That one's not my route Farrgo: but I do have a Theron Moses made tuning fork that looks a bit too shiny if anyone wants or needs to borrow it. I would just let the park folks know you are going to replace a bolt due to safety concerns and then do it (ASAP if you're heading up there is my opinion). If anyone feels they want a real pro style bolt plugged in, touch base with JH and go do it together. I have hardware I'll gladly donate to the cause if anyone pleading poverty wants it or needs it, but I'm too busy elsewhere as I look at the coming snowfall (and hunting season too) about to close my spot in the hills to get there and do it.

Does that go for everybody? Everyone who knows me and is thinking of not coming due to poverty, please come and I'll make sure your thirst is quenched. So Yes.

Raconteurs, nice. Beatles right now.

Say hi and I'll buy your first pitcher. You can share it with Denali Dave. I'll be there.

The 3 cam unit, the very thing that Metolius makes to this day, was invented by an Oregonian who climbed a lot at Smith named Steve Byrne. Pretty good guy and an excellent climber. They were made underground for many years by Steve, because Jardines patent was still live. One the patent ended, Steve gave Doug, his friend, at Metolius, permission to make them. Later he started making them as well under his own label- Wired Bliss, after he'd moved to Az. Then he later expanded to 4 cam units as well. At least that's how I understand it to be, but I hadn't seen Steve since he had moved to Az, so most of this is all 3rd hand. I had friends who climbed with Steve a bit, and on occasion I'd get my grubby hands on one of Steve's "illegal" underground loaner TCU's for a route or 2. For back then, 80's, they were the shizz. _________________________________________________________________________ It may. For new bolts, the climbing management plan that climbers and rangers wrote down and agreed too, is that the Beacon rock climbing association needs to approve them in advance, or the park rangers.

Must be a pic of Bill C's rack closet, eh? Nah, my stuffs more disorganized and much more incomplete. However, interestingly enough, you're probably looking at some stuff in that pic Joseph has actually found and just outright bought, donated and shipped to Corsica for Stephan's Nut Museum.

Welcome back KaskadskyjKozak! Yup, it's that time. Last year I got over 300 stings while on rappel. I had a ground spotter @ 300' down and about a 1/4 mile back who said he could clearly see the wasps with his bare eyes, which was a pretty large cloud, rise up and envelope me...... and then the little girl screams and crying commenced:-) Seemed that way to me anyway, he said I was yelling and wildly waving my arms is all... The bastards didn't know that I had killed a nest of their buddies on the trail the previous week after they'd jumped me, the can was still in my car a short hike away...(cue Jaws music as the raid can approaches), partner did the round trip for the spray and we rapped back down and did them all in. Bastards. I checked this year that every MFing one of those assholes was still dead. They were. They leave me alone, I'll leave them alone, but if they go for me, they'd better finish me off, or I'm coming for them. Every damn one of them. That's my policy and attitude.

It is Bryan, the route right above Kenny(?) in yellow shirt, but Jon hasn't yet heard that you finally free'd it back in June and named it after him. He called it open book btw, I found out his original name for it like 2 weeks ago. __________________________________________________________________ Next time then! Saturday was awesome. Damn that shit just scares the hell out of me. Touching the ground is always a joyful reunion.

Catheter bag for a rock?

wow, what bullshit. Glad to see the admin confronting it and shining the light it....

"Anonymity opens up split personality zone Faceless communication online or over phone often turns nice people nasty" Maybe I need to try this sometime.

Party pooper

You would f**n love the valley. Make the pilgrimage, take your family even.

Serenity to Sons of Yesterday may be the best example there. You go from extreme beat out pin scar- to sharp crystal never seen a pin splitter as you get into the Sons continuation.

I don't think they are inflated. They are harder for the grade than most compatible Yosemite climbs IMO (with a few exceptions). YDS = Yosemite Decimal System

Cop was probably a republican. Show up for court and call him a liar.

I haven't done Apron Jam or Mr. Natural since the rockfall, which I understand killed a guy on Apron Jam.

These will amplify noise as well. You can hear animals a long distance away when you crank the volume (and you are hearing in stero!), yet they cap the upper noise limit at 65 db. Pretty trick. Ask Kyle - he was in awe. So you are standing there conversing, blam blam, blam goes the .45 or .223, no big deal.

Link Anyone else smell bullshit?

Hey you're pretty good. Must be all the practice you get at Beacon? See that wide spot top chimney center-left on the loose rock photo you copied? Match it up - this is P2. To the left of that. Far left, behind the tree, in fact, you can see the shadow of that tree here.

True...only too true.

So that we can now change to a long overdue 40 years of pocketlining, union cock sucking, cult supported liberalism. Big F*ing deal. Change: real change. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

And yet they continue to go there anyway:-) Anyone want to play "spy the loose rock?" Folks around here have to make due, so they try.
