I was going to post something and it was coming out real nasty. Although this is for local users to fix, things like this can have repercussions far away and in many other areas. PLEASE DO NOT DO A ROCK AND ICE STORY ABOUT THIS MESS. We would all be losers IMO. I'm shocked to see this, more shocked to see not everyone shares my revulsion at the felt tip pen writing, bolting on plastic holds and all the rest of of it. Short version: clean up the abortion before some "official" cleans it up and then closes it down for everyone. It's not your garage! If you happen to own it, and it is your property, I apologise. Bolt away, but get a permit before fire up the bulldozers. Thanks for stepping up to the plate Dane. No artical please?

I suspect Alpine gangbangers use those hand signals to identify how many peaks they have topped so later in the confusing blur of great pics they can remember where they were. Thanks for sharing guys!!

(No point really, just trying to get my post count up to Dru-like levels.)

Ya that's a high bar, I'll try to not whine as well. See you there Irene errrrr Dan! Ivan, good luck with it, if you need help.... like... if it needs to be amputated.... or something like that, speak up, I'm sure there are plenty of folks on this site who could help you saw the thing off. Here's to a speedy recovery! And this is to wash that one down: Next week perhaps.

Sack up, Jeff was climbing white Rabbit etc Tuesday with a broken toe!

Sack up, Jeff was climbing hite Rabbit etc Tuesday with a broken toe!

So today is Thurs! Anyone up for stretching the muscles tonight besides me? Toothpick, Blueberry and?

I will def. be climbing there @6. Ujohn will be there as well. Yeahhhh! I will bring the Caribou of course. But, I may have to pass on the brews. Wife and son are flying out in the AM and she's already mentioning that I'm passing on the trip and last evening together of family time for a while to climb, if I further added that then I want to go drinking after climbing instead of being with the family.............well, bad form.......you see? PTA again. Hopefully I can hear the interesting parts (who vomited and where kind of thing) tomorrow.

Fox, how dare you show up with facts! However, you ARE correct! Dohh.!! It is "Lookout mountain" near Golden Colo. which has the famed explorers grave, I stand corrected. As this is also car and wheelchair accessable, perhaps 007 may wish to make this the 2nd acclimazation climb of the trip? http://www.buffalobill.org/ Furthermore, Coors beer is made from the Pisswater running out of Denver right there in Golden as well, so that can be the 3rd sightseeing trip for our intreped explorers as it can be reached by car as well after a short hike through the parking lot at Coors. May I finsih by saying that if those others can make the ascent of "Rum Doodle" successfully, despite all the drawbacks and roadblocks placed in their way (like lack of foresight, creativity, planning and intellegence)that these guys have a chance as well on Cho Oyo.

I've "heard" that Pikes Peak would be good. It would have the added attraction that: A) You can race up to the very tippy top via an Automobile. (Your target of 2-3 climbs could then be reached in your "power" weekend through the use of the car) B) Buffalo Bill is buried there, so you can sightsee as well to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Apologies to the birds.

Agree: Too far from my house. Beer costs too much. Side note: thanks Gaper, I gotta go get in line for the season pass now. It wasn't back when I checked, must be a new post on the site.

Tex, great list, some to add, Sunshine, Moonshine, Trezlar, Cinnamon Slab, West Face of Monkee Face, Superman, Spiderman, Free lunch the upper like 3 pitches of the 5 pitches are great cracks, and especially Kunza Korner.

Is she voting for Kerry cause of his anti-gun stance? No, then the marriage can be saved. Buy her an NRA membership and have her watch Ben-Hur 3 times in a sitting. Greg, most people son't know this. There's some great trad at Smith. Nothing like some of the lines on Washington Granite of course. Funny thing, there's often lines of people for the moderate bolted routes while the moderate cracks remain alone and untouched.

This is the motherload of climbing web sites - part 2. (apologies to Bronco) http://www.uiaa.ch/weblinks.aspx Some are personal, some professional. Noticed that Cascadeclimbers is linked along with some real esoteric and interesting Euro sites of all kinds.

