Really? What else is there? Say real 5.10 or harder (i.e. not a .10c stemming route with a 10' 5.7 wide section or an overrated 5.8 pitch that people call 5.10 cause they don't know how to climb wide cracks.) Hit me with a tick list. will, it wasn't my claim to begin w/ and i think joe was probalby kidding - have you done wrong gull though? i didn't see the crux as a 5.7 at all, but then i am the suck there isn't much wide stuff at beacon - jensen's ridge, p3 is 5" though and rated in the 10 range - jensen's rimjob is also 5-6" wide, but not terribly long and probaby much harder at the top where it's a roof, not a crack (i've only aided it) no other wide stuff sticks out in my mind - sounded like plaidman coulda just done those though if he was looking for wide and saved himself some gas money!

easter party, 2001 - jesus wine-keg - note the paper-mache material

then after your meetings you can pop down to the local malt shop and get tall, cool glasses of shut-the-fuck-up? right, next you're probably gonna say guy fawkes DIDN'T really have a conspiracy to blow up parliament! kev, i get all my facts from cc.com - is that not good? "3 can keep a secret, if 2 of them are dead"

if by the campfire analogy you mean having some bullshit to do when you're drunk n' bored, then check! (and probably why i'm near leading hte league in these parts ) most of the fun in creating tr's for me, aside from stroking meself, is in reliving and preserving the memory so, 10 minutes from now after i've seen somethign shiny, i can actually remember w/ some detail how the fuck i acquired all these new scars

a bit more, certainly at the top, but not as long as dana's i'd imagine (22 meters from ledge to anchor) - certainly steeper to start though the last pitch i'm hoping to do this weekend in the suck

yeah, that sounds like the 2nd pitch - it ends at the optional belay below the 2 pins (the short 10ish section) on right gull.

what i like 'bout the menage-a-trois is that each spire pretty much involves bombing strait down an out-of-control steep brushy hill-fuck sorta thing, then desperately clawing right the hell back out of it when done - the old overgrown road obviously marking the end of the upwards thrutch-fuck takes the tension out of it - yer climb, get high as georgia-pine then stumble back to the rawk-w-yer-cawk out park'n'lot scene!

"the less a man makes declarative statements, the less apt he is to look foolish in hindsight"

the way you know this wasn't a bush conspiracy is that it actually worked the defense industry owned the country before 9/11 anyhow, it's not like they needed a new line of bullshit to keep the shekels flying their way.

plenty of clean aid out at beacon, even in the rain - the only routes i've needed hammers on are fresh squeeze and the pipeline headwall - the village route off the ledge goes clean, having a big piece in the #4-6 range is good (a #4 alone will do) - i usually bring a single hook, but my boy mike did it w/o one - the route will top out, but i still havne't done it - looks like a 1/4 pitch or so from my new anchors to near the rap tree on uprising village goes as c2 i reckon - good fun - would be a little wierd to solo as it's a long traverse

nice kyle! knew we brought you along for sumthang!

If he keeps it up.....soon the lines that are not seeing free ascents will be. i doubt it - it's not like i'm placing many pins at all, and when i do, they're always birdbeaks or kniveblades, and not exactly blasting you out huge holds - nor am i cleanign the routes beyond the bare minimum to aid up them

since when did the weather have to be good for aid-climbing? in real foul weather, there's a great route on the n side that stays dry always, and the village route off the left side of the party ledge is pretty dry too (especially for the belayer )

that would be indeed the silver lining in the cloud of this gloomy, early demise

hairsuits?

i don't understand how we can uninvent a device that gives each of its inventors so much power - i know the japanese briefly managed to uninvent gunpowder for a few centuries, but i doubt their motives were analgous to ours

when i was 9 i got totally freaked out by some vampire movie i'd just watched and spent the whole night w/ my glow in the dark plastic rosary round my neck (not david carradine style, mind ye)

wouldn't i need to post it in spray? oh wait...isn't everythign supposed to go there?

Well, Jesus gotta couple options here... these must sell very well in latin america the true hard-woman would no doubt prefer the buddhism line of products though

will i be able form a domestic relationship w/ my jade-plants if i vote for this? my fish? seriously, what WOULD jeebus do?

reckoning out the total # of days i've been exchanging the gases w/ the world as of today, i can't help but remark on how extraordinarily little i've done with at least 10,000 of them

Trip: Menage-a-Twat - Da Turkey Monsta & Da Bridge Date: 10/11/2009 Trip Report: spent 2 nights up in the menage-a-twat wilderness w/ geoff n' kyle n' tyler n' his bud who failed to tell me his sobriquet before i was too drunk to care to remember did the monster over 2 days w/ geoff n' kyle the descent off the old overgrown road down to the monster would be hard to do correct w/o a native coolie to show you the way - actually it's not bad w/ the right beta i reckon - past the clibmers camp, just past a boggy part, a white cliff stands on left and a cairn marks the point where you give up hope and start sliding down hill thrutching at thorns n' hand-stabbies - a mountain axe is much recommended turkey cock! from here it's skiers left down steep dirt geoff on the attack, p1 - new bolts courtesy of that tyler feller, who generously removed the first fixed pin so ole boy could reaaaaach for the nut placement start of p2 - who can resist clipping the 30 year old hammered in tent-peg? this pitch is creaky scary, but if you get scared, at least you can bang out a marley-tune on the hollow rocks till ya gt centered anchor atop p2 - wingnuts, they're not just for talk-radio! not featured is tyler's new 3rd bolt and the #3 backup geoff following p2 geoff leading p3 - tyler's not quite got round to swapping out the smithsonian iron on this pitch, but his fixed rope gave you the ultimate chicken-out option, should it have been required... mank under pressure - gotta love the tinfoil hangers geoff's bro kyle, the vip 3rd member of the party and the Provider of Ultra-Light Cigarretes cannonhole just below the summit - Da Beast lurks beyond da wabbit-ears high times at turkey point - kyle refuses to make the walk of faith - late afternoon sun lights up the sky above keith (?) creek da bridge a sweet place to watch an earthquake from the delightfully simple butterfly buttress on the right geoff atop p3 - the ninja-belay bolts eluded hiim for awhile why would some silly ruffian drill 2 holes in this poor defenseless rock? fall in progress below keith's knob eat me - seriously. tyler n' company, having survived a lenghty fall w/ the help of danny devito's dong-dong life preserver, stand atop the zebra Gear Notes: for da monster, a buncha nuts and x2-3 cams from 1-4 inches for da bridge, no nuts, 1 cam each .5-2 Approach Notes: past the yarder and hordes of paunchy middle-aged men operating massive tree-destroying equipment the trail to the bridge group is currently very well flagged and cut
