man, looks like Joseph tr something on the North side. Except its almost too dry and not enough moss. hmmm , I don't know the names of any of those....

?

Sure? Jim had said it had never been done before, certainly was not in Tims book, and we didn't see any evidence of a prior ascent. If you did you must have bagged the FA. Tell us about it. Name of who you climbed it with, dates, pro, where you went or finished etc etc? We'll make sure you get credit for it.

opps double post

its a highball bouldering problem where you can cut left off the corner, just above that little chimney, to get to the land of the little people - if i can figure out how to access and clean it, there's a silly cool handcrack w/ skeeery exposure at the very end I think Ivan nailed that..cough* cough* I mean, "correctly identified it", not "nailed it" like with Pins. I've heard from the woo li master that Ivan has free soloed that route, and the grade is argued over more than any other thing out there. I say @5.7 but I'd believe 5.8 and if you said 5.6 I probably wouldn't argue. Route? The King finally getting afternoon shade after sweating in 97 degree weather.

Interesting. There's no author mentioned there: so these are your words Mike? "One more thing it can do, but it is not advertised and I cannot recommend it because I don't want anyone getting hurt...I have rope-soloed with it and it worked awesome. In fact I like it better than anything out there for rope-soloing! " So are you talking rope solo leading or top roping or both? How does it compare to the 2X Petzl Mini Traxtions and the Edelrid Eddy?

Wish I had some good Beacon pics. I'll add this. Maybe I do.....here's Ujahn lapping the corner. Jeff Thomas photo.

Wow! Looks like you need to put some of those picks onto the tires for that spot. Probably real nice to walk away from that one. How'd you get the truck back on it's tires? Nice pics of the routes too. Thanks for sharing them.

I don't know Tim Wilson and I'm damn happy that folks post any climbing pictures (instead of just spewing venom behind chickenshit false names). I think it's great. but...are you suggesting that the white dot wayyyyy up there is a person? OK, I need me glasses redone. If he'd gone up and shot down now, then that would be some schizel! Check these from RC.noob. I will admit that the combo-platter closeups of hot young ladies, warm weather and rockclimbing is the holy trinity of nice things. I detract a point for clipping bolts, but I'm old, so it doesn't matter what I think on that, these remain great shots.. no?

Wish I had sound!

This kind of internet shit talkin ain't good for climbers as a group, even if raging like a 4 year old makes Andrew (or anyone) personally feel good. This was a leader of men, who's life was lived around collaboration and yet he was not going into this hole. I fully understand Jim A's feelings. This is just sad. Why even bother trying or sharing a damn thing here for any of you? Step up and share it in person sure, but this internet raging stuff is total bullshit. I'm done posting on this thread, it's a bad thing and you dudes have way too many needless bad vibes. Good by! opps, edited to have a picture of the rock in question so you guys can remember what you are all upset about and maybe it will calm you down. LOL! PS, TT Steve, you seem like a righteous dude and that's a damn good point. My wife drug home one of your antique pieces of Chinese furniture from Bend while back (you transferred it to the NW PDX store). My boy and I stuffed a 47" widescreen High def TV in there. Good stuff.

Schweet! You should Utube this as it would be a total gnar thing to do and be a rad vid.

You mean there's a way to do this with Billcoe? ha ha !

Nice! South of Darrington? You guys get any sunshine at all?

You can only pick one. A) Brotherhood. B) Jews. Not too hard to choose. No choice and not picking isn't a choice.

It probably goes without saying, but it would be nice if some of the totally needless savaging, bitching and whining that goes on online about Beacon and from mostly Beacon climbers would just stop. The management gave us the forum cause this group in particular seemed to always get carried away yelling at each other for no good reason on all kinds of other forums. I had asked him for help on the keeping the Beacon open thing and he was not interested at all. In fact he wanted to totally avoid all the needless petty little sniping and backbiting this group seems to bring: but in his response turning me down I think Jim Anglin said it best when he suggested that what we all needed was to take a road trip and climb at a few other areas in the winter and spring instead of just sitting by our computers and bitching about things which really don't matter. BTW: The 2nd 2 are damn nice photos Steve!

Top Gear presenter Hammond had asked why anyone would buy a Mexican car during a discussion of a Mexican sports model, the Mastretta. "Cars reflect national characteristics don't they?," he said. "Mexican cars are just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat." Opps, those rascally Brits: time to apologize to the Mexican ambassador. Dohh! http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110204/od_nm/us_britain_mexico_dd;_ylt=AiheQOI65s_7VbH1MtwTJ9.s0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTFmNTM2bjhoBHBvcwMyMDEEc2VjA2FjY29yZGlvbl9vZGRfbmV3cwRzbGsDYmJjZGVmZW5kc3F1

As you aren't going to spill the whole can of beans we'll have to let our imaginations run crazy:-) That there indicates some real potential for kinkiness. I'm imagining some 151 Bacardi Gold was involved. She must be off the hook crazy. 8D

Damn Ivan. Looks like you initiated the bitchfest. Sadly, the only way to make it stop is to quit responding online. Just stop. This shouldn't be online, but an in person thing. Delete the topo off this site and let people ask you for it. You already offered to climb it with Pink, either you go out together and do it or this goes for 20 more fucking stupid assed pages. (I'm excluding Timetravelers posts from that statement) fuck all you whiners and bitchers. Get off the internet and go climb the thing.

There ya go! Can't buy that kind of thing (usually). I'd take him up on that offer!

Sons of Yesterday

Yeah, we know. That's why they wear cotton or wool in the military. What the heck happened to you though? That looks damn painful. Hope it didn't get on your face. BTW, Mythbusters recently did this test where they used pepper spray and an tazer to see if they could ignite someone. I didn't see the whole show, but do know that the police have torched a couple folks. The choice of clothing played a roll, with fleece and some other synthetic being the least flame resistant. They used a dummy wire rack in place of actual flesh like you seem to have done. Ouch!

Yeah, they wouldn't play this one:-) Imagine. [video:youtube] ..and this vegetarian ad: [video:youtube]

I had expected someone to have suggested your house by now. Disappointing group here, maybe they don't know what a Gloryhole is so that can't recommend one? Gloryhole, hope this helps

Do it. Dare ya.
