heh heh! right here fellas: Link

Post em up! Don't think of it as having a longer penis as much as if your stuff gets stolen, you'll be able to show the insurance folks and get replacment $.

Arch! Got cams! check your PM's. (they didn't come cod so I need to send you a check)

Shirt front should say: I PISS EXCELLENCE! Back: I FUCKED PARIS HILTON! You'd fit right in. ______________________________________________

Ground up hand drilled Hilti?

Everyone else got to say their piece about it. Thats mine.

These don't really do the runout length or steepness justice. Ask Jim, he was there. The moss and grass shows up pretty clear.

the guilt this is josephs route, wasn't everyone giving him shit for putting one in on an existing route? Yes, because you could wander over and clip it from 2 other routes. So that ground fall potential was eliminated from all 3. However, he pulled the bolt so feel free to ground. IMHOpinion, less folks will try a route that needs a friggan crackNup for the 1st piece way high up, and the moss will now be re-accumulating on the route.

JB, I'd almost have to write a book! Touch base when you're in town and I'll just tell you what I've learned. Main thing: you don't have to hit or spank. It's OK to keep that in your bag of tricks and you might have to use it one or twice when you get a head on conflict, but it's unnecessary as long as you pre-think what you want from them (at any age): so that it makes rational sense and has a valid reason that any rule or fiat is in place, and you are clear up front with expectations. Hafilax - I don't think what you said is an attack, great points. I wanted well adjusted, happy, good people for kids....the A was only the icing on the cake, I totally agree with you. Both of my kids are liked by their peers, and show me beau coup respect and love to this day. Jeffw nailed that one. So true! Muff and Stefan: thanks! Joseph, I'm about geared up now! Bought a "trad" chalk bag at REI yesterday which just about finished my gear needs off. The knee still has this interesting bump on it, but the lad, Ujahn and I were just last night doing some runs in the blizzard, it's was great. Best part (other than the kid can hang with Ujahn when I wash out), get to the car, lift the right ski pants up, kneel down and voila, Ice the leg! Jumped in the car and took a nap and they showed up 3 min after I woke up! Perfect timing.

pickled eggs? No Pink, the correct answer is "IF MY BOY SAYS HE CAN EAT 50 EGGS THEN MY BOY CAN EAT 50 EGGS" I'm just glad John Frieh and Marcus are too busy working out and climbing to be posting - cause I understand that they are so damn tough right now from doing crossfit that they can just LOOK at a beer bottle and open it.

Oh baby thats great! Classic JT ! I've probably been to that place 10 times at least and do not have a single pic. Damn I loves me the new digital cameras! Here's Joseph in 100 degree weather, sweat was dripping off of both of us, him leading and me just belaying, on the second go round after he and I had been out the previous week and he'd FA'ed "The 3rd Rail" at Beacon the summer B4. It doesn't look it, but thats one of the rare rests, it's steeper than this pic shows and the route is solid 5.10 in the upper section. Here's the first piece. Ujahn took the pic. It would have been a bolt, but all you dudes got so cranked at him for adding one that a person could clip from Reasonable Richard and Local Access that he pulled it out. So go do it, remember that 40' up, you NEED a Crack N Up. Don't F*up or fall. I wish there was a bolt.

Directions to Trout Creek removed, vanished, out of here, gone

My youngest, my son, Graduated early from High School 2 days ago! His worst subject, English, he got an A in an advance placement class and he's been accepted into college. I AM DAMN NEAR A FREE MAN AND A SUCCESS This was how I defined success as a young person. Raising my kids well was near the top of the list of things I felt was important. Now I must re-evaluate my life, take stock, and reallocate time and money for the future.

Oh it's bad Phillip! Real bad..... How about posting some pics of the new Metolis master cams which are not available yet and stick a for sale sign on em, I'd probably jump for it...

Join me in posting a pic Kevin. Have one with some sunshine in it.

Yeah, and although it pisses me off, nothing I can do till metolius comes with with their stuff as I'm a gear whore.

take em, pm sent

Link here: Maybe age alone is not an issue, maybe you don't need to retire it after 10 or 15 years. Not till you see the core after the sheath has worn off. I wonder why the writer didn't discuss falling on it in actual use -vis a vis retiring it. Discussed sharp rocks, cutting and acid effect on ropes.......

I can do 2 pullups.....in a row! I am, however, working towards 3 (in a row) So there!

Do we have too? I was thumb wrestling a 4th grader the other day and getting my ass kicked.

At this time I have nothing. I would, however, like to see this thread surpass the Denali thread which by now must have over 20 pages of predominantly pointless drifting drivel, and this one has a sharper focus and is closer to all of our hearts. Of course, if someone wants to put something on here about God, I'm sure that page views and posts will soon go through the roof.

BTW, I don't think that posting directions to the place would matter a bit, it's a bit of a haul to get there, and won't get overrun by sport climbing gym rats in either case. You need directions Chuck?

15 people is a crowd? I don't think Bryan went to Ozone when he was here, and has been living in Montana and climbing there and in the Sawtooths for a few years......so figure that in eh?

Kellie, I have seen people who don't do a f*ing thing but complain. They try and tear down and bitch at those who are trying to be productive and work for something positive. Speaking for myself, we should all step up: congratulate and support great folks like you who are trying to be positive and productive, and shun those who's sole contribution is to piss, moan and backbite those who are actually involved. Thank you so much for your hard work, endless thankless hours and for everything you have done for all of us. I hope they find someone half as committed and capable as you have proven yourself to be. You've been a great asset for the Access Fund. Good luck, and hope I see lots more of you in the future now that you will have more time to climb.

What are you talking about. It either is or it is not. And for all intent purposes.....it is not on Sandy. 2 houses off that street Kev. I googled it for you in case your Google function is currently inoperable:-) Google maps says it's damn near on Sandy nah nah nah nah click here 928 NE 28th Ave Portland, OR 97232 (503) 797-1991 _____________________________________________________ How does one do that if they have just fallen 50 feet (and not gotten hurt) and there are on a 12 pitch climb? Does the climber make an anchor and unweight the rope? Isn't this why you always have a portaledge and a pipe and a 6 pack with you on anything over 3 pitches. Nobody waits 10 min. unless they are "working" a route. In that case, they usually lower and shake out, or hand and aid it. I think you don't want to take repetitive screamers is what they are suggesting.
