A great link for managing the fear

That's way better than the way that I did it. I basically just used a wakeboard with a regular rope and handle tied off to a big tree/rock/whatever. The riding was great. But the real terror was when you quit or fell. Riding through a rapid with a board strapped to your feet and no lifejacket was an exercise in panic.

Sounds like the info I got was bogus.

Absolute hearsay, but: Heads up. I have a buddy that just moved here from Hawaii and has found out that most dealerships won't take in a car in trade if it came from the islands. Not just rust (doesn't matter brand, they all rust there), but the roaches breed in them and are very difficult to get rid of. I think that I called on that same truck last week, and my friend said to run away if it was from there.

You guys are all wrong! You should rent. Then you can have extra cash every month. Buying a house is too expensive. BTW, if you are looking for a small studio, I have one of my apartments coming open in North Bend for rent in Sept.

King5.com claims to have live video of the rescue op. My machine won't play it, but yours might.

Naw.. I'm waaaay too lazy for that kind of verification... I saw the stuff and then read Greg's post. It seemed to be close to the description.

Gear for sale, maybe it's yours?

most detail I've seen Seattle Times

Well obviously that's the proof we needed. Dan - style. Get over it. I would suggest that you are wrong and it is ultimately ridiculous that you are ascribing bad motives to people you don't even know, just because you don't like how they set a route.

I'm going up to Whistler for a weekend vaca with the family and wouldn't mind sneaking in a few routes. Probably just a bit of sport cragging, but I've never climbed up there at all. Should I bring trad gear? Any recommended areas/routes? Should I bring more gear or are there some fun sport routes? Appreciate any useful input.

Stop trying to be so cheap. Those muiras were $36.50 + tax.

Took a couple of friends for an overnight hike/camp trip this weekend and parked at the Teneriffe Road/Trail head. When we came back yesterday, my Yakima Mega Warrior cargo rack was gone off of the top of my car. First suspects were two hiker at the trailhead that we talked to. This sucks! I actually used that all the time. Its a long-shot, but if you see anyone trying to sell one or someone that newly "acquired" a used one, please let me know. And if you took it, no questions asked if you return it. If I see it (it is marked, I will recognize it), do not be surprised if you accidently suffer some serious vehicle damage when I recover it.

That sucks... I've only ever had good experiences at Les Schwab, but it sounds like they owe you big time.

This is confusing. Did another stud break on your way home? Were they supposed to know that another one would break? Or did they leave a broken one in the drum?

How did you get started with the Yoga? Resources? I'm interested, but know nothing about it.

cash poor... want to trade anything???

I love this stuff... Classic CC.com debate.

When I drove up there the other day, it was pretty clean. When I drove back out a few hours later, there was a huge pile of freshly dumped trash about 2 miles from the main road. Idiots.

Any way to get some captions to tell us the locations of the pics??

I used to think that it wasn't that big of deal either Lummox. Then I met a guy in Mexico who "used to" climb. Turns out he took a fall, a backclip came undone and he grounded from 45 ft. He was blind and paralyzed for 6 months and then just blind for another 6. I never let a backclip go anymore.

I'm really just going off his (Garth's) website...
