I taught her a craft of two myself. Is it now possible to join Moss and Slosh? I cant join either and I am an alleged moderator. I am abouth to enter my 40s .uhg

gotta go with the big picture veiw that Dwayner spilled with this possibly being some law type model for insurance or park-service policies outline. It does possibly put more regulations etc with a sport that provides near true freedom from the too regulated routines we are in.. But , take what you agree with and pass it on ? We are still gonna send the tooths in pure style, but maybe not step in someones shit as often?

Are most of the Oregonians posting an some other site? I dont see much in this section lately. Maybe you all have a life?

Fng nice work Micheal! Was it on a website?

Sorry, Its a manifest of conduct, a code if you will. I just saw it in the new American Alpine Journal. With all the crap you hear about with problems related to climbing, it was found necessary to write some unwritten rules down for conduct surrounding the climbing envirornment etc. It is brilliant by my accounts and I will hope you all read it and agree?

I havent finished reading it but it looks like JUST what we unrulies need. We all need to read it and live by it. They put alot of thought into it! Good job guys!

Aug 26th / Erden Return Party.? A BBQ is something to think about for the return party. It was brought up on the pub-club thread for this tuesday. I am strong-arming it to possibly lower Carkeek park? Whatever we do lets decide soon!

Werd-Kurt. I can only hope Mother-N can fix this sizzle before we pay in the billions of people. It doesnt seem like we will.

I am convinced there is a shortcut to the base of the route as well. May take a recon day or not but the approach and " Descent" is epic-long. Lane the direct chimney finish was done on the 1st ascent.

No prob Bill , I dont see how you thought I may have been upset by our email exchange. I thought it was a funny coincidence she worked for you! And I totally knew you were joking. Imagine the odds of my ex, and one of my first climbing partners meeting 20+ years later?

Next Pub Club is for Erden!! We also need to get him to rope-up and do a show! Get in touch with Beck over that. He could fund-raise for next trip too! . I am very impressed with his effort, I cant imagine ....

Had fun on it myself last weekend and got an even later start from the bivy at the base of east ridge Eldo. The fog wouldnt lift till 6 am am we were nervous about getting out vey late that eve. i was very happy to discover a short cut on the descent route.after you get down to the first notch, you head N.E. to the next notch up and left .you can go straitght to the mcallister glacier and not have to drop way down the base of Dorado at all. 1 rappel involved to reach glacier. I figured it saved an hour+. and 1000' of Elevation re-gain.

They are usually referred to as "Robson Attempts"

We should all go to vertical world and ask where the rappelling course is tonight.

We could auction off trail park passes in the parking lot of the nps, or sell 2x4s at the forrest service parling lot

I have an idea! Every tuesday lets show up at a bar and order drinks . It would be cool though if we had an imagination and nicely freaked out some institution that needed it( not the mteers).

Like any truely worthwile research , you must wade through the crap to appreciate the rare gems of enlightenment.

You cant make mayonaise without breaking a few eggs. Notice I said THOSE bunnieS. A sacrifice was a sad necessity

You are scaring me with how well you seem to know me personally. Just for the record , I did not kill those bunnies!!

Hello I am Here now. I had connection problems but now my addiction is being nurtured again. I wish I had a scanner, I topoed the whole route. The start slabs are awesome. We peed on the tree by placing a bolt at the 1st belay . From there it can only go up an open book that can be stemmed easily at 5.7. The view down the ridge is disheartening( I wanted to bail but my partner insisted on contng)I will say :where the climbing is diff, it is solid, but where it is easy: look out!. The genderms were a push-over( so to speak ) We placed a rap bolt at the top of it. All in all it is a great tour! But beware of the rabbit!

Ya there is a show sep 10 7pm, at second ascent,. I havent gone directly up to the E ridge of Insp.But... The traverse from west mac to Insp. e ridge is very nice it can be done up high or low on the ridge.it allows you to bag w mac too. Ading a couple pitches is nice too.the issue is getting down w ridge of Insp. Some say the glacier is bad right now , but who knows. I found a direct rap that avoids the big shrund. I cant think of a better intro to the spickets. The 3-Mac traverse is quite good too!

........For Erden when he gets into town! Any ideas on eta, place he's headed,etc .Hes somewhere in the Dru-lands of bc . I am stoked for the guy! , let's show this effort was inspirational to us all.

Did you see the goat hair on the 3rd belay ledge. Made me feel gapish.

I insist on keeping my 54k . (slow and painful)I had bearshare for many songs, it wont give up the full lps as easily. It slowed down my slow computer too

How bout calling it the chestbeating board?
