DFA, Ha! that is 45 seconds from my house... Compared to Seattle area crags, anywhere in Vegas is close! We can be at the second pullout in 20 minutes. Also,don't forget the Trader Joes on Buffalo and Washington.

Cracks? You might as well skip the cracks. Rarely do they feel or act like the real thing. Besides, they take up valuable real estate. Just get strong climbing on plastic and take your new strength to the real rock.

I have built 5 different walls, they only get as stale as you let them. With the long winters, a good steep wall is usually the best, as easy gets boring faster. You say you have 12' of wall? design a wall with 3 angles getting steeper the closer you get to the back corner of the garage. The best part of having a wall is having friends get together to build one. The more holds each person can contribute the better.

Even from 1200 miles away, my "snow sense" has been going off the charts...I have not felt this way in 10 years. Something big is afoot... If my out of control premonitions are correct, it's going to be a good year to quit your job in November.

"Selective Offensiveness" A good name for a route if I ever heard one...

Robbie Cappell, Stevens pass Look close, he stuck this 90 foot air into a hall closet.

Will makes a really good point, Another variation on his idea is to tie just one overhand and adjust it to the direction of pull. Then clip a locking biner into both halves, isolating the knot in the middle. Very fast to create and simple, using only one knot. This setup works best with skinny webbing.

I told my wife that if she divorced me, send my mail back, I'm going to Patigonia and not coming back.

Indeed.

shit weighs the same as sugar... at least that's what I've been told..

Sad that such a bold climb has been put out to stud as the second most popular top rope on Loggers Ledge. "That climb over there is Danny's Dreadful Di-rect, once the haadest,scariest, most mean trad climb in all of this Chelan county... Now he jus' gits greasy giving pony rides to college girls ovah here on vacation from the coast"....

I climbed Dan's dreadful direct in it's apparently very short-lived bolted version. It was pretty fun.

Allow me to once again invite your sorry moldy bad self to travel to the south west region of this fine country. It's sad to watch the PNW rock climber bloom, wither and die in the space of three months. This cycle of life reminds me of my days on the Alaskan tundra...

Summer?

I think P4 was pretty hard for me, I must have been scared! Have any of you rock stars climbed the variation?

God bless the internet.

Guns of the German army... The .223 is a welder, my mini 14 was a most accurate rifle. Not to mention that a lighter cartridge can have less recoil. This gives the shooter a quicker and more accurate follow up shot. Of course, a nail is only as straight as the hand that drives it.

CC in the house! Your eyes and ears backstage here in Miami, Lance Granite on the scene. We have got some serious whiplash tonight! Gotta go, Christina wants to get my autograph....

How is the weather in your world? Do you find yourself feeling a bit...different? There is a different vibe on the street, in the air. fear of the future. of the incredible speed of modern life. now is the crux, the moment.... ....and we are not ready I see the worlds brightest light when I look out of my window... It's pretty bright.

Running scared since 1972...

Aquatic interaction

What about Burdo's route on Mt. Baring?

It's cool to hear about something that has occurred simultaneously all over the country, but never caught on. Surf hop was dangerous, I nearly drowned when the handle got caught around my foot.
