  1. CBS- chalk is magnesium carbonate not asbestos. Asbestos is a crystal recognized by its long, thin fibers. They can be found in rock containing serpentine or amphiboles but not magnesium carbonate. The Suspect material you must be thinking of is CHALKBOARDS not chalk.

     

    Sidenote: I am going to the old AAA bldg near Aurora to conduct a Hazardous Building Material Survey; specifically looking for Asbestos Containing Materials...

    yee-haw. lucky I am. now time for beer.

  2. nolsE's first post

    " Marcus Donaldson and I climbed Stuart on July 18th via a new route on the NW face that finished just right of Long John's Tower and then followed the west ridge to the summit. We didn't bump into anyone on route though we did pass two dudes at Goat pass in bivy bags and saw 2 people on the N ridge. Check your pms Iain for my contact info. "

     

     

    seems to me the lawyer is spot-on but, whatever the gals are apparently safe. bigdrink.gif

  3. i am usually very nice to non-climbers or climbers when soliciting me for info or "did you summit" questions. Sometimes I am like any other human in a bad mood, and then I say the_finger.gif off.

     

     

    I do however, think the best and only spokesperson for the climbing world should be Fred Beckey. His resume fits the bill, anyone else is only second rate.

  4. ...over something so trivial as chalk.

     

    Well, that's the difference, I don't think it's trivial -

    Remember this rebuttal is coming from the Dr Flash Amazing the sporto god from SmithRock.

     

     

     

    HEY CBS- you should inhale the chalk dust as it blows your way...as a chemist I would think you like that type of stuff. mushsmile.gifcantfocus.gif

  5. Cleaning a storage box out I found some much unneeded things:

    Who's the idiot. There was never any large raptor living right above Godzilla. I've been up on the 2nd pitch of City Park a couple times this year and I would have noticed a large bird trying to peck my eyes out cause I was so close to her nest. Nobody else notice it either.

     

     

    And furthermore who made you the representitive of country bumpkins? You live in Seattle which isn't the country, and you went to school at WWU which is not some farm college.

     

    You lived in Leavenworth, but all that makes you knoledgeable about is wearing lederhozen and seting up quoint boutiques full of dream catchers.

     

    If you really want to be country why not move to Enumclaw for 10 years and get a job on a farm. I'm sure the horses would find you attractive. yellaf.gif

     

    fuck you feck!

    why do you antagonize and poke most posters on this site?

    yar, you are the idiot, cuz the raptor wasn't living on the ledge above city park (i too have been there a few times without incident) I bet the raptor was living near enough to be disturbed by the Ignorant Behavior of the Janitor of INjustice. Go fuking throw yourself in your treegrinder why don't you.

    to clarify mr fecks drizzle-

    I live in seattle for money.

    Leavenworth and its gay fukin charade can burn down for all I care.

    I do know how to shoot a shotgun, fish and start a fire with flint/steel but, I would rather go rock climbing so In short...whatever.

    BTW- Enumclaw is hardly the country...now Wyoming...that is some good ole territory. wazzup.gif

  7. I stoped using chalk about 4 months ago because I ran out and didnt want to buy more. I found that I can climb anything that I can with chalk just as good as I can without. I think people just get in the habit of dipping when there nervous. Chalks over rated.

    if you do not believe in using chalk to get up shit try, devils lake in Wisc or Fountainbleau or countless other super-climbed out slippery piles.

     

    but I agree, chalk is over-rated and aid and I definitely use it more when nervous.

     

    Craig, if you need chalk go to the central weight-lifting room and fill it up.

  8. That .11 pitch is always wet.

    cappellini, (notcrazy) jamie and I did it a bunch of years ago and it was dry as can be. midget sent from the ground complete with lunge for dirt and trees at top of arch. jamie and I followed free, with the same lunge. jamie then went the wrong way to get us nearly stuck on very thin crack/seam below dolphin chimney. after the angry one finished my cluster-fuk'd aid attempt (translation: i hate aiding) of thin crack....we retreated from below boving roofs due to light-factor... still want that beyotch.

     

    NICE PHOTOS~! bigdrink.gif

  9. ya know, I wonder if the 5.8 chimney used to have more blocks in it, but were later cleaned out...making it harder.

    either way that exposure is fukin tweaking! mushsmile.gif

     

    also, the 5.11 money pitch is (from what I've heard) always wet at the finish. the roof traverse will dry out....give it some more time.

     

    Tyree,

    Question:

    Is there any signs of new rockfall from the nw face area?

  10. some of the cracks were cleaned when they blew the shit up to build crap at the capitol and other places. I will whine about the poor timing and the fact that the birds were pissed...apparently still pissed cuz there home is wrecked.

    fruthermore, obviously, the rain helped clean up the cidiots mess AND no one needs to explain to me how many climbs get cleaned. I used spend countless hours scrubbing dirt in Leavenworth at the NEW SUPER SECRET CRAG when I was younger....due to enlightenment about clean climbing I realized not all dirt needs to be removed nor does it need to happen ala cheating, hanging around like a useless human.

     

    But, as all you geeks say, the dot dot has prevailed again in producing nothing more than a bunch of slanderous drivel.

    have a nice day!
