Are you sure you're not thinking of the "private VIP room" where the Blue Star sat our group last time? It was a little dreary and not super spacious, but it certainly was an honor to have our own separate room!

Sheeeit! That's like 50 years ago, eh?

Anyone going to PC who has a copy of Beckey's Challenge of the N. Cascades I could borrow for a few days? My copy is currently awol and I need some info in there. PM me.

Yup.

When I saw the subject line I thought... But seriously, I don't think anyone would have a problem with someone upgrading existing old bolts--as long as they do it right.

Last summer there was a fairly heated discussion about the possibility of a rap route on SCW...

Quote from the article: "Saddam, probably accompanied by his demonic sons Uday and Qusay..." A nice example of editorial journalism mixed into a supposedly hard news story...

Kinda looks like the chockstone on the cover of Beckey's "Challenge of the North Cascades" book?

True, true. Do think that was a goal of the administration, or just a side-effect of their determination to invade Iraq?

France became the strawman for the administration for disparaging and discrediting wide-spread worldwide political and popular sentiment against a US invasion of Iraq. Demonizing France (as opposed to Russia or China) was a choice intended to serve many of the same political purposes as demonizing Saddam or Osama: make the argument emotional, patriotic and personal. And let's face it--the French are an easy target. Everyone loves to laugh at--and now hate the whiny, perfidious, self-interested French. I think it worked domestically to rally support for war, because after all, what red blooded American wants to take the side of France?! Especially if then by W's definition since you're not for us, you're against us in the battle between good and evil? But I think the demonization of France backfired badly in the international realm. I think back to a couple months ago, when Rumsefeld was disparaging France "Old Europe, etc." Ultimately, despite our taunting (or maybe because of it), France lead the anti-US insurrection in the UN. And in the end, France basically won the battle for consensus in the UN, and that consensus was not supportive of US plans to invade Iraq.

Hey, don't knock it. This piece has saved my butt twice! If you're climbing a wide crack or OW, they work just as well as a #4 camalot and are 1/3 the weight.
