  1. I completely understand both sides of the argument. They are permanent, they aren't that great for the rock, and they aren't the most attractive things. BUT they do open up many possibilities for climbing. Dwayner: "Having clipped bolts doesn't eliminate anyone from participating in the debate. This ain't about personal hypocrisy or saintliness. Much of it has to do with an environmental ethic. If you are aware of the issues, then you will understand the complaints, whether you agree with them or not." If you clip bolts, then don't say they shouldn't be there because you are using them. That's all I want to say dwayner, I'm not trying to pu you down or say you're wrong. This issue though gets brought up by too many people who use bolts all the time. The less impact on nature the better, but we have to be realistic also. Good arguments also dwayner, points well taken.
  2. Not sure if anyone else feels that a certain particular route named washboards is overbolted, in november there was a bolt after every single move! What ever happened to taking those tumbling lead falls on slab? Bolting is always going to happen, yes it's bad in some places, but would there be any 5.14+ routes or very steep overhanging routes without them? Arguing about it seems pretty lame. Every climber at one point or another uses them, so unless you've never clipped a bolt in your life, why keep complaining? Sport climbing is fun unless the route looks like a waffle.
  3. Atkins is not good for you!!! What happens is without eating carbs, all the small amounts of carbs you do eat get stored as fat, also all the weight you lose is water! The best way to lose weight or get better abs is to burn more calories than you eat and pull on plastic to get those abs in shape. Do some tension traverses.
  4. Marshall, it's Luke man. Smith was awesome! I'm heading back down either the 14-17 or 20-23 of Feb. want to go? I'm free anytime to climb also.

  6. Yeah but it's a 2door integra, if you think two wheel drive can make it then it's fine. Call me to work things out if you're still interested, 206-399-5366. Luke
  7. Looking for someone to go up to Lillooet on friday the 17th, climb saturday and sunday, come back sunday evening. Lodging is negotiable (either find a cheap place or car...? really I don't mind). I live in Seattle and can leave at 3 on the 17th. Preferably someone with some screws because my supply is limited. Mostly one pitch or TR in mind...
  8. Hey I'm looking for someone to go over to leavenworth with this saturday the 21st. If there's any ice then cool, if not maybe some mixed climbing or just hiking around. Luke soccerluke@aol.com
