I've taken control of Bill's computer and taken over his body. Here he is climbing in the gorge. What happens in Vegas also happens in the Gorge.

The PSU science bldg has an external stairway that goes 5 stories. Take slings to pro off the handrails as you cruise by. It's a wide ass stem.

Congrats on another year of health and wealth youngster.

Wow how about a group hug?

Good on you for getting on it before the snow flys Pics Marc?

*Cough*crazy*cough Lol

Sorry dudes, ya got hosed in favor of the Beacon Rock crew.

He got money from the stimulus package to get us all stimulated? The Beacon forum is here: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/920321/Beacon_Rock_Thread#Post920321 Porter misspelled it.....ahhhhh hahh moment for all (YOU GOT A BEACON ROCK FORUM!) in 3...2...1.....! Wait, is this just a new way to rope off the malcontents? Wait?!!

This is a copy of a post I incorrectly put on the Rock Climbing thread. YW= Young Warriors. "Yard waste", heh heh the picture shows more moss than rock for sure. Of course we carry axes while rock climbing on occasion, but not at Beacon, it's clean as you can see: Joesph cleaned that one off already (right JH?):-) "Clean" ascents have multiple meanings I suppose. Here's Adam on a FA at a place the locals now call "The Arena of Pleasure" once Adam named it (I forget the route name, but he should have utilized "Yard Waste"). It was "clean" I guess (ground up onsight no falls no hangs). You see the axe on the right, but I think he's got a shovel clipped on the left as well. We call those "lead" shovels, and they get discussed much like any other piece of gear you rack up for a climb. They're about 1-1/2 foot long and have plastic handles to keep the weight down. We just put a sling on the handle and rack them with the cams and nuts, usually behind the cams but in front of the biners. I've heard that the axes are carried as much to fend off the bananas slugs, which are rumored to be larger than many small dog breeds around here. I think that's just an exaggeration. You Washington guys crack me up, in fact, ya all remind me of a bunch of Horny sailors who are lucky enough to live right inside of a whorehouse full of girls who happen to love sailors. As such, you are all hitting on it free all the time and just take it for granite granted that's the way the rest of the world operates. (opps, Freudian slip there) So down here we're all living on a desert island (Beacon rock) which the powers that be make us move off of for over 5 months each year so that birds can fu*k there. See, we're legally forced to actually be out standing out ass deep in the water and we can't even touch that desert island for most of the year. Capish? (Italian slang for "Your alternative is death. Do you understand?") We're just happy to hit on any ol' coconut husk that washes up on the beach. LOL! This Jim Morrison work should clarify it for ya all, (I love that Spirit in the Sky song you posted): "Ill tell you about Oregon rock and the big beat Soft driven, slow and mad Like some new language Reaching your head with the cold, sudden fury of a divine messenger Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of god Wandering, wandering in hopeless night Out here in the perimeter there are no stars... Out here we is stoned... Immaculate." See? Passionate. We is out here in the perimeter, and if you guys were here instead of running around the whorehouse full of beauties anytime you want (north cascades/olympics/darrington/leavenworth OMG please don't make me go on this is painful), you'd be hitting on those coconut husks too:-) Hmm, "Coconut Husks?" was that this route name? "Coconut Husks?" shit that sounds familiar....this one?.... It may be "The Gingerbread Shortcut" but it could be "Vertical Mud" though......that may be it. "Vertical mud" sounds right anyway...hmmmm it was just last week too. See how it is? We show up with a picture and get laughed at by our whorehouse living brothers to the north. We're sitting down here waiting for Beacon to open most of the time as the closure is fu*king us in the ass and just totally loving it when and one of you lucky sailors bitches posts a picture of some clean granite splitter that soars for 10 pitchs. this sign actually identifies some of our better areas: So if you come down here to climb, touch base with a local first so that you can have the right gear and not be like some of those idiots who show up with a large shovel on their rack trying to fit in and get laughed out of the county by everyone. (Skamania county to be exact). Sometimes it seems pointless, as if no one gets on it, you're looking at a yard waste pile next time you come back, it grows that fast.

