Here I sit in another airport, feet draped across the armrest, spraying into cyberspace again. It makes me laugh, I post from hotels, airports and work, with the occasional home spray thrown in for good luck. So...

Why is there not many listed Washington routes? Washington's frustrating short climbing season coupled with a growing population of radical anti-bolt mullahs preaching their own brand of rhetoric have really discouraged public displays of new crags. Like any of you need to be reminded. Too bad, I have a dozen great late model 5.11/12s with low miles, only climbed a couple times by a little lady who did not use chalk...

Nice one Wayne! Good frickin' job!

Well done, congratulations on hooking it up.

Wow, that's really interesting, I had no idea! Funny, I have been looking at commercials for the show all week. Congratulations!

Too bad, End Run was a fun route to climb.

Best thread all hour!

NF Maude sidebar: Was sitting on the front porch the other day and a fella from the co-op stops by to look at the pears in the orchard. We get to talking and somehow climbing comes up, we talk the talk, he says that he dosent climb much anymore, turns out he did the FA of the NF of Maude a long time ago. Small world.

I just want my frickin' calendar, I paid some guy in Africa $39.99 for one and it still has not arrived as promised ...

Tell her yourself, she's hanging around here. You should see her in rain gear!

Wow, nice to see some great looking rock! Good job guys. Anyone ever climbed up on the Squire creek wall? I spoke to crazy Chris C. many years back, never been up there though.

Rob, Look forward to seeing you there, look for us, we will be the ones having a very good time!

Let this be a lession to all of you weak climbers, we don't want you ruining our hard routes.

Yeah, I really cannot stop scraching that open sore... maybe just a few more scraches, damn, this thing just is not healing, I wonder why?

Oh, everywhere has it's perks. PS; if any of you people of earth whitewater kayak and need partner, PM. I am a very excitable beginner.

Best bear/intelligence comparison poll this quarter!

Seventh worst thread this hour.

Worst insult thread this week

I am the best climber in my world! Allow me to pass you, or suffer the rapier wit that is mine~ Let me tell you a real climbing story, you will love it! Listen to my loud voice, my booming baritone beta! Helplessly watch as my dogs get into your stuff. Aren't they cute? "Who is that asshole?" your partner asks later, "I don't know, but he thinks he's the greatest* climber in the world" as you lose sight of him below. *Edit for unnessiary profanity

Best that you scared him off, you know it goes... ~You don't scare bear, bear becomes fixture around house. Feed bear part of veggie burrito, bear shows favorable response to your cooking. Bear comes around at lunch again. Dogs sent mixed messages, get more disgruntled. You invite bear up on porch for lemonade, pork chop leftovers, potato salad. Bear and you hit it off, things never better! You love bear, but he still bear, makes den out of blankets and sleeps all the time, poor personal hygene. Bear starts sleeping on the couch, claims old hunting wound hutting. Driving home from work one day, you swear you see bear's poop by your friend Kim's garbage cans, doubt creeps in. Bear gets chased by your dogs, does not come home for 3 days, you fret, worry for bear. You get up for glass of water, catch bear watching Showtime adult movie. Pissed, you kick bear out, he poops in driveway and does not return call... Work is OK, but lonely at home, nature shows make you cry. Stupid bird feeder your sister gave you "just not the same as feeding bear". One day, you notice cute little bird keeps hanging around feeder, soon eating out of your hand...
