Good pussy, yo. You just had to make me say that, didn't you?

Simulations are running. If you want to get skooled come to the IMA for full-court mayhem soon.

Clearly, the answer to the proper question is that it's all about the bushwhackin'. I'ma bushwhack my way to the Maple Leaf neighborhood circa 9pm.

This had so much spray potential. Le beau chat???

A couple responses to your ill-conceived paragraph. -Bushwhacking can involve serious danger. Ask Szy*etc / bwrts about untrustworthy bushes. Haven't you heard of the 'Vegetable Belay'? That can be some sketchy sheet. Ever done the Terror Creek approach? On how many half-rotten, mossy logs have you had the honor of slipping umpteen feet into the undergrowth, fearing for the joints in your legs the whole way? You'll be lucky to land minus only a testicle. -Bushwhacking isn't even proper until you have skis on your back. So I submit it's only properly done by skiers. I heard some 'climber' bitching about the Access Creek approach when he had only descended it. That doesn't even count. Infinitely go against the grain... Bushwhacking majorly helps us escape Tools, chalk trails, encounters with more civilized people, etc. Please don't ridicule it. It is the path to enlightenment. Just to connect my rant with the original thread, 'climbing' is a good excuse to whack some bush.

Ahh yeah... Inspiration looks inspiring this morning.

That second picture there is a GREAT shot of Baker, E!

Whoa look it's a screamer! Between you posting a 'chestbeat' photo and me hyping the fresh, I gotta wonder what it takes to get a rise out of RuMR these days??? If we could get Pope to post here, surely RuMR would spray! Pope come post a picture of a via ferrata! Fuck bolted ski routes! Oh yeah and roped skiing threatens to remove the adventure from my sport, so I gotta give a big to Exum guides. Furthemore, where the hell is ExtremoMtDude?

Speak for yourself; I had a wonderful year.

It's easier if you carry skis.

Before you know it, it'll be all WOOD in the HOOD...

Nice shot of Goode; I think I'll go see if there's a bigger one in your gallery. Gotta go ski Snowking this year...

I could never be imaginative compared to a boulderer. I bow to the supremacy of your intellect, which supercedes the cumbersome hindrances of gear and ropes. One man's pebble is another man's adventure. Nice bike. And finally, I would like to say FUCK YOU. Anyone have any thin plastic tubing for a 50 psi pneumatic actuator handy?

You remind me of school on a Sunday, NO CLASS.

As someone who has said the same thing, I would like to call bullshit right now. You probably already feel better. Great TR!

That's part of the reason why I asked... I took my Dad there for a first 'alpine' climb a few weeks ago and we got to the base of the route just behind a party of, say about 8, Mounties. This lady looks at me and says, "Do you know what you've just done? You're stuck behind THE MOUNTIES!" It was pretty funny; she had a sense of humor about it. So I sat there with my pops and waited for them to get most of the way up the route. It was fun telling him about all these cool niners we could see that just got skied. We simuled most of it, caught them on the summit, then descended before them... no great Mountie inconvenience at all, really. BUT they left a fixed rope across that spot, and I didn't notice it clipped to any bolt. Surely they would have clipped the bolt if it was there? Maybe this bolt has came and went??? Is there a bolt in a superposition of states on SEWS, oscillating between being there and not being there?

Better yet, how 'bout a little P-Funk: Do fries go with that shake? With this booty talk, I'm gonna jam some George Clinton cuts and shake it.

Tat, tat, tat... no, I left the single strands of brand-new webbing since that seemed like a tastefully-performed community service (for the hordes of people who need to rap the whole way down the South Arete ). But nevertheless the temptation was there, my man. That was a lot of pretty, shiny tat. I was fondling the tat, fresh nylon so smooth it made my synapses surge but NO! I resisted the devil's directive. I could hear a voice in my head, 'Sky, come to the dark side of the booty!'

I was just curious if it's been there and I didn't notice it. I'd rather go climbing or skiing any day than pulling, placing, or doing run-out slab climbs clipping, BOLTS.

Bolt:

On the South Arete yesterday, all the old tat was gone and there was one brand new sling on select trees all along the route. Bravo. Additionally, there was a bolt to protect the hand traverse that I hadn't noticed the two times I've been there before. Was the bolt there previously? It looked shiny new. It seems a bit silly to put a bolt there to me, but what do I know? Just to refresh people's memories, pictures of the hand traverse and the bolt follow...

On that note...

Archaic usage matching your bombast, I see. That's more like it Jay. Wasn't that post with all the little green guys more fun? Back to work don't flirt...

Forget this POS thread, DAMN IT Jay, myriad is a FUCKING ADJECTIVE. I expect better from you.

Sounds like a proper dose of adventure. Way to get up J'berg without pulling on the bushes!
