No one has helped you out yet and I don't understand it either. Sorry. Saw this one. WTF? I'm not ranking on folks who believe this, but what is up with it? Really. Is the increase of the deficit over and above the startling $700 million Bush brought to the table as he left going to cost you or me our 1st and 2nd amendment rights? It's so much bigger than a few right wingers. This seems to be widespread. Wuzzzup? Did the Hamilton Farms guy move down there from Chehalis?

On the video, that "Insurgent" looks like he's got a wheelbarrow. WTF? Is he a farming insurgent?

Good times. Just a heads up - if you are looking to score either a few grand or a great pistol, I understand that the Sig P210 has a SIGnifigant price difference in our 2 countries. They are highly desirable and no longer made.

Words of wisdom.... edited to get out the bullshit unnecessary and mean words.....

edited to be nice. Sorry dude, my bad.

That's called an ass...great view of his ass Kenny.....nice

uhhh, so ...without your cow bitch you're single now. Congrats.

Well you should jut be happy that your prayers and wishes that he lose his hearing were answered Doug, proving that it's only 1 wish per customer so you should have considered that a bit more carefully since Rush used his one wish on getting implants and his hearing back and screwed you wish all to hell! LOL __________________________________________________________________ Meantime, climbing update: the First Ascent -Piss off the bolt haters de Jour tour this weekend went well out at Cathedral Formation at Gothic rocks. 2 pitches, 25 or so bolts. 300 feet about. In pictures. It was a cold day, we started late and shivered anyway. Got back to the car as the sun was just on the horizon or so and the evening gloom was starting. Opps, only 5 or 6 bolts up I fell. Pull the rope, next batter !! Hoping for a clean ascent. Opps:-) still on P1 A little text.... "Who cleaned this shit-assed chossfest anyway? "uhh... you did?" "Did not, wasn't it you?" "Hell no, the rope overhung so bad I could barely drill." "hmmm, that explains all the loose shit anyway, hey, when you come up, bring the crowbar, the brush the hammer and screwdriver and also yank that big pillar off too when you get to it." "OK, I have that stuff and I'm there now.....got the pillar..." (yanking....) "Dude, you're going to pull it on yourself, HEY! be careful!!!" "Thanks for that advice, I wouldn't have considered pulling about 500 lbs of stacked blocks on top of me and it's really helped me to be relaxed now: LOL. Oh shit, there they gooooooo" BAMMMMMM! Benny styling! Must have finally found a solid section and didn't need to be tossing rocks off. Best picture of the day (and only picture of Pitch 2) Ben with goggles on following Ujahn and I on it. The rope has a bag and a wrench in it we hauled up to give you an idea of steepness for this pitch. No falls on P2, great rock. P1 had many big and small rocks pulled off on lead and by both followers. All pics except the goggle and pictures below by Ujahn seen here. The rap off P1 from last June. Yes, it was rap bolted by the Lil Dawg. Not enough bolts as it turned out LOL! You can see the overhang where I fell just left of the rope there. Great view of the Old Witch from the other side. Here's a pic of her as a virgin from before I left the rap anchor. Route name Coe-Priestly 5.10C or so. FA Oct 10th 2009 Ben Priestly, Bill Coe and Ujahn Davisson Gear, 15 draws although we have reason to believe bolts will immediately be added by the next party. LOL!

Their 15 min of fame was up 10 min ago. They ran over time.

"small-brained, 110-pound (50-kilogram) female nicknamed "Ardi." I think I may have climbed with her on a road trip when I was young...did she smell like patchuli oil and pot and have a great smile?

I heard that edgeworksclimbing.com in tacoma already has sport climbing:-) They'll save a fortune on gas.

....pffft: closet right winger...not that I disagree, but that's what these wanks always say when I have an anti-government intervention sentence and they don't know what else to say. So you happen to be right....THIS time! here's a cartoon for you.

