That's what I'm talking about!!

I am getting so excited, I feel like my dog when we let him off the leash!

The "Nevada Marrige Parole Board" has deemed me safe to come home for a visit. Looking for partners for rock climbing. April 8-18 No offwidth, my leg beeper gets stuck.

They just sent a 8 page mock-up to get me to subscribe...and of course I did.

don't forget Bob Wagner as the evil brother...

Good thread! The most toproped 5.13 in Washington, City Park is still hard after all these years. A testpiece that stands apart, Even on a busy Saturday, no wait in line.... Strength is meaningless in the face of unrelenting pain. Lowering from the swank anchors, your thoughts flush with recent sucess, fingers lightly brushing the crack, you desend A finger slips into a bomber lock, you call for tension. "I'll try from here, watch me dude..."

I saw them live, the bigfoot suit would have come in handy. most people in the crowd were kinda dazzled but confused by a band dressed as bunnys singing about robots. They did a smokin' cover of "seven nation army" by the White Stripes, Wayne sung thru a megaphone. Any of you guys have a copy of Zareka? (sic)

....nnnnnow.

Strange, they gave him the face of a drunken Irishman...

My wife and I are sewing matching ones...We are going to recite our wedding vows dressed as sasquach. (they were all out of stormtroopers)

Fairweather, your views are not crazy, and your arguements interesting. Don't mistake my stance, I just tend to believe that green policys do not pull much weight around Washington DC right now.

The speed of the autoreply made my head spin...

I just thought that I would write the president a short email concerning his progress and provided some constructive ideas to toss around the staff meetings. Prehaps you should do the same.... president@whitehouse.gov

I believe that the wilderness thing will be null and void soon anyway... how can we have wilderness if there is nobody being paid to protect it? Fairweather, I think many of us agree with the principals of goverment leaving us alone and freedom to explore this country as we see fit. We just want to do our thing like everyone else... Sadly, this administration is opening the door to allow his oil, gas, and mining friends to have their way with your forests, water and air. In the end, I would rather have wilderness that I cannot "use" than have "public land" that gets leased to the highest bidder, who then plows, cuts and kills everything just so I can wipe my ass with a little square of extra soft paper.

....and it's not my rock wall.

A friend of mine took the wipper on City Park P2...hit the ledge and bounced off. I wonder if he would like to see a new bolt? As a fellow height challenged climber, I appreciate the crusty spinning 1/4'' relic. It gives me the confidence to pull the wierd, reachy crux, I think I backed it up with 2 wires last time...

Yeah, there are a couple bolts, this may well be one of the wildest climbs in Index. Too bad the start is a munge death crawl...

On a wierd note, you also took a fine picture of the upper part of Natural Log Cabin, made famous by Super Dave Moralis. The amazing sit down rest is marked.

Stare at this for two minutes and tell me that it's a hoax.

congrats on a dilligent effort!

My friend fell off Big Jim Mtn, I'm sure he could give a good report....

During the last week, I went to JT with some school chums. The weather was mostly rain, until I was ready to leave, then the skies cleared and we managed to climb two pitches. Fueling up for the drive home, I looked back, the clouds were soooo black, I was glad to be going home. Joshua Tree always surprises me, the beauty of the place is a welcome sight for the weary soul.
