I think it's more about chasing/worshipping ideology, a particular world-view that enables you to see red as blue (Hi Gary!) and disorder as order.

Gaary! Gaary! More Pictures! More Pictures!

Jeez, he is so condescending! I don't see how you could ask for another one. But he's also very sensitive, and it's often the sensitive who have the most to lose. But tell me, what is this drafing certificate you've been working on? Is this a misprint?

Sounds like we all want to hug Boeing!

Gary Gary Gary. Do not judge all who boulder by the actions of the patrons of Cafe Insensitivosissimososo yo. I think you look splendiferous in blue, like a little bird soaring in the sky, light as a puffy cloud floating care-free and effortless with dreams of all sorts of cool things on its mind. Don't let the schoolyard chickens peck away at those dreams, yo. Stay strong in your blues, ninja-style, like your climbing style. And tell the bullies to stop being such bullies for a change, and see if they can even do it, cuz I don't think they can. Hah.

Dudes, gays have been ostracized and killed through the ages! You still get killed in some countries for being gay. Yeah things have changed in western countries, but just the language that gets used at a climber's(!) site is pretty indicative of a level of discomfort that still exists with the idea of homosexuality. It's a phenomenon that I still find interesting, its history and reasons.

(Because it's more acceptable to be anti-gay than racist.)

I don't know, OW. You seem to skip around his question. I read his question as specifically addressing the admittance of anti-gay rhetoric: Why allow "fag", "homo", or "gay" (in a negative context), which is just as offensive as "*", which isn't allowed?

I think this goes deeper than mere satire. And that's the discomfitting humor in it. Read it as an editorial if you like.

You guys take yourselves wayyyyy too seriously! Rally round the family, with a pocket full of shells.

It does have a certain Tom Tomorrowesque doublespeak quality! Maybe Puget has a future in political satire....

But hey, KBR, Halliburton, Bechtel and associates sure have made a lot of money! (In the name of democracy, of course.)

I think a classroom was built too, but then it got bombed. Oh well.

But Jim, you are overlooking the fact that they have a democracy.

I must agree! How utterly unpatriotic of you to even THINK that Johnny Tuff may have spoken in a way suggesting that this country might be better off if Bush and Cheney were to have been struck by a flying airplane! BTW, does anyone here think this country may have been better off if Bush and Cheney were to have been struck by a flying airplane?

Awesome trip report. Thanks.

If I recall correctly, it felt like 11c to me as a trad lead. I suppose it would feel easier if there were bolts to clip (thankfully it was chopped), although all the placement stances were pretty secure and comfortable.

not the basic premise, but part of it. I actually got quite into this routine, and broke it down into sets, where only on certain sets was I reaching failure. The idea was that the volume of climbing at a fairly hard level would be increased by breaking it into sets, as opposed to just going til failure every time. So I would do maybe 2 3 lap sets, then 2 5 lap sets, 1 7 lap, then 2*5 and 2*3 (obviously lap counts will be tailored for individual needs; it might be 1 lap three times at first). Also rest between sets is implied. I think if one took this approach with any set of moves that require one to work at a level perhaps a number grade or two below their max and really applied themselves for a few weeks at minimum, they would see results.

Oh what steep index climbing do you allude to in its world of slab? Scientifically validated UW rock workout: Location: on the overhanging wall above the slab on the parking lot side. Workout: Start on the low left corner on the large two rocks; climb the traverse up and right to the highest rock and touch the metal bolt (do not grab the top of the wall; use only rocks) and then down-climb back to the start holds with both hands. Do not step off, but climb again, and see how many laps you can do, with up and down being one lap. I think 14 is the record, and a little over 4 with no rocks for feet, just texture. This was my favorite workout there, giving a silly pump.

I'd like to see what the rules were; i can't find any info. And if the rules were working, why did both parties(?) agree to give clinton the line item veto (which he used like 50 or 80 times before it was ruled unconstitutional by a 6-3 vote).

Hey did you know that the first thing you want to do is make your opposition the very personification of evil, so that you no longer need to consider them as humans at all, much less listen to any points they might try to make.

I didn't realize this. So the rules excluded riders altogether?

You don't think forcing through legislation in the form of riders impertinent to the bill itself is bs? As long as there is some safety mechanism in place to avert presidential abuse, I think it's worthy of serious consideration. But is it constitutional?

Clintron was impeached....
