I hope I'm one of the two people, if not, chalk up a third... never met you, don't like you. although, i don't like anyone.

Dude, he's tryin to get his buddy's draws back.

Thanx Szyjakowski, you're damn straight on that.

I don't think Lovin Arms is 5.17Z, 5.11 is far different...

moderator's heavy hand of the **DELETE** button. Whatever.

I thought my question/comment was legitimate, perhaps not worded the most appropriately but legitimate.

Directly across? Rat Dome? Can't really think of a continuous chimney/off width there. Slightly west is Nurse Rock which does have a couple of good offwidths and an "entertaining" 5.7d chimney complete with portable holds, bird dung, and shrubs. Across from Castle Rock is Big Bad Wolf 10b, anyone do it yet? Looks really good. How about The Thumb 5.11 up by Clem's? I know of quite a few wide ones up high in the canyons but the hike vs. climb ratio gets pretty distorted.

Does anyone really think that a short route that is almost completely moderate, but yet has one blank section with a manufactured hold, is gonna be the "testpiece" of future super climbers? There is far more grandiose rock for these future super men/women than is currently being utilized. I'm not a fan of chipping but I do think some of you are making a far bigger deal out of it than it warrants. Although I can't think of an example I can actually see how the end result could be better than if it was left as 30' of 5.10 to one move of 5.17Z to 40' of 5.10.

Um, nice work gents, but Layton, do you ever climb anything "new" that isn't 10b R?

Clue! I was thinking a chat in person...since I was at Dishman and later at dinner in Spokane and most of the folks involved knew I was there Oh yeh, that's clear...tool!

***NEWSFLASH*** Most climbers don't read this crap!

just cause people park there doesn't mean it's ok. The locals who own land in the area (it is privately owned) have asked that climbers not park down there... Read your guide book! it would be a shame if we lost access because of a lazy few.

Hmmm, I guess it's starting to make sense. Clearly I need to get the updated version of the Beckey bible my old one has no photo. He refers to a hollow on the West Face route, I assume this is what you mean. I was only aware of the "giant chockstone" between The Mole and The Duolith not of the other further west. Either way nice work! Sounds like a fun way to extend the already entertaining NF routes.

Or you can drive to the bottom and have your cooler of beer handy. sure if you want to run the risk of ruining access for all... Park on the street and walk the 1 minute downhill! I'm sure you can carry your cooler that far.

playground point 5.0 thru 5.8, all easily topropeable.

Maybe I'm really confused but isn't the large chockstone on the East side of The Mole between it and the Duolith? How did you circumnavigate the whole formation, that west side is STEEP? There are 3 variations I know of on the N face. Two are 5.7/8 and are almost exactly 400' long. The other is perhaps 500' and is a bit harder at 9+ish. Way to get at it!

Szyjakowski- I have not given up, I will go back with appropriate weaponry...

First I flailed and failed then I cracked out the (Bushmills) then I sent! Then the crack petered out and I failed Day 2: retry and failed break out red wine, tried an alternate and failed went for obvious gully and still failed All in all a failure. lesson learned: bring stirrups, more kb's, bolts and whiskey * and damn do I hate goats!

...hangin at some old bat's place talking on her phone and sprayin on her computer aint no job...

Job? when did that bitch get a job? * I feel pretty confident Thrutch's info comes from...

Screw the leg, it's the smoking thats gonna kill ya!

Um yeah, but is it any good?

If it can't be located, it can't be much good...

HeadSpace, go back into hiding and get a job so you can move out of your palace on wheels and start sleeping with somethin other than that mangy ass mutt. You aren't qualified to guess my shizzy!

His low rent, low function look cramps my classy style...
