Everybody wants to do the same handful of popular climbs. If you are a little adventuresome there are lots of climbs at Royal Columns you can do and not wait to do them. Bring a complete set of hexes and your larger nuts, if you go, because the rock just seems to take them well. In many cases they work better than cams.

The Bush Administration knows it is treading on and trampling on civil liberties. Anyone who supports freedom of expression is regarded as being against the Administration.

What does one do with a degree in Mongolian Studies? If you spoke the languages you could enter the civil service, I suppose. I should think you'd start with Mandarin, though.

Our liberals were paying attention that one time they got dragged into church and they heard the memorable phrase "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

Okay, I finally got around to looking in Breasheares' book, High Exposure. Besides the team members already mentioned (Viesturs, Breashears, Segarra, Norgay and Schauer), there was also Sumiyo Tsuzuki, Paula Viesturs (basecamp manager), Wongchu Sherpa and Jangbu Sherpa.

They aren't off by much. Not as much as you indicate, but whatever. I was just trying to help someone.

There is a 9 and it get's wet. The 5.10a gets a little wet. I've done one or two 5.10cs and the 5.10d there and they were dry in the rain.

Nevermind wall stays remarkably dry. You have to climb 5.10s and up, however.

Come on Lance, she's sexy and you are proud of her. Besides, if it's in the cc.com gallery, it's fair game.

They are out there. We just aren't getting the closeup shots. Thelawgoddess at Squamish:

cc.com has some of it's own Trad Babe talent. I just think that there hasn't been a concerted effort to capture it on film. The following was contributed by Lancegranite. Granted she isn't leading, although I am certain she must lead trad, but this is what I'm talking about.

Oompah loompah doopity doo, I've got a little riddle for you. What do you get when you stare at a screen? A pair of bad eyes and you're spraying a stream.

We'll get to the bottom of this... as soon as the election is over.

Oh, gawd, not another one of those awful dating threads!

Iain you are making an argument for the bolt clippers.

This chick is wearing entirely too many clothes, but at least her gear isn't covering her a**.

How about this one. She's got gear on her harness. Is that a bolt?

I have Brashear's book at home. I can go look up some names.

Case in point, the gear is covering up what would otherwise be a nice a** shot.

This is the only time of year that do hikes just for hiking sake. I don't mind hiking in the rain, especially if the hike leads to a special place.

I'm bored.
