That's all I need to hear...I'm there!

This person does not realize how much it really does matter!

two pitches from the top of West Crack, right where it can join up with Crescent Arch. Two guys named Sol and Jimbo were coming up. One of them leads the pitch and sets up the anchor to belay. He yells "on belay" and begins to yard up the rope. Pretty soon he pulls the rope all the way to the untied end and sees his buddy coming behind him. "I see how it is" was his reply.

Hmmm...What would happen if a peregrin nested in one of the top huecos of 5 gallon?

The DNB is totally friggin burly and sketchy (for me). The descent is trashed as stated above. Talk to Link the climbing ranger during sunday coffee if he still does it for all the beta you could dream of. Serenity/Sons is my personal favorite free climb. sooo cool after the first pin scars.

Life behind the gym wall is surreal. Like I'm back in the womb.

On another note, I saw some solo aider self-belaying Japanese Garden (or the route just to the right) by tying off on that short tiny stump! Another accident coming someday. That thing would not hold a zipper in my opinion.

I have not seen your shoes, but I friggin love my Kaukalators! So nice for burly crack climbing in the Valley. No scabbed up ankles! Hope you find em cause they are "out of print"

The ultimate chat bait: War and Religion

First of all why would a climb all of a sudden start spitting out gear? Did a pack of elves who enjoy removing pro take up residence inside the crack or something? Yes. I have said hello to them.

Norway has no sandstone

We camped there ONCE. My friends dog ate some human shit and puked it inside the tent at 1AM. Neat!

Sandstone and not a difficult top out due to the angle of the photo. Think about where the photographer is standing.

Better get out your King James version...I doubt you have the time or patience for some Greek translated versions that are used in Seminary. What's your point? Virtually everyone reads King James anyways. Why read Greek? So you can twist it into your own meaning via translation like all other translations? "...that depends on what your definition of 'is' is." -a political genius

What exactly is the "armor of God" is it his words "turn the other cheek", or "Love thy neighbor"? Are you serious??? Time to wake up from your fairy tale adult santa claus. God is neither alive nor dead. He never existed in the first place. This is a war between two zealots claiming God is on their side. Classic!

He is simply appealing to the lowest common denominator.

I would think that the local population (Mormons) would not look kindly to viewing some haggard climber wiping his ass with sage brush. However, the paid camping can get filled up on weekends. For routes, I really liked the sport route "Redtail" 10d. It's one of the longest sport routes around and eases up after the start. All of the guide books suck that I've seen. I think it was the Falcon guide that got recalled because of so many errors like reversed images.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like it will be ok if we are low key.

OK perhaps my search skill suck, but I found nothing posted concerning the Lower Malamute closure. Any updates?

Or it comes from that pond right by the parking lot

I love the Smith dirt! I had no Idea my original post would elicit so little concerning my question, and so much Smith Lore. Please DFA, et al, give me more! What did Scott Franklin do to Scarface?

I swear a hold was chipped or broken within the past year around the 3rd bolt. Anyone have info?

Bird, I like your thinking. I have pulled this one on my unsuspecting dynamic duo friends on several occasions.

Did you use my ticks on that problem at the Seahawks Convention Center?

Location? Grade?
