    university wall

    in British Columbia/Canada

    Posted

    are the last 2 pitches on university wall worth it? they look like they are a bit of traversing climbing, with some 4th class thrown in. i would think that it would be easier to just rap the route prior to these pitches? Plus, if I am hauling, the second day I can just leave the pig and rap right back down to it. completing the route is full one thing, but if the pitches are not very good, I would rather rap and do some quality pitches somewhere else.

    Do we need another bastard nation...

    another force-fed disgust

    Do we need another bastard nation...

    aiming at us clinically

    Like an insect-swarm

    towards the shapeless mouth

    of a dead whore

    We need the spirit, the voice, the angel of light

    arising from melted mass

    We need the spirit, the voice, the angel of light

    taking invincible shape

    to standing ovation

    Repossessing night and her hand's godly touch

     

    The unbearable feeling of hitting that

    dark wall is a scene that must come to an end

     

    Eartly decay in front of our eyes

    Now, now it's killing for a living

     

    No more repined bastard nation

    A generous gesture to a people so blind

    No more repined bastard nation

    fumbling, descending, away from the light

    It takes a non-poisoned creature

    to withstand a monster that has grown and spawned,

    a darkness, I can not tolerate

    A darkness we must bury

    Do they feel, do they absorb our pain...

    the search to justify one truth

    Do they feel, do they absorb our pain...

    the greater understanding

     

    It takes a non-poisoned creature

    to defeat and destroy a monster,

    that has grown and spawned

    a darkness, a darkness we can not tolerate

    New Orleans Is Sinking, and I Don't Wanna Swim

    in Spray

    Posted

    why can you never talk bad about a place that has something bad going on? For instance, you can't say New Orleans sucks because someone would get pissed. After 9/11, no one would say anything bad about NY. Now that things are a bit closer to normal, NY haters came back out of hiding.

     

    It may suck to be hit with a hurricane, and I feel sorry for those folks, but I also think the south sucks. Wouldn't want to live there. good people live everywhere and so do assholes. I know plenty of them from Seattle, and all over the US.

    Terri Schiavo Thread

    I did notice that too.. I think the media was trying to show that she was not brain dead, and is a real person and try to get more empathy from the general public, to try to get something else done.... I am glad she has died it is best for her. I am also very sick of hearing about this in the news. But I know that the media will just take the next thing and drive us silly with that too.

    Trango MaxCam

    in The Gear Critic

    Posted

    I played with a prototype about a year ago of both the maxcam and the omega pacific link cam. I think the maxcam has some promise, The prototype was a bit flimsy, but I saw ways that they could beef it up and make it pretty solid. I think the smaller ones will be solid, but I am still a bit hesitant on the larger sizes without acutally holding one.

     

    The link cam is going to go the way of the splitter cams, a cool engineering project that doesn't sell very well. There is just too much going on for it to be reliable and last for 10-20 years like my camalots have...

    REI - The Evil Empire

    in Local Gear Shops

    Posted

    I was frustrated as hell going in to spend my measly dividend this last weekend. they hid the climbing gear in the back, away from the obvious point of sale next to the pinnacle. REI's focus definitely has been on the dollar, and no longer on their roots. I was trying on a harness and they forgot

     

    However, given as frustrated I am with them, I will always go where the big deals are... My REI shopping trips usually include rummaging through the clearance bins... Usually its crap, but sometimes there are some real gems in there.

    Misc Guidebook Questions

    in Rock Climbing Forum

    Posted

    I end up at Vantage, Exit 38, and Exit 32 a few times a year, yet I only have the old Smoot Climbing Washington guidebook, and the even older Vantage pamphlet from 1995. I am thinking about forking over the dough for the real guidebooks, cause I am running out of stuff to climb and know there is a bunch of new climbs out there not covered in my guides. Does anyone know if updated versions are in the works for any of these places. I would rather wait 6 months or a year rather than fork over the dough and still have an 'old' guide, considering I only climb at these places occasionally.

     

    Thanks,

    Peshastin fire

    What's all this going to do to access after the fire subsides. those trails were not that erosion friendly to begin with. Now it will be even worse.

     

    Sorry to hear about your property. Seeing the orchards on fire there too sucks. A few years back my parents lost a few rows of cherry trees in a fire in Dallesport, as well as their windbreak. The fire started by a train next to the the woodchip mill across the Columbia River in The Dalles. The wood chip mill didn't make it, and the fire jumped the river. unbelieveable. Luckily, no one was hurt, and the mill was the only structure burned.
