“America is a country of choices, not forcing people to buy things that they don’t need” - Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle in a debate against Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday.

i'd vote for anybody w/ sweet chops like those

how many advanced cro-magnon hikers sat around w/ their iphones puzzling over how to deal w/ said goat for a fucking hour? this woulda gone down differently in alaska i feel...

all russian, all the time oleg's a lucky man to be sharing so much fine compnay for so long in so small a tent

nice - really is stupid short, but the last part to the anchor is good fun - if only the rest of the climb wasn't bitch aid - did you do the tr next to it as well?

never have understood how the famous girdle was done on el cap - are there just that many horizontal cracks up high?

you mean the 2 closed portions? one day, after the zombie apocalypse comes...

the bridge shot

on a fine fall day, blustery w/ a hint of cold, ditching the frost and fog of camas, we went up the south side via the corner/youngwarriors, continued to the summit via the trail, then rappelled down the n side from the true summit to the parking lot via stooooone soup THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE! had thought of doing it for awhile now as i can't imagine it'd ever been done in the past, encompassing beacon's true summit being the bitchy bit - so nice, though the fixed ropes squeak now when you rap on them, and that in addition to the fact that my reverso is as sharp as the devils wit and greedily shaves the kermantle sure made me feel not so very happy in my bathroom areas no pix, so no tr - bummer....

do republicans really climb, wasn't beck weathers a republican? quit spraying n' get your ass on a plane n' come climb w/ me, eh?!? repubs seem good at climbing on top the social ladder

excellent - i only eat free-range critters - summit or death!

the capitol building in olympia?

save me from soloing easy - hard - free - aid - i don't care. prefer non-republicans but i'm fairly bored, so....

watchu' talking about? i LOVE Big Brother!

i thought they were too busy tatting themselves up to fight?

good thing we don't have a lewis n' clark day then

a complete inability to post tr's here don't help much neither

forbidden w ridge would be the classic start for any aspiring n cascade hardman - the season is kinda past till next summer though, if'n you're wanting optimal phatty warm/dry-rock conditions - this time of year any n cascade wandering will be honorable

the bolts weren't there to begin w/?

i like to make an annual appearnce, if only to rip out at least one bolt or block w/ my sick aid-style kinda a waste climbing in the shade on such sunny fall days....

my memory is that you'd want something like a 50 m rope

agreed - the last rap is all you need to worry about - it would have been an easy downclimb, but it is quite exposed had to do a bunch of emergency raps on a 20 meter kids'r'us rope once - would be very happy never to have to repeat that horrific experience

"when alexander saw the breadth of his empire he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer!"

i always make a point of getting hammered on columbus day...course, it IS my b-day.

is that the pritchard scale for measuring a good war?
