Here is another:

The weed I am smoking is of a fine quality... here is that picture of the upper sultan river valley:

Don't neglect the passive protection.

No panarama, but this looked like Patagonia.

While winter touring in the area, we saw sick ice lines down the west slopes of the Ragged ridge. Pretty brave stuff for such low elevation.

Brilliant! Any sign of hairy mountain devils? The view of Ragged Ridge must have been pretty amazing...

Anybody ever do any climbing around Nelson BC? The area looks amazing!

Talked to a tribal member, he said the tribe voted down the proposed development.

My new favorite band...Modest mouse. What is currently turning your screws? (besides the bolt wars)

Fig bars are aid! My god that one small detail sheds a whole new light on things... 7 peaks in a day, covering 30 miles ..."but I had a fig bar and some water..."

CC.com Spray was found dead early this morning. The cause of death is still under investigation. The administrators are asking for any infromation that might help explain what happened... Spray was last seen to be in failing health due to boring topics and political dead horse kicking that persisted in recient months.

Somebody should chop this new route on the Incredible hulk...bolts next to cracks! who would do such a thing?

I'll start the bidding at $100.00...

I have seen pictures of an area in Oregon that has better splitters than Indian Creek. The name escapes me....something something.

We voted....by secret ballot.

A trick to the whole Gri gri back up is to jug with a rope bag, stacking every 20 feet or so. Sounds akward, but on easy climbing, it worked pretty well. We used this method on Moonlight and led the climb in blocks, so changeovers were pretty seamless.

I climbed Givler's crack free solo during one of my "marathon days". 1. Smoke a bunch of dope. 2. Park car at bottom of canyon. 3. Solo as many pitches as you can, running up the Icicle river road in between climbs. 4. Hitch hike back down the road to your car, sweaty and crazy. 5. smoke a bunch more dope. 6. Go drink beer with TR at Uli's with Julie... Best effort: Mountaineers dome, Careno Corners, Regular Route upper pitches, Bruce's Boulder, Barney rubble, Roto wall, Givler's crack, R&D route...

So is Static Point. Should we chop those routes as well? Where is my crowbar at?.....

I worked on the WCP Ekuk beachgang between 1995 and 2001. Part of my job was a barge tankerman who sold gas and diesel to our company's fisherman, so I knew most of our fishermen by name. Who is your friend, or what was their boat's name? Ekuk has one full time resident, the winter watchman. There was a summer population of around 700 fishermen , cannnery workers and various shady types.

Blah blah blahblahblahblahblah. For the record: I am a bolter and I will let my routes grow grass instead of telling any of you clowns about a single move. Forget it.

No, I was up in Bristol Bay, at Ekuk. Our climbs were more of a step-cutting affair, but the climbing was really fun. A person could jump from pretty high into the soft sand that collects in spots.

But what a nice drive! When driving by the Money creek campground, take notice of the beautiful information kiosks and USFS signs my father built.

When I was working in Alaska, we made our own ice axes, then ascended numerous bluffs near our cannery. Dirt climbing tip: do not climb under your buddy, climb to the side.

This one was a favorite space saving design...
