  1. On the money! Woot! Acme mapper for the win! Here is the trial and sweetwater spring location.

    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.

     

  2. 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.

  3. Onion editor Will Tracy's take on it:

     

    "The Iranian news agency, Fars, is a subsidiary of The Onion. They have acted as our Middle Eastern bureau since the mid 1980s, when the Onion's publisher, T. Herman Zweibel, founded Fars with the government approval of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini. The Onion freely shares content with Fars and commends the journalists at Iran's Finest News Source on their superb reportage," Tracy joked.
  4. 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.

     

  5. 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: "

    "For more on this story: Please visit our Iranian subsidiary organization, Fars."
    (Link not working since the Iranians discovered that the story was a joke they took it off their site. LOL

     

    "I like him better,” said West Virginia resident Dale Swiderski, who, along with 77 percent of rural Caucasian voters, confirmed he would much rather go to a baseball game or have a beer with Ahmadinejad, a man who has repeatedly denied the Holocaust and has had numerous political prisoners executed, than spend time with Obama.

     

    Opps, forgot that part. LOL

    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)

     

    " [font:Arial Black]"Gallup Poll: Rural Whites Prefer Ahmadinejad to Obama"[/font]

     

    TEHRAN (FNA)- According to the results of a Gallup poll released Monday, the overwhelming majority of rural white Americans said they would rather vote for Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than US President Barack Obama. "I like him better," said West Virginia resident Dale Swiderski, who, along with 77 percent of rural Caucasian voters, confirmed he would much rather go to a baseball game or have a drink with Ahmadinejad than spend time with Obama. "He takes national defense seriously, and he'd never let some gay protesters tell him how to run his country like Obama does. "According to the same Gallup poll, 60 percent of rural whites said they at least respected that Ahmadinejad doesn't try to hide the fact that he's Muslim. "

     

    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? :lmao:

  7. 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.

  8. What this fellow is pointing out, right at you!, is that what he's got going is just a more blatant form of sport-climbing: permanently-established convenience fixtures that appeal to the masses who prefer presumed safety and a short learning-curve rather than the "leave little trace" ethic practiced by most other outdoor pursuits. Ain't it ironic how so many sport-climbers probably object on environmental or aesthetic grounds to via ferratas....something not all that dissimilar to what they themselves perpetuate? Yah...I'm pretty sure that's the point he's making, but he probably won't subscribe to cc.com because he's unwilling to be ruthlessly attacked for having a minority opinion on this site.

     

    I'm speechless. Some British guy at Needle Sports has a brief write up you should read.

  9. Nice to see you and Jeff! After we talked to you in the parking lot, Dennis H and I ascended cruisin' start to the SE corner. As leader I came across the belayer for party number 2 at the base of the slab pitch. He was stuck there for 2 hours before he got to move.

     

    :noway: Whoa! 2hours?

     

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

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

     

    Washington State is considering being the first in the nation to make its Parks Department self-sustaining. As recently as 2009 the legislature appropriated $94 million toward the operating budget of the state’s 117 parks. But now, facing a $3 billion budget deficit, Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire is proposing cutting funding to zero.

     

    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!

     

  12. - a fun challenge to try to make it all the way through the vast jumble of the middle elliot, just below the n face gullies

     

    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!

  13. I'm not on the Romney boat, but I dislike him less than I hate Obama so he will get my vote.

    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). :grin:

     

    Gary Johnson voter here. Won't denigrate either the of the eventual winners though.

  14. 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/

     

    Almost every politically-aware person on the planet is puzzled by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's bizarre obsession with Iran. Netanyahu is risking his political career, his reputation, and Israel's future by intervening in the US presidential elections.

     

     

    He is using all of Zionism's considerable might - including organized crime assets like “Las Vegas Godfather” Sheldon Adelson - to force Obama to attack Iran; or, failing that, to make sure that Obama is defeated by the Zionist puppet Romney. There are even rumors of Israeli-sponsored assassination attempts on Obama.

     

    Even the rabidly pro-Zionist Jewish Daily Forward has editorialized:

     

    “It’s difficult to recall a time when an Israeli prime minister has inserted himself into a presidential election campaign in the way that Benjamin Netanyahu has. It’s even harder to recall a time when a trusted ally openly urged the American president to undertake a questionable, unpopular and highly risky war. We sure hope Netanyahu knows what he’s doing, because the stakes for him - and for the two nations he professes to care about the most - could not be higher.”

     

    The Jewish Daily Forward has good reasons to wonder whether Netanyahu knows what he's doing. The editorialist cites polls showing that the American people strongly oppose attacking Iran, even if war breaks out between Iran and Israel and only US intervention could save Israel! These polls show that American voters no longer give a damn whether Israel, which has chosen to live by the sword, finally dies by the sword. As Dave Lindorff observes, Netanyahu's mad obsession with pushing the US into yet another unwanted war for Israel “may have fundamentally undermined the long-standing 'special relationship' between the US and Israel.”

