Light rail to the aiport is an obvious start for a metropolitan area. I'm sorry it doesn't cater to your commute. I fail to see how transit from the airport to seattle caters to politicians. I really doubt they will be on public transit. It does, however, cater to tourism. It isn't always about you folks. Sometimes you gotta stop whining about what you didn't get and wait your turn.

Light rail is quietly plugging away. Have you seen the elevated structures near the airport?

I drive a lot. To work, to play, etc... As it is, I'm trying to work up the sack to ride my bike the 25 miles (one way) to work. I've done it before, I'm just being a sissy. I like my coffee and NPR on the way in. I for one, would love to see $10/gallon gas. It is the only way that we will reform the transportation systems for most of the US. It's the only way we will change our entrenched car culture. MY only regret is that assholes like Exxon and BP will get unbelievably rich while we are at it.

Do they really travel from BC to get to Vantage? It's a fun "local" place to climb, but I wouldn't make much effort to get there.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

You are more likely to get laid if you aren't an asshole, can carry on a decent conversation, and you take care of yourself. hmm...so you're saying no kinda climbers got much chance of getting a slice of the shush? Ab-so-f*cking-loot-lee

POE-TAY-TOE POE-TAH-TOE Imagine what could be achieved if we harnessed all of this brain power for good.

It all begins and ends where you want it to. But who really cares about the taxonomy of a climb? Where does hiking end and mountaineering begin? Why do I keep asking pointless questions?

They were in cages, on a catwalk, generally doing what they could to avoid the huge robots and pyrotechnics.

I saw Rob Zombie at the Tacoma Dome a few years back. I liked the theatrics. The huge robot and big-bottom go go dancers were rad. FYI - GWAR sucks. That's right. GWAR sucks.

Most Efficient Way to Jumar or Ascend Fixed Lines

I weigh more than any other climber I know, and I've had no difficulty jugging a pitch. Keep it simple. If you will be jugging a few overhanging pitches, figure out the frog. Rock and Ice has a really good article in their tech pages on this system. If you are only jugging, you could make some non-adjustable foot stirrups like MattP suggests. Use a rubber band to keep them on your feet. Girth hitches and other slipknots will hurt your feet after a short while. I've cleaned with a Gri Gri on my harness. It was wierd for me, but I'm used to the two jumar system. I've heard that it's great for cleaning traverses, but I've never tried it there. Underworld - Aren't you a fan of the one Gri Gri, one jumar method? -
If we wanted reasonable logic, we would post at CascadeHikers.com.

Dude, your xenophobia is showing. Let's leave it at "Crazies" pretty much everyone here started as an immigrant. Not to mention the loonie from VT had been in this country for 14 years (or so).

The Easy Aider and Daisy set up is great for jugging. You can adjust the length until it is just right and the damn thing won't fall off your foot, no matter what you do. THe setup is basically what Lambone describes - One aider and one daisy on each Jumar. Make one aider (typically the left) a little shorter than the other (one step). Everythingg else works just like FOTH. Russian aiders have no benefit over the metolius stuff for jugging. The best way to get better at jugging is to get a system you like and to use it a lot. -

And why doesn't anyone mention the rooster? Didn't he have at least a small part in this? You know, some hot cloaca on cloaca action? Dammit Arch beat me...

I disagree with what I think you are suggesting for two reasons. (1) those gun people are full of dookie and they have blood on their hands, a lack of self-esteem, and I hate them - those little complainers (waah waah waah, the liberals want to take away our rights...) and (2) this an important issue that bears discussion even if it becomes a circular one. Why bother if you know it is a circular issue? Disagreeing can be enough. Next up: The chicken and the egg
