At some point in the past few months there was a massive rock fall from the cliff to the climbers left, near the developed cliff. It broke trees, and effectively vaporized the access trail. Also right behind a parking lot there is a whole pillar, now on the ground, with boulder as large as a tour bus. There seems to be some new route activity. However leaving a fixed line with a bunch of draws might not be such a good idea. Even new route development is legal at the moment, leaving a whole bunch of gear hanging might not "fly" with the park service. I know for fact, that a few rangers go climbing there on occasion. Here is the link to the agreement:http://www.nps.gov/noca/parkmgmt/upload/Interim%20Agreement_Climbing%20Management1.pdf

i remember sitting in ER in Reno for 6 hours to get stitches in my toe. so you are full of shit with your 20 minutes wait.

webcam shows pretty much no snow as of yesterday on hills around Penticton. So if there is now snow is the lot open then automatically?

Dru, I checked skaha.org before posting. Last entry was from Mar 8th, stating that the road was still snowed up and the lot will be re-opened later in March. No news on fees, and no updates since March 8th.

Is the new parking lot to Skaha Bluffs open yet? What is the situation with fee for parking?

pink, just like color of fw warmring. you piss sicking golden shower closet puff. get off my soap box cunt.

You've proved once again that you can take the boy outta the commie, but you can't take the commie out of the boy. if you are so much for a free enterprise, why don't you object to the fact of AIG taking money from the FED?As the matter of fact right now the US Government is the majority share holder in this company, hence implementing such pay scale would not be so strange. These "bright" individuals leveraged 35:1 the assets of the company and they should be getting fired, rather then getting millions of dollars in bonuses, financed by US taxpayers. however you seem not to be able to comprehend simple facts. your insults are WEAK you fig pucker. McCain by landslide....... now fuck off.

hey jizzwad- there is no one talking more about constitutionality and constitution law then you. so SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH! you are just annoying little cry cunt.

here is an idea: "What about the American middle class...aren’t we too big to be allowed to fail? I'm sick of this "we've got to pay them top dollar...they're the best!" excuse as well. AIG has been run aground under the stewardship of these same individuals; they can't be that much more talented than the rest of us. If AIG is in fact "being operated principally on behalf of the American taxpayers" as Mr. Liddy has stated, then convert the AIG staff's pay scale to the federal employee's pay structure. Either they accept it...or they can go kick rocks..."

since you named yourself after a color of your own cornholed warmring, your comment doesn't really carry much weight. now get the fuck out of my sandbox beotch.

I say you're an arrogant ass and socially retarded to boot. Irrespective of what Palin's daughter does you have some snide comment to make. You're more uptight and judgmental than any right winger I've heard talk on the subject. MKTHNXBYE need a tissue fader? i don't think even fw is as socially retarded as you, salty breath. but to be honest it's a close one indeed.

i did not include my climbing resume in my post, so are you talking about yourself then? Grab a beer and relax. I pointed out to the difference in word meaning used by you in your post.

Word on the street is that GGK had a lot of Russians in him, as a boy; maybe something rubbed off. just like your mom?

Maybe here, but not in Europe. It was climbers like François Damilano, Peroux (sp?) or Thierry Renau, who visited Canadian Rockies and brought this ethic to the old continent. Thats where the statement was from. But that did not happen till the mid 80's. Don't sink to the arguments of penis measurements. It's just lame and doesn't add you credibility. now back to the main subject: as you Quote Rafal Slawinski: , where do you see reinvented or invented? That's the whole point of argument: redefining not inventing. it's more then semantics. Two words and two different meanings. Sorry to piss into your sandbox.

now aren't you a brilliant one? isn't it the deregulation that led to this mess in the first place? and what inflation, we are dealing with deflation now.

just in case someone is wondering: i am not some anonymous troll. my real name is Robert Rogoz aka Polishbob how come are you still trying this approach? reinvented- i think not. maybe improved at the most. the article you are referring to in AAJ by Rafal "Degrees of freedom" pretty much states that. i am in a process of filming a documentary with Rafal, hence i have a few hours of interviews with him, and he always points out the mastery of "old school". Rafal is a friend of my and i know him now for almost a decade and a half, and neither in his article nor in real life i have never heard him saying statements you suggest. If i am mistaken please please provide me with your sources, so we can verify the record. styles change and evolve. they also become more defined. no i did not start climbing in the 70, but in 1980 for the record. therefor a lot what you are talking about i witnessed first hand. for instance- hanging from the tools in your harness while rigging the pro was an accepted practice. now it is not. however you have to remember that "redpoint" or "on sight" was not in a climbing vocabulary till about 1982/83. till that time you were just doing the routes, particularly on big alpine. there are a lot of big routes from the 80's era, which are either repeated nor even attempted again. K2 South Face (Kukuczka/Piotrowski), G4 West face (Kurtyka/Schauer), Broad Peak traverse (Kukuczka/Kurtyka), Golden Pillar of Spantik (Fowler/Saunders) just to name a few. somehow i don't see a lineup of the teams under them. as the matter of fact on some of them bolts were added (Spantik) or fixed ropes were used (G4) later. Is that a progress? is just another bullshit statement posted on internet without merit. also americans were not in the forefront of the development, more like a minority compared to the other nations contributing to the development of climbing. they were a part of the "scene", but much, much smaller then you stated. anyway- i am done with the topic, so don't expect more responses. imo you are stating a distorted picture without historical accuracy, full of hype and spin and you are not doing a community any service by doing so. before writing a bunch of "facts" maybe you should talk to characters and players involved.

you are splitting hair on names. "modern mixed" and "light and fast" was called alpine climbing in the 70's. Routes on Ben were climbed in the 70's, Point Zero was done in the 50's. Routes done in the 70's and 80's are graded now at M5, 6 or 7 (like Colin's and Steve's route on Robson). Who cares if if they hooked on not- they climbed without hanging on gear. "modern mixed" and "light and fast" are just another hype without much substance. Climbers climbed like that long before internet was invented. Hype is nothing new- read "The art of suffering" by Kurtyka.

rush is sooo patriotic: "During his program Monday, Limbaugh, who used a nearly 1 1/2-hour speech before conservative activists in Washington Saturday to assert that Republicans should want Obama to fail"