Was the truck marked "CAN'T BEAT OUR MEAT ™ ". ? At least we now know where all the Hari krishnas who use to sell hand out "free" incense at the airports have gone. Hari Krishna meat sales. Now that I think of it, don't see many Moonies these days either, maybe they are doing the butchering for the Krishnas....?

...exactly on the money what Don said: and Smith is a good place for them to keep going. Really really good.

I've free soloed with a couple of pieces and a sling....just in case. Haven't ever used the pro yet, and now I'm probably too old to be carrying on like that anyway. As much as aging, seeing some top notch free soloists like Bachar dieing, along with the great climber Dwight Bishop, really changed my mindset. I was in the valley when Derek Hershy fell off the Steck-Salethe while free soloing, but attributed that to the rain that afternoon.

As I understand it, Chouinard learn to drill them from climbers who were drilling the early ones. They use to make a template for climbers to do this themselves. Then Chouinard started drilling them out at the factory. Then they got tired of drilling and just lightened the material. If you have the new hexes, then drilling them may be unnecessary and weaken them as the weight of the early ones was engineered out. Depends which generation of hexes you have....

Blue Steel!

I'm counting that out Prole. Too wing nut even for me. Even if I'm not a rightwinger.

Ouch. How much does just the bar weigh...cause I can get that one up and down like 10 times....in a row!!!

El Cap has been soloed more than once, successfully, with this staying clipped into a piece or 2 as you go system. I think an early speed ascent on Zodiac, but my memory is vague, maybe someone with some brain cells can recall this. Thinking of it makes my nads shoot towards my throat however. I like JH's response, go free solo or full rope solo. I recently used the "Healy method", last Saturday in fact, and found it more reliable than the "Rhythm method": having survived it.

opps, poll, wacked out assassination poll: not assassination Prole. What the hell is up with people? Do they want our system torn down? Cause this is how it starts. I'm with jb on this one. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090929/ts_alt_afp/usitinternetpoliticscrimefacebookobama;_ylt=AimjAnMXPQxdd0rInngTneOs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTNwYzE3cmFpBGFzc2V0A2FmcC8yMDA5MDkyOS91c2l0aW50ZXJuZXRwb2xpdGljc2NyaW1lZmFjZWJvb2tvYmFtYQRjcG9zAzkEcG9zAzYEcHQDaG9tZV9jb2tlBHNlYwN5bl9oZWFkbGluZV9saXN0BHNsawNzZWNyZXRzZXJ2aWM- "Tue Sep 29, 4:08 am ET SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) – The US Secret Service is trying to identify the people who launched an online poll at Facebook asking whether US President Barack Obama should be assassinated. Facebook on Monday shut down the user-generated poll, which was titled "Should Obama be killed?" and offered answer choices of yes, no, maybe, and "If he cuts my health care."........"

OMG, a Moonbat sighting! Nice find.

Fu*kem "Many middle-grade climbers probably enjoy the challenge of protecting routes almost as much as the climbing. There is a great deal of satisfaction in managing cunning placements on a tricky pitch. Top climbers, on the other hand, focus on the ultimate problems of movement on rock. In practice this means that many crags are worked over and pre-protected. At Buoux, the famous limestone area in the South of France, most climbs are bolt protected. As Bart Cannon reported in Climbing after a visit to Buoux: Not only did bolts dot the entire wall, but I realised that many of them were big cemented-in eyebolts... In true sportclimbing fashion, both these eyebolts and the standard Petzls are placed on rappel after top roping to determine their ‘natural’ place for clipping and falling. While some English climbers I met muttered about the climbs being too safe, I never saw them skip a clip, nor felt compelled to myself." -Steve Craddock, 1991 If one doesn't like Buoux, then one should not go there. For myself, I haven't gone there as clipping bolts is way down the list of things I enjoy. However, I quite readily do clip those I come across and in my mind, there is room for both styles and attitudes I note above.
