Your problem is that you are eating yogurt. Stick with salted hogback and onions. That way everyday you will training to be hard like russian climber before end of cold war.

Bullshit. Before white dudes came here, Tatonka were all over the continent, including southeast. So were the grizzly bears

Stck at desk pnnd down bi stdying so boring sprying hrd no fun

Apparantly they don't care much about liberties you may have taken with various farm animals. That sort of thing must be pretty standard in Canada

Ian, one of these days I'm going to ask you what the fuck your Hillshire Farms auosig is all about. ...not today though.

Sorry about the hassle Carolyn, that sucks!! Border crossings are such a fuckin hassle. I've heard of people getting minor shit expunged from their records, to atleast allow them to cross into Canada, after alot of time, money, and frusteration dealing with Canada's consolate beauracracy. They defeninitly fuck with you more at borders since 9-11. Fuckin Bin-Laden fuckin up our climbing trips!!! What a cocksucker!!!

Bigwalling, I'd be happy to let you know if I am headed to the crag or elsewhere this summer to see if you need a ride. Gotta encourage the propogation of our sport among the youth of today you know

Scooped again bro! http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB1&Number=149158&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

Only about 5,874 times, eh?

NO shit! Mystery solved. I could have sworn Old Man Witherspoon did it. And he would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids!!!!

Ha! Now I don't feel so bad for pocketing Cappelini's keys on the way to do Louise Falls. Atleast we climbed something that day.

Or drink their beer

My stomach hurts just thinking about speed eating. That's just not healthy.

This is an interesting topic. But largely I think its a personal decision, as Alpintom insinuated. Just because there may be more beta available now doesn't mean we have to use it all. I personally like getting beta about the descent and approach, but not so much about the actual climb

This is irrelevant. Because, let's say hypothetically, your partner is Ray Bourbon or even better Mike Adamson.

If you are about to climb a very popular and high quality 5.9 crack at the crag and and a party of two has just finished leading and following the climb (belay at top with walk-off) and the said party yells down that you and your partner can not climb the crack because they "have" the climb and want to top-rope it a bunch of times even though they just climbed it: do you have a "right" to start climbing it anyway despite the other parties objections? Or does the other party have the "right" to claim possession of the climb for as long as they want? Or do you have the "right" to climb it, but shouldn't out of courtesy? Hypothetically, if you were in this position, how would you act?

Must disagee Dru. The Europeans invaded by everyone, respected by noone are the French. But I must digress, we've already had a few threads covering that topic.

Who is this guy? He's got some SICK alpine mixed and ice phots in the gallery. Is he related to Polish Bob or something? Or maybe he is just everyday training to be strongest Polish climber?

Trust me bro, you don't ever, ever want to meet Larry the Tool. Sad thing is all the stories about him are true. Not even embelished a little bit. Last time I had a run in with him, he was so bummed I actually had my permit he told me I was violating federal law by drinking beer at the trailhead and he held me there for 20 minutes while he ran my drivers license through his computer and threatened to take me to jail. Turns out its not even illegal to drink at a trailhead! and he knew it. What a fuck.

I know this has been beat to death, but what about Mountaineer Creek TH being closed so a new bridge can be built for logging trucks. Another example of Forest Circus making the citizen recreator pay more for less, and putting logging interests ahead of everything else.

Not just Fee Demo, but as Erik said certain ranger's aggressive enforcement of it and harrassment of climbers even when they comply with the rules. I'm sure many people here can give first hand accounts. On a related note, cool story in the PI this morning on Bred Frecky!!!

I'm also in the market for an lightweight alpine pack for multi-day climbs. I've been looking at the Wild Things IceSac at 3200 ci, 3lbs 4oz (non stripped) $200. And the BD Ice 50 at 3294, 3lbs 12 oz (non-stripped) for $165. Some bells and whistles are key I think. Like tool tubes, 'poon pouch, and removable sleeping pad. But do you think for two or three day climbs in cold weather a bigger pack is necessary?

Its a complicated situation. Its hard to agree completely with either side. I've only come up with two clear observations: 1) G.B. is not the sharpest tool in the shed 2) America is becoming the American Empire. Which probably isn't a bad thing, as opposed to the world becoming the empire of clutter and disaster.
