How hard can bouldering be? They don't have to battle

We don't post on their topics and say rude things about them! We love and respect you, trad climbers-can't you love us too??? Take it easy, there, young squab; we's just funnin'. Don't get your Pusher beanie all in a knot. Peace out, homes. Greg W

...No hope for boulderers...

Regarding L.T.'s quote, he was quite correct. Mountaineering has many varying aspects that must be weighed, understood, and decided upon before, during, and after (i.e., descent) a climb. Differing gear, conditions, approaches, objective dangers, etc. Whose ever heard of a "bouldering epic"? Here's one: "During the approach from our vehicle, we took the wrong path and ended up in front of an outhouse, we backtracked and eventually found the rock. Biff realized he had lost his scrub brush during a brief bushwack around a picnic table and had to bail. Kenny hadn't brought the right shoes for the type of rock we were climbing or the current air temperature. The bouldering gods had two strikes against us, but we decided to have a go. Biff returned, having recovered his brush, and told us that the car stereo wouldn't go any higher. How could we succeed under such conditions? Oh the Humanity of it all!!!! It was getting late, soon darkness would overtake us. I jumped on our basecamp phone (nokia w/verizon service) and had Heather turn on the headlights of the car so we could find our way out. Whew!!! We'd be back to tackle this great mother once more." Greg W

I know I've been spending to much time on cc.com when I see Krazy1's avatar and I think she's checking me out. "Hey, baby. How yous doin'?" Greg W

I don't know about the Tieton rock (basalt?), but I've seen some granite in L-worth that looks crumbly after the fires went through; rock nearby that was protected is sound.

KILLER BISCUTS WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER (ACTUAL AP HEADLINE) Sharon Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Sharon's eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Sharon replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour. The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Sharon refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Sharon had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid. And, yes, Sharon is a blonde

What the hell? I figured Trask was selling one of his female family members...damn.

This has turned into a contest to see who is the biggest computer geek.

Is that a multi-level mobile home?

quote: Originally posted by Dru: I seem to recall reading a biographical sketch of Beckey which related that in about 1974, Beckey and Rowell were heading for a unclimbed line in the Sierras. Beckey got bad vibes and decided he wanted to turn around. Rowell insisted everything was gonna be Ok and refused to turn around and descend with Fred - instead, he went on to solo the line. Fred was allegedy pissed off by this to the point he never climbed with Rowell again after this! Anybody know if this story is true or not? Actually I heard that Beckey wasn't down with doing a "horsecock-less" ascent and bailed.

Good to hear some of this info., but am still undecided. I perused their website to try and find out what groups they support or if they just lobby on their own. I know someone said that they used to work in conjunction with Access Fund, but do they partner with groups like Sierra Club, Earthfirst, WWF, etc? Greg W

Here's what I know: SW Route is a Class 3-4 scramble. North Ridge is a Grade II Class 4 which should take about 6 hrs from the ponds at 5,700-ft on the shoulder. The Northeast Glacier route has narrow chaotic portions and probablis is only feasible in early summer. The East Ridge is Grade II, Class 4 (good rock along the ridge). the Southeast Ridge is a Grade III, 5.6 with considerable class 3-4 climbing (take a helmet). The South Face is a good summit route. There is some exposed scrambling (class 3); watch for loose rock.* Hope it helps. Greg W Beckey, Fred. "Cascade Alpine Guide, Vol. III", second edition, 1991. P.S. It's all there, dude.

Granted, no system is perfect but I am sure they keep close tabs. Guards who are climbers are probably a bigger problem - always kiping shit. Greg W
