Fear releases adrenalin, and many climbers are adrenalin junkies (among other things), so doesn't that equate to addiction to fear?

The new Exit 38 guide looks like the author was trying to make a big guide out of a little guide. It has little boxes where you can check if you "onsighted", "redpointed", "toproped", or "lead" every single route - apparently for the writing-challenged... The new Frenchman's Coulee guide is also, out, with an amazing number of new sport routes. Available at Feathered Friends now.

I was climbing at Smith a week ago, and ended up climbing with a guy named Marcus who was in the party of folks climbing at Vantage when the Swedish guy died on Air Guitar. I talked with him a bit about it, and recalled leading it a few years back. When I got back to Seattle, I was hanging out with some climbing friends, and heard Bill Robins had died! The wierdness is that the last time I saw Bill, he was free-soloing, you guessed it, Air Guitar.

Feels like a bat guano traverse due to the paint, etc. Some hard top outs, too! Check out the neighbors peering at you! Good for that contact training. First went there in 1973, looked bigger at 10

So, where does one order a pitcher to quaff while sitting in the Skykomish River now that the Best Tavern West Of The Cascades has closed? Anyone know the story why they closed?

That one must have had kids, what with the big araeolas...

Ted Nugent would suggest that you locate some feral critters for your particular release...

Wooly chaps, unwashed laderhosen, the telltale stained painters pants (white is SO unforgiving), anything is better.

Why do you hate America so much?

Yeah, crag.com was much better. Maybe the size of the mountains is directly proportional to the size of tolerance.
