i'd agree w/ joe that kvetching about the trail aint' likely to get you far, but it is the interwebs afterall, so what else you gonna do? seems like line of sight is as relevant as total distance from the nest - young warriors and the west face would seem unlikely to disturb the birdies either, but clearly climbers have little poltical pull and a less than perfect history w/ the land managers perhaps if we can just introduce some growth hormones into the local air so the babies can get big n' strong n' fly the hell away once it finally gets bright n' sunny again? bitching bout this seems rather absurd when it's pouring out for months on end

perhaps we're looking at this all the wrong way? perhaps instead of making guns mandatory, we should make wearing flak-jackets required? or geneticially engineer sweet, sweet amerikan fetuses of the future to feature kevlar-excreting sweat-glands?

beacon's s face seems pretty close in size to the monument at smith, and that gets a total closure - so too does everything above p1 on the picnic lunch wall (and there's no serious attempt to keep folks from hiking around up top on either wall) i'd say then the bird policy/enforcment's pretty similiar between the two parks.

this gun control thing is clearly a pretext for getting rid of the 3rd amendment!!!

if, hypothetically, a person posting on this forum was an idiot, would it in fact be name-calling to identify him as such?

"moderated spray" is like saying "clean gay sex"

i cheat at solataire - there, i said it

which is no doubt why he so often denies you his chocolaty goodness before setting off on your adventures in the morning

i don't understand why mr hankey isn't constatly smoking...

i'm shocked you would think that mr. hanky doesn't deserve a seat around the bowl

ah, the sweet strains of the annual february breeze.... fucking rain done ruined the full moon last weekend - typical that this weekend's clear weather coincides w/ the closure - anyone wanna team up for a stone soup ascent, or work on finangling a new way more in the center? there are other beacon rock south side's in the life of man

i would be a great member of an ethics committee

a permaent cc.com graveyard? now there's a forum for you

i prefer to shit in total darkness

always nice to have someone remind the Evil Doers that they can whale on someone other than us, if'n they're in the market for revenge

guns mean what they say.

speaking of excellent locations to snipe from - dolt tower woudl allow for much fun w/ el cap meadow

X2 - seems a conservative talking-point that we do in fact hate the 2nd - libturds don't just hold every other damn right hostage to it nor think it can't suffer any sort of restrictions w/o the whole republic crashing down upon our ears... fuck-sakes, bill maher is packing!

If the military can have M-60's, why can't I? PLEASE STOP MISQUOTING THE BONE!!!

once we win the war on guns, the war on christmas oughta be relatively easy to bring to a close, no?

i'm guessing chicks in infantry units gonna be a whole lot harder to rape than chicks fixing humvees.... my grandma was in ww2 and is buried in arlington today and i'm quite sure she'd be stoked on this news too.

goddamn i wish i lived closer and knew how to fuckign ski!

neat - only been up there once, last fall, in a huge old pouring rain, complete w/ golf umbrella's - looked like some decent cragging to be had, albeit after a long hike? totally different looking in winter - the true crux for us was just not getting lost on the drive

man, beacon done changed! anybody had chillblains before? i've diagnosed meself on the interweb after the corner ascent the other day...jesus, all the toes of my right foot feel like they're contionously burning - what's odd is how little time it took for that to happen - our whole climb was only an hour and a half, and it wasn't until half-way up that they went numb - i'm assumign this shit'll go away?

if tvash didn't cut the heart out of hobo's every night, the sun wouldnt' rise in the morning... he also invented the electric car, but the goddamn arabs wouldn't let it live polio vaccine? yup, that was him. the assembly line - brilliant. now if only i can sell him on bacon-bubble-gum...
