FA was by a guy named EC Joe who used to work out of Big Foot Mountaineering in Bakersfield. He and Dick Lerversee did a lot FA's in the Kern River area (Needles, Kernville Slabs, Elephant Dome, etc.)

Many years ago a softball-sized rock came off upper Castle while I was in the parking lot and ended up in the middle of the road.

This has got to be one of the stupidest arguments that gets a regular rehashing on this board. Apple vs oranges... Betty vs Veronica... Vaseline vs KY... It's called a "personal preference". Anyway... mattp summed it up pretty good.

Telemarktips.com has a pretty good section on lessons and tips, which includes video. There are also discussion forums that are actually pretty noob friendly.

In other words, Pogrom was feeling escpecially (sic) charitable and nice that day.

That's a pretty embarassing way to die...beat to death by an armless man.

Organized and officially sanctioned, specifically against jews...

Yeah, sure Mark. Whatever...

So, because you were on a scaffold this rant is related to climbing?

Hmmm...

7400 meter in shorts...

Middle school isn't the best time in most peoples lives to try for an understanding of such complex concepts. The brain development in many at that age just doesn't allow for that level of cognitive processing.

A diploma isn't an education...

The first (and last) time I ever climbed at The Feathers, a guy fell from a route next to the one I was just starting and missed kicking me in the head by inches. That whole place is a freakin' zoo.

Jane Wyman was right.

This bird's got a bird... (Nice looking dog, BTW)
