It's ben 10c in every guide but McLane's latest and it isn't 10d now in reality, just in his odd grading system.

We're talking about at the Pet (which was wet on Saturday BTW) not some crummy Index climb with the same name

even steven is 10c

keep your spray in spray kevbone, and let the grown-ups talk about grown-up things, k?

yeah... i bet you ripped those 5.5's up with your "massive" biceps... There's only one route rated 5.5 in the Bluffs, and there was a lineup for it

Basalt is choss and this is granite Bill. There's a reason the Crooked River flows around Smith... cause it's so much easier to erode the basalt than the tuff.

i climbed some squamish cracks. the bluffs were sunny and dry and best of all there were hardly any Americans around!

if the flake was 1 inch wide and the crack behind it was 6 inches wide, trundling it or bolting next to it might become more attractive, but a 6 inch thick flake of the dimensions you indicate with only a 1-2 inch crack behind it is bomber... (or even a 3-4 inch crack behind it)

By "the first pitch" do you mean The Fault, or the pitch below The Bone?

plus all the extra deaths of bystanders caught in the crossfire!

Tofino is mostly lacking in cragging. The rock is crappy and the hazard of getting swept into the sea by large waves is not to be discounted. There are some semi-protected areas on the back of headlands to scramble around on but I wouldn't bother bringing shoes or a mat. The Mackenzie Range has some good alpine rock in the summer though.

chop the s tail off!

I like to bicep curl pints

lust fix climber to one end of cord attached to dynamo, with sheep at a distance as climber progresses towards sheep, pulling cord, cord rotates drum and generates electricity some of electricity can be used to move sheep further away from climber, resulting in perpetual motion.

You didn't get nominated for that one either, eh?

It is my experience that the majority of energy of most climbers expend is through 1) bullshitting about climbs and grades and 2) arguing about ethics

Damn ty you walked all the way up that descent trail?? That's like doing laps on the Rexford trail.

hey muffy i saw on 8a.nu today that some 50 yr. old Italian woman just climbed her first 13b, "and when she was 40 she could only climb 11d"... you have 5 years before you'll even need to start training and 15 years until the payoff :

your knotches may become unsanitary if not cleaned regularly... peel back hoood and give thorough scrub...

I seem to recall seeing a via ferrata up Half Dome already

How about on the evening of May 8th cause I have comps that morning and will have an exceeding need to get drunk after surviving those.

it's crashing credit card transactions now... this is better than y2k! http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/technology_britain_visa_international
