sorry guys and gals, was told my posts weren't going through!

is being a closet jew kind of like being a jack mormon?

why not be agnostic or atheist and drink vodka and have sex whenever you want.

By Croft style I meant leave the pack and rope behind too! (And then maybe do some other peaks on the same trip). But Croft is (or was) in another world..... But I remember thinking of Croft when I was there and how crazy that would be to be solo. Hats off to Mitch! [ 09-12-2002, 03:11 PM: Message edited by: matt warfield ]

if that's the case then being a climber and (especially) cc.com'er breaks her away from the pack!

does this mean you're really thelawgoddessandjewishprincess?

I was in Boulder Co recently and in an interview she said she was moving from Boulder to Moab to "pursue a relationship" with a climber. So, we're out of luck anyway until she dumps him. I still got my autographed version of her book though..... I think it'll still be a while before the repeat. Huber's fingers are too big for the Great Roof and Caldwell's aren't numerous enough.

Thanks for the report SEF. We went in Saturday for a Sunday climb of S. Face of Prusik but after visiting with outgoing parties and pondering the forecast and the unsettled weather that included a couple of snow flurries decided to pull the plug, head out and just go cragging and Weather looks much better this week.

Kurt's going to be in Vantage on 9/21 and hopefully the experience will be as superior as squish. It'll be a great party. The single portapotty recently attended by sold out Dave Matthew concert campers will be pretty spicy by then.

don't stop now. I'm new to this site and I'm keeping a list.....

lynn hill, rachel babkirk, tiffany campbell, brittany griffith, and sk(?) among great looking chicks who are also climb nothing wrong with the surfers either though. more choices.....

quote: Leak info then refuse to give it up. EG: that "leak" about Freeway Gunshow route now this. I agree. They want you to know they're in the know but not tell you what they know! But there are guidebook wars and turf battles and ratings battles and other stuff happening too. Exit 38 guide is supposed to pretty fat with the new development. Probably out in the Spring.

Can't verify the location, but I also heard this weekend about this crag. The source was exuberant about the quality of climbing but didn't offer access details. Both Little Si and Exit 38 have separate new guides coming soon and the developers are trying not to leak much info until all access issues are squared away and also don't want to diminish sales with too much pre-information.

Well, it's still better than the old days, when it was 1/4" hardware, and by now most are spinners.

I'd say the ratings are consistent with the rest of Exit 38 stuff. There seem to be a few soft ratings but plenty that most will agree are on grade. They're probably be a few adjustments in the book as compared to the current suggestions. The good thing is that the stiff approach will weed out the off-the-couch sport wieners.

don't need to when you have 3/8" hard........ware

they've been so busy putting in routes and building trails they don't have gals!

A young lad is thinking about becoming sexually active and walks into a pharmacy to get the scoop on condoms. The pharmacist begins with the packaging, explaining that they come singly or bundled in packs. Singles are great for getting started, maybe for high schoolers having a chance encounter now and then. Then they go off to college and get more active and they go for the 3-packs. Later in college or as young adults things can get really exciting and they may have a need for a 6-pack just to get them through a big weekend or week. But the biggest packs, the pharmacist explains, are for the married guys, who usually get the 12-packs. You know, they'll need one for January, one for February, one for March.....

Imagine a budding leader, carefully examining the guidebook for a good first 5.7 route. Having selected a good one (3 star, one pitch face climb), she racks up and tackles the circuitous approach only to find..... Merci Mi pitch 1 has only 2 bolts! A little info on the side is a good thing.

quote: f you mean "condorphamine" i led that the day before. it was a super fun climb but it wasn't as sweet or technically sustained as "off duty". i'd definitely recommend it, though. that's the one. kinda fun and you don't have to clip 'em if you don't want to.

Squamish- Whirlwind (10d) has fat bolts and isn't excessively spicy. Rap off after the crux pitch and skip the crack. Leavenworth- The "alpine sport" climb on Condor Buttress is exceedingly well protected but has some nice 10- moves along with lots of easier climbing.

REI had Sky Valley Rock last time I was in there.
