Burrrrrrrrr

Last fall there was some discussion about the Tree Route on Eight Mile Butress. I can't find it in Search. How many pitches? If I remember correctly, it's pretty moderate, near endless, chossy and easy to bail at any point. correct? Unfortunately, I don't have the Leavenworth guide. Any beta would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Try out the new Calexico disc, so good. Also I'm all over the new Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks.

I'm wit Minx

Well in the meantime... somebody a while back had mentioned something about bowling as an all ages pub club diversion. I asked the manager over at Sunset Bowl about intrest. Before I knew it, she handed me coupons for twenty free games. I think if we ask, they'll work out something for a happy hour price on beer (happy hour is normally 3-7.) Any interest?

Just tune into the Pub Club thread at the beginning of the week and be ready to on Tuesday.

Before everybody rushes off to try and explain Fall Factor see this. Every time I ask this question, I get somebody rushing to explain what FF is. I understand the concept, but I don't understand why it's relevant. Let me rephrase that... Seems to me, what's most relevant is shock force. Let me draw out an example. I'm on a short leash, 6". I stretch to place an omni, I slip, I fall 12". Fall factor = 2 in this case. Shock force, modest, maybe 2 Kn. That's enough to rattle me, maybe throw out a bad back or induce a case of whiplash. Now, a more extreme example, I lead 10' up, slip, and fall 20'. Fall factor = 2. As the Thai say, same, same... but different. This time, the shock force is significantly higher, maybe 9 kN. That's enough force to break gear or possibly hurt myself. I'm not trying to discount the importance of understanding FF, but it seems to me the thing I should be most concerned about is shock force. That's a tangible number that's gonna tell me if I can really hurt myself. Am I missing something here?

The Buck's more a Duccatti stop, Teddy's is a Norton shop, and the Alki's the place to pose with a hog My vote's for the Buckaroo. That way I can stumble home.

Go Dru, Go!

Task, your stats are gone, damn it!

How about just "a lot of people" are gonna die. That's fucked enough isn't it?

There's our goddess, cool gremlins and all...

The Sloop =

And I was so hoping to vote "FOR"

I'd agree with that

Oops, my bad... Dave's right. If coming from 520, take the first exit, right at the stop sign, left at the light. Grady's will be on your right around the bend.

Per AlpineK, the Montlake bridge may be closed. If so and you're coming across SR-520, take the next exit (Roanoke I think), at the light hang a right and head down the windy road (Interlaken), at the stop sign at the bottom, you can either go straight or right. Grady's will be in between where these two intersect 25th Ave (or 24th or whaever the name of this arterial.)

Bummer, that sucks. I guess this stresses sticking with your partner (no matter how big a pain in the ass they can be.)

Show up at PubClub and you may find a taker. There's an impromtu one going on tonight at the Wedgewood Alehouse. Otherwise, tune in on Tuesdays for time and place. Ahem,

While I am a boarder, I'm not about to spray, cuz what JoshK says, is... um, true.