     

    And still Netanyahu continues on this seemingly suicidal course. He even orders the Mossad and its CIA assets including Gladio veteran Terry Jones to unleash a rabidly anti-Islam film, spammed into the faces of every Muslim on the planet via millions of dollars of computer server time and intelligence agency expertise - an obvious attempt to fan the flames of Islamophobia and pave the way to a US war on Iran for Israel. Obama, who is on record saying he hates Netanyahu and that Netanyahu is a liar, and who knows that Netanyahu manufactured the “Innocence of Muslims” crisis to try to get Romney elected, responded by refusing to meet with Netanyahu in New York, and going on the David Letterman Show instead. A more blatant snub could hardly be imagined.

     

    So, what in the world is Netanyahu really up to? Does he actually believe that Iran has a nuclear weapons program, even though the CIA has certified that it does not?

     

    Of course, he doesn't really believe such nonsense. Even hard-line Israeli strategists admit that Iran appears to be only developing nuclear expertise, not actual weapons. Furthermore, Iran has not attacked another nation in centuries.

     

    Since the “nuclear crisis” is a hoax (like alleged Iraqi WMD in 2003), then what is the real reason for Netanyahu's Iran obsession? Is it the Iranian government's support for anti-Zionist resistance groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, and its calls for an end to Zionism through free and fair elections?

     

    Perhaps. Iran's open commitment to principled anti-Zionism represents the nearly unanimous position of the people of the Middle East, who have never accepted the genocidal Zionist entity as a legitimate state. Israel has been able to bully every other government in the region into shameful silence. The Islamic Republic of Iran will not be silenced. Threats to level Iran with bombs seeks to send a message to future Middle Eastern governments: Do not give a voice to your people's resistance to Zionism, or else!

     

    But while starting a war might seek to punish Iran for its anti-Zionism, such a war would carry terrible risks for Israel. In the impossible event that all goes well for Israel on the battlefield, the suffering of the people of Iran would probably shame the world into turning against Zionism even more sharply than the world turned against apartheid in the 1980s.

     

    But there is no guarantee that things would go well for Israel on the battlefield. Iran has the capability to riddle Israel with rocket attacks, or even to take out Israel's Dimona nuclear facility and perhaps render Israel and much of the surrounding region permanently uninhabitable. And Israel does not have the capability to seriously damage Iran's nuclear energy program without US help. If the US intervened on the side of Israel, Iran could shut the Straits of Hormuz, and possibly sink many, if not all, of the ships there with Sunburn missiles, driving gasoline prices over USD 10 a gallon and paralyzing the world economy. Additionally, Iran has the capability to massively attack the US bases that surround it, killing thousands, if not tens of thousands, of US soldiers. A US president, especially one who dislikes Netanyahu and puts America's interests ahead of Israel's, would be very unlikely to help Netanyahu attack Iran.

     

     

    Given that a war on Iran is an all-loss proposition for Israel, why is Netanyahu fanatically fanning the flames of war, to the extent that even his American Zionist cheering section is baffled and embarrassed by his behavior?

     

    Some question Netanyahu's intelligence, arguing that he is just a furniture salesman who has been promoted far beyond his level of competence. While there may be some truth to this - I certainly wouldn't want to overestimate Netanyahu's intelligence - I don't think he's quite that stupid. I think Netanyahu has a very good reason to prefer war with Iran, despite all its risks, to peace. I think he does know what he's doing.

     

    Netanyahu needs the 9/11-triggered 100-years-war on Islam to continue for the very good reason that if it does not, the State of Emergency still in place in the US will be lifted, and Americans, unencumbered by the National Security restrictions of wartime, will quickly learn what really happened on September 11th, 2001. That possibility poses a very real existential threat to Israel - and to Netanyahu.

     

     

    As Alan Sabrosky, former Director of Strategic Studies at the US Army War College, told Press TV: “I have had long conversations over the past two weeks with contacts at the Army War College, at the Headquarters Marine Corps, and I have made it absolutely clear in both cases that it is 100 percent certain that 9/11 was a Mossad operation. Period. If Americans ever know that Israel did this, they are going to scrub them off the earth.” And even if Israel were “scrubbed off the earth” peacefully through a one-state solution, Netanyahu would certainly hang for his role in the 9/11 attacks.

     

    Unfortunately for Netanyahu and Zionism, Dr. Sabrosky isn't the only US National Security insider leaking the truth about 9/11. A very large number of military and intelligence people have come forward.The two biggest recent leaks are revelations by CIA asset Susan Lindauer that the CIA had detailed foreknowledge of 9/11 and attributed the controlled demolitions of the three NYC skyscrapers to “those goddamned Israelis”; and the assertion by Gwenyth Todd, who worked beside Richard Clarke on the National Security Council, that Clarke (who was publicly fired from an earlier job for being an Israeli spy) is the top suspect as hands-on controller of 9/11 from the US end. Yes, you heard that right: Richard Clarke's colleague on the National Security Council, Gwenyth Todd, suspects Clarke of masterminding and running the 9/11 attacks. If Todd and other high-level sources are right about this, Clarke's book title Your Government Failed You is an understatement.

     

    Some of the same high-level sources who point to Richard Clarke as the US boss of the Israeli-instigated 9/11 false flag operation also claim that President Obama, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dempsey, and other powerful Americans are considering exposing the truth about 9/11 during a second Obama term. In other words, Obama's re-election could put Israel out of business, and get Netanyahu hanged from the nearest lamp-post.

     

    No wonder Netanyahu is “overplaying his hand” by doing everything he can to get rid of Obama. And no wonder Netanyahu is desperately trying to throw gasoline on the “clash of civilizations” fire and trigger war with Iran. A huge Middle East war, no matter how destructive, would maintain the wartime State of Emergency in the US and impeded the inexorable revelation of America's biggest state secret: That American traitors, including Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George W. Bush, Richard Myers, and others, helped Israel blow up the World Trade Center, bomb the Pentagon, and kill 3000 Americans on 9/11.

  15. Still waiting for the proof kids!

     

    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.

  16. 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.

    I have not gotten a view of the originals yet, the web site hosting them has been down due to extraordinary heavy traffic.... imagine.

  17. i actually think it'd be neat if all the cc.com beatards kept a day-by-day journal, updated each time so you could see everything at a glance, so, at the end of the season, we could compare our years

     

    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.

  18. 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. :grin: (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

  19. I don't proclaim to know about being a leg humping office sycophant, so why don't the armchair quarterbacks kick back and leave the getting killed to us; the guys who are told not to shoot back...
    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. :grin: 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.

     

     

     

    As I understand it, some of the embassy guards doing external security are local citizens/contract workers, and are not allowed to have real ammo in some cases. I have not confirmed this, so it could be wrong. .........
    Not to be an asshole Bill but you don't know shit.
    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..

     

    BY: Adam Kredo

    September 13, 2012 4:40 pm

     

    UPDATE: A Marine spokesperson at the Pentagon denied reports that U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition in a statement to Fox News Thursday.

     

    Pentagon Lt. Col. Chris Hughes told the outlet: “The ambassador and RSO (Regional Security Officer) have been completely and appropriately engaged with the security situation. No restrictions on weapons or weapons status have been imposed. This information comes from the Det Commander at AMEMB (American Embassy) Cairo.”

     

    The statement came in response to reports that U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition.

     

    Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any U.S. military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.”

     

    Time magazine’s Battleland blog also reported Thursday that “senior U.S. officials late Wednesday declined to discuss in detail the security at either Cairo or Benghazi, so answers may be slow in coming.”

     

    If true, the reports indicate that Patterson shirked her obligation to protect U.S. interests, Nightwatch states.

     

    “She did not defend U.S. sovereign territory and betrayed her oath of office,” the report states. “She neutered the Marines posted to defend the embassy, trusting the Egyptians over the Marines.”

     

    While Marines are typically relied on to defend U.S. territory abroad, such as embassies, these reports indicate that the Obama administration was relying on Egypt’s new Muslim Brotherhood-backed government to ensure American security, a move observers are questioning as violence in Cairo continues to rage.

     

    Marc Toner, the State Department’s deputy spokesperson, did not respond to a request for comment from the Free Beacon. White House National Security Council spokesperson Tommy Vietor also did not respond to a request for comment.

     

    The U.S. ambassador to any nation ultimately decides whether Marines are authorized to carry ammunition, according to a GOP national security adviser knowledgeable about American embassy protocols.

     

    “In the end, the ambassador of any country has the final call on what to do in a country,” the source said. “The buck stops with you. You make every decision.”

     

    Security procedures are subjective and subject to change depending on locale, the source said.

     

    Each ambassador, in consultation with their Regional Security Officer (RSO), sets the policy regarding the rules of engagement, according to the adviser. The RSO is responsible for coordinating all security measures and reports directly to the ambassador in any given nation.

     

    “A decision or order to set rules of engagement that you can’t carry live ammunition and can’t engage violent crowds climbing over your walls and tearing down your flag stems from direct orders from the Chief of Mission and possibly whoever the Chief of Mission reports to,” the source explained.........

     

     

    ....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. :grin:

     

    Seen here in an Egyptian state owned paper before the SHTF there.

    cover-1.jpg

    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.

     

  20. how many "years of accumulated dirt" are we talkin' 'bout here? I don't keep slings for more than a year or two...

     

    running 'em through a rinse cycle won't hurt 'em...

     

    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.

  21. 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.

  22. I don't understand why having snipers out during a high profile event is a big deal. I think you would be surprised by how often this happens. Now, they being Army snipers might be odd; possible violation of the posse comitatus act. Sure they were National Guard or someone else?

     

    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.
