Screw that Via Ferrata noise, what we need at Washington Pass is a Telepherique.

If you're into bouldering, you might check out boldering.com (note the misspelling) as there seem to be a number of Texians there who like as not would show you the goods. I've only been to Hueco once, but it was pretty damn cool. This was before the current restrictions, but I hear its still worthwhile.

A number of branches of our five county library, The Timberland Regional Library subscribe, and I would imagine that you big city folk may also find your local institutions do as well.

I think it's interesting that the PCT is so obvious.

GregW said: Hmmm, I think this more about the character of the women who find you attractive than any intrinsic characteristic of the gender.

You're old enough to vote? Judging from your primal scream pic, I'd have figured you for a Dean fan.

Hot Republican Alert - w00t w00t Check out the gams! No, on Nancy you goof!

I reckon the stump is new too.

Right turn from the middle lane? That guy was in the wrong no matter what his mode of transport. I'm glad your post didn't come from your laptop in the hospital. Your low key response was right on, just because someone else is an asshole there's no reason for you to be one too. Shrug it off and mutter the mantra to yourself, "must suck to be you."

George Walker Bush's niece Noelle is quite something too...

Too true, lots of disagreements around here come from this basic fact of bulletin board life. Its all to easy to read what someone says but not understand what they mean. Bereft of tone of voice and body language, the graemlins are supposed to be a stand in for those other ways to interpret what someone says.

Exactly who I was thinking of. I actually had to bury my face in my hands once.

Politeness is the key, seemed like he was nice about it. I do hate to see someone all shaky and rattled while free soloing though, but I think that's just personal squeamishness. Sounds like that was not the case this time. I did once have some guy solo a route in Joshua Tree that I had just led and my second had already started following. I think it was kind of an obnoxious fashion there in the mid eighties. That was not polite, but it would have been churlish on my part to boot the oaf 140' to the deck.

Write to Joe Puryear at Cascade Images, that's where the photo came from, and he has a few climbing photos too. Here's a link to his contact page with e-mail address: Cascade Images

Gentlemen, if you would like to snipe at each other a little more, please do so in Spray. Vigorous debate is good, but "you suck" and "no, you suck" is dull.

Yeah, and Adam was dumb enough to stand next to a naked woman and be tempted by a piece of fruit. That's people for ya, dumb from the get go.

Hey Sisu, you must listen to Prairie Home Companion, they told that one yesterday. Along with... Baby Seal walks into a bar. Bartender says, "What'll ya have?" Baby Seal replies, "Anything but Canadian Club."

Yer gonna give yourself hemorrhoids doing too much of that.

I get what you're talking about Chirp, more about the feeling of doing long adventuresome routes, rather than the particular vagaries of style due to rock type. You'll like it, Darrington is great, and the new guide is too.

I owe $666 Think that's a coincidence?

You, yeah you, have become what you hate

i stay up late quite often reading guidebooks to places i've been, places i'm going, and places i want to go!! i have no life!! Maybe we need to start a support group.

CBS, I thought all you had to do was post.

It's a nice pic, good work getting that kind of perspective. Anyway, given the title of your thread, I'm going to move this to Spray so that those who are inclined may indeed make fun of you.
