The answer is yes. I was warehouseman for Timberline lodge for a while, and in the fall you can do one of the most killer mountain bike rides around from the lodge to Rhododendron: 10,000 vertical feet over 11 miles!!! I never rode UP, but the ride down goes from sno-cat track (Lodge to Gov't Camp), then the old highway, then singletrack to Rhodie. PM me for exact details. I used to have to use Scott Mathauser pads, bucause the descent would burn up even kool-stops (this was before disc brakes). One guy took out a group of Brownies coming around a corner on the singletrack, and almost got the trail shut down for bikers. Above the lodge you are on your own.

The Backside of Route!

I guess I Mythd that part of the lecture...

Isn't there an old adage: Chop Bolts Carry Ethics

On a related note: I'm Sure You Know This ... Manure. In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term "Ship High In Transit" on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane. Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T " , (Ship High In Transit) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day. I had always thought it was a golf term

I already have enough "random people reacting to me" in my social diet! Thanks, though.

Bump. beginnings

Bump, and a tentacley tickle at your shoulder...

RRRRRRRAAAAAAARRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!! (Translation: The Chewbacca Forum!!!!)

Good training for Hueco Tanks: traverse broken glass top 'til pumped, no bleeding allowed.

Maybe they were going to fix it below the tree. A nice cozy Beetle would be waaayyy nicer than the dicey traverse from the dike route

Dude looks like he has the full-on neck beard going, that gets Oly every time.

Thank you, you just redeemed yourself for icky-poopy site.

If it is an obviously established bouldering area, and the bolters didn't check with any of the boulderers that did FA's, chopping is acceptable, IMO There is a risk of escalation, however that might lead to damaged holds, or other repercussions.

In a pocket hold: bees, snakes or spiders Oh My!

I said quakin' not quackin'!

Why do you post them here? Have you not a shred of grace?

You probably weren't one with the rock, like Dean. Orchardists and Sheriffs are trained to spot that stuff.

Who wouldn't agree with that? I'm Quakin'!!!

Yeah, but this is the (supposedly ) NEW, EXCITING BLOOD-LUSTING PIRATES FORUM , not your run-of-the-mill grist.

How about the one alpine peak that a famous tick-list climber didn't climb (for posterity), and took Mike 4? 5? tries? Saggitarius: Thanks, Blake. Anyone who wishes to call themselves a 5.10 trad climber should be able to do this benchmark climb, to the second anchors. Apparently, easily! To say it is not hard and psychologically challenging, even to an experienced climber, is a That is a person who has lost their beginnings, and probably, the true path that Dean has shown us.
