Smoke Crack and Worship Satan

Let's see the link.

They bought the lot but have not built access to it. Currently the only way you can get to the crags is by trespassing.

They haven't even shot the thing yet.

Imagine if it had HIT Walla Walla. No more onions!

Read on the news that a large meteor hit 90km from Walla Walla overnight, with a sonic boom and explosion visible from British Columbia. Any first hand cc.com witnesses?

How To Question; placing screws on steep ice...
G-spotter replied to rockermike's topic in Ice Climbing Forum
Two guys climb a route. One dogs his way up hanging on every piece and moaning about the pump. One styles it with no hangs,falls or whimpering. Who is the better climber? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to answer this one. -
It's the wise man who knows he's a fool. Not sure about how morons fit in that. Maybe you get halfway wise.

How To Question; placing screws on steep ice...
G-spotter replied to rockermike's topic in Ice Climbing Forum
So if "it's all aid", you think there's no difference between leading a pitch and not hanging or falling, and leading a pitch with a dozen hangs? -
Any recent experience with Safari in Ecuador
G-spotter replied to oldmike's topic in Climber's Board
Damn, with all the mac geeks on here I figured this would have been answered by now. Installing Safari on Ecuador is no easy task. Cross-platform compatibility and all that. Try Linux instead. -
Gee i wonder WHY it hasn't had a second ascent. Some routes don't get 2nd ascents because they are too hard. Some routes don't get 2nds because they aren't worth repeating. And some routes get a ski descent before getting a 2nd ascent, no? Or did the Whistler boys ski Beautiful Nightmare on Plinth before you guys climbed it? The left side of Plinth was skiied 6 months before Fred and I climbed the right side of the face. The two lines are over a kilometer apart at one point, only joining together for the final crux to the summit. Beautiful Nightmare DID get skiied though, 2nd ascent and first ski descent March 31/07.

no, but you have bad style and it is hindering your ability to progress -
do you mean the equation 2 (WOMEN) + 1 (MAN) = TROUBLE ?

UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center Newsletter Volume 6, Number 5 February 2008 Director’s Message Last month I learned from a Mexican diplomat that there is still a Mexican American candidate left in the U.S. presidential primaries: Mitt Romney! Furthermore, Romney is eligible for Mexican citizenship, whereas someone like me (a third-generation Chicano) is not. On January 29, the CSRC, in conjunction with the UCLA Office of the Chancellor, hosted a dinner for Carlos González Gutiérrez, Executive Director of the Institute for Mexicans Abroad at Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Mr. González Gutiérrez, who was on campus for one week as a UC Regents Lecturer, represents a new policy perspective on the part of Mexico toward the Mexican population in the United States. Suffice it to say, in the past Mexico has often been as conflicted about immigrants and immigration as the United States, pitting economic necessity against social and political hostility. Mr. González Gutiérrez has advanced new thinking about Mexico’s relations to the Mexican American population, as evidenced in his fascinating recent article in the Journal of American History, “Fostering Identities: Mexico’s Relations with Its Diaspora.” What most impressed me about Mr. González Gutiérrez is his willingness for honest dialogue that takes into account the best interests of both nations and their various populations. That is a good place to start. So what about Mitt Romney? It turns out his great-grandfather was a polygamous Mormon who evaded prosecution by crossing the border into Mexico with his family, including his son Gaskell, Mitt’s grandfather (see reference). George Wilcken Romney, Mitt’s father, was born in 1907. The Romneys re-entered the United States in 1912, during the Mexican Revolution (although some relatives still live there). In other words, the Romneys violated federal law, and rather than face the music they fled the United States, crossing illegally into another country, where their Mexico-born descendants acquired the rights of citizenship in the host country. Sound familiar? Since the Mexican constitution now allows the children of Mexican citizens to petition for Mexican citizenship, Mitt Romney could become not only the first U.S. president of Mexican descent but also the first U.S. president to be a citizen of another country! I raise this possibility not as a constitutional question, but rather as one about the need for some perspective on immigration. The gander expects something that it denies the goose; but on this issue, they’re both cooked. Chon A. Noriega Director and Professor

I know a couple of people who have done the N Edge. Going up Centre Creek or going over McDonald from Radium Lake are approximately the same time. Centre is bushier and Radium is longer with more up/down.

hanging on a tool is aid, so ethically, it's the same deal as falling off or hanging on a screw - it means you haven't successfully led the climb -
This guy says there's a 1 in 1000 chance they'll take out the ISS by accident with the debris. http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/02/skeptical-about.html
