	Contrary to your intended statement, this picture actually applies to you. Raindawg is talking shit, which he can't back up with his climbing ability.

				Hiring Professional Videographer/Climber for Shoot

The intended shoot is supposed to happen on Eldorado, so yes, the filming will be done in NP, unless they opt to change the location. -

No drones are allowed in National Parks. They need someone with boots on the ground. But it doesn't sound like they have their shit together with permits yet. BTW, if I see people "poaching" footage in National Parks I will start turning them myself. It fucking pisses me off, as they totally fuck it up for everyone else. It's already utter cluster fuck while attempting to obtain any filming permits in NPS areas, and illegal activities just give Parks more ammunition to restrict and regulate even further. -

				Libtards on Parade: Alcoholism, Corruption, Murder

It's really amazing to see how quickly you tend to excuse high ranking officials from Republican Party, who commit horrible crimes- like child molesters. How fucking easy and convenient. - 
	Raindawg- T-A=0. I will pay you $200 if you free climb while placing gear on lead on Numbah10. And yes, your ascent will have to get verified. Basically, I am calling your bullshit.

hahaha, outstanding individual from republican ranks: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/05/28/410366275/former-house-speaker-hastert-indicted-in-probe-into-3-5m-in-withdrawals - 
	Could have, should have would have. Contrary to what you are saying this is actually science. Parks B.C sent a crew last week to clean up debris from the rockfall zone, and the preliminary report are confirming trees and routing action as a primary cause. There is a geologist scheduled to assess cause and stability this week.

	I can agree that trees can be a safety issue. I remember the one on the ledge at the top of GM 1st pitch. Thought it was solid and it came completely off. There's also some scary ones at the top of the rotten section of the quarry. Huge rockfall that landed right near Zoom and next to the road was caused by toppling tree. Zodiac Wall rockfall was registered by seismograph in Vancouver. Over 1000 cubic meters fell off- both events caused by trees and basically roots dislodging huge chunks of rock. Contrary to popular beliefs forestation of these cliffs is rather new event. I do not know if there are any pictures showing Index town walls from way back, but in Squamish you can clearly see these cliffs were free of trees and shrubbery in early 20th century. I think some sort of tree management in these areas is not only good, but maybe necessary course of action to preserve both cliffs themselves and ensure some sort of safety for the future.
 - 
	What trees can do do a cliff can be observed on the top and bottom of Zodiac Wall in Squamish or in Country sector at Index. Lucky us nobody was killed, but trees growing on these cliffs are becoming quickly a real safety issue.

	There's no reason you can't, at the same time, be as environmentally conscious as possible. Sure the modern first world existence has impact, but there's no reason it can't be minimized as much as practically possible. So you are driving a friggin car, on a paved road, use electricity created from dammed rivers or cole, but you are worrying about impact of a few bolts? Sure, I try to avoid shitting on every ledge, or leaving plastic from Gu packages, but fuck sakes let's keep things in some logical perspective. And let's not forget that initial poster wrote it as another cheap shot, shitty-self righteous jab after Dean Potter death.
 - 
	For fuck sakes, just go climbing and enjoy it. Talking about impacts: you are driving a friggin car on a paved road, emitting mass pollution, use gear produce with huge amount of resources, in a lot situation produced with child labor in some third world country, and you are talking about "doing the right thing"? WTF?!

If you claim to be Libertarian, which candidates did you vote for in 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012? If you have not casted a vote for Libertarian candidate, but voted for a Republican, that makes you Republican. T-A=0, remember? Well, that ideology worked great between 1939 and 1945, didn't it? There is a great difference between patriotism and nationalism, and we know exactly how the second one always ends. Would be a good time to re-think your points of view. -

track record also indicates a recession within first 12-18 months from taking the office. Because it's the only end result possible from fleecing of remnants of middle class to support corporate welfare. -

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything of the sort. But I am enjoying mocking you, assholekisser. Very much, in fact. Am I supposed to care about your opinion? Life is too short to deal or care about wankers like you. I learned to ignore salty breath faders (like yourself) long, long time ago. Happy trails gerbil spelunker. -

Well, that's setting a pretty low bar - at least he's not a truther. While you don't have to be smart academically, you have to be a quick study and be able to sift through the mounds of information coming your way, weight the advice of staff, and make sound decisions. After 911 I thought, maybe, that Bush was in a position of history and that he would quickly grow to meet the demands of his stature. Boy was I wrong. Instead, he fell into the neocon reactionary group and here we are. Biggest foreign policy blunder in the last 75 years. *yawn*. keep living in the past and enjoying your hyperbole. Loser. Well, I think you are the one living in the past, trying to convince the rest of the world about washed up ideology of neo-cons and their fucked economic and military doctrines. Just the fact that in less then 7 years the very ideology managed to wipe out budget surplus and turn it into the worst economic disaster in 70 years shows undeniable fact of who was right and who was wrong. But it's obvious logic and objectivity are not strong suites of people like yourself. - 
	Just the fact some people have positive and some negative opinion shows real value of his impact on climbing community at large. As far as some of his actions- nobody is perfect at every moment of their lives.

What was Obama's GPA? He graduated magna cum laude. He was also a president of Harvard Law Review. That is probably significantly higher, then 77 or C- achieved by Bush. - 
	Ivan, climbing put up a post on their web page. I do not know why the link doesn't work (looks like the whole web page is down), but it is so. Sad-yes, surprised- no.

The difference I see is that fackuroo is not running for presidency, or any public office. You have to be a total fuckhead not to notice the big difference, and even attempt to compare. -

He graduated in 1968 from Yale with BA in history, not exactly the toughest degree to get. He graduated from Harvard with MBA and C- (77) grade average. I would say his scholar credentials are rather severely fucking lackluster as far as a leadership of this country. But mediocracy and race to the bottom is what Republican party is all about, which you have just proved in your own words. -

The whole thing is absolute nonsense. So who the fuck is going to enforce 1/3 rule? Talking about creating bureaucracy. And if you are agreeing with this law, then your whole argument about smaller and less intrusive government goes out through the window. What is sounds like is you really don't want smaller government at all. You want a bigger government with bigger stick, so it can enforce YOUR point of view. Your bullshit hypocrisy has no boundaries. -

Tell us about how much smarter underground power lines would be again, assholekisser. I mean if you have time in between hand jobs for your "clients". Tell us about "smaller government" in Wisconsin telling people what to eat.
