I should assume your kidding, right? What an ignorant statement, f#@kin stereotypes. Some of us are out there on a single stick snowshoeing up with AT skiers and tele skiers, earning our turns. BC snowboarding isn't easy. Sure don't see people "lappin" me when I'm out there, as a matter of fact I don't normally see anyone at all. Of course if you spend all your time around gaperville...

Darryl's shelf support tool may work great but a standard $4 wall board saw works fine. The teeth pull out the dirt and cut any root tangles that you will encounter. A butter knife works but not as well. Fred Meyer sells stiff bristled brushes for $2.80 that seem to last longer than most. Don't waste money on the fancy plastic handled type, they do not work any better. A masons brush will help eliminate the loose dirt. Happy scrubbin. Oh, and don't forget lotsa

The Clash/First Light at The Public Hall in Cleveland 1981. (54 Grateful Dead shows; quit after the first 10 or so.)

uh,huh

Just curious, why all the negativity about the 03' 4-runner? Yeah it may not look as cool as the older models but has the performance been compromised? I doubt it. I have a 94' with 150k and have loved it. I was gonna trade it in for an 03' but like many, don't love the body style. I think I'll wait to see what the 04' looks like. Any comments about the Sequoia?

Far more likely that no one here has been on it. Awful far to go for such a "small" formatiom particularly when there is sooo much else to do in the area. Near by Boola Boola Buttress reportedly has outstanding stone.

But is Classic Crack 5.8 or 5.9?!?

"Rumor" has it the grade has been switched accordingly.

me too. What about the trundling goats?

Chuck- although Edge of Space was put up on rappel, it's hardly a sport route. Expect BIG falls if you come off, probably not life threatening. Clarification: I have no idea if the "rap" route was established for that purpose, but it could work.

Arrrgh! SCW is perfect in it's present state. As Darrin pointed out, the rap route already exists if you really must avoid the easy walk off. (why???)

Kevin- I told you it was a sandbag.

Easy, grovelling.

Well said.

Brewery is history.

Sure hope that 24 hour thing is true, the little bitch that I yanked off my forearm has left me with a 2cm circle of deep red, no white center though. I have been bitten many times in the past but this is the first time I have had the red circle. Bastard!

So true about the posers! Better service at the bar. Mexican is decent but spendy. Try the Renaissance for brkfast. Thanks.

I must admit, I'm not much of a breakfast guy. At that time of day a seems much more appealing than food. However, Uli's still sucks. The portions are small and the prices are high. Taco night is a joke. Bunch of slimy wanna-be hippies always stinkin up the place. Besides "Tony" K. is always there and who wants to listen to his "5.11c this... blah blah. 5.12 that... blah blah.", absolute b.s. I'll be belly-up to the bar at Gustav's drinkin a Rogue Yellow Snow and wolfin down a Gustav Burger for $6.95. Mmm mmm good! I know nothing about fancy brand name tech clothing for cragging. Aren't Carhartt's like $40-$50 a pair? Yipes! I'll stick to the cheap Old Navy close outs for $15-$20.

Tim- Bring your wire brush for Raft Rock-You'll need it. Although I certainly haven't led Mastadon Roof I am confident a #5 is not required. Fleblebleb- A burger at Gustav's is only $10 if you include a pint. Where can you get a better/cheaper burger in town? Uli's? sucks, Duck Boys? Yipes! There are no tick free crags in L-town.

I did the route the day the road opened in 98 (early April). It was in the 20's and there was a short stretch of water ice (50') high on the route where it bottle necks down. The rest of it was good "styrofoam". An outstanding outing in these conditions.

They're all over the Tumwater and the Icicle. I was at Clem's Holler.

Little bastards! Just ripped the first one of the season off my forearm. Musta hitched a ride from the Tumwater.

It is Prussik. It is a "new" route.

So an example of such a condition would be an old water well that had a bad cover over it that someone could step on and fall through. A large loose boulder wouldn't qualify because it was natural. To my understanding that would be correct. It would also apply to fixed installations (bolts, pins, chains, etc.) that the landowner knew were faulty.
