Any thoughts? First thing that comes to mind is why you would want to subject yourself to such torturous widths of cracks? In all seriousness though, I only have up to a #5 BD and have only placed that probably a dozen times in the year that I've had it. I'm a BD fan, because I haven't found another cam in those sizes that functions as smoothly. I have a set of tcu's and they are a bit harder on the trigger finger and as far as metolius goes, they seem to get harder to retract the larger they get. my .02

I can't believe people still talk like this. The American Cancer Society estimates that 178,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2007. Invasive is the bad kind--the kind that very often requires surgery and reconstruction. That is a lot of women walking around with the boobs people are so quick to assume are there for ego only. Very often, those boobs are there b/c in our breast obsessed society, being suddenly flat-chested is just one too many things to stress about after fighting for your life. So ease the fuck up. I don't care if they're real or fake, big or small. As long as I can suck on them :tup:

I was out there yesterday. It sounds like you are on the right trail to start with and yes, with all the bouldering around there appears to many trails. Work your way to the east on the flat trail, then up and over some boulders until you come to a fairly good size bench with a huge overhanging rock with a fire ring below it. Start heading up hill from here and the crag is pretty much straight up. You can see some routes from this flat area which are distinguished by the white streaks breaking the dark lichen covered rocks. I agree in that it is a little tricky to find.

You guys should take climbing more seriously, all that fun you were having is not acceptable :lmao:

Saturday: Took a scenic tour of Leavenworth via WA Pass. Climbed one pitch and assessed bolt placements. Drank beer around the fire with some buddies :tup: Sunday: Climbed a few pitches and reminissed on what it would have been like if I had started climbing when I was 6 years old.

Wakeup, we're talking about breasts not the taco's. And Dru, it's Fish Sandwich:

I just got a new keyboard today at work with a custom spray button on it :tup: When the IT guy asked me what it was used for, I told him it was so that I could be cool like the other kids.

Did the first pitch (half-pitch) of Straight Street on Saturday with what I would think most people would agree is a definitive authority of bolting in Washington. As a matter of fact, I believe he placed the first bolt in the State back in the 40's or 50's, but whatever. I asked him if he thought the crack was protectable, and he agreed that the bolts were necessary. Now, if you walk a little down the trail, you come across this travesty. WTF!!

Bellevue, not a city? I can't wait until the asteroid hits earth and resets the stupidity meter on this planet If everyone is so worried about their impact on earth so much, just slit your wrists. That'll give you a big fat donut for your carbon foot print. If everyone would just worry about peace and love instead of harshing peeps for driving their SUV's or riding their bikes on the road then we'd all be better off. This planet is going to be around a long, long, long time after this primitive species called humans becomes extinct from their own hand. Might as well enjoy the ride into the black hole while you can :tup:

We should do it in Ballard somewhere so that we can somehow get Jens to hobble over and have a few with us. :tup:

Good times, good times

I can't believe there's not a CC.com window open. WTF!!!

Congats

Do I detect a southern draw there? Lots of areas take this type of gear. Vantage has the wavy, flaring cracks. Index has old pin scars and flaring cracks. They're a permanent fixture to my rack.

Here's another solution to western washington's bear problems: LEGALIZE DANCING BEARS

Archy, it's only in when there's pink tape on it. Geez, you outdoor climbers don't know anything.

They should give you belts instead of shirts. At least then you can say you are a black belt in crossfit

Ultra Brutal. Speaking of bolts. We should remove that manky tunnel door and the bolts holding together the rock above it. Who knows, all the rock fall could make some nice routes eventually

I heard from somebody that a u-joint puller is a good chopping tool. I think it was a little birdy that told me that.

All this talk almost makes me think that Spokane would be good. CA Rockiez/Bugaboos 3-5 hours, N Cascades 3-4, meth, crack cocaine, well maybe not so much Spokane.

Canmore :tup: :tup:

I though this was going to be about how to cheat in the casino's at poker.

That's not difficult. That's just lame.

Trying not to notice Fred using his pee bottle at 3am in the morning.

I think JoesephH and Raindawgy-dawg are arguing that this is the direction it is headed, eventually its going to have to be regulated like Hueco, or shut down in some cases. It doesn't matter if you think it's trash. People who don't climb but make laws instead see it as unacceptable, especially since we can't even agree on it.
