I don't think I have ever stopped at the lower anchors, and I agree - the follower is much better off from the upper anchors. That being said, I don't agree with someone who didn't put up the route chopping the lower anchors (can this statement be verified?!?) Were these anchors added after the FFA? Do we know who put them there? Questions obviously remain....

Sweet. Thanks, Buddy! sickie

Thanks for the bump

That's the one. Isn't there a place on Aurora that does conversions? Like 55th or something? Thanks for the info, Pax. Check your PM's Erik

Not having much luck finding it online - anyone know where to rent, borrow or buy a copy of this Movie? Thanks, Erik

Cool. I just downloaded the Pine Barrens Frog ringtone

How can you climb when you have two jobs?

--Putting up with partners "peculiarities" for many days in a row --Bathing in a freezing creek --Not being able to carry enough beer for multi-day endeavors --Glissade without ice-axe --Dodging rockfall when pulling ropes

Never leave home without them!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Saturday: Did First ascents of two routes with David Bloom,one is an amazingly pocketed, slightly overhanging 5.10b. 11 bolts, 90 feet. Ultra classic. Also, a pumpy, short .11c where you have to lean/fall over a 3-1/2 foot precipice to grab the starting holds. Amazing bullet sandstone jughandles for the first 30 feet, slightly overhanging. The .11c crux hits after 40 feet of pumpy .10, and the only rest at "The Brain", a limestone-like formation. Sunday: Put up another first ascent. 5.11d, the crux being a 5 foot reach sideways off a potato chip, then matching hands on slopey pockets, paste feet and power-pull for big jug. Just another weekend of spending $200 on route hardware! There are still a .12a and .12d waiting for sends. I think I can get the .12a after a rest day. It is 100 feet long, 2 seperate .11+ cruxes, then finishing on an steep headwall on melon shaped jugs. It will be called "Melonoma" if I can hang on to the finishing jugs. Jesus, what a pump. Ta-ta!

Hey! There's STILL no new Smith Rock Guide!!

I know you folks got some ideas.... Putting on the 60 pound pack on the second day of an approach. Masturbating in your shared tent without your partner knowing. Dealing with Poison ivy/oak without Technu on a muti-day trip. Others?

Jeff Lowe and RRK get into it OMG

MOUNTAINEER: Waxes poetically about the process, style, timing and flow of a proper piss, including use of two of the 10 essentials. Followed by an involuntary release into shorts-over-polypro when handed the rack.

Trolled and pwned, all in one thread.

Now that you have posted something unrelated to climbing or the thread, it is.

And That Is The Lovin We Seek. Thanks for the reminder

89 just south of Weed to 44 then to Susanville, as Malcon said.

Josh Wharton also chopped bolts at my favorite Renton Crag, and is singularly responsible for the delay in the new Smith Rock Guide. Why, Josh Wharton? Why?
