I look forward to hearing that story!It definitly does blow.i'm sure cc.com has at least helped one guy get blown
Yeah we need to update that story about Trask and his belayer.

By mixing a half a cup of minute rice with them you can reduce the amount of sodium per calorie. They are tolerable when eaten in this manner, for me.
Nice tip!
I can tolerate the most mundane things but these add a little bonus despite their lack of body, the rice would add some needed texture as well.

None at the Tacoma location, we looked feverishly to no avail.
Well keep checking back throughout the Summer season though, thanks for the tip!

Hey Matt!
This summer we should connect, I have a wacky midweek off schedule that sadly does not allow for much climbing time since most folks are weekenders. We can PM data for times/windows.
Yeah the short traverse pitch to the base of the long pitch that intercepts the Kone, the belay at the end of the traverse is dubious rusty button heads and tat, the only real mank on the route that I noticed.
Either way the place rocks! I just wish it wasn't so far from Tacoma
Cheers!

Outstanding! I am hoping to get out there next week. Looks like ya'll had a great trip and thanks for the service work on the route.
I do remember the belay at the base of the crux pitch was also a bit manky. If no one has touched it I might bring some gear and clean it up.
Cheers

Apparently Carol Hopper Keesling owns a cat named Snow and is a Republican.

Cool I guess, perhaps it will just fade away.
Thanks for the link Jim, very cool stuff.
-
Not sure if this has been posted yet. Looks like it's about 10+ years out, but still. Anyone more familiar?

I wouldn't take it all so seriously, Raindawg. Diggin' up mummies and shit, that's pretty cool. I'm sure everyone thinks so.
It's worth noting that it was the original poster who first lamented the fact that all the spray had been removed from his own thread. There was some funny stuff there. Apparently less funny from your perspective though.
Whenever I post in spray, even a public service type announcement, I anticipate it may go south. I don't condone direct personal attacks, but it's always curious to see where the trail leads.
Raindawg and Pope are good guys, we may not agree on the bolt/glue/chip thing but good peeps is good peeps.

Too bad a thread in spray had to be modified...
Seems to be a recurring theme.

Out there today with Btustison, great times, no other folks and O_W's dogs kept us company.
Some seepage on the left side but right is pretty dry and nice.
Found a Rope in a BD rope bag and a green jacket on the older belay platform. Both were wet so we moved them to the O_W's carport in case anyone comes a looking.
Thanks again O_W, we will be back

Speaking of permanent desecration of rock - how about that Valley of the Kings? Nature was reclamining it until some yahoos decided to dig out and display that eye sore again!
Your utter ignorance speaks for itself.
Spray paint is the worse, horrid even.
Bolting, well it's all about the end product.
Archaeology is like getting good FA info in a guidebook, its fun and interesting and they will revegetate the valley anyway when they are done.

"Ok there's a hold by your left knee... you can't see it... little higher... little bit to the left. That's it! That hold is shitty. Whatever you do, don't use it."
Quotable and stolen. TYVM!

Not my home but was posted on my neighborhood FB page. If you live in Tacoma, maybe you recognize this person.
I am just reposting to get it out to the Community.
Be safe out there.

Heavier but classic and bomber. Just replace the slings (as you have done), buy some new UL Biners to replace the heavy ones and you should be fine. Plus having an older rack, peeps won't look at you like a noob with all shiny new stuff. It's a win/win situation!

There was a notion awhile back that leaving out FA information was supposed to cut down on the egoish names-in-the-guidebook syndrome, but it was a silly idea. That info is important historically, and it can provide valuable insight into a route as well. Take City of Rocks for instance, knowing who put it up will give you some clues as to how clean something may be and how thoughtful fixed pro placements may be. In Red Rocks, if Joe Herbst was on the FA, you'll know you'll want to bring your "A" game to that 5.9.
I wrote a guide way way back in the day, it was a fair bit of work, sort of full time for 3 months, but hey, I got college credit for it and made up a bunch of names that are still in use 34 years later. Takes chutzpah to write a guidebook.
-
I love complete area history. Too many authors leave out FA info, anecdotes and style data. I find that stuff enhances the overall experience majorly.
But mebbe thats Geezerish...I will accept that.

What is your favorite climbing video which features Washington areas. It could be sport, trad, ice, alpine. I will get us started with this one because I think the production value is pretty good.

Sweet video, product placement is everything.

However, Gold Bar is still open to foot traffic, and perhaps the silver lining to this cloud is that the boulders in the area will temporarily be restored to the quiet, pristine, and lonely place they once were.
What kind of distances are we talking? In some ways because of boulderings popularity, and as mentioned in the above link, this may be a boon in disguise.
Mountain bikes included in the ban?

Just got mine today, gonna fire it up tomorrow and see what it can do.
First impressions are that its moderately durable, time will tell, comes with starter sticks (wax and sawdust) only 6 included so might be for "adverse" situations.
