On the money! Woot! Acme mapper for the win! Here is the trial and sweetwater spring location. Geoff imbibing of same: Spring runs year round. Look across the talus. Head for the 2nd set of Maple trees and listen when you get close for the running water. Runs year round.

Old guys, up early for a corner lap to have it to themselves. Find 2 young dudes racked up and ready at the base. Cruisemaster shortcut to the anchors, old dude follows (does full route) in his approach shoes. Still no young dudes? Schweet! Passed cleanly and route to ourselves never saw them. Stopped every 20 steps on the descent, said hi to all the folks. Back at the car at 10:26am. afternoon nap. Went for a walk in the park with the pup. Managed to go all day without a drink! Perfect day.

Onion editor Will Tracy's take on it:

Best glue depends on what rock you are going into. As is noted above, pretty safe bet that any of the 2 part construction epoxy, such as the Simpson sold at Home Depot, will be bomber around here. Here are some links I drug up in 2007 when I was investigating it. Hope that they all work. As you appear to know, cleanliness of the hole is critical as Num1mc reiterates. So is giving enough room for the glue.

OK, Fars took it down. Finally figured out that they'd read a satire story, believe it was true and plagerized it. Word for word. Except they didn't steal, and left out the part about their President being a Holocaust denier and executioner. Whats even funnier is that the Onion saw that their work had been stolen and reported as fact, so they put a link up to the fars news site at the bottom of their story which said: " (Link not working since the Iranians discovered that the story was a joke they took it off their site. LOL Opps, forgot that part. LOL

[font:Arial Black]"Gallup Poll: Rural Whites Prefer Ahmadinejad to Obama"[/font] http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9106242628 Today Fars, the official Iranian (Farsi) news site, joyfully reports the results of a recent Gallup poll (in English). (Note Terahan location in the byline) LOL!!!! Tooo damned funny. Of further interest and of note is that the Onion already broke this story, word for word and a few extra words as well, 3 days ago with a byline location of West Virgina! LOL http://www.theonion.com/articles/gallup-poll-rural-whites-prefer-ahmadinejad-to-oba,29677/ Anyone spot the words which the Iranians removed?

Ok, at least we know you're supplying the brews:-) My brother showed up from a Utah trip with this shirt for me to wear. He knows I love Porters, but I don't think that's why it cracks him up every time he sees it.

I'm speechless. Some British guy at Needle Sports has a brief write up you should read. http://www.needlesports.com/catalogue/content.aspx?con_id=d7376987-c60a-437e-a15a-9c9e00a6a466

Whoa! 2hours? Hey man, good meeting you too. Probably been 25 years since I'd seen Dennis. Little bit embarrassing not recognizing him LOL!

If ever a match was made in capitalist heaven, it's those 2. It will be all about the buck until they start paying off the lawsuits coming down the pike like a freight train down a hill without brakes.

Looks like you all have found a way to help keep the poor at home. Only $2,906,000,000 left to go and you'll have your budget balanced. Elitists rule!!! Good think ya all didn't vote republican or it could have gotten ugly for dem poah folk. How about being the first in the nation to outsource the corrections dept to China? Long term prisoners, lifers, get shipped off? They can be productive and help build Apple products and stuff? You're welcome! Need more ideas? here ya are, flesh these out: *Baby Tax. *Rent a prisoner. *Coke Machines next to the road. *On the highway, where you see those crosses where someone has been killed? Lease the space. Renewal form letters are heavily guilt laden. *Wild Horse uhhh, lets call it the "enumclaw" program, and read between the lines. Double down and get the movie industry involved for some seriously unique man/horse love residuals. Need more? *Legislator shoe shine and lemon aid stand at airport. Staffed by the Jr senators. Hope the gov is reading this, I've just started to brainstorm and look at the magic!

Jesus Christ Ivan. (LOL and insert my open mouth wonderment and a gratuitous head shake along with that chuckle). uhhh, first dude, you might reconsider this piece of advice. You'd really have to pick and choose your days and times on this part of Ivan's advice. Shit can come off up there that is making my sphincter pucker 30 years later.....really. As it's finally startin' to cool off, maybe not so much or so bad right now....but (@##X%!!) I'm gonna sound old here but say it anyway, BE CAREFUL if you chose to play hide and seek with the crap caving off the N side!!! I use to go up there solo on hot days for cooling relief and to just train and condition back when I was young. I'd stay well back from the face! Some of the stuff I've seen come off the N side at various spots and random times is somebitch crazy huge stuff. Massive chunks of ice bigger than fright trains, big rocks at high speed. Stuff isn't survivable unless you're superman. I'd just head up and approach it hiking in from the East side lateral moraine and pick a choice spot and you'll be fine. Also, I'd suggest you consider taking your best binoculars and look for the folks that were lost up there couple of fatalities back. I'd bet that area below the gullies is where they wound up so scan that area hard. This is the best time of year for looking. I'm sure that the family's would be most grateful if they could give them a proper service. I forget their names but one of them had posted here, and was from Dallas, and the other was from NY I think. I could be wrong on that of course, I think Ian was on that rescue, maybe he has some thoughts. Anyway, have fun!

I'm with you all the way up to the Coe part. Then I'm done being interested. 2 glass's of cheap wine here.

Well, you're on the Romeny boat, but you're in steerage with the 1 percenters (ie the 1 percent of the 47% voting Romney). Gary Johnson voter here. Won't denigrate either the of the eventual winners though.

It plays well in Iran. It was right next to a story titled "Israel root cause of all world problems: Iran envoy" from Iran’s Ambassador to Beirut Ghazanfar Roknabadi. ALL the worlds problems he says. I don't see how the Israelis can not slam these guys to the mat before they get another genocide attempt by these hatemongers. http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2012/09/20/262683/israel-seeks-iran-war-to-keep-lid-on-911/

I got yer proof right here. Maybe not....but I'm leaving the pic up anyway. Hope it moves the conversation a bit and you lighten up on the needless name calling Ak Ak. ps, this is Paris, and I got the pic off the net, but did anyone else besides me see the young girls naked, yelling and shaking it by the Rose qtr last night? O la la.

Looks like the next person with balls has stepped up to the plate to accept your challenge and it's a Frenchman. The offices having been firebombed last time they did something similar. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/world/french-magazine-charlie-hebdo-to-publish-mohammed-cartoons/story-fnd134gw-1226476950221 I have not gotten a view of the originals yet, the web site hosting them has been down due to extraordinary heavy traffic.... imagine.

You need some balance in yer life. You should get up there and put up some sweet routes with Kenny, Adam, the Tappets, etc etc etc

I love reading your updates Ivan. Sometimes you make my palms sweat....your 7 freesolo laps in a day...Hesus de Christos man. Anyway, Jeff and I did the old injured man tour lap Saturday up the corner (his knee my shoulder). We pulled in and there was not a single car on the climbers side of the parking lot. We were almost whooping and hollering like when we were kids. Reminiscent of climbing there 30-40 years back and you'd never see anyone all say. Turned out there were 2 parties already which we came up quick on, but they were both kind enough to let us pass so we were car to car in 2 hours and change and they should have seen the approx route so as to not get to far off route. Good times with a good dude.

Glad to see Adam had fun crawling up your dirty hole.....hmmm, that just came out wrong. I'll go get a lap on it once my shoulder starts to feel better just to see how bad you fucked up the protection bolts if nothing else. (I'm kidding, kidding). I want to get a silhouette photo of sitting in that top hole of Beacon Rock, is that possible? I can't get on it if there is even a 1% chance I'll blow some knobs I'll hurt my shoulder real bad. I already did that with your buddy up there just following on the FA of one of the pitches of Excalibur. Between him and Ujahn my shoulder keeps getting hurt. ps, whats the link of that Pro Photographer who took all the shots of you doing the first or second ascent? That was some good work. See if he'll put a couple shots on this thread and a link to his site, I'm not comfortable just stealing it without permission. What was his name? He took some great shots for the constraints he had (ie, shooting in your tiny, dirty, hole) LOL

I'll be blunt then Scott. Without us "leg humping office sycophant's" paying taxes that go directly for it you'd be pointing your finger at nasty dirty bearded yutzes, yelling bang and hopeing for a positive outcome. Ammo ain't cheap. Intel ain't cheap. Satellites ain't either. None of it is. There's shit I'd much rather see my money get wasted on first but there it is. You're fucking welcome for that. That's the viewpoint of many of us leg humping office sycophant's. I was responding to Rob on how they could swarm over our security at our embassys. Marines standing there not having bullets would be one way. Not saying that everyone was disarmed, I'm sure that's not the case. The embassy Marine detachment dudes in Egypt are saying off the record that they were not allowed by the ambassador to have bullets. Now, although I don't know any of them I suspect it might be the truth. You have security (Marines)and you have security (contractors), and you have security (residents), so I don't know the who, what, when, where or why. Nevermind, I do know some shit as I might already know the when, where and why. Check this story and see if it might ring true (I'm only quoting the first part), here's the link:http://freebeacon.com/reports-marines-not-permitted-live-ammo/Says.. ....regardless if if the story above is true, I'd be surprised if you hadn't heard of it. I would suspect that they are running locked and loaded these days given that the ambassadors ass would be on the line. Seen here in an Egyptian state owned paper before the SHTF there. Headline translates to: “The Ambassador from Hell Who Ignites Tahrir Square.” These people clearly have issues. While we are on the subject of money, these dudes are getting 1.6 billion tax free from us these days last I heard. They're welcome for that too, but seeing shit like that incendiary mag cover not being condemned is making me feeling a tad testy on freely tossing greenback their way and I suspect I'm not alone on that.

Huh? Youse dudes need to clarify your sling size. 1" Tubular webbing is good for at least 10 years. Maybe the skinny 6mm and to a lesser extent 8mm dyneema (which is not "nylon") goes only 1 -2 years heavy use, certainly by 3 years old they shouldn't be led on (if used heavily). Should be nothing wrong with washing them with a little mild detergent like Woolite, same as any rope, but that's good advice to just hang them up to dry.

2 thick jackets and long underwear so your pecker don't freeze. No climbing naked today hey?

You boys have fun and be safe. Don't get sucked into the time space continuum again. Didn't Ricky name it "Scott's Hole" LOL!!! Rick McDonald staring hard at "Scotts Hole". Raining, but you don't see it. Sadly, no Leprechauns or Leprechaun gold was found on this expedition. Tim Olsens gorge page:

They were Army. Not guard. High profile Event? The only thing high profile happening that day was the execution of Martin Luther King right at his hotel room. Witnessed and photographed by the Army then they got the hell out of there. You don't find that odd? How about that they never mentioned their presence after the murder. They had pictures and were witnesses and didn't say a damned thing about it. This came out 30 years later. Not coming forward is a crime in and of itself. Tell you what, PM me your mailing address or a PO Box and I'll send you a copy of this book and then tell me what you think afterwards. I can't do it justice, they had over 70 witnesses testifying at the trial.
