Wow! The push to get that time on this monster traverse is just stunning! Hard fukking Core! Respect.

I logged on just to say "MEH". This effort, IHOP, is fruitful...

My prayers will be with you tomorrow afternoon, Lowell.

There's just no getting through to some people...

This is going to wreak havoc on the State Ferry system in and out of Anancortes, not to mention regular traffic from Mount Vernon, LaConner, and Oak Harbor. The Skagit Flats roads will be jammed. Also, the Mount Vernon to Everett commuters? Better leave early and come home late. Major trucking corridor for US/Canadian goods, additionally. This is going to be a rough 4-5 months. Glad everyone was OK.

The day is finally here! "Sedona Rocks! A Climber's Guide" is finally published and available. Yay! Just got our first shipment of books today!

The book is color cover with traditional black-and-white interior. Thanks to everyone that contributed, your help was invaluable and we hope we did it justice with this.

Please join us for the official event. Enjoy! Erik and David.

At first blush, it sounds like a rappel malfunction. Maybe she pulled a Yabo and aimed for the tree... Hope she heals up quickly!

This thread isn't official until Dwayner gives the "thumbs-up" for the bolt-chopping.... ...and, Party on Wayne!

Did you hear the one about the kid that came back from the dentist all excited? He told his parents they could get rid of the toothpaste. "The dentist told me I the only thing I needed to keep my teeth clean was bacon and soda!" ...

Thanks, Guys! That is actually a trash-grabby salute from Yosemite Facelift volunteers. We got married during the clean-up event.

My climbing and life partner Skip and I got hitched in the Vally last month. Doug Robinson was our minister. Family, a bunch of friends and a few other legends such as Jim Donini, Peter Haan, Jay "OW" Anderson and John Stannard came to celebrate with us. Just thought I would share the announcement and stuff here, since I have a few friends in the PNW who might be interested. The trip report is here: Wedding Trip Report Off to counseling now! Erik

Yep, the thread started by "Guests" railing against Jon is gone. I called him out on it (my post got deleted as well), and he gets on my wedding thread and posts this: LOL! Love that they have a Dan filter over there, too. OOOO! "50+ posts over 15 years"! OMG, that's like THREE a year! How obsessive of me! What a tool. My new wife had a sense of humor about it, though - here's what she wrote in response to him:

Some people just never get over their psychosis.

Just got the word from Mikey - thanks, everyone! An oldy but a goody.

Thanks, Lance. It's somehow feels like the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about. So much concern, for so many years this one really pulls on some old worries. Thanks, Erik

How come it is always sunny in that video? Makes me suspicious right off. Man, I do miss the Boundary Bay IPA, though...

Yes, I got my hands on #63 of 200, and am starting the process of setting it up through our print-on-demand CreateSpace account. We already have it set up for the new Sedona AZ guide so, while I am whiling away the time, started this: Honestly, I don't even know if anyone cares, but I never thought 200 editions was enough. It is also bringing back a flood of good memories with great people as well. As I stated elsewhere about the UW Wall: I never actually saw a copy of the Smoot guide, though I know it exists.

Damn. This is really bad news, Joe was a super solid dude with a great heart and spirit. Really bummed about this news. Erik Just saw this over on another site:
