  1. Fries make Americans fat. Charging for fries will increase healthiness. American alpinists might be more on top of their game if they ate less fries.
  2. In fact, they burn natural gas to extract oil. Not oil for oil. Three barrels of natural gas (at $7/barrel) are burned to extract one of oil (at what, $60 a barrel now). Net greenhouse gasses increase, but looked at only due to costs of oil and natural gas, it's a money maker and will continue to be until price of natural gas is raised, either through supply/demand, or better, through carbon tax.

    Pitons

    I know. Half my pin rack is from guys like you.
  4. that's not too harsh at all. eat a bag of dicks, fuckwad. get the real story here: http://www.clubtread.com/sforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20146
  5. monos + granite = drilled pockets
  6. he said a lot of dumb stuff. best one was when he created the m-grades after he rated teriebel traverse WI7 and then jack roberts did the second ascent a few days later and called it 5.10 WI5+.
  7. i don't know. keep watching the temperature. might be warm an ddry enough for the first day of squamish cragging
  8. I think you found a workaround for the screwaround.
  9. it looks like the alders are buried!
  10. This is a CLIMBING SITE DAMMIT! Why aren't you SERIOUS CLIMBERS out making FWAs of the CASCADE JEWELS? Maybe you should hire a "No pay for no climb" uncertified guide?

    The Optimists?

    i wasn't talking to you kevbitch, so sit back and have a nice cup of shut the fuck up.

    Why?

    Your president uses or used cocaine regularly, why aren't you trying to have HIM removed?
  13. You want to talk about disrespect, how about when someone adds ONE BOLT, just one, between two lines, links up the cruxes, and then gives the link-up a whole new name. Eh?

    The Optimists?

    dreamcatcher actually links together parts of two separate aid lines (kloset klimb & rurp riot) with completely new climbing on a sloping handrail. try edumacating yourselfs before you babble, K?
  15. Colin, shouldn't you be asking about the Skagit Valley road to Ross Lake instead
  16. Well I could have gone on about how Joe Brown renamed some aid line to Right Eliminate when he eliminated the aid on gritstone in the 1950's but you have probably never heard of Joe or of gritstone.
  17. "The Great Roof" is just descriptive. Anyway "The Optimist" (get the name right) doesn't even go anywhere near the roof so why call it the Great Roof? And it was a Smith local hardman who bolted it but couldn't free it. And no-one from Oregon has yet been able to free it. Just a California girl and a Canadian guy. WTF Oregon? You aren't representing no more.
  18. You can drive to the end of pavement (at Chilliwack Lake Prov Park day use area.) North end of the lake. Road past that is maybe possible with chains, but heavily rutted from snowmobiles.
  19. You mean new thing, like the way Bridwell and John Long "disrespected" the East Face of Washington Column by renaming it Astroman when they freed it in the 1970's? Yeah right Learn some history, boy.

    It's like those penny trays next to the cash register. Got a piton? Leave a piton. Need a piton? Take a piton.

    The Optimists?

    Spending 20 days on a wall is nothing to brag about when you could have been freeing the same wall in a day if you were a better climber.
  23. G-spotter

    Which first???

    Metric system = mental fluoride.

    The Optimists?

    BTW why are you guys talking as if the Nose is a free climb, when it uses chipped holds (Jardine traverse)? Chipped holds = aid.

    The Optimists?

    Wow, that's a big failure all right. Your bud is better at falling and failing to free than I am. Wow.
