What's the fastest route to the BC desert from Seattle? I've always gone 2 to 97 north, but I remember someone offering up an alternate route that shaved time off. Couldn't find it with my lame search skills.
Thanks.

Access Fund Condemns Delicate Arch, UT Climb
A recent ascent of Delicate Arch in Utah’s Arches National Park has fueled a firestorm of media coverage and interest from federal land managers, politicians and the climbing community. See Park tweaks rules after Delicate Arch climb in the May 10 edition of the SALT LAKE TRIBUNE (http://www.sltrib.com/ci_3804296). Many individuals—both climbers and non-climbers—have expressed outrage at this event, and the climb has received both statewide and national media attention.
The Access Fund does not condone the climb of Delicate Arch and the actions of this individual are not representative of the climbing community.
The Access Fund supports justifiable climbing restrictions which protect natural and cultural resources and works towards effective and reasonable climbing management policies is cooperation with land managers and the greater climbing community. This process of discussion limits unnecessary restrictions, results in climbing management policies based on mutual agreement, and helps to ensure cooperation and effective enforcement of climbing policies.
We trust the public will understand that the actions of one person should not condemn the larger community of climbers who are equally appalled by this event. The Access Fund urges all climbers to recognize and limit the impacts of their climbing practices on the environment and other users of the land and to respect existing closures. If questionable restrictions arise, climbing advocacy efforts opposing such unreasonable restrictions should follow proper administrative procedures.
Climbers pride ourselves on respect for the environment and the Access Fund’s stewardship efforts around the country speak directly to the greater climbing public taking responsibility for climbing resources.

"Celebrities" should be held to a high standard because of their visibility. Potter apparently wants the benefits that come with being a sponsored climber, but chooses to disdain the responsibility that this position carries with it.
Skoog's point about "optics" is the key one in this case, to me, regardless of who might have heard what about previous ascents....
Regarding public perception and impact- email from a friend this AM on the topic - not public land, but a similar potential result.
Seriously, it's not overblown at all. There was agorgeous road bicycle race through abandoned mining
towns in east-central Arizona that had a national
reputation. One of the professional riders stopped for
a nature break in town in front of someone's lawn, and
the town hasn't issued a permit for the event since.
And there wasn't even the illusion of accomplishing
something in the sport...it's just the myopic
mentality that comes with that level of dedication;
the big picture gets lost.

Perhaps it's the internet lynch mob that disgusts me most - the people who lust to "yank his sponsorship" and who do little positive for the climbing community to support access.
Well said, so I just dropped an email to Access Fund requesting that they state their opinion regarding climbers breaking regs on public lands.
Oh yeah, I threw "Yank his sponsorship!" grenades at Patagucci and FiveTen, too. I'm not that enlightened.

Libertarian Cato Institute slams Bush's Constitutional record
From the summary:
Unfortunately, far from defending the Constitution, President Bush has repeatedly sought to strip out the limits the document places on federal power. In its official legal briefs and public actions, the Bush administration has advanced a view of federal power that is astonishingly broad, a view that includes* a federal government empowered to regulate core political speech—and restrict it greatly when it counts the most: in the days before a federal election;
* a president who cannot be restrained, through validly enacted statutes, from pursuing any tactic he believes to be effective in the war on terror;
* a president who has the inherent constitutional authority to designate American citizens suspected of terrorist activity as "enemy combatants," strip them of any constitutional protection, and lock them up without charges for the duration of the war on terror— in other words, perhaps forever; and
* a federal government with the power to supervise virtually every aspect of American life, from kindergarten, to marriage, to the grave.
President Bush's constitutional vision is, in short, sharply at odds with the text, history, and structure of our Constitution, which authorizes a government of limited powers.

I'm typing away from my mother's womb as we speak. It's a bit uncomfortable for her and all, but with the wireless and her Scientology training, she is bearing it in silence.

Ask an anonymous question, get a question to answer in return.
Asked a couple of pointless questions (why does my cat attack the corner of a room?), answered a couple in return (should I make zombie music video?).
'Pop!' a new question.
