whoahhhh

I agree.

I didn't see the video, just wanted to double check that statement.

Yeah, I see that every am, great sunrise. Couple of real good Jeff Thomas pics below.

All good. Some others to look at: West Face Variation on the Monkey, anything else on the Monkey , Trezlar, Chimney De Chelly and the route to the left of it, Round River, Peking, Free Lunch, First Kiss, the other route dude did left of Asterisks pass on the back side, and Sky Ridge. Opps, Kevino got Sky Ridge and he's right, White Satin is real sweet, plus there's an optional 10b that's as sweet of a bolted line you'll see in the middle if you want to pass on the crack. You can still access the awesome last crack to top out.

Fine, you asked. I have a problem, so I'm asking you not to touch it until Kenny has had a chance to lead it with the bolts that are existing there, to decide if they are OK or not. Please. Do not touch it till he OK's it. I'm not joking or kidding. Kenny, I can belay you on it Saturday. What say? Then you can tell JH next Monday to leave it be in it's original wahhh. BTW, no falls this time cause I don't know about these old fuckers. OK? no falls. Really. ___________________________________________________________________ You all know what the pup said when he wiped his butt with sandpaper? "RUFF" Hope that contributes to the sandpaper discussion.

Did it look like this? Ivan check yer PMs

LOL, at least the resin would be cleaned out periodically:-) Possibly the way to do it would be to drill up, with a larger bit until it just breaks the surface where the water pools. Stopping so that there is a smaller hole poking through. Anything which does drop in will be carried away and flushed out next deluge. The small hole will ensure that any larger rock will only be laying on top, easy to brush off to clear the hole. Or you could put a screen in it:-) When I pitched this, I figured it would be one of those "you're raping the earth" yellfests. Interesting. I come from a construction background while back....kind of crazy I guess. Well, if any one does decide to do it, just do it quietly and skillfully and keep it off the net.

Saw this on ST, hadn't seen anyone impressed enough to put it here I suppose. So here it is. Naked slacklining the Lost Arrow Spire. Any one who's ever done the gut-wrenching but safe Tyrolean back will feel this craziness. [video:vimeo]

Drill a drainage hole ya pussies.

Send Plaidman!

Nice find Bob

The union rep job would would be yours if you'd simply boost those numbers just a tad....say cut services 50% and boost pay to $ay, little over $100,000. The line of educated people looking for any that work, your unemployed engineers, industrial and Mfg managers, ie, those who didn't recognize that non-productive government jobs was the growth industry to get into out of college - would grow even longer.

If you could supply a coherent argument, I'll listen. When the dialog slips into the typical vocabulary of demagogurey, jack-booted thugs, knuckle-draggers, and facists, well then that's not an argument. This is why I rarely respond to jb. Whats the point? Pfft, BTW, questioning a Stalinist libtard doesn't even make Jim a regressive wannabe. No way. Hmmm, probably just makes him "normal". Abby Normal? ...A balanced person? Hmmm.

We'll be at Red Rocks come Nov. You want to join us? Red Rocks is pretty damn nice then.

You've summited El Cap 8 times by some routes that are still considered bad-assed. All you can learn from me, Grasshopper, is how to uncork Sobos wine that he stores in his basement, drink some and then pee in the half filled bottle, so as to get some free wine, and not alert the host when he finally gets to the bottle we'd put back. They never know. It's all about percentages. Hey Sobo, Pink and I were wonderin if that invitation is still open?

I believe if you substitute the word information for the word "crap" in the first sentence, new folks, out of town climbers or folks just looking for current conditions could find their info better and everyone would benefit. To answer that question on top. I think if you could tell us how much snow we will see this winter and how settled the active weather is in spring, we could answer it much better. Furthermore, what is your skill level? Climbing experience? Gear? Do you ski? Winter camp? Good with map and compass or GPS? Are you local or flying in from New York? It all makes a difference. Sorry for the questions. I've summited in every calender month at least once, and think generally, (but there were exceptions) at least as of 15 years+ ago and then some, late May-Early June is the better time to get what you describe. My kids and wife say that one of my larger faults is offering unsolicited advice. But here goes. Get in shape. Learn as much as you can, but the very most important thing for you may be this: when you head up there - do not be GOAL oriented, but be PROCESS oriented. This is how you not just survive it if it goes to total shit, but actually enjoy it. have fun!

He'd be one of the folks who posts here it would be nice to hang around with for sure.

Wait a Paonia minute here...are you saying now that he has to be Naked? If he does it with shoes, you'll discount or disqualify the free-solo? Cause he might be about ready to do it after all this old man dribbling we've produced here has about sent all the normal folks to the loony bin. Maybe it was the other Nate. How about if I do it, naked but with shoes (and tape). Wrinkly old man style. 2 years of silence? Original route to access the steep upper dihedral, not the direct start past the pins. No downclimbing Jill's unroped either....that's freaking bad-assed. I'd just want time to go make sure I had it wired.

LOL! So true!

Sweet. It should give you lots of time to insult those who don't agree with you, like all of the intolerants on this thread.

CYA! As he just free-soloed Blownout and free solo/downclimbed Jill's Thrill the other day, can we assume you're out of here for 6 months Andrew? Give you time to go climb something. I heard from your protege just yesterday or maybe it was this morning, King Blacktard, that he climbed a route in the Black Canyon while you were sleeping or wanking or what ever old person moves you were doing.

Rocky Butte. They were there when I got there and still up till dark. Name the route or describe and they're yours again.

Are they using your biner up there? This thing showed up when you were in California....I'll see you tonight remind me. If someone else speaks for it....well - it's a chance for you to meet new people I suppose.
