Well sure. I mean, who isn't? Life isn't easy or pretty, but it's easy to confiscate the Pot, give the lecture about drugs, and then smoke it yourself eh? I think the importnat thing is keeping the lines of communication open, and not being to much of a hypocrite.

WELL, THATS A GODDAMN FABRICATION. BTW, curious how many subway Sarin Gas attacks has the US had recently?

Trying to tell you that it doesn't work Oly. Its easy to uplaod pics, its not working now. this is what I get with a pic of a squirel with large testicals: 404 Snaffle not found "Sorry the file requested can not be found. Perhaps you have lost your way? Maybe you should of brought an MLU or a PLB."

Good point. If it is crank, say, and not Coke, I say confiscate it and ring me up stat. Nothing wrong with getting a buzz on and losing 5 lbs eh?

ummm, yeah, the cams were awefriggansome, but the body was weak and not willing...:-( I'm hoping it's just an early season trip....but it could be an age thing/early season trip coupled with the kinds of climbs I naturally do poorly on (steep climbs). BUT, the cams were tried out by 3 people on lead (no falls on em, I think that may be due to lack of trust:-) ) and loved by all, with a comment or 2 on the weight.

BITCH BITCH BITCH BITCH BITCH BITCH. No way dude. Ya gonna ruin some kids life over this? Just confiscate the Coke and give me a call. That so hard to understand? Shit. BTW, I have a 21 Year old and a 16 going on 17 year old, so don't play the morality card with me OR my nose. BTW as parents and adults, I think it's our perogotive and job to snoop.

Having been a boy earlier I can assure you they were not thinking at all. This is just the way of the world. We use to do all kinds of rude shit to each other....ant try not to get caught...and we all survived and grew up despite it all. _________________________________________________________________ BTW, Ivan, the highlight of my day now is the vision of what MAY have been on the ipod you grabbed, thanks for sharing.

Gimme a ring when you confiscate the coke and then we'll have somthing to talk and be buddies about. Till then, ahhh, just kids being kids. Hand it back with a wink and and a stern look say "better keep better tabs on what goes on there, and please, for your sake, don't pull that out again in class". "Are we clear here young lady"? Nice memories I'll bet.

Dude, if yer takin the dude who pops the beer cap off with his teeth, I think you're talkin Lenord Coyne there, hardly an old drunk hippy:-)

Muffy lighten up some, he's not dissing you or your boyfriend. Rocky was doing shitloads of 1 armed pushups. Pretty amazing. But that was just pretend, a movie. Your boyfriend must be pretty damn strong. I bet it shocked him too, to have something like that happen, it's so wildly out there its shocking: glad he's recovering. Hopefully you have him back doing pushups again already. 8D Edited to add: there is NOTHING that sucks worse than bad back pain IMO, I'm including falling 80 feet and bouncing off of ledges on the way too.

I just bought the last deal that floated through here (think that was you too Hemp, thanks !!) They were $59 and $69 and the damn things, for some types of routes, absolutely rule IMO. There has been a report of 1 linkcam having the rivets fall out (with no falls or stress placed on it) posted on RC.com. Linkcam people are all over examining it. If you only have scratch to buy 1 of the sizes, the #2 is the way to go.

Not....for me.

Ypu've never taken a highball bouldering fall Commando style/sans crashpad I'd bet, or you get and keep those fellas snugged up good and tight. I'm not kidding. Anywhoooo, commando is a young mans game.

The longegevty is shit. Check Josephs thread on dynema slings. Same thing on ropes. I apologise as I read this somewhere earlier, then couldn't find the link for you, but I thought it was one of the Black Diamond fellas who did a test on one of his old lines and the results displaying the weakness of that rope were nothing short of shocking.

Washinton, the real one, not DC.

I thought you could take a left on Big Lou lane and drive straight down the Fred Beckey Memorial highway directly to it?

God I love Granite. _________________________________________________________________ That was my lead: I remember thinking of what a Mensch Robbins was to show up in shit (by our standards) shoes, a heavy rack of pins and a hammer, and just did it anyway.

Got out but my crack climbing skills sucked so bad I was trying to forget about it. Unless you enjoy hearing how big of a wussie I am.

I have. ____________________________________________________________ BTW, Sean can confirm the flake size in this story, he and I spent part of a day cleaning around a smaller version of the flake you described (basalt). It made for what looked like decent pro behind it, but I never fell on it. I was out there with Ujohn a while later and he noted a big assed loose block right on route. I went out there later by myself, (new route) kicked that block (approx 2' x '2 x 3 feet high) off with my toe while on rappel. It hit the flake, it peeled off and went too: then the whole thing swept the face. It would have killed anyone underneath. If you can rap down with a crowbar.....

Nice TR Mike, thanks for sharing - love the pics to, great exposure in them.

Are you going to trash and burn the snowcats in the Mt Hood wilderness area next? Just to clarify: no one would complain if a hand drill was used to replace the bolts?

There were 37,000 nailgun injuries which required emergency room visits last year.

What does "Hair Pie" (assuming I understand the translation) have to do with this?

Well, I for one wanted to get on it and shouldn't have put it off. I don't feel like JH or RDawg. I suspect it's (was) a pretty good route. But, Kev, anyone who feels they can toss a bolt in somewhere they have no ownership too should also be aware that the next person has as as much, or more, right to yank it right out for the same (and additional) reasons. For some, the "Graffti" is the bolts themselves and the cure is to remove em. Not climbing the route makes it no less of an affront to them. JH, I was hoping the steep upper slabs still have bolts, if not, that could be real, real, spicy. To say nothing of the effects of not summiting and leaving a shitload of gear to get off. Does one bring a handdrill for that eventuality. Is putting in a handdrilled bolt to replace an origonal bolt a bad thing to you? Given how you feel about the bolts and all.... doing the lower part with gear will only get you to the upper bolted parts which you still find objectionable. I'm assuming that the first 5 pitches were the only ones affected. I would not want to participate in pulling any bolts and climbing it on gear, but to climb the route and hope it is possible to find the origonal bolts on the difficult upper part. It may not be possible - unfortunatly.

Troll... Go find out for yourself, buddy. Route doesn't exist anymore. The route exists even if you peeled some bolts. Ken4ord, Nolse and I will go try it on gear here soon enough I expect.
