Link Expensive Santa Cruz Mountains search finds stoned teen Wednesday, April 30, 2008 (04-30) 05:28 PDT Santa Cruz, CA (AP) -- A mother's frantic 911 plea for help finding her injured teen son lost in the Santa Cruz Mountains led to an expensive search that ended with rescuers locating the youth stoned on drugs. Eighteen-year-old Matthew Rosenberg had used his cellular telephone Monday night to call his mom and tell her he tripped, broke his leg and was lost. But Cal Fire Capt. Bill Finch says the Los Gatos High School senior didn't break his leg, adding the teen had apparently swallowed hallucinogenic mushrooms, possibly dropped some acid and just "thought" his leg was broken. Finch says the teen "was really gorked" when rescuers found him standing at the bottom of a ravine. The cost of the search was estimated at up to $10,000. The teen's father Mark Rosenberg says the boy will be punished, adding "he probably won't get to use the car for a while." " _______________________________________________________________ Now you know what $10,000 will buy you. ___

Woooohhh, the last one I opened had "For Hendershot" on it. Now I get it.

YES. It's the basest form of pandering, in that everyone has to pay anyway. They will need to make that money up elsewhere ot borrow it from the Chinese in the form of bonds like they do currently. McCain is looking less and less presidential as he stands next to Obama to me, this is Exibit A (or maybe Exibit G depending on how you read the scale).

Just have some strong young stud like Ujahn, John or Bryan (Powderhound) invited in and they'll carry your rope and even you if needed. I'm wondering how much weight you'll save? Perhaps you can gear with like Camp Nano biners and shave all that weight you are thinking of saving off anyway, and still climb on the Joker so you have a single rope? Anyway, FYI, the 7.8mm that Metolius makes are double rated.

Metolius Monster 7.8mm are the lightest doubles (and Twin) ropes out there. Love the lil marking tufts too. That said, maybe you don't want the lightest one for this purpose.

I figured he was on vacation, but it looks like he took a day off is all.

Not an escalation link " MEXICO CITY - Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday that sending a second U.S. aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf could serve as a "reminder" to Iran, but he said it's not an escalation of force. Speaking to reporters after meeting with Mexican leaders, Gates said heightening U.S. criticism of Iran and its support for terror groups is not a signal that the administration is laying the groundwork for a strike against Tehran......" That's "not a signal that the administration is laying the groundwork for a strike against Tehran". Repeat that: NOT. "In recent weeks, U.S. officials have ratcheted up their complaints that Iran is increasing its efforts to supply weapons and training to militants in Iraq. Military commanders in Baghdad are expected to roll out evidence of that support soon — including date stamps on newly found weapons caches showing that recently made Iranian weapons are flowing into Iraq at a steadily increasing rate. Another senior military official said the evidence will include mortars, rockets, small arms, roadside bombs and armor-piercing explosives — known as explosively formed penetrators or EFPs — that troops have discovered in caches in recent months. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the evidence has not yet been made public, said that dates on some of the weapons were well after Tehran signaled late last year that it was scaling back aid to insurgents." No one seems to be aware of this and it has not hit the news yet, but there are reportedly 5 British military prisoners who had been captured in Iraq who were recently transfered to Iran and are currently held in captivity in that country. ...and the plot thickens.....

And let me know when "you people" finally get it cleaned off so I can go climb there.

I APOLOGIZE IF THIS UGLY CAT GOT POSTED EARLIER.

The rain is suppose to taper off Wednesday, anyone thinking of Thurs laps at R. Butte? (assuming sunny and dry)

Do it Frank, please consider this official permission.

Thread drift coming, do not look if you are easily offended. Well Bryan, now I got publicly called out. Ouch. A careful read of my words will have you seeing that I was trying to weasel out of it. I know @3 dudes going down next week who can get up that kind of route easily, but bagged off going despite being asked 4 or 5 times.....cause I'm busy, have a full dance card, and a different tick list.....I'd need 2 solid weeks on Yos granite before I would (or could) launch up a route like that, as old and out of shape pretty much defines my middle name right now, but primarily or additionally I sadly don't have that kind of time right now blah blah blah I'm out of excuses as of now:-) Like all my buddies went up to go do Lotus Flower Tower few years back: I couldn't go due to time restraints and being a dad, which as it turns out wasn't a bad thing as they had total shit weather for 2 weeks, came back with some nice pics in that you can almost see the tent through the snowflakes with them bivied on the ledge 1/2 way up in a full on whiteout-blizzard and some stories of sliming up a running water mossy unprotected chimney at the start. That's on my list too anyway, but didn't have time then. Might have time next year for one of these routes but I heard I'll be even older then. (thats an unconfirmed rumor) You are going to be so damn strong living next to Yos, Needles and Pinnacles......damn thats awesome. I'll try and block some time for a valley trip next year, lets co-ordinate it so some of your PDX bros and hoes can show (John F just Pm'ed me about this route too for instance). I have some friends who regularly get sites in time sequence and head down, some are there right now. And now....back to our regular programing.....

Shit yeah Minx, I been workin' out like this every evening from 10-7 am or so. I hasn't made me strong like John and Marcus though. Maybe I need to lose the down comforter, blankets and flannel sheets?

well, I think 8 times, some bad-assed routes too: however, I'm waiting to see the pics......

REI Sale link Is it time for me to get a pad, or shall I continue on the potential ankle breaking bouldering and come to grips with reality? In either case, if you want one, here ya are.

No shit, John RULES! Awesome dude. DON'T BE HATIN Rudy, you need to get out with the guy, maybe his enthusiams can come off as chestbeating on paper, but in real life, his real persona with all that enthusiasm totally rules ! JF is #1 in my book, and I haven't been out a lot with him, but been out enough so thats what I know. BTW, 'nother side note to get off topic on all this bashing and hating, but on that El Cap thing and Pink: dude toped out on Zenyatta Mendotta on CHRISTMAS FUC*ING DAY YOU FU*KING PUSSIES. FULL ON CONDITIONS WINTER ASCENT. I get shrinkage thinkin' of it.

Nice work! Sweet sweet granite pics?

*cough* cough*. Can we put an "old" exclusion in there? So it would read, "Easy" or "Beginner, or Old". I'll add my dream route. West Face of El Cap, on sight, ground up, no falls in a day. Unfortunately, when I was getting up that grade ground up no falls on sight, and after driving down with a stronger partner, we hiked to the base and he bailed. I tried the whining, tried the crying, tried the begging, I think I even tried the yelling. (we're still buds though to this day) One of the nice things about this site is seeing others fly up the thing in good style, was reading David Triplett and Ben Priestleys run up the route in a day last year for instance. Vicarious happiness.! I'll most likely get to do some climbing with Ben this year too, so it's all good. Now I have other priorities and a big to do list so I'll most likely never get up that route, but it isn't off the list, just cause I can't get to it. [/snivelling and whining] ________________________________________________

yeah yeah yeah

The Dubliners and the Pogues pretty much did a great job. Love the brogue. Jerry Garcia, to me, was and is a reminder that no matter how bad you suck, 90 percent of success is just showing up. Gives all of us with mediocre talents and skillz hope.

Shheeeese, I think that I like Thin Lizzy better than than that one, but I think I like them all, heres Lizzy, sort of a time machine period piece. 00kz_SOV7fo
