My brother and I witnessed a recovery there a couple months ago.
Whoa. Aren't you hard core.

Who really gives a flying f*ck?!?
Obviously you don't have a life.

Just a friendly reminder about the fffd! up parking situation at The Bend in Tieton River Canyon. What a nice little buisness they have there making $136 per ticket. Three of us got tagged on that particular day. Huge turn-out that would fit about 100 cars and has signs that are so faded and posted behind a tree no less and only posted on one side. What a joke. Oh yeah its a fishing permit you must purchase.
Nope.
You can park there with a DFW Vehicle Use Permit, which is cheaper than a fishing permit.

Always (except TRing in the gym).
Seen belayers get hit by falling rocks.
Seen lead climbers fall awkwardly and smack their head.
Had folks kick off rocks randomly from above.
Ice chunks are always flying in the wintertime.
Banged my helmeted head on roofs when climbing around them.
Helmets like the Petzl Meteor fit well and weigh little.
I can't waste any more brain cells.

Hi. My penis is this long:

Can I go?

I can honestly say that cascadeclimbers has had a profound impact on my climbing,
I'd say the big turning point occured on the 2nd ascent of The Disappearing Floor route on Mt. Hardy, a climb inspired by Dan and Forrest's TR here on the forum. 50ft out, pulling a 5.10 mantel very much at my limit, onto a ledge which looked more like a litterbox, is the first time I REALLY had to keep it together, and it all started here.
Serious fwappage.

Serious rc.com material. And you think you are superior?

The cut of the OR jacket blows goats.

What's the latest on the unobtanium picks?

the goretex vs softshell opionion must be based off personal experience of severe downfalls of said material. you should really try the new proshell if you get a chance, it really makes up for the pitfalls that brought about the softshell revolution.
Wait till you try an eVent jacket. Rab makes the best. Westcomb blows goats.

Are you retarded, Bill?
Quite the debate skills you've got there. You're standard tactical retort is ad hominem attacks.
No, don't worry. I don't expect an intelligent response.

And if you climb at Tieton, bring a set or two.

Wal-Mart sells an excellent line of track jackets that work just fine. No need to overspend just for the squashed bird logo. Leave that for the poseurs.

Why do you support these multi-millionaires?

As as an 'aspiring' guide, you might consider contacting the local guide services.

A single twin works fine.

Reminds me of when the free climbers were leaving their ropes draped over the route instead of coiling them up at the end of the day.

That's only for sponsored climbers.

Is Rudy not available?

I think you are talking about pitch 5 (5.7 8 bolts, staying left of the bush). We had the same issues as the leader ran the rope almost all the way out without finding the anchor. You've got to commit to making that last tree protected move to the right to see the anchors. We bailed after p6, and rapping p5 left us with only a couple feet of rope at the anchor.
Next party up there should bring a wrench to tighten a few bolts.
