Highs: Did a first ascent Sat after having to change plans due to the rain. It was a surprise as I thought we'd be digging in the dirt all day....at best. Lows. Not getting out with John either day or climbing at all Sun. I did get to move some damn heavy and expensive Eco trust furniture from one Townhouse to another Townhouse, both 3 story affairs while snagging a Persian rug for our own entry way. Also installed 2 bird baths for my mom so that the Coyotes and Raccoons cannot tip em over.

nice pics Ivan, have fun in Seattle Ken, it's better climbing up there.

Who wants to start a poll as to whether Sobo is the Matador or the pillow taster? I'm guessing he's just playing dead in hopes of turning off any potential suitors. That just attracts a long line of Necrophiliacs.

Man, I keep losing my fucking piton, I thought I recognized it as your avatar! Dolt! Done losing it now, it was sent into Ken Yeager at the Yosemite museum courtesy of Joseph and I. SOMEONE IS STILL GETTING SOME MILEAGE OUT OF IT THOUGH! YEAHH! BTW, folks who care like that enough to watchout for their brothers or cairn a route out for a late party RULE!

"On August 6, Potter free-soloed the gently overhanging limestone route wearing a five pound BASE jumping rig on his back. He traversed into the climb along a natural ledge that comes off the northwest arête of The Eiger and soloed the final 600 foot headwall with 5.12+ crux moves at the top of the formation. Dean opted to bypass the lower pitches because they feature loose rock and, should a fall occur, there would not be time to deploy the BASE chute before encountering a 50-foot ledge that protrudes from the bottom of the climb. Below the ledge, the wall falls away for an additional 2,000 feet, leaving open the option of a 15 second flight from higher on the wall." Whoooooooo, planning on opening the chute if things went array...thats F*ing bold dudes! As far as the camera thing goes, so what? Reardon use to just go solo and he caught shit cause he didn't have photographic evidence. Sheese, I guess that it's true you just can't please some folks.

the late/great Dwight Bishop soloed it as well. btw, Dean Potter is one of the nicer folks around.

I suspect that it would be a retelling of the Ice-T song: "The Girl Tried to Kill Me" NSFW. bBOlaYFGH2c

....then 20-30 pages of internet prattling and finger pointing,

Well shit, my moneys on you then Archie, KO in the first round -you'll toss them other bitches out the cage in 2 min or less:-)

He still would have shot it, however, there would have been a close range head shot and a gutting that would have followed that.

I need to speed dial Monika Lewinsky, Dan Rostinkoski, Larry Craig and Gary Hart to confirm this. I thought Edwards being an ambulance chaser-product liability litagator should have tipped you off about this lack of ethics and morality years ago? Why the shock? You sound bitter, take a cleansing breath. Hillary (the real Goldilocks) has the lock on it anyway, except shes doing the haridresser chick with a classic "Fur Trader" thing is that rumor. She'll get Obama to eat the special Mushroom soup and all will be well with her as pres. You'll see, "right as rain"

I'll take K2 expeditions for $500 Alex!

You'd think, but sadly we're all still here....

Canyondweller isn't Mike Adamson? Rudy, you're saying that Canyondweller is a chick? Holy crap! Who knew? In that case, Pink is the one walkin out after kicking the other 2 dudes ass and then having his way with the chick.

Easy one...Canyondweller Who's GGK?

Who told the Bears? They're pissed. Bear attacks woman gardening link

My internet diagnosis is terminal A.G.E. Paul. No one gets out alive.

Didn't show them in 2004 when I did it with my son, but the course was very full, informative and of damn high quality IMO.
