When enduring an unplanned bivy, sleep with your helmet on. It will keep you from bashing your head on adjacent rocks during bouts of uncontrollable shivering.

you should do this and clip the bite to your rap/belay loop...keeps you on lead, protected by the last piece while you thread the anchor! Exactly, and be really clear with the belayer so they never take you off belay.

Wide, I assume.

The lunch crowd set goes soft, when Georgette plays a goth!

Awww Mark, sounds like you're really missing your little buddy.

And, just for Pope & Pink, heeerres Zappa!

Though it was KK himself who deepened my appreciation of Metallica, in fine form here!

Unless it's Stevie Ray!

There can only be one God, Clapton. This solo is a MUST SEE

There's three routes down along the water there, easily approached by heading up and over a saddle beyond Bono (the 5.8 everyone does) and down a gully. That left most route, Aqualine, was my fave of those three. I thought traversing in was a fair bit harder than 4th class. The other two are worth doing as well. I'd bring some gear for the top of the middle one. All in the 5.9 range.

Only Dolphin Chimney I'm familiar with is the one on SEWS.

You were bored? And you call yourself a fashionista? It's all about the hat thingys with the train in the back... Isn't it time for you to post your San Gorgonio and Mt Irvine TRs? They would go in the "California" forum. Hot tip: pictures always help a TR.

Oh, your home has been remuddled already!

Do you mean this copy of your own letter?

Yup, the woodclad is just a 1/32" thin layer of mold food, the fiberglass itself is just fine. If asking window folks for a doug fir interior they'll often try to steer you this way. If you're talking paint grade interior, no reason not to do the all fiberglass unit. The Marvin Integrity windows are worth looking at, a fairly happy medium. Interior is pine, exterior is a colored fiberglass cladding. If you want clear doug fir interiors, look at Loewen Windows.

I do wish they had flashed the load at time of failure, but those are pretty swell viewing.

It's entirely possible he's fallen off the wagon... Oh jeez! a link!

AVOID MILGARD WOODCLAD WINDOWS Sorry to shout, but you need to know this. What Milgard markets as a wood window is a fiberglass window with an extremely thin CVG doug fir veneer. They are super prone to mold and mildew issues, and the wood is too thin to do anything with once mildew sets in. Don't let anyone sell you these things. A basic question: are you putting in new windows, or are you just replacing the sash (operable portions) and installing new tracks? Replacing the sash lets you avoid tearing out the interior and exterior trim.

Just stare at the ceiling and think of England.

Talk about environmental degradation, just look at all those bolts, what a mess! No, I don't mean the asphalt. No, ignore the chain link. The rock work is natural right? No, don't look at the trail. It's all about what a mess those bolts make!

Yeah, because passion, enthusiasm, and emotion are so uncool.

Go look, I did his before I did yours. My edited reason seems pretty clear. Spray does have standards, however low they may be. thanks Off

Generally speaking, "criminal mastermind" is an oxymoron. I hope you folks have success retrieving your wares, you're a good shop.

Jesus loves me, but I'm pretty sure he thinks you're an asshole.