I think that describes most of us on the site, unfortunatly. Except the Caribou is fluffier and softer and is difficult to stick clip and I don't do Pilaties. PTA yes. Are your belays any good? Anything about your skill level for technical stuff.

Is Breakfast cracks area ok? Irene says he can't come but would like to reschedule for Thursday. He also claims he's a guy which I believe to be true. Which may explain why he signs off as Dan, to avoid the confusion. So, Breakfast cracks?

Man you drug that old thread outta the garbage can. http://www.jlist.com/ADULTTOYS/ Like that Dwayner AKA now Merv Griffin? Damndest thing: they have Hello Kitty Vibrators, errrrr, personal massagers I mean, and other interesting toys and shirts. Was that what the site above used to direct you to? Heads up so you don't need to complain if you don't like that stuff like I do: that is an adult site. You might not want to closely examine the Montana road sign pic under my name either. Dru, how do you find time to climb?

You should work on your back kick. It is one of the most powerful and devastating of the kicks, sounds like you missed an opportunity to utilise it. I'd be mad too.

Damn that's some funny stuff you guys have going up there.

Sorry: I didn't live to 50 yrs old by trying things like that. So NFW. 2 words..., 2 words... for the graduate. Twin ropes. Last time I was in Yos guy had em. Shit worked great, and since they were pretty much letting me lead, I got to belay the 2 people at once who followed.

Thanks RBW, learned something new. So you are like carrying parachute cord or somthing in your backpack during the climb just for this express purpose?

Dru: I want to have a job like yours. Its more remarqable that you have time to climb left over from your computer time!

33 taps..............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm The Rose and Raindrop Restaurant and Pub 532 S.E. Grand, Portland, Oregon Tel: (503) 238-6996 Hours: Mon -Fri, 11AM - 2:30AM; Sat - Sun, 10AM - 2:30AM; kitchen closes at 11PM. 8 might be a tad early for me, quaff a few and I'll be by a bit later. I can visit with anyone who hasn't fallen off a chair by the time I arrive. Haven't heard Jeff's broken toe story yet, but would love to hear an elaborate SLURRED version if you can hold that story in till I get there..... I told my broken foot story so many times I want to be drunk before I tell it so it seems fresh to me.

Got a serious snow jones there Dude. I knew a Labrador once that had the same fixation with a tennis ball. It's REAL bad if you find yourself praying for fresh stuff in August. P.L.E.A.S.E......... OK Look, I have to come out of the closet some here. I'll share with you the other window I have open right now. Had it open before I logged on here. Then I'll STFU and quietly slink away with my tennis ball. http://www.bergfreunde.org/snow.htm Thinking its time to see when the ski swap is happening. I also will confess to checking Meadows site TODAY to see (pray) if the $400 season passes would be back this year. And I'm not even that good of a skier. Nice pic too: great clarity -thanks for sharing.

Nothing really hard core Pete, it was just Irene and me, and I only got part of the ass climbed off if the truth was really told. What I think is happening, is that I can climb my ass off on a Tuesday, however, 2 pints of Haagen-Daz, 3 big macs, 5 chocolate chip cookies and 2 bottles of wine later it's back in full force, and larger as well. This might take a bit to figure out. I gotta do is whatever you are doing to maintain that youthful figure, whatever that is. Perhaps going and hurling after a great meal is what I think could be happening there. Rob, bring your gear to work and I'll be there on the 10th for sure to climb with you and Pete as well as get a belay from any broken toe people as well. Side note Jeff: there are few things as good as a broken toe climber who still gives good belay. When I broke my foot and was hiking out last year, I was invited to belay some of my friends as I passed: which I did. They were very impressed and happy. Course then the foot swole up something terrible. Elevate and ice. Elevate and ice. Elevate and ice. Repeat as necessary. Hope you hobble over for a cold one, hopefully it's not enough to keep you off the bike for long in this short window of fantastic weather. Hanger and T leave for Peru Thursday. Maybe they will join in for 1 last quick Oregon pump before the Inca trail blows up the thighs and shrinks their arms. Hopefully we don't get to large of a herd though. I'm invited? Right?
