Jesus Christ! Why are the fucking Marshall's confiscating these vehicles in the first place.... because the original owner used it in a crime or was arrested for a drug offense. You'd think that they would have the forsight to search a vehicle that they confiscated from a DRUG DEALER before they sold it again. Just another reason why the war on drugs and law enforcement officials in the country SUCK NIXON'S DEAD DICK!
I wholeheartedly agree with Dru on this one. I know many people will disagree and call anything that is bolt-protected a sport climb. But slab climbing (pure friction) is a traditional technique that was established in the 60's and 70's. Many of the classic friction routes in North America were bolted on lead with hand drills in the 70's by TRAD climbers. The run-outs are there because they were necessary to establish the route safely (overbolting would have been dangerous or impossible). Preserving the integrity of the first ascent is considered RULE 1 by slab-climbing afficionados. If people can bolt a 5.10 on lead with a hammer and hiking boots in 1972 then you can climb it with sticky rubber. If not go home.
Planning on going to squamish for the weekend. I don't have a partner, the usual suspects aren't returning calls, so I'm hoping someone wants to share the drive and climb cracks all weekend.
Call me this afternoon, or PM soon.

I know it was 1992, I realized that after the fact, fucka. My field area is in the Mojave Dessert. Never saw the scarp though.
Just cuz they make you good at memorizing shit up there at Western doesn't mean that they're training good scientists.
Regardless of its magnitude it's still pretty cool when you notice a quake. I have the music going to loud in my house to notice a 3.4.
Dwayner, are you talking about the Landers earthquake that was in the Mojave desert in 1994?
Aha Northridge. M6.7. Blind Thrust in L.A. Basin. Not much bigger than our Nisqually earthquake, just shallower. When cascadia goes we all are doomed.
Puget, just so you know. The link you gave is to a site full of unintelligible gibberish. They may be arguing an interesting point, but it's extremely difficult to tell what it is because many of the sentences are completely out of context and some are grammatically incorrect.
for example:
"10 will you get 1 that this argument gets repeated in the liberal media a dozen times before the week is out."
