Porter, that's pretty good. I will give up my copywrite to the term "microgiveashits" if you want to utilitze that in your post. So it would read "My interest...Sir, can be measured in microgiveashits"! There is of course, no charge for this service, it is my gift to you for all that you have done for climbers throughout the world. However, I ask only that you please vote your multitude of Avatars to vote early and vote often for the route to remain and be left alone.

Raindawg: this question to you yet remains: are you currently working on removing the traces of mankind which are still being put in in Mt Rainer National Park? Cause you can see that shizzel from the moon, and yet you cannot see a single one of those (The Horror)transgressor IB bolts in a close up picture I stole from Dave Burdick and posted earlier.

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.

I knew that, and I appreciate you sharing the history before we climbed: but I thought that the fella had stopped climbing and the rope was still fairly (relativly) new.... besides, I wasn't planning on falling on it. (insert justification here) Often on those kinds of routes, you wind up pulling off a block and taking the ride, or the block does, then at least when that happens, and your rope gets blown, you don't feel as bad as trashing a new one.... BTW, I have some new ones, when we get out together we can use mine for leading and bstachs for rappeling and jugging as we clean the route of blocks and rocks. 1 have an 18 fall 11mil rope that is 6 months old for instance. Are you seeing this bstach, are you OK with these ropes being pressed into climbing service and used for jugging and rapping ? My fat ass goes at approx 165 lbs, we'll be 200'-300' or so off of the deck? Maybe JH weighs more than me and we can see if it holds him first?

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.

touche! BUT, having personally seen a rope part, literally fall apart, under bodyweight only (and the resulting near fatality): and seeing how some others take care of their ropes....ahhh, nevermind, you don't want to hear it....

Whats your life worth?

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?
