Oooh! Can I com and just gape? And Drink?

I believe the Hidden Forest cave actually had some bolted lines at one point in time. Have folks on the site here been ticketed by FS rangers or asked to not climb? I'm curious as to what they have said. The above document also talks about the Access Fund getting involved around the time of its writing. Just trying to get the scoop, any more info would be 'preciated. Timmy, I was actually at Skeleton and watched the rangers move rocks under the boulder problems and told us that if we were caught using chalk, we'd get a $50 fine. And yeah, there used to be bolted routes at Hidden Forest. As a matter of fact, the caves are a segment in "Masters of Stone II" It opens with Skeleton and a tagline that reads "Somewhere in Oregon" I probl'y have more. I'll post as I remember, or you can pm me for beta. -Ron Also, I believe Larry Brumwell has some beta about this.

I got some whack message like "membership pending" or some shit like that. And feel free to pm me with any adventure climbs you know about in SW Oregon. I'll be more than happy to listen. Shit, I'll even pop for

I've seen it both ways. And I didn't say there aren't older people that aren't complete fucking wimps, cuz believe me there are plenty o those too.

Mmm.... fried cat. Good with BBQ sauce.

I recently discovered som crazy ass Gin from Scotland with Cucumber in it. Fucking shit's wierd, but it makes a damn good Martini. Alcohol. the great social lubricant.

Then again, you might come up short only once. I like twin 60m 8.7 for long routes. That is as long as is practical though, in my opinion. It is difficult to communicate between belay ledges, rope drag, management on ledges, weight. The twins still get you off quickly in storms and late descents and it opens up rap lines that look impractical otherwise. I'm with bug. Even at 60 M, communication is almost impossible sometimes with anything other than a light breeze (I solved this by buying a pair of walkie talkies). And that 100 M rope seems like it'd be a belay staion nightmare. more pieces to place, etc. etc. I can see it having it's place, like on long sport routes (Potter's new linkup comes to mind) but in general seems like it'd be a major pain in the kiester.

I'm with you guys. I've seen that often also. Fucking youngsters calling in sick and shit. I never call in sick from my own irresposnible behavior from the night before. It's called ADULTHOOD. Take your fucking lumps and STFU. Then at the end of the day:

I did the exact same thing at Smith once. Got to the anchors on Shamu, was setting up a rap, and noticed I wasn't doubled back right before I leaned back to rap down. Eep. Glad I'm still here.

Timmy! THANK GOD YOU'RE BACK!!!

And Jameson. That's good too.

MAKERS MARK. MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm GOOD!

That's pretty good, Fern. I hate rapping. Sketchiest part o' climbing. I always triple check.

your guy's spray gets me through the day. Thanks! 4:20: We used to call that a "safety meeting"

Spray is aid.

Too bad they can't make one of those for my mental state.

"The Pusher" although performed in exemplary style by Steppenwolf, was actually written by Hoyt Axton. I think his name is listed on the back jacket. Oops, dating myself... Still, Steppenwolf is great. I'm with you DFA, Curtis Mayfield is one the mostest, pimpinest, mackest daddy musician type dudes of all time.

Hey I think I might have done that drunk one night. I thought the lid felt heavier than usual.

AWESOME

Only on Rye bread.

There's quite a bit more here Shudder shudder. GROSS. reading that link gave me the willies.

Snoboy, thanks for you input. I also need a new device, as my trusty Pyramid is well worn. I was wondering about the B 52. I think I'll pick one up.

I like my Trango pyramid. It dissipates heat really well. The BD ATC is good too. Seems like EVERYBODY has got one of those. Of course for hangdogs a Grigri is good, but spendy.

WOW. I really am a Jew. Bar mitzvahed in Detroit city baby!

shut your mouth filthy anti-semite But I am a Semite!
