Dude....are you going to spray on here every time you go climbing? All year? Can you write it down in a journal or something? Just asking......... yes, yes i am (at least for beacon). this is my journal. feel free not to read it dumping it into the general beatard thread here for the higher good of reminding meself and others that the place is more about having fun than bitching about The Man or somesuch other shit...

more like aunt bob at any rate...

funny you mention it, as i have bob's wind-shirt in my car right now

5/6 - day #9 - afternoon sprint up the sun-baked monolith after union meetings and whatnot - pilgrims at dawn - days gone by and dead men ghosts - great gashes in the highway - asphalt scars and concrete wars - the red devil turns over 190k even as the cd player craps in the bed, carrying nico blue into the way blue yonder - the pearl is in the river

interantional star-wars day, may the fourth be with you beatard day 8 for 2013 - stoned stupor w/ bryan n' bob - bryan styles following p1 and leads p2 almost all clean - breezy n' balmy - eyes scuppered w/ dust-scum as i type - stooooked for a fine day in the sun - olde boys climbing below us on the spike route, a fine view from the phone booth - miker stops by for a chat even - summer's upon us!

'das what i'm saying, now i have no excuse - i can't bail on the arch to climb green dragon instead

are all 10 listed here? looks like i got at least 5 of the ones i saw...

One at the Drop Zone as well...... ahhh, but not the same views...

sounds like i'll see you there - we'll be doing the aid-start, and hopefully my rope-gun can free the 2nd pitch there is no oak on stone soup, or on the alpine start - the top of the spike route is loaded w/ the stuff, and you pretty much have no option but to wade through it on the last pitch stone pipe on the swiss ledges, if you can find it

Seems I recall the run out is on the 2nd pitch but over easy terrain... agreed - it's not too bad - seem to recall most of the gear on the first two pitches is either bolts or smallish nuts and cams - a couple bigger cams above there, though you can also just sling some of the spikes stone soup to the swiss ledges is fun, fun on that side too - if you don't want to aid, skip the 1st 2 pitches by doing the "alpine route" to 3 tree ledge - a fun pitch of 5.7 from there takes you to the alice in wonderland ledge, where you can either do an easy aid bolt ladder or go off left up easy 5th to the swiss ledges. rap off the big tree from there w/ 2 ropes, or continue to the summit. the first pitch at the top of the fixed rope is aid, but it's short, and the 2nd pitch is mostly free w/ a great setting and only a little bit of aiding on bolts.

nice, i was needing an excuse not to wuss out on the golden arch

i assume he means the original route to the top of beacon - starting on the n side where it's all cleaned up now - the 3rd pitch has all those original spikes in it, like a via ferrata - desposits you on the ledge who's name escapes me currently but is basically a big hobo camp - 2 dirt-wrangling, brush-bashing pitches later you're on the summit ridge worth goign all the way up it once, after that just rapping from the big tree after 2 pitches is recommended

aLl YoUr cAm$ i$ b3L0nG 2u$!!!

like perky white women, they're kinda all the same still...for the record: meth rage

yes!!! like sand's through the hour-glass, so too are the days of our lives!!!

5/2 - day 7 - all my pardners bail - the pearl is in the river - john has a long mustache - freedom is slavery, war is peace!!!

well...uh...what more do you want? looks nice n dry at the moment - 1st 2 pitches are spicy n' fun - from there it's kinda ho-hum adventurous shit to the summit...

as the OP suggests, ignorance of that basic tenet does threaten business for a land dependent on tourism the basic milk of human kindness and good humor goes a long way in all situations...

reckon they call it the orient express for a reason? would think acclimatizing on the w butt, maybe caching some goodies for a carry-over descent at 17, would be the ticket.

Ungrateful little buggers! i hear garbage men actually get pretty good pay - i don't know if they still complain about the smell of filth though? but seriously, how many plumbers from detroit are climbing the big E? the nepalese have crafted a tourism industry that pretty much demands wealth to take it on, so can they really complain if that results in a bunch of pataguccihavior?

i'm a charter member of the Hate Whitey club, but even so, it seems to me that the olde boye does actually bring his ill-gotten gains to the region and share it w/ the oppressed brown masses christ, given how much they charge for the permits, who the fuck else but rich folks are gonna climb there?

sheeeeit, my beatard pardner fell through for tomorrow - dave (or any of you other fools), want to do quick stone soup ascent (only 1 tiny bit of aid, mind ye - mostly moderate free)?

didn't work too well for crawley on k2 neither a solution for an unbearable bivy at least...

or alternatively, a light and compact pistol as "motivatation"
