aaaahhh, Granite Point. I actually learned to climb on that small rack a long while ago. Haven't been back in ages. It was fun since it was close to UI, but definitely not a destination.. Also, Hyperspud rocks!!! bought my first set of gear from John when he was still working out of his house. I am glad to see him succeed. He is a great guy.

I was up on Orbit the other week, and some losers thought that that webbing on one of the rap anchors was no good. They did the good thing and cut it. But then they just left the webbing on the ledge . What is up with that? Those metolius anchors rock , and take care of shit like this.

what is the perigee?? the astronomy i took in junior high is no longer in my brain...

Amen brother In addition, all of those groups tend to be annoying as hell, just because there are so damn many of them all in one spot. any group can be bad in my mind, be it a group of friends, or a guided group. I have met morons everywhere, even many pairs and single climbers.

Your house is next...

Motorhead is playing at Northgate Theater this weekend. I have heard great things about Lemmy... but i can't make it this weeked I would not think that he would be one to play Bumbershoot though...

No, it's just ONE screw. And it's not like it undermines the strength of the screw either. Sheeeww, that is good to know just want to make sure they still have their shit together

and how many auto accidents has that caused???

Oh yes, I knew that too. Everyone knows about Lithium perfluorooctane sulfonate.

Take it back. Is BD quality going to shit??

Fish rocks For as low tech their website is, sure got a lot of damn good info, as well as gear!!!

hmmmm, yummy!!!

Well, with a thread this long, I just have to throw my 2 cents in. I think the SUV craze is a bit silly, they suck up gas, some people drive them to feel special or show their status, many of them are ugly (where did the Aztec ever go?). In the end though, is yelling at SUV drivers going to get us anywhere. No. People will do what people do no matter what other people say. People who drive them for status, the meanest thing you can do to them is ignore them and their SUVs. that will generally piss them off. If there is any solution to the gas guzzling, it would be to force the automakers to improve their fuel efficiencies, and I believe some of that is required. The technology is there, so we should be using it. However, why just point at SUVs as horrible. There are so many cars out there that also get poor gas mileage, they may not be as bad as a 13 mpg Durango, but they also suck the gas down. I drive a Saturn, 40 mpg on the freeway, and 35 mpg in town. I think SUVs are generally ugly and impractical for how much they cost, and would never think of buying one. Basically, they are the minivans of the 90's and today,and I would never think of buying a mini-van either. There is no solution to the SUV debate.

you can just see the route almost the entire way by just following the line of missing lichen...

Sounds like the usual case. In a year or so, they will determine that to affect people, kids, babies, or anything by lab rats, one would have to drink a gallon of the stuff a day for three years to cause any problems. Just like the Alar scare in the 80's for Red Delicious apples . Alar caused cancer in lab rats, but ended up requiring people to eat a few tons of apples every year for five years to even have a chance of getting cancer... 60 Minutes cost the apple industry alot of money for publicising that study .

That is a great story But unfortunately when you gotta go, you gotta go. I was up on Vampire on Tahquitz, we just finished the crux, and my partner had a sudden case of the runs. Unfortunately it was a bolt anchor directly above route. He was kind and stuck his ass out to one side as far as he could and let it fly. He was a crazy dude. He finished wiping his ass with his hand, then wiped some crud on the bolts... glad I was already a pitch up from him and not below him. I felt sorry for the climbers the following day. How would you feel after pulling the crux to come up to the belay anchors right next to a streak of shit, and have shit on the bolts as well...

Gotta love what the embedded journalists take pictures of. To me this says, the journalist was bored with the war because everything basically went too easily. So to try to make some actual news, or just get his pictures out on the web, starts taking pictures of midgets and the such.

Today lasted so looooooonnnnggg!!!! aaahh, but now I am outta here!!!!!

Definitely agree with you on this. gg is a great place for the bbq's on these long nights.

you Rock!!! great T/R, glad you made it through all right, even though you found a creative way up.

I am also ready to call it quits today as well. If I did not have so much shit to do, I would be out o' here I hate Monday's

in '04" Bumper sticker I saw last night.. anyone's thoughts? Need to rile this place up a little bit today...
