Bug

Well done and well written! Cheers!

No. He should be removed from the gene pool.

Or choose the other end of the spectrum. I'm fat, old, have two kids, and am starting to get back into climbing shape. Catch me quick. I'll look like Brad Pitt in a few weeks.

I second that.

Nice looking rock. Thanks for the great TR!

Suckin a. That's bad news. Get well soon Porter.

But I agree. It's all fun. Well, unless it isn't.

So... if I want to isolate myself it won't happen?

Yeah. It's great up there! Enjoy!

Oh not at all. Until you get up to the summit block. Then there are two places where you hang your butt over a massive drop. Don't be squeemish. The holds are positive.

Chuck is right. You have to be long on huevos. I wasn't either. Neither was my partner. We found a stuck chunk of rope around to the left, freed it and used it and a couple found slings to protect the moves. Can you get out of work at 2PM Friday? If so, join me for the West Ridge of Stuart for Fri-Sat. Similar views and 10X the 5.4 climbing.

Attendance just doubled.

Does this mean we have stop drifting? Then answer this about ropeup, is there free beer for everybody?

Prepare yea the way for the coming hoards. We have no defenses. They will beat us with their ability to sell us stuff. We will not be able to withstand their tempting offers and diversity of wares. Then they will have money and start travelling. We will see them arrive in busses, disembarking, snapping endless inane photos and re-embarking for the next trampled spot. After a couple trips here, they will start buying our land. Then OUR businesses will start catering to THEIR needs. Oh how sullied we will feel. Capitalism will fall, fall, fall, into the hands of billions of consumers who speek very little english. Imagine going to Walmart or REI and having to get help reading the label. Imagine the clerk having to find someone who can speak english. Oh the horror. Industrialization will cover the world with its economies of scale. Nothing will be the same except the eternal recurrance of it all.

Do not confuse "bub" with "bug". I do not experience fear on lead. I am too stupid.

Dragontail is accessible without snow work if you access it from near Little Annapurna and cross below the ridge crest to the south all the way to the base of the east side of Dragontail. This puts you in the col at the top of the snow. From there it is a scramble/hike.

You don't

Don't do it! Just sit on the couch. The hike is too long. The climbing is too easy. There is only a view and nothing else.

Whatever else Yvon does/did, he helped support a grassroots group to keep oil and gas out of the Bob Marshall wilderness and adjacent RARE II lands.

Yup, that was the 60's for me too.

I am never alone.

Ventura highway in the moonshine.

I climb in Patagucci because it comes in XXXL.

Cool. Experience is golden.
