Replacing old anchor bolts seems fine with me, but adding new protection bolts to protect long standing traditional pitches is silly. Of course, climbing in general is silly, as it is a pointless, selfish exersise.

The UW rock is a Seattle icon, and should be rallied around by all PNW climbers, as nearly all of us have climbed there. If they want to build an overpass where the rock is, prehaps they can just build a new wall under the freeway ala burnside skate park in Portland or the mtn bike trails in Seattle. The atmosphere would be compromised, but at least the new structure would be dry 24/7 year round.

Good times this weekend, climbed both days. Me & Li did a fine adventure route and were rewarded with 20 year old webbing at the top.

Isn't there some real rocks somewhere around town?

When you're hot, you're hot.

Weather's nice down here. Come on down, we'll leave the lights on for you. That is all

Cosmic wall is an I-5 must do!

Evergreen used to a outside wall, I remember bouldering there.

perfect weather + everyone is still in utah/ the valley x 2000 routes = right now

Your comment reminds me of almost getting fucking stomped by cranked up locals at the Summer Meltdown in Darrington. Next time Benny, next time i'll say yes to your offer of help!

As you can see in this map I drew, many subtle boundarys exist: *The Suan Juans are really part of Canada *Port Townsend is part of Seattle *Kelso is much bigger than first thought * Idaho extends west to hwy 97 at Ellensberg * North Central Washington is a scary,dangerous place * Winthrop, Spokane and The Enchantments are a suburbs of Seattle

Sad, you leave out so many great hicktowns by only looking in King and Pierce counties. A short list of some of the finer places that don't allow cauk boots inside: Concrete Darrington Forks Granite Falls Packwood Republic Sultan

My pop and I saw two bears on our recient trip up to Goat Flats. Pretty cool to see bears, but I was hoping for a sasquach.

This kind of removable bolt? You mean a scaffolding anchor?

I took my WFR through AAI in Bellingham. Kelly Turner was a fantistic teacher, his coverage of alternative medicines and care techniques was an valuable compliment to the standard blood and guts stuff.

The meltdown was really fun! Good friends, good music. Best festival between Hazel and Fortson!

Third beach bouldering Low tide is preferred, consult tide tables before starting out. Most boulders are south of the trail, some kinda manditory 2nd/ 3rd class, nice sand landings. Water shoes a plus for aqua- rich sit starts.

Yeah, where did that thing go?... you might have got a few bucks from me!

The climb to the right is fun as well.

Be sure to find the tree rappel in the trees below Kieths, it leads to a bolted anchor on top of Gorilla of my dreams at the Winkie Dinky cliff, where you can get a few more pitches in. Better than the walk back down the upper wall trail. One can then rap to Terminal Preppie (by Roger's corner), making for a TR-riffic day of climbing!

Well, I never posted such a large picture of myself, but I guess it's ok for you to do so. Note the Index tick list shirt, homemade hat and pants and custom marble bag that holds the pieces of scavenged chalk...

Olys gif opened the door wide open to a new all gifs all the time thread.... it's a new all time low!

How about one you can pee into so you don't miss a moment of that oh-so exciting baseball game? Prehaps a half and half model?

Blue steel?
