If you're looking for a moderate Dragontail route I'd advocate for the Gerber-Sink north face, overall far more entertaining than Serpentine. I think we did the Hidden Couloir finish (across the ledge at the base of the fin and across more ribs trending up and right, nice position, decent rock, and entertaining climbing. You could easily do the Fin finish as well. NE Buttress is a great long moderate adventure as well, but the guidebook info over there is vague when it isn't completely wrong.

It's okay Sobo, I'm sure you could find a bear who would take you as his cub!

Plus and minus once you hit the letter grades imply some difference of opinion on the grade, possibly influenced by body architecture. 10- is a or b 10 is b or c 10+ is c or d 5.9+ usually means its 5.10 but people have called it 5.9 for a long time.

I have no idea who you're talking about. Roy on the otherhand, is a damned fine corgi.

I sure wish I coulda' gone to hell, how was it, any pics?

I always feel better when I flash something, but dogging is not without entertainment value, like practicing you dance steps move by move.

Keenan? We're messing with you. I'll keep you in the loop as things dry up, any day now.

Hey now boys, don't make me call Lancegranite in to mediate...

Well, uh, yes, I think so. It must have been something about the "soft grading" and thinking things were 5.8 that did it...

Yep.

v0=5.10 v1=5.10+ v2=5.11 v3=5.11+ v4=5.12- v5=5.12a/b v6=5.12b/c v7=5.12c/d v8=5.13 v9=5.13a/b v10=5.13b/c v11=5.13c/d v12=5.14a/b v13=5.14b/c v14=5.14c/d v15=5.15 So, what do you think? 5.10b is V0, V0+ maybe. 5.9 is VB.

Project Bandaloop goes burlesque...

Its not crap, just don't assume every cobble is like a bolted on gym hold. I do wish it would dry up enough for the quarry to dry out though...

I've only been in on foot, so easy pass/fisher creek/douglas glacier valley was the way I went. Rat, what's the route from Easy Pass to Silent Lakes?

Yeah, what the hell ever happened to all that border security we had under Bush? (or Clinton, or Bush, or Reagan, or Carter, blah blah blah). I thought the workings of the invisible hand defied trivial constructs like national borders?

Thanks for that Hugh. I think D-dog is perhaps the strangest thing to ever brush up against this site, topping even the fraudlent speed climber. That encyclopedia dramatica entry G-spotter posted a link to (careful folks, there's stuff there that you can't unsee ever) misses the whole basejumping end of things, another community he burned through in a most controversial manner. His presence here was extraordinarily normal compared to the rest of his internet life. I never believed that Gerbil stuff in the past, but this bit really makes me wonder. yeeesh. In an unrelated note, I brought three sheep home today. baa

I believe its a personal offer from Hugh to pay the fee to sign up our own furiously flapping right wing as Sierra Club members. Who exactly are the cc.com teabaggers?

Yeah, Bishop's a great family destination. The Happy Boulders also have a really fine collection of easy boulder problems for those whose kids aren't some kinda freakin' prodigy, or for weaksauce old farts too.

Short order cooks don't pay a lot of taxes, though I suppose they do pay proportionally more in a state that runs on Sales Tax rather than an Income Tax. I shudder to think what a government run by people paid greasy spoon wages and benefits looks like.

Aww Kev, write your own material, don't just copy Lancegranite's homework.

Careful there cupcake, you're not a young man anymore. If you boil too much blood you're gonna blow a gasket. Thanks for the inside scoop Jared.

That's a great vid Dave.

That's funny FW, when it comes to ants I'd always visualized you as the guy with the magnifying glass...
