I had 4 draws taken a few years back, then a cam also near Godzilla, also on a busy weekend. Since I get bro deals from Metolius most of my gear is actually stamped with letters BOB, so there is no question about the gear ownership. And I am pretty sure my gear was not taken by mistake or lost.

Is anyone still brushing holds? Friggin WW1 wall should be power washed, as basically you are climbing on combination caked chalk and baked shoe rubber, not on rock. Between foothold polished to the point, you can actually see your own reflection, and chalk powdercoating, the place is turning into a real pile of garbage. Most likely the water running down the wall just makes things worst, and nobody is even carrying a brush anymore, probably my first and last visit this year to climb on this pile of turd. I guess the number of assholes going climbing is increasing…..

"The Sheriff’s Office says it appears that the climbers were free-climbing without ropes at the time of the accident." Why doesn't media know the difference between soloing and free climbing? We saw helicopter flying and long lining something on Sunday morning, possible the body recovery. I also think rope would actually do more harm then good on W Ridge.

Northern Alpine Guides- Seth is super nice guy, formerly from Bellingham. He can provide all the local beta.

If it gets too big, might be in a risk for rectal prolapse. The only way to reduce such is pour some sugar on it.

Selling Grivel G10- straps version. Used, but plenty of life left. They are with straps, so you can even use them with running shoes. $65 plus shipping. I live in Bellingham, local pick up possible.

Wishing a speedy recovery, which by sound of it will be quite long. It's not the first time PNW climbing community member was injured/killed by negligent partner.

After the results of primaries, some of the Congress members will be visiting the local unemployment office. Republifucks are developing a chronic case of cannibalism- eating their own. Pretty funny. Long term makes me wonder about the future of this country- looks like parts of the country are becoming so stupid, they can't really make right choices. Cantor was not big enough asshole?

Of course hoax news is calling his dad taliban sympathizer…..

Well, anyone from the Duck Dynasty would be considered Taliban sympathizer as well.

I love how McSame is spouting off about this exchange. Makes me wonder whom was HE exchanged for to secure his release. According to some first hand accounts he was an extremely reckless pilot, so his capture by N.Vietnam can be blamed on him. So by his logic, he should have been kept in POW camp much longer, since it was his own fault to be captured in the first place.

I dare anyone to try and jam on White Feather pitch without taping. It really helps to get solid jams, particularly if the crack is wet inside. A lot of guys in Squamish are using them. But you have to get this particular model, as the rest of them simply suck.

Yeah, but what will people rage about then? your mom?

So if the person going slow in the fast lane is doing the speed limit it doesn't affect you because you're respecting the speed limit rule? Yes it does. The right lane rule states that if the right lane is open, you are supposed to move to the right regardless of your speed, and keep the passing lane for……passing.

Nice to have a paper bag with dog shit for stuff like that, or a balloon full of piss for the days below freezing.

probably order large or xl.

how do you think I found out about velcro gloves?

It's more about road safety, as passing on the right is far more dangerous for other drivers. But it's the slow laft lane motherfuckers, who don't get idea, how dangerous their driving is. If they started busting also for too slow merging onto a freeway, I would be perfectly happy with that as well.

crack gloves They are one of the best products I recently used.

Why do you say I am angry? I am not, but I do not like selfish assholes not respecting rules. The rule clearly states, if the right lane is open and you are not actively passing another vehicle, you are supposed to drive in right lane. So OMG, how hard is it to follow this rule? So it's not about being in thew hurry, but it's about NOT BEING AN ARROGANT SELF CENTERED ASSHOLE- so hard to comprehend this idea?

Even if you are doing speed limit and the right lane is open, the law clearly states left lane is for passing only, and you are supposed to move to the right. Which part ofd this rule people have hard time understanding? So it's not about enforcing speed, but move to the right rule.

get in the right lane faders! Finally cops are doing the right thing. I hate left lane driving road maggots.

I climbed a bunch with Doug back in 1989/90. He arrived at Smith for a couple of months before heading to Reed College. Have bumped into him several times after that in the 90's. He seemed normal back then. WTF is wrong with him?

Hard or easy is relative. 11's used to be easy, now they seem hard. However watching how top climbers climb at the crag, even lower 13's don't earn bragging rights nowadays. 5.11 is something anyone with a bit of dedication to training can do. On a personal level it might be hard, but in objective terms not so much. I am not trying to diss personal ability of climbers, but the conduct of tick marking a piss out of any given route.
