It's best to not leave anything in the car that you'll really miss, especially your wallet.

Oh, this is great. Rudy's a natural for that board, he loves a good tussle. You've got a point though, he'd do well to lurk a bit and pick up on the local flavor. Sure, it's sort of like licking a rest area bathroom floor, but it's a special flavor. It's not like Rudy is one of the alpinefascistinistas here who deny the validity of bouldering. Bald, backfat, he could be WB's long lost father... Oh, btw, I moved this thread to Spray, which is but a pale shadow to the slagfest offered up on b.com, perhaps the pinnacle of the art regardless of the particular obsession of any given intardweblabberboard.

What's this Arch, you're posting cut-and-paste of other's work as your own? Are you really Trask? That was definitely his modus operandi. It's a pretty good tirade though.

John bought me a beer and loaned me a guidebook, what have you done for me lately?

Every sperm is sacred!

Oh, thank dog! I was thinking fondly of this thread given all the hood babble lately, didn't really want to see this surpassed. cough cough. Must be time for someone to nudge the nodder too...

Looks to me like Carolyn should be perking up right about now... I know it's been so warm out on Cape Cod that my 86 year old mother-in-law recently broke a rib pulling weeds. I urged her to let the weeds win now and then...

V7, you're new, but if you can tell a decent story I'm sure many would love to hear some old TR's. E-Rock, you've been more or less gone since you moved to the Least Coast, I've been mourning you since then, so this announcement is just salt on an open wound. I bet even your poops are more boring since you moved away from the promised land.

Welcome back, DFA

If you have to ask who the Nodder is, you don't need to know.

Well right on, I just love hearing a some good news for a change.

Mr. Panther, it's possible you're less familiar with the many faces of Olyclimber than others are.

don't you mean ~ when your guide is jonmf76

"They died doing what they love" is just one of those meaningless comfort phrases people utter. You know, like "he's with the Lord now" and "I'm going to pray for them" or "I would so hit that." It doesn't "do" anything but might make the person who said it feel better. It sucks to be dead, but at least you don't have to read drivel online then.

Yes, it's nice to be getting some delayed TR's and photo stoke, like this one and Bill Coe's Epinephrine report at this dark time of the year. I've got one in my back pocket for a little later this winter. Nice route documentation Blake, this will make an excellent addition to the TR index.

Not to mention that if you turn off your lantern you might be eaten by a GRUE.

Okay, maybe you're misfiled, it's entirely possible you're a Clueless Twit rather than a Ghoul. Map stations around the mountain? Jesus fuck, just follow the paved wheelchair trail and you'll be fine. Serious answer? There are any number of guidebooks that offer the information you seek (either BUY them or use your local public Library), and places like Mapzone will allow you to download topo maps. What more do you want? Conversely, you could hire a guide service. I'd recommend an AMGA guide.

It's much more than 10 hours from Eugene to Flag, even if you drive like Muffy. Or even Snowbyrd for that matter. Anyone hear from her since she went to Iraq? I hope she's doing well.

If you're stuck in a snowcave I'd say a MILF is better than an MLB. Give me a Tauntaun out on the open ice though.

Kev, just because you're unfamiliar with Tim from your very short and recent residence here doesn't mean that he's a johnny-come-lately wannabe. Be carful, I'd guess more of the folks here would jump on you instead of on your bandwagon.

Beware Molly, we don't call him Hot Carl for nothing. Then again, maybe that's your thing, though I'd guess you'd rather climb into the freezers at the supermarket and play "mortuary."

A few important questions: What kind of rock? Is the rock surrounding the bolts smooth and flat or rough and convoluted? What kind of bolts? There has been good info on doing this in other threads here, as well as on Supertopo. "Chopping" is sort of a value laden verb, "removing" might make fewer knees jerk on either side of the issue. Sounds like a worthy project, take pictures and tell stories. I'll be particularly interested to hear if you can sway the locals to your point of view.

Shinigami is an expert, ask him a question!
