Hey! That's me! Yesterday! I climbed!

But I did go climbing yesterday! And the day before! Yay!

God I hate this site.

They should make everyone moderators, and teach us all intolerance.

You suck. I hate you. I want to die.

I agree.

Or at least just cut out spray. Who gives a rat's ass about who doesn't have a life. Let's hear about who's contributed most to posts relevant to climbing. 90% of the time I come to this site to entertain myself when I'm bored at work, not for news and information about climbing. For me, it's not a climbing site anyway - it is sometimes, but #1 it's cheap entertainment. Prime example: This thread.

Bra Vo.

Spray Park and Spray Falls are out of Mowich Lake. Spray Park is a large meadow about 3 miles in from the TH at Mowich Lake. Spray Falls spur trail is somewhere around 2 miles (just a guess). The spur trail is less than 1/4 mile long. Scramble a couple hundred feet up beyond the end of it to get to the real views of the falls (like in the pic). To get up to Hessong, there is a scrambler's trail somewhere to the right of Hessong Rock that goes to the saddle on the ridge. Go around the back of Hessong and there is a trail up the back side. It's just a steep walk.

Try this, too.

Spray Park. 6 mi. RT., 1300' gain. Plus you have the option of scrambling Hessong Rock for more views, if you feel up to it. Make sure to catch Spray Falls on the way back - go beyond the end of the little spur trail - just a few hundred more yards up and beyond the end of the trail - for the REAL falls. Nice place.

Okay, I want one!

ZZZZZZ-zzzzzz-ZZZZZZZ-zzzzz-ZZZZZZZZZ...... Another dead-end, boring thread.

Shoot things.

Uh-huh...

Fuck this shit. I'd rather go climbing.

Tom Everett of the Federal Highway Administration's National Bridge Inspection Program said the structurally deficient rating was a "programatic classification rather than an indication of safety." "It does not indicate a bridge is dangerous or that that bridge must be replaced," Okaaaaaayyyy... This bridge isn't unsafe, it's just 'structurally deficient'. Say that just before it collapses.

From CNN: "In 2005, the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Bridge Inventory database concluded the bridge was "structurally deficient." (The whole article is here.)

There's video of it

Love the pics. We were a day behind you guys. Great rock up there.

It's about halfway up the summit pyramid - I'll get a better description from my partner. It was right near the top of a ridge before the route drops one last time before it traverses easily then goes straight up the last pitch or two. I think he scrambled up that ridge a few extra feet to take a couple of pictures, and left it there.

Actually, someone else invited me to do that climb again next month. I might take tham up on that and snoop around for it while I'm up there...

As good an excuse as any. Girth hitch it for pro!