Dohhhh! I get it, this thread titled "Bacon" is for people who climb at Beacon to post in, it's for Beacon Rock, not Bacon spray. I think it's perfect that it's in spray, as that's what those threads seem to devolve into most of the time. http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/920319/Re_Bacon#Post920319 Kevbone, you've got a new home!!!

LOL! Whuh Hump? [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOe_4mgmyyA 'is name was Abby....Abby someone...yes, Abby Normal! CLASSIC stuff JH!!! _______________________________________________________________________ ps, Justin hit it between rain! Who'd have thunk it? Congrats dude. _________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for sharing that Jim!

What the fu*k is up with those crazy assed Canadians? Is it an inferiority complex and they have to try to come up with their own damn names for everything? [/exaperated rant]

We split a pig that was naturally raised by some folks my brother knows in Eastern Oregon. All of our Pork and Pork type products came from there. It's tougher than your normal pork, and we like it that way.

LOL! OK, but bring some gear with you to smooth your way! ________________________________________________________________ Bingo! That is, if anyone has any money in the future. Folks refuse to eat hard iron like this.

Walla Walla Ken: we might be able to help out, our thing is probably fairly tightly scripted as we want to climb long routes...might not be condusive for an extra person. But I'll send you 4 phone numbers. We're staying at the Luck Lady, straight short down Charleston to the rock. Don't want to be climbing 5.6 and 5.7s though unless by coincidence we are walking by a classic after something else maybe like Frogland and no one happens to be on it. Maybe Lucky Lady, bring a topo for it Ken, I've never done that route but heard some good stuff about it- it's only 5.7 but a lot of it and it's over a 1000 feet long. Maybe Crimson Chrysalis is the easiest thing I want to get on. Whats that? 8 or 9? I need to check with Ujahn too. Trying to work off the man boobs.

*pause over * I heard these were the bastards who squashed the 200 mpg car.....it was invented you know. It's a conspiracy.

* pause inserted *

All hail Ivan...Emperor regent of all things in the Far East... Got to be you dude, everyone else is too smart to walk into that bear trap... ps, Jim needs help to stop smoking and he'll be around longer, thus sparing you for a while longer...

Nah, it was the first one! The old woman. Classic! Let go of the keyboard and go climb Kev!

Whoah! No no, please! Let Jonas Salk or Chuck Yeager be your hero. I'm just a gear whore with more money than brains. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_Salk The hero of all gear whores is over on Supertopo btw. He bought the Birds hammer for $1000 and is going to let folks use it on walls before it heads to the Yosemite Muesuem! Damned Impressive. Talk about setting the bar high...mutter mutter... Wow! Dude is the Mother Teresa of gear whores. He buys the hammer for a grand to help out Bridwell, then will loan it to anyone if thy donate $50 more to the Bird! Woot! http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=990887&tn=0&mr=0

Thanks Porter. BTW, it was a pleasure to watch you climb the awesome East Face line on the Monkey Face, quite the inspiration. It was nice to know that you were a real person. I need to get back on that one sometime. What a nice route. Been too busy to even go to Smith this year. ...I think...I may have gone but don't remember it.

sure is raining hard out there, hope all the bros made in in safe .....WOW!

This is how I wind up with 40 gallons of cider in my freezer or 11 professional quality saxophones for my 4th grade son who was learning how to play back when. My awesome wife just quietly smiles and shakes her head. It's craziness I say, craziness. And it's my turn, so I'm buying it. I did for my family and now it's for ME! There's more.... oh yes...... There is....... But it's others turn to post some pics. Sorry to uncork there. Lost control, hand me a kleenex...hell, make it a bounty paper towel. My turn is over for the day, spent.....unless you want to see some excessive quantity of other bullshit? Yesssss ............ohhhhhh.....yessssssss

OK, I hear that Leeper was going out of business and I went crazy. Then Theron went and made a great version and devalued my precious....yesssss......my precious...... hmmm..... want to see some offset and regular aliens? They may become valuable too.....preciousssssss......
