Fortunately, most men are dumb enough to convince themselves they're gettin' a little and keep buying the lady drinks, regardless of all signs pointing to "no score."

Some relative of Beefchub, perhaps?

DFA has the Tempest jacket. Granted, he isn't using it to thrash up alpine sufferfests, but it's been a swell piece. It's compact enough to take along just in case, and it stays dry in pretty heavy downpour conditions. Swell wind shell too for those breezy days. The lightweight fabric probably wouldn't take much abuse, though.

Well, how 'bout that? Those things are killer; it looks like they do a kick-ass job. Not as expensive as you might expect, either, although twenty bucks isn't exactly chump change. Did you see the Lost Arrow money clips, too?

DSL.

Alas, Dr. Flash Amazing has been down neither Hell's Corner nor the Illinois. Heard plenty of fun stories about Illinois trips where it snows and you get to put on a frozen wetsuit in the morning, then everyone flips at Green Wall. Or when it rains like hell and the sumbitch is pushing flood stage and everyone almost dies.

learn to spell, moran Isn't it spelled "moron," moron? Oops!

"ever hear of sarcasm you genius?" Don't change the subject, fuckwit. Hey, speaking of the word "fuckwit," what did y'all think of 'Igby Goes Down'? It was worth three dollars at the Laurelhurst, but it was no 'Royal Tennenbaums', despite some thematic similarities.

Isn't it spelled "moron," moron? Oops!

Erik, the boredom simply peaked on Tuesday last week. Monday, rest assured, was boring as all git out. Fuck, man.

This is almost boringer than last Monday. Need some fuckin' coffee or something ... damn.

Are you referring to Ishy-Pishy Falls? Or the Upper Klamath, i.e. Hell's Corner?

There is tons of killer mtn. biking around Ashland, and there's some fun class II-III boating to be had on the Klamath River about an hour away, or cruiser day trips on the Rogue also about an hour away (also permit-controlled "wilderness" boating on the lower Rogue, with mostly class II-III water, plus bears and jet-boats). And Smith is about 3.5 hours away, too, don't forget. Or you can slog around in the alpine on Mt. Thielsen or something.

Maybe it's time to dig out the thorazine before pursuing this liquor debate thing any further. Could clear up a few things.

Depends on whether you're debating said ethical differences with yourself or somebody else.

It's a moot point anyway, as even the mighty google has failed to turn up any beta about #11 Hex mugs.

Alternately, do go, and make fun of the chipped holds and slippery glue. Lots of fun!

Nothing like consuming beverages from untreated aluminum containers! Alzheimer's, anyone? Wait, what were we talking about ..? Who are you people? What is this place?

Now you've done it, you intractable Canadian doofus!

- Fair selection of basalt face and crack climbs (sportish and traddish) at the Greensprings crag. Short, steep approach, routes from 5.6 to 5.12c with a good selection in the .10-.11 range. - Steep and vertical sport routes and TRs (and one or two cracks) from around 5.6 to 5.12c at Emigrant Lake (when the water is low, which should be the case this summer -- many of the good routes are under water at least part way when the lake is up. Don't let the rusty bolts worry you. Watch out for poison oak, trash, bees, and the occasional angry duck or dead fish. - "Elephant Rock" at Emigrant Lake is a ~25'-tall blob of low-quality, grainy sandstone. Once featuring some decent boulder problems and TRs, this already ho-hum mini-crag had a large piece pried off by vandals, and had one whole face completely peg-board drilled out by a local drill-happy moron. Hit it up if you're desperate for sandy sandstone slabs, grafitti, broken glass, mud, drilled pockets, etc. Usually above water when the main crag is submerged. - Fun, steepish bouldering on the Amanita (sp?) boulder at Pompadour Bluff near the Ashland Airport. Access is strictly covert bullet-dodging style, however once you're at the boulder in question, you're pretty much hidden from view. Roping up and tackling the taller cliffs of chossy sandstone nearby is not recommended. Watch out for poison oak, rattlesnakes, and goats. - Acid Castles bouldering is more or less in town on several good-sized granite blobs. Plenty of highballs with shitty landings onto sloped dirt or into manzanita and/or poison oak. Bring a spotter and a big pad - Rattlesnake is about an hour +/- from Ashland near lovely Shady Cove. Get the beta from somebody local. Mostly short climbs on somewhat chalky tuff, well-bolted routes of decent quality, many featuring blatant/unnecessary chipping (cue ranting about all chipping being unnecessary) and astonishingly stupid use of glue. Killer "cathedral" feature. Watch out for poison oak. And hillbillies, maybe. Probably plenty of potential on the outlying crags visible from the road, but check for access first. - The SOU climbing wall for when the weather's crappy or you need to do some bouldering in the evening. Sporadically open, sporadically monitored, sporadic fees, may not even exist any more. Mostly vertical with pumper epoxied-on railroad rocks traverse, small overhanging toprope section of dubious structural integrity, and bouldering cave area that was under construction for years last DFA was aware. Watch out for wrestlers and people who want you to pay for the wall. - Mt. Ashland features some short granite routes in the bowl area near the summit, as well as some highball and lowball boulder problems scattered about. Head up there if you're desperate or just insatiably curious. Also a ~house-sized boulder near the PCT trail crossing on the Mt. A access road, with a few good boulder problems and traverses - Pilot Rock features sorta alpine trad stuff on allegedly so-so rock, and some hiking. Ask a trad climber for beta.
