Pandora?

Mankind has been violent for centuries. What is worse: getting your head cut off by a guillotine, being stoned, being burned at the stake, stabbed with a sword, hit with a cannonball, shot with a musket or revolver, blown up with a bomb, tortured, beaten with fists, getting shanked in prison with an improvised device or be a random or targeted victim of modern gunfare. Normal is a setting on the wash machine and will never apply to human beings. Outliers will ALWAYS find a way to be violent. But I am watching Rambo III so I plead guilty of temporary insanity due to video exposure.

Another great TR from the Hunter S. Thompson of this website.

Always good to get a TR from the Hunter S. Thompson of this site. Happy New Year.

Probably sending 5.14 climbers somewhere.

Latitude and guaranteed gloomy weather in winter is what you got in your stocking.

Congress has been trying to solve the fiscal cliff with the recent strategy of: FUBAR In my opinion, signing pledges to never increase taxes is like giving up your ability to negotiate, compromise, and otherwise think for yourself. Be yourself and not a proxy and you may get my vote.

anything to do with the instance when you lost your camera?? Quite the historian you are. The fine involves a later incident but the lost camera (then recovered but later stolen) that had topless and moon shots (male and female) at Vantage from anonymous sources and pics were lost with the theft. Where was Santa then?

he had some sorta amusing exit a few months ago it seems and bade his adieu - for sure, i'd googlify the thread if only i truly gave less of a phuck - verily, i think he thought himself vilified and also too oft the object of vulgar abuse Vilified by the one who vilified plenty. The vulgarity was up to us regulars who recognize that bolts in the world of climbing and chaos may be a tempest in a teapot.

Living on the east coast with a law license. Well that would be a Juris Doctor. Good for her. At least she wasn't faking it on this site.

I got toiletries and a loan to pay the rest of my fine.

Dawg has been long pissed at how many people on this site have clipped or even seen a bolt and has probably opted out. Just my opinion.

second try for thelawgoddess

I agree with ivan. Some bad shit has to happen to convince Congress to do something.

Correct

I kinda knew about Dru, thus the quotation marks. Trask is a good one. One more: sexual_chocolate.

Don't expect to understand that place first go. Choose locations easy to find (i.e. close to the road). Sometimes at JTree the crux is finding your crag and getting to it. It is a fantastic place though and you will not be disappointed.

In winter, rule out Tahquitz/Suicide and in any season the area may not pass the "low impact cragging" criteria. JTree would be fine but bone up before you go. rockclimbing.com and mountainproject.com are good resources. Some research, planning and good judgment ahead of time will help keep your relationship intact on a low impact cragging outing. Trust me.

Go ahead, rub it in. Nah, the collision of excellent conditions and free time needs to be taken advantage of every time.

Ok. Good skiing anywhere is good skiing. And it is a good TR. I am mostly jealous about the "7 days straight"

How about colin. He's not posting much so he must not be doing much. And Dru. 5 million posts and then "disappeared"

I see a cage match between the Rockies and the Cascades coming. But PowderGanster has to know he got lucky in coastal BC. The Rockies are kings of pow.

Unlike evening activities like boxing or basketball, this kind of activity the night before can be deleterious to an alpine start for climbing. And how about the dude claiming to have the Rainier speed record?

There clearly needs to have some rules set. What are the exact boundaries of the Cascades? Posts from Cascade climbers climbing outside the Cascades. Posts from non-Cascade climbers climbing in the Cascades. Posts from ex-Cascade climbers living elsewhere. What constitnutes issues appropriate to a climbing website? The free flowing internet gets complicated if we think about it too much. I enjoyed this thread because I live in Bozeman where we just got a big pow dump, used to live in Washington and skiid all over Washington and BC. and have done climbing TRs about WA MT and CO. Don't box me in.

Probably an expensive partner.
