You an my wife would get along poorly as you are both too suspicious! I didn't want anything, sometimes I just try and be nice. Anywho, big thanks again rmcwtr! BTW Sean, thanks for representin tonight. I'd never seen anyone pull that "route" on TR or lead...EVER. Thought it was a myth or a joke that it was ever done. (spoken like Borat) Very Nice! I have a "Pro quality" natural bristle brush, next time let me know and I'd be proud to clean it off (on rap duhh) for you before you jump on it. I give good brush.

Thanks for posting luvshaker, unlike many on this site, I don't "know it all" and love seeing pics of stuff that works. I have a set of em and they work well. My biggest issue is thinking they are for aid and then leaving them in my basement. ______________________________________________________ BTW, I tried that penis thing dirty harry mentions and it did work either time.

GREEEAAAT! I'll look for you! Hmmm, gotta think of a cover story for her. Last weekend, I bought her a real nice brand new pair of loppers cause she loves to gargen and the last pair were some made in China crap that barely would cut a leaf, when I handed them over she was suspicious....like she thought I wanted something.

Oy shit Jordop, you guys party down up there! _____________________________________________________________ Kev, I just climbed up to plug the first piece while I waited for the old man at the base to finish pleasuring himself or whatever he was doing. Didn't want to prematurly get my climbing shoes dirty. No: Jims pics suck. Makes me look old, and fat, and and balding ......just different. The pic I have in my head has me at 30 years old weighing 140lbs and climbing 5.12 (or at least hard 5.11) with a full head of Blond hair. Almost don't know who that is. Sorry, what was I complaining about? Might need an index to keep track of all the topics if this keeps up. Oh, Aliens....damnit. You click that link of the pics posted yesterday on ST? 2 out of 12 which were stamped "Tested" broke prematurely. Ya want to hear something sicker than that, I'll probably keep using mine. Heres the pic of that yellow one - a different than the broken one above, the one above broke on a lead fall, almost killing the guy. These were in a testing situation and no one was injured. From pull testing it breaks at 1200 lbs. Hell, I could get 1200 lbs with my fat ass in a toprope fall. s' unfair.

Perfect Sean. I have some elderly issues with my shoulder that the last Breakfast Crack lapathon with you didn't help with - and I can kick back and laugh at you folks and you can work your ass off and we'll both be happy! In fact, I'm gonna go chew some ibuprofen right now to prepare.

I'm kidding:-) Geoff. You want to tie in for a single quick lap even and then head out thats good. It's all good. BUT, if you are feeling spicy, you might run up top and get your pump in via bouldering as you can get trashed in a much shorter time period. Your call, see you tonight.

Sorry Geoff. Min time requirement is 2 hours.

Not as good as plugging in Aliens: My 1st piece, yellow Alien, Saturday (Note that it is still light out) , presumably the rain cloud wasn't quite over us yet. Looks a lot like this one that was also "tensile tested" and fell apart on Soulders Crack. Poor bastard ate some serious dirt....but lived. these pics are from a thread on rc.com.

Did you hear that story about me and the bolts?

Googleing "french Military Victories" use to bring up a screen that said How soon they all forget about Napleon Boneapart (the orginal 'bone). Nasty little yapper.

Sean wanted to work the Healy roof at breakfast cracks area (it intersects Red Zinger). I guess I could do that area too.... We were there last week though. @5:45pm. But it's light until 8.40 easily and you could show and go anytime.

I work hard all my life. Scrimp and save for my kids and family. Finally get ahead enough that I can put myself first and buy some gear I've always wanted but never bought AND NOW THIS KIND OF SHIT POPS UP AFTER I FINALLY GET A SH*TLOAD OF ALIENS. GD IT PISSES ME OFF. 2 OUT OF 12 TESTED ALIENS FAIL IN INDEPENDENT TEST Scroll down to June 11th on the link. G.Dammit it. 3 Aliens up, ran out the last 20 feet on a single Alien and a small Bugaboo - pic from last weekend jumping into it as it was just starting to rain, Before the Storm. WITH MY NEW ALIENS!! (I had 10 pcs in 100'. 4 Aliens, 1 pin and 4 small wired nuts, might have been enough to stay off the deck but who knows.) end rant

Last I heard, Bachar was asking which brand of power drill he should buy. True dat. ________________________________________________________ I haven't looked but I bet Joseph will recommend the one he has: the 36 Volt Hilti more power monster thingy. _______________________________________________________ My question is this: if anyone tries or does to remove the IB bolts, would you who would do that consider a community replacemnt project to do onsite ground up handdrilling to re-establish the route off limits as well?

Sean, Ujhan and I will be running a few laps at the Butte tonight if anyone would like to join us.

don't know.

It seems like about everybody is just worn down and going to other areas to get some climbing in.

All things a rope would do better and faster Plexus.

I will. Others will. Isn't that a pic of the new Bosch Annilator in your Avatar pic?

If I might field this one: All those bolts lead to more people which will lead to every envrionmental issue you bring up. Next....! ______________________________________________________________ Kevin, he's not talking about doing IB and not clipping the bolts, but in fact heading to that area and doing a route, sans bolts. You might cross the IB line here or there, roughly follow it there, but basically shoot for the JH line, which will invarably be somewhat different as it will have to be following natural features. If you had climbed IB earlier, you will be well versed in potential variations and lines to look at the second trip up.... oh, the first part was already answered, guess I need to type faster.

And to further complete that anology, these people learned how to drive a bumpercar in a closed track and just moved into freeway driving with people who learned, practiced and worked at driving, and now - in order to stop the car freeway clusterf*, it appears that some random authority may soon step forward and decide that NOBODY will be allowed to drive so that they can prevent a few cars driven by these shitassed drivers to keep from sliding off the road and killing the occupants.

In response to do Dwayner and Pope still climb. Well Don, first of all, my name is Bill. It's Bill Coe. Not pal. You asked so I will explain it. All I ever see you post is pictures of clowns or PeeWee Herman. Now, don't mistake me, when you're on, which is frequently, you are so damn funny I almost pee on myself. You've got a rich sense of humor and deep intellect. I'm pretty sure you'd be awesome company out and about. BUT, since you asked, except for a few pics of the Don early years, I don't recall seeing pics of you climbing, while just above in this thread even I linked to a pic of Kevbone and I at the rock just 2 days ago. I see pics from Kevin climbing all over, good ones too, and I see TR's I've done of Yos and Red Rocks last few months, but not of yours. You have a big footprint on these kinds of threads however....

They still climb? _________________________________________________________ I agree. The Forest Service did look at this whole issue, evaluated it, and then put it behind them. We should too.

I gotta blog? Where is it I want to read it:-) I put this one in spray yesterday, I'm the dude in blue with the grey 15 year old sale tennis shoes which say, "made in America" on them. (I stocked up on closeouts and wore the identical pair until I could see flesh) My neighbor was just pointing out these shoe facts to me while laughing his ass off at my frugality as he's a designer for Nike. spray pic Regards to all Bill BTW thanks High, but it's OK. I think this has been a good discussion of viewpoints and Joseph and I are getting along fine despite the way it appears here, and have a parallel e-mail private discussion going on another subject (unrelated) which is very amicable, I hope that we are able to give our honest viewpoints in this way (amicably) on this thread, cause at the end of the day, JH and I will be belaying each other, and I intend to give, and hope to get, a great belay. Realistically, some of you guys out there argueing for leaving it be seem to be making some of their points for them.
