Freaking hilarious!

Peen schmeen, a little hammer and nail action and yer all set!

Bouldering is a phenominal aspect of climbing, unfortunately its accessibility to the masses and its SK8 style marketing opens it up to alot of folks who wouldnt know or appreciate the atmospheric aspects of the natural realm. They dont give a shit about nature or solitude. I guess thats where WE come in and Distel as the bouldering ambassador to the masses, the conduit of proper conduct to the "new" generation will help to connect the two diverging views.

Choss is Boss! Thanks for the beta Richard . I actually kinda like choss areas...the ethics are a little more freestyle and that opens up a realm of possibilities. I started a route above Ottoman Empire years ago and I kinda feel like finishing up some loose ends...namely the first pitch.

Anyone been to Fossil recently? I havent in years and was wondering the state of the access roads (still random Weyerhauser?) and access to the cliffs proper. I figure Off White might be the closest to the pulse of the the area but any info would be cool as I was thinking of heading down there soon for some fun. TY!

It's not proper nor respectful to the mountain gods to "make sauce" in their presence.

Definitely the right direction.

Few years back in R&I or climbing there was an editorial called "They shoot horses, dont they?" ( after a Patrick McManus book) that dealt with the same issue in the SAME way. Do a search for it, it was pretty poignant.

Im kinda going with #2 regarding the crispness/freshness factor (there may be the issue of blanching in the lower image but it may be merely my video card/monitor combo). The top image might be more true assuming there was alot of forest fire smoke in the atmosphere. Tough call tho as I am going from gut, the true psp afficianados will have more tech explanations, color correction scripts, formulas, algorithmic proposterations, and perhaps...just perhaps...something that will confound us all.

Hes Dynoing for the Flaccid Phallus?? Or am I seeing things?

Bravo Muffy! Thats cool and the essence of what its about. Were all constantly growing, adapting and finding a balance. Anger is an awesome emotion when its kept tabs on. Interesting overall thread that showcases some of what makes us ( especially climbers) so intriguing.

Actually I live in Tacoma, am naturally bald (I shaved it for ease of use and lice prevention), I own my OWN damn SUV (TYVM), and I have Skinny Puppy and Infected Mushroom and Fugazi the CD player. BTW I find it offensive you misspelled Ian MacKaye's name. "Oh the Drama!"

jja Willfully lame and ignorant as fucking hell...too bad Doolittle wasted time at those concerts when he/she could have been cranking or doing something productive! Gets me that society rewards and worships such crap on a regular basis. What the fuck...

Got VRG?

Hmmm, there are those who would argue that the words "excellence" and "Sport Climbing" don't belong in the same sentence. If it wasnt for sport climbing I wouldnt be as famous as I am in several exclusive yet obscure circles!

Pope, you have any pics of Ant Rocks? Man we WERE ahead of ourselves in a big way and I am proud to have helped develop such an under appreciated area. Goelzers Revenge, The Nose, Meat my Beat...all classics.

Nice sequence cracked!! Thats most rivited I have been to my screen in days!!

Neat! I found you could substitute the name (Starbucks) for (REI) and get a thread that still maintains the same spirit, integrity, and theme!

Yup thats the drawback. I agree with Dr Crash and Marylou regarding over the counter coatings.!

I use the TOPO ADVENTURE Paper. Stuff seems pretty bombproof from a waterproof and from a general wear and tear standpoint. Its even pretty Jumar (the dog) proof to a degree although she will render the map into a 3d form. A bit more expensive but I think worth it.
