..coaching aint looking too good either....

.. how bad the Mariners pitching is!

So what did you do?

By the way..Arch Rock was fine the last few days

Of I am climbing..not enough tho. I have a FA To Do list the size of my arm (check out the SUPER SECRET CRAG SUB-FORUM) but will try my best to ignore it and just go climbing. Buying kid's harnesses soon.

Wasn't near a scale Monday or Tuesday but so far only 5 little pounds!

Hmmm Ivan I think Easter celebrates something that occurred a few days after death.....

The time between the end of spring training and the end of the World Series.

I just realized we are almost 1/3 of the way thru the season.......

Just in case you missed this little tidbit about jim Erikson on ST:link

He shows 5.9+ getting to the first anchor. First meaning about 40' off the deck. Seems right to me. I don't think I would call that a pitch. Call it what you will, I wouldn't think that rope drag would let you continue above that hanging belay. HUH? I can say I have never stopped there (or pulled the rope thru) despite climbing the route at least 100 times.

Where is Sagg rated 5.9?

EGads you guys. He is leaving at lunch time! I'll be there next weekend and let you know how hot it is. (Should be in the 80s)If it is too hot he could consider Vanishing Point, Manana and P1 of Yin Yang are all fun one pitch climbs on the Shady side. MAybe the Thief near Bridalveil. Moby Dick & Sacherer are good at the base of El Cap.

Will - His hardest gear climb is .11a. In his position I would want to go to where there are plenty of alternatives. Pinky is a great climb but relative isolated. Five and Dime is a great cliff but If I had one morning I would use it as a second choice if he can't get on something at Reeds. The more I think about it Arch rules. Easty Buttress of Cathedral can be really crowded - get an Alpine start.

Perhaps another reason is that Vantage and X38 are extremely over rated.

In general, Yos pitches are longer and more continuous than in WA. (Wa Pass is nothing like Yos) As a general rule you will have to run it out more. Bring a wide range of pieces and do not believe the “Nuts to 3.5” comment on many routes. I usually bring a few large pieces despite notation.

With only one full day I would say forget Snake Dike. I would say if you want quantity and quality go do East Buttress of Middle (the .10 is a bolt ladder) or Central Pillar. Central Pillar is a distinct second choice. Forget Manure Pile Buttress. The East Buttress of El Cap may get water if breezy. Obscure recommendation: The Sermon on Pulpit Rock may not be easy to get to cross the river. I would spend my time esp on day two when you want to leave early at one of the following: Reed’s Pinnacle: Reed Direct .10 Stone Groove .10b Lunatic Fringe .10c Arch Rock: Axis/Blotto 5.10d Gripper .10b Mid Term .10a English Breakfast Crack .10c New Dimensions (easy for .11) Can do the first two pitches and Bail Cookie: Nabisco Wall – Many variations Possible under 5.11 Catchy/Catchy Corner - .10/.10+ Outer Limits 5.10a/b

3 little pounds! Another method Caution maybe too risque for work

..to be vaccinated?

Shhhhh!

For word to get out about the BF somebody broke their word......

Or we do the logical thing and send Weaver to the Aquasox!

Do both! Game's on right now!

OK OLy ... I think we need a spray free MARINERS FORUM I am so sick of hurtful spray wrecking the great vibe of every Mariners thread!
