Friend of mine rapped the Nose several times for the same reason. Cheaper than skiing indeed, good point. Lift tickets are priced like cams these days.

Good thing you are a dad sobo, else there would be serious questions.................... Since Sobo was describing how to do a Michael Jackson dance move, the context makes sense. You do understand the connections between moonwalk=michaeljackson=pedophile?

Don't forget the fine tactic of airing your dirty laundry on the internet, people really love that sort of vicarious thing.

Is that a sport or an art form?

Update: Wed 5-13-09 Wet weather has left most things rather damp, Rubber Boa and Calvin & Hobbes were the only things climable at today's noon inspection, so I don't think this Wednesday has much to offer the evening crowd.

Remember that time we had mono on Everest? Wasn't that the best diet ever?

Is Bill Coe no longer keeping his cheap rope thread up? That was a damn fine public service while he babysat it. Thanks Bill

With 56 TR's, we're pretty sure you're compensating for something.

Given that the horde has been using fixed lines through that area tied off to a wad of other old frozen in place fixed lines anchored to who knows what, it doesn't seem like the same sort of thing as adding a dozen bolts to the Bachar-Yerian. As Dru accurately points out, it's been like a via ferrata for awhile now, this is just an anchor upgrade. If they clean out the piles of old tat and fixed ropes it will actually be an aesthetic upgrade. Oh, and to be sure, it's a liability mitigation move: if no one guided that peak I doubt the bolts would be placed. Yes indeed Raindawg, it looks like it's your former clan, the brethren of mountain guides, who are up to these shenanigans. No self respecting sporto would go up there, you'd bulk up your legs like woah and never send your proj with all that useless heavy muscle dangling there.

Bummer! [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpZnq_3P_dc

I thought I just heard something on the radio that they had 8 straight losses? I don't follow that stuff, but when I heard about 14 to zip my heart bled for you Peter. Glad to hear things aren't that bad in your universe.

The Sounders win sometimes, don't they?

You just love that shot because I'm wearing pink.

We did it last year on Memorial Day Weekend, it was just fine. I've heard folks are climbing at Lava Point, which is only a little lower.

I started a video thread in the Rockclimbing forum, lets see everyone's stuff. Is there some setting for video size? It's notably smaller embedded here than it is if you click through to Vimeo's site.

I thought I'd try out the new Vimeo support on this board by posting the slideshow of black & white vintage stuff circa 1976-78 I ran at the Sausagefest a couple years ago. So, technically it's not video since it's just a series of stills with music, but you should crank it up and enjoy a little Hendrix soundtrack. [video:vimeo]4086318 What's everyone else got to show? edit: it's a smaller window here than on Vimeo, I don't know if there is some support thing Porter should tweak or if it's just endemic to embedding...

Right on, I've got a slide show on there that youtube won't accept since it's 13 minutes long...

Sometimes it seems like there's a lot of Eric(k)s around here...

Whatever gives you a warm fuzzy feeling Trashtart, but I'm kinda feeling like that was a little too well envisioned TMI insight into your upcoming move to Enumclaw. Careful, next thing you know you'll be posting TR's of your sick new proj at Little Si.

Seems I've heard it suggested, only half in jest, that there should be a rap route from the top of the good stuff. There's also a winter route in that area, Tim Wilson & John Wason did it I think.

Mother's day is Sunday... edit: err, I meant for your wife Winter. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I didn't mean your mother...

That's some damn fine work Alasdair, I love the black and white work.

Well, you're in Portland, the city with the most strip joints per capita in the country. I'm from little ol' Tenino and we don't get to see any of that kind of stuff down at The Rotting Stump, nothing more than the ripple in Marge's fleshy bicep when she puts a headlock on Verl for hurling on the bartop again.

Check out the results of this training regimen: [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBWNaJdzovI I'm thinking CC.com should sponsor a team, whaddya say Porter? Oh, FYI, I think it's safe for work, there's no more flesh on display than at the average community swimming pool, and the athleticism is truly stunning.

Oh, make no mistake, I'm planning on checking out the new flick some rainy day soon. I recall bemoaning the fact that the original series was on at 10:00 and I couldn't convince my parents to let me stay up and watch. It's just that when I saw that vid, I immediately thought of Sobo.
