockers, all on an easy section of an easy route. A mystery indeed. As a thank you to the universe for such bounty, we carried down about a dozen empty water bottles found near the summit. Next time I have to leave a piece I’m going to write a little note, put it in ziplock and attach it to the piece. “Dear booty collector: this route is much harder than we thought, it is dark now and starting to rain we are backing off on this lone piece. It has never been dropped or abused, please enjoy it free from doubt. Yours, cold and hungry climbers."

No, no and maybe the first one is some shade between red and pink, a fushia-point, a raspberry-point, a blush-point--definately blushing and raspberries should be involved.

Hey, you forgot the old standby excuse "I led it last time" and the new and unusual "those pigeons seem really aggressive."

The forcast for the weekend does not look promising. Please complete all incantations, weather dances, small animal sacrifices, spells and hexes required to ensure sun. Thank You

Wait a minute are two things both identical? Or is one just itself while the other is identical to it?

Welcome Fern, nice work on that accursed bit of slab . Lacerated crack hands and unusual bruising should be healed in time to head out next again weekend.

You can get a volume discount through group sales if you're buying in bulk. Bulk is many more than four items, and you have to order up in advance.

You mean you spent a day at the bluffs without sending Frappio Mochaccinopresso?!? (A $5.80 at the Starbucks wall.)

I thought we were talking about sex in the ice climbing threads. You mean those discussions about leashless tools and long vrs. short screws were actually about gear??

English 304: Heathcliffe is from Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre is from Jane Eyre, but these were written by the Brontes (Charlotte and Emily). Someone should name a route Wuthering Heights though, it's an excellent name--not entirely sure what wuthering means, but it's so fun to say!

This all just evidence that girls should be naming more routes, then there would be less slit and jug puns, more poetry and characters from Jane Austen novels. Doing "Mr Darcy" has a nice ring.

Clearly it's a flap jack rabbit
