No, I don't. I don't agree with him or "his points"; most of which will cost me more money in taxes and restrictions on my freedom as an American. What is my "fair share" of taxes, catbirdseat? Why, because I am successful and work hard, is the government entitled to such a large share of my life blood? Roark I love how I still become amazed by views presented on this site. Has respect and dignity for human life escaped the meager minds of some Americans?

Don't worry folks, "he" has new hobbies, as seen below:

Bolt at the bottom, pretty easy to find, scramble up a little gulley to the left of the horseman, then traverse right to the base.

Brand new???? I thought you put that up back in october?? ok ok, I guess thats new.... oohhhh, all this talk about smith is making me all hot and bothered for this weekend, I can't wait! PS, thanks for putting up the new route E!

A few of us from Bham are coming down, Skyclimb said he was down for the cause, Layton you too? Gapertimmay get off the snow and on the tuff, DFA? RUMR? Come down and it will be a grand ol' time

I wish I was here right now..... Picture

haha, no, I only tried it for about 30 mins one day. Plus I haven't been in Bishop since the 23rd of Dec. I'm going to be spurt climbing for the next few weekends, then back to bouldering. "pebble wrestling" is only if you

but that wont happen until you are through being a kid. blah blah blah, lets go climb!!!!!

I should watch my language around the kids. Man I feel old now and I'm only a 1976 model. 1984, us kids are going to take over! I'm a rat as well

The walls outside of campus services here at WWU have yet to see an FA, cool long crimpy traverse, I'll have to go try it.....

thanks, quartzite. some of the hardest rock on the planet. Metamorphic sandstone or something like that, some of the coolest stuff I've ever climbed on

the firepit is but there wasn't any carpet It was coooolllllddddddd

thanks, Ibex, UT If you want more go to: ME And scroll to the bottom 6.5 rows or pics. Or check out all my pics

I'd have to say these are some of my favorites: Me on Ju Mike on the White Arete Matt on Atomic Bomb

If you want close to Seattle bouldering go to Goldbar. Rock is much better!! Lots of already established good problems and tons of FAs to be had

I'm leaving friday afternoon and going yo Ibex for the long weekend. Freeclimb9 you out there??? Come and play on the quartzite! I'm pretty psyched to get down there, everything looks amazing! Pictures to follow next week.....

I had a P-tec and it broke.....I was mad.....but now I have a Tikka plus and I like it a lot because the beam clicks into place, unlike the princeton where mine was prone to moving and flopping down....whatever, I got the tikka for free since the ptec broke

So Wirlwind finally convinced ya huh E?

yo Western kicks ass! True the best rock is two hours away, but fucking vantage folks!? seriously. Choss pile! I'll give you the powerhouse and some of the lower cliffs have better rock, but squamish is only 1.5 hours from here. Plus the Girl-guy % is 65-35!!! Hell yeah. Bham owns4lyfe

I just don't get the fact that WI5 is moderate but that the highest WI ratings go is like 7 or 7+ right??? For some people V10 is moderate, but I wouldn't go so far as to actually call it moderate for all of bouldering....

I would like to try and get a little stronger. But here are my real short term goals: 1. In Triassic over MLK day weekend do Tug of War 2. Spring break in Joes, do: They Call Him Jordan, Stand Up, and No Substance 3. This summer in squampton, do: The Matntra, ATD, Sesame Street, Rookie, and every other damn amazing problem up there!

not really crowded, warm in the sun, people climbing without shirts, chilly and great friction in the shade, about 20deg every night. I was sleeping in a van with my gf and all the condensation froze on the inside of the van every night. Chilly, but the temps were perfect during the day. Crowded if you went to the birthday boulders or ironman, but never saw anybody in 2 days at the pollen grains, only matt birch at get carter and the beehive, nobody at dale's camp, nobody at bardinis, and nobody at the druids. There are so many boulders, if you leave the milks I doubt you will see anybody.

Kava, great little place. I finally found the printed out beta for middle earth so I'll type it up and get it to you in the next day or two. Eric from Kava (not sure if you know him) is an amazing climber!

no you just grab the jug crimps and fire, terrible feet though, but fun

I have a gf who climbs, doesn't care if I hang out with other girls, and does a great job of taking pictures of me climbing, life rocks! And like Erik, I do have to do the cooking, but small price to pay
