Erik whatcha doing this weekend. I am stuck working! So I want to live thru your life. Spill the beans.

I was home schooled

..but on CC.com they are spraymasters making fun of all! PP

Just so you know, Erik has informed me that this kind of spray will have no place in the NEW ROCK CLIMBING FORUM] ! PP

Ban people who don't agree and change the title under your avatar name. Ow - Please change my title to"All Around Good Guy" Thanks! PP Jon - You must be making a mint off of this site if your living large in a Hummmvveeee !

Sphinx and OW you guys ROCK even without a groovy NEW ROCK CLIMBING FORUM ! OW and Erik would be great mods for sure. By the way just what does a mod do? PP

I appreciate your idea Alex but Rome wasn't built in a day! Let's concentrate on the NEW ROCK CLIMBING FORUM before the NEW EMPLOYMENT FORUM.

Isn't his song 21st Century Schizoid Man PP

From Shoreline Mtn Products DMM #2 Range 1.14"-1.7" Friend #2 Range 1.1"-1.7" Link Jon I wish I had your lunch today! PP

Ahhh In summary Dru is agreeing with me. But he is under the mistaken belief I like rope stretchers. Not sure where he got that idea - maybe the smoke is getting to him!

Fern- I know it was a joke that didn't translate well to the internet. But you do seem a bit testy as does Dru! 14 x 150' = 2,100 ft. Is the route at least 2,100? I was just commenting on how the NW has very few long pitch routes (I will admit slabs are the exception) eg Grand Wall lots of shorties. They are not all 50 meter ptiches on freeway either! By the way short pitches arent a bad thing. PP

Erik is correct!

Jon - I believe that Friends Clog Cams and DDM use the same numbering system

14 pitches! They must be shorties. Sadly the only thing shorter than a Squamish pitch is an Index pitch Beckey claims the Lizard route on the GNS is five pitches long! Sounds like a fun route! I may not want to contribute to their brush supply/bolt fund but they at least deserve a beer after all that work.

One advantage to Friends is that Friends, Clog cams and DMM all have the same cam sizes so you can mix and match and not screw up your sizing.

Haven’t read them but Jim Collins (FFA Psycho Roof, FFA Genesis) has written some management books. link PP

That's rigght! Gotta find out if I am Tuff enough!

Only crack I want to send is that OW/Squeeze in the Tumwater! Thumb! Thumb! Thumb!

Splitters? I never thought of splitters when I thought of Index

"If all those yuppies can climb Mount Everest, at 29,000 feet, can't we pay some locals to nab Osama at 14,000 feet?" - Dowd in the NYT It's her critique of the armed forces' failure so far to capture Osama bin Laden. Wouldn't you love to see her in a room with special forces troops, risking their lives right now to protect us? Wouldn't you love to see her tell them that a yuppie could do a better job?

Oddly this weekend I came across a double pack of Godzilla movies costing only $4. I snagged them and as I watched one I couldn’t help but think of you OW. Even goofier when I saw your post I thought about those films even before I saw the Godzilla reference! PP

Leejams – I do not believe I was looking at Silent Running. This route was very close to TS and joined it via a 3(?) bolt traverse. I could be wrong about where it joins TS. Where's Mattp when you need him?!?!?! PP

All the commotion regarding lightweight gear got me a thinkin’. Has anyone seen a comparison between rack weights? For example let’s pick 5 points in time separated by 10 years starting at 1965 and ending at 2003 (ignore the loss of a few years) It would be interesting to estimate the weight of an “average” rack” the made up of the gear available at the different times. I sense a Pub Club experiment here! PP

Total Soul is a fun route but the whole time I was on it I kept wondering about the bolts off to the right. That route looks even better! Has anyone been on it? It joins TS at the top of the 4th pitch. Bad Anchor Warning: The route to the left of the start of TS (on the S Buttress) with a bunch of bolts is super groovy but the anchor sucks! Unless you were replacing it, I wouldn’t climb the route. But the two routes to the left (NW Passage? And ?) were really fun. Esp the right hand route. Their bolts are worth upgrading from 1/4". Not to continue to flog a dead horse but if there was a ROCK CLIMBING FORUM Darrington threads would be all located in one forum. PP

Think of the FWA of Liberty Crack too
