I think anyone that has climbed technical territory for a long while has been in this situation. I know some of you have climbed much more than me. You end up trusting a single suspect anchor because it is all you have. So far, if you’re reading this, we have lived. And as those anchors go, some are more obviously desperate than others. Yeah in ideal conditions always back it up. Otherwise you have my best wishes. RIP.

I just want them to arrest and incarcerate people who cut in line during my commute home from work. String them up, tar and feathers.

She must have used AI and didn’t even bother to read what it gave her before publishing.

Stellar wordsmithing! 😂 https://amp.bellinghamherald.com/news/state/washington/article307907125.html dang, Helena!

Idk if they would do this but please check out the sponsors of this board. American Alpine Institute.

Very nice! Thank you.

I too will take beers over being stuck up in bad weather. Thanks for the TR!

No pouting here Brian. Did you go to Olympia high or something? I just think is funny when you start making all these wild ass assumptions like you know me or something. You clearly don’t at all. And I don’t really know you other than you’re a right wing keyboard warrior. As any good librul I wish higher taxes upon you. Peace out for this weekend I got better stuff to do.

No that I not what I describe. It is called being agnostic. But after hearing you explain yourself in this thread I do understand you more. You’re a religious man. Well indoctrinated at that. You prefer theocracy over democracy.

The establishment clause states that separation, it does not mythologize it. But then that is like all law, subject to interpretation. You clearly have your own interpretation. who do we answer to? Clearly that is an individual choice as well, in practice. I don’t answer to your god, or do I? Or is it you answering to mine? I am not so arrogant as to say I could answer any of this. I answer to my family. I answer to trying to be kind to others (I don’t always succeed). I don’t answer to some mythical deity. I always welcome the truth. If your god wants me then he will have to convince me he exists.

I respect your religion though I can’t say I share your god. You’re believing for both of us I guess. Is your god in the Constitution of the USA? Isn’t there something about separation of church and state?

Whose god? The one appointed by the government? I’m with you about children. I’m old enough I can’t seem to adjust to all the “what people choose to be called” thing. I’ve tried, but failed almost every time. But what adults choose to be or call themselves, I don’t care. bizarre leap you’re making there to call for firing all Yosemite NPS because a third party did a protest. They are removing the flag. Are they supposed to line up the protesters and shoot them? What is the First Amendment?

Sure is. Other people and what they do to their bodies is difficult to understand. When should big government step in?

Go hang a maga flag. Find out. My guess would be that some people would roll their eyes. And those people would be hailed as champions of your great autocrat. And then life would go on. Amazing “what if” though!

Nice Lucas! Getting after it 🔥. Thanks for the inspo.

Lots more info now on seattletimes (behind their paywall). For instance the 63 year old climber had done 99 of the 100 Bulger list.

Dang thoughts to all involved and especially the survivor. That is so tragic.

Nice! Thanks for the TR!

Thank you @Otto

Yeah board doesn’t know what to do with .heics

It’s awful tough to do anything novel these days. And the old people who scoff at you know someone who did it up hills both ways, back before the invention of the wheel (which makes everything so easy for the kids these days). So you’re left with being the first 12 year old up Willis Wall. Best of luck though! But the best climber is the one having the most fun, right? So try to be that climber maybe, I guess.

There is plenty being said these days I don’t like that I don’t respond to. You made a comment about me in a conversation with me. What planet do you live on where somone wouldn’t respond to that? 😂😂😂

You can think whatever you want champ! Doesn’t make your thoughts accurate, but then again it seems from this thread accuracy is not something you worry about .

Holy crap dude, congrats! That is cool I want to learn Norwegian in Norway! Where do I apply? im seriously curious, though I’m past doing anything like that. What a cool opportunity for you though!
