It's wearing you down isn't it R?

Agreed. "Love it or leave it." Bullshit. Open dialog should be encouraged at all times. Without it, we all lose.

She is hot.

OK. Outlaw testosterone. You'll be screaming to have that law repealed in about 24 hours. huh? trying to figure out how archie and i getting along has anything to do w/outlawing testosterone. one thing we always agree on is that testosterone can be good Two females = very little testosterone. You wouldn't be here if you didn't love it. At least Archie is honest

and that's another one that bugs me. The fact that we often feel like we have to qualify our remarks with the "I don't agree with so and so, but" in order to say anything about that individual's stance. Qualification: I am not making this personal to you, Minx. We all do it. I do it. Just did as a matter of fact. CAT FIGHT!!!!! Yahoo. Now you can get out the beer andn popcorm K

I have that locked.

I am one of those old climbers who "......" but I disagree with your stance on bolting well as your lumping of me into a group that "does not care". Bolting sucks as far as I am concerned. It is permanent and will someday be un-neccessary. People like Rumr who are damn good climbers should be more careful about wantonly advocating it, or dismissing it imo. They are capable of climbing way more than most in traditional style. And it would be more sustainable environmentally if people LIKE this were more outspoken about striving for cleaner style. So why do I disagree with you? We need more people to get outside and value "nature" for what it is. If bolting provides the stimulus and or avenue for that to happen then it is still a small price to pay compared to dirt bikes at Vantage, 4-wheelers on top of Index, etc. One step at a time. Sad I know. Machivellian even. But to a far lesser extent than most outdoor alternatives of recent US vintage. Political power will become more and more important as the population continues to explode. We need more people who value the outdoors and bolting is a clear draw for huge numbers. I stood out against bolting in the Bitterroots in the 80's and lost friends over it (not my choice but theirs). The bolts came anyway but the crowds still have not followed. The crowds still go to Lolo domes and other "bumper-belay" areas. These are areas that have already been logged, mined , and roaded. Some of the bolts in the Bitterroot have since dissappeared. Some have yet to be removed. Some will stay as they provide the only safe way to protect sections of long routes. Mill Creek is a sportclimber's heaven except that you have to walk a mile or two, and it is up hill. The point is, Wilderness has remained wilderness while mega masses have taken up sport climbing. I think that will generally continue to be the case.

You must be a republican.

Anytime you see multi-colored dots in the sky you should not be in school.

Third time's a charm. But what I meant was, WHY AM I NOT ON THAT LIST? Here, Jesus Loves you Minx.

I'll try harder.

I have heard rumors that one almost summitted via the Cascadian Couloir.

Oh. So this is internet porn. really? so that explains why i'm jacking off. Or why you go through so much chalk.

I am taking skiis for this weekend. New snow is supposed to fall. If nothing else, I will have a great time skiing the Colchuck glacier.

Adams is one of my favorites. The south ridge is a GREAT ski. The North Ridge is a little spicier but still pretty safe for a beginner. There is one place where you would be wise to rope up. A 30m chunk would be plenty.

Oh. So this is internet porn.

Any dog that does not get walked/exercised regularly will get frustrated. The results are as varied as the breeds. Ditto on the mutt recommendation. Mutts make better pets and suffer fewer in-breeding problems like hip displasia, etc.

Imagine spending 80 grand on climbing

Park. Turn hard and start moving. If it does not make the sound, do it the other way. If it still does not make the sound, it probably is not the CV joint.

Watch for them on homeless people on Capitol Hill.

So you are saying, the only reason you do not send 5.14's is because you are too well endowed?

I have had German Sheperds. They are great watch-dogs and good with your children. They learn to ignore cats (even if they are still alive). But they will eat your kids' friends. I second the vote for Akidas.

Not enough cleavage.

And how did she explain those six empty Cheetos bags?
