Erik – For now ignore type of climbing and just think of frequency. You and I must think alike because the follow up was going to be to take the top two or three and set up sub-polls asking what type of climbing the user primarily participated in.

Just an example of the thjnigs people will do when there isn't a GROOVY NEW ROCK CLIMBING FORUM to post to. PP

Minx, can you reveal what route you were on and what challenges you faced?

OK Jens I'll bite show me the calculation showing at least $1,000/year. And I think that man made rocks shouldn't count but go ahead and include them. You still haven't explained the nature of the threat to either 38 or Index. PP

I hear there is a good OW/Squeeze TR near Clem’s Holler in Leavenworth.

Did you ever climb Behind the Eightball? If so spill the beta please PP

Did I miss where the threat was revealed?

I was reading the Alaska Airline magazine on the way from a meeting in CA and noticed that it had an article on Oregon mirco-brews. Terminal Gravity made special mention. Congrats to TG!

Great post JIM!

Actually Dwayner he is named after the ultra groovy band Slap Happy! and your favorite pastime! What rock climbing is (and some CC.com climbers too): It’s:Bouldering (eg Squamish Distal32) It’s Cragging (eg Index, Leavenworth Peter Puget) It’s Sport Climbing (eg Si, Smith, DFA) It’s Slab climbing (Statis Point, Darrington DavidW) It’s Big Wall Climbing (Squamish, Index, Liberty Bell – for training, Lambone,Yos) It’s aid – (various places Bigwalling) It’s free climbing It’s top roping I'd even throw in GYM CLimbing as WELL! As far as Slapphappy maybe if there was a super groovy ROCK CLIMBING FORUM he would share some info!

I am surprised to see RumRs posting -all I can say is doesn't it feel better not being on the dark side.I agree with Mister E about Dwayner but here is a poll: Do you view the ascents by the yosemite masters from let's say 1950 to 1965 with disgust?YesNo

Courtney – I have tried several times to find the webpage on your site with the 6-1-6-1-6-1 pull ups described. Did it ever exist or am I crazy? PP

Is this Dru and Alpinek with their Anti Rope Up? PP

Mr Natural – It is posts like yours that give this site its lame ass wannabe image. It is so arm chair!. Anyone with sense realizes it is more like this: Hanging off that pocket you reach to clip the draw and your body swings out of balance. You look down and see the knife edge arete and think;”I’ve got to make this clip!” Then when you start to pull the rope up to clip the draw and your strength is failing you’re thinking how much you wish you were on some trad crack route where you could just hang on a cam wherever and whenever you wanted. But you hang in there and make the clip and then quickly throw for the “Jug” .Only to find out that the jug isn’t quite as big as DFA led you to believe. Feet swinging you match hands, stabilize and pull thru! The anchors are clipped and a quick lower brings you back to the ground. That evening eating the biggest combination plate the Mexican eatery offers you notice that your arms are still like rubber; you feel like you are King of the World! Then you notice that cute as hell girl across the room and wonder: Is that Muffy or Minx? PP

ERik! You say that with a smart ass attitude! But ole Peter months ago asked the good Dr. for the beta which He then dutifully printed out and reads every time he goes potty! He also adopted the Dr. third person style. PP

Excuses! Excuses! Excuses!

Exactly! That's why everyone should be getting excited about climbing!!!!!! PP
