Well lets talk about nuclear pollution in the Pacific now.

Hopefully this fire can be put out before it burns up all the climbing routes...that would be a huge loss!

That Gorilla tape works great. Great pictures and TR. I'm aiming to do this trip with my son who will be 13 next year. I'm due to make it, I've only been thinking about it for 20 years or more. I've done that catwalk part in the snow one winter as a part of a very long day hike...i suppose that made it easier because it didn't seem a big deal. Inspiring TR, thank you.

thank you, what an awesome trip.

sounds like a great adventure.

Awesome! Thank you for sharing. What a trip. Thats funny about the Kerouac fans...I wonder how many people go up there for that reason.

did you scan this in? i see Chaps gets a special mention.

Nice! Great weather you got there.

Wow great pics! Thank you for sharing it here, and congrats on the climb!

I got your cat 5 right here are you drinking a juice?

I didn't see anywhere that it was a Vee-dub.

The thing is...and I have already run in to this a ton with my son's baseball training...and he is only 12!!! But anyway "all that modern science has to offer" is a pretty strange subject to delve into. Just ask Arod. I'm not saying there is a right and a wrong...though I have my own thoughts about it. But it is a contentious issue, what is kosher in the human body when you take it to an extreme. With "nutrition", specifically.

This has be the most hardcore thread on cc.com.

Next time you can just crawl inside the Fish haul bag and hunker down. Its going to protect you from anything.

Seems like it wasn't even the climbers who "needed rescue" that called in the chopper. Probably this makes it even worse, and needs more internet armchair discussion.

Interesting that it is "twice as burl", but the Integral Designs tents made of the stuff are listed as lighter than the same tents in eVent. Usually burl = weight.... Well that was incorrect...it is the opposite except for one of the tents...the Chock Solo (vs Chock Solo FR).

2nd that lets hear it!

Wow Ross you're living the dream. California sun, pretty lady who climbs with you, and Sierra granite. Thanks for the story and pics.

Sucks you lost your stuff....was any of the gear marked in anyway such that it is uniquely identifiable? I didn't read the whole thread, maybe you mentioned this already. Just in case some one on here runs across a crack junkie hocking some gear out of the back of their trunk.
