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.

"Why I turned out the way I did Someone somewhere dropped me on my cranium I'm sorry can you repeat what you just said My short term memory is gone But my long term's far from dead"

Be a ninja!

Yeah, looks like a swell deal; those "hexagons" look very useful! But has anyone heard of the "Hexcentric" company before?

Thanks. And let's not nitpick over who's Dr. this or Dr. that, and stick with the mothafuckin' program. Which is rolling down the street, smoking "indo", and sipping on gin and juice. Laid back, of course, with one's mind on one's money, and one's money on one's mind. Good.

ah ha! I see we have a comedian trying to turn my 7th grade joke on its head. Erik I have no use for the care packages you keep sending me, the homecrafts are nice but perhaps it you could get more mileage than I! Iain's totally doggin' you, brah! Hey, it's Friday! Can the Doctor get a "hell yeah!"?

Did we not settle out of court about this, Mr. Morris? And did you not also sign a very thorough and specific nodisclosure agreement thereabout? Do you want to tangle with the AmazingCo, Inc. legal team again? Is that it? Please, for everyone's sake, reconsider what you just said.

DFA's not getting anything more out of it than that it is pseudo-intellectual babble, or perhaps genuinely intellectual but still babble. What exactly is your point of contention with this babble?

Dude, take it easy on the glue, holmes. Shit will leave you in bad shape. Just look at Trask, for God's sake!

Well? How long did your doc tell you to wait? Dr. Flash Amazing wouldn't second-guess the recommendations of another practitioner. That would be grossly fucking unprofessional!

Oy vey. Just learned what that was via google. Glad you're done with that! Anyway, opinion on recovery times like how? As in, how long should one wait after working out? Or as in does surgery take too damn long to recover from? Or what?

What's your deal, RG2k2?

Oh, oops, a little shoulder surgery, huh? Gotta train carefully!

Shit. Well, if it works, why not? Dr. Flash Amazing is just not good at structured, regimented training. He may lose out on ultimate sending ability, but the super-organized training routines just aren't very much fun. Bouldering V10 would be awfully cool, though.

Just be smart about it and don't do a bunch of crimping. Work on open-handed grips and slopers and you'll be safe. Cam = 3 quickdraws! Oh, and the Dave Graham hangboard thing on climbx is the feature for February 6th called 'Small Amazing Things'. Ch-ch-ch-check it.

How? Anyway, what was that shpiel even about? Seemed like some bland pseudopoetic rambling about nothing. Did it have something to do with an exhibit or something? Why, Puget? WHYYYYYY?!!!

Right, but not too many music stores are going to tolerate someone who can't play the drums coming in and trying to play their fave Led Zeppelin cuts for 20 minutes.

Trask, have you been not drinking?

'Cause they're too black? You're suffering from fear of a black planet, aren't you?
