Make sure the young man understands how to use protection (both sport and traditional) before he ventures out on his own!

Hello Muffy! Thanks for your letter. I highly recommend outdoor activities for youngsters. It can promote a healthy and active lifestyle. Climbing, done correctly, can be a great outlet for a teenager. I also recommend a healthy diet and reading Catcher in the Rye for the young man.

Awesome! Great to see you guys doing so well. Will be in to have a look with Ulee soon (though with baseball I'm not sure when that will actually be).

Funny, I'd always assumed it was you, but thanks to my special moderator vision I can see you are indeed two separate ip addresses, and I doubt you'd hassle with the spoofing just to try and defeat my awesome powers. Whats an ip addresses?

I like how they laid out the fact with bullet points: FACT: Located in Rodellar, Northern Spain, the rock is known as El Delfin - because it is shaped like a dolphin FACT: Huge, rocky arch is considered one of the hardest climbs in the world - only one per cent of climbers succeed FACT: Ally Smith, 32, from Cheshire, spent whole day trying to complete the climb with many attempts resulting in him falling

Nor do I. RIP Joe.

Your math is off

I will....however it is still raining from time to time today....so we have to drive out and see what happens. when you get back, post a trip report with pictures If I do it will be in spray where it belongs. And so you fail to deliver yet again. You still live in the world of the "non-contributor", yet you think it is cool criticize the efforts of others who actually do contribute. It is too bad you can't understand or acknowledge how bad that makes you look. I want to be clear, I apologize for calling you an idiot Kevbone. I may believe so, but it isn't right to do so as an official representative of this forum. It is a personal reaction I have to a lot of the things you say, believe in, and your attitude. In my official capacity, I apologize. From a personal standpoint I don't hate you Kev. I do think you have a wonderful family, you are a talented guitar player, and you are a great friend to many. I haven't met you in person, and given my schedule these days that isn't likely to happen soon. I always reserve my impression of someone to some combination of online and in person interaction, but sometimes I fail to remember that myself. That said, though some of you may be happy with the way this board has been going or happy hanging out in this community we call CascadeClimbers as it is now, we as owners are not. We want to make it BETTER. For some of you that means just Spray and lurking on the actual reason we really are here (TRs and other non-Spray forums), and for others it is the opposite. Some of you it is both. But we as owners of the board want to see it all a little more vibrant and diverse, even Spray, and you should too. This is your resource after all. However, for Jon and I it is a bigger picture, and we believe it is for you too. It means more to us than just being the hang out of a select few. The more people interacting with the site, the more TRs and more information we will have shared....the better the site. Often with quantity will also come some level of quality as well, even if there is a diverse level of quality. And to that end, Spray isn't actually your personal playground were you say whatever you want. You may think so, but it isn't. It is a useful tool to allow climbers, skiers, and other like minded people interact about topics that aren't related to the core forum topics. It attracts people because they can discuss topics of just have fun chatting casually...meanwhile perhaps popping into other "core mission" forums to interact. As such, we view even Spray as something we may need to cultivate or correct if it has become stagnate. This board does not exist for Spray, regardless of what you believe Kev. This board has distinct forums that provide meaningful content on a variety of topics, and Spray is but an ugly tempter/temptress serving to siphon off topic discussion and protect the core forums. And it can be fun as hell, and as boring as this post. So if you like the status quo, I have bad news for you. And if many people aren't interacting due to the participation of a few, we may even reserve the right to make changes there. tldr: Kev, sorry for calling you an idiot. Changes may be necessary soon to make this place better. Please elevate the discussion or at least be funny, or a least funnier than this boring post.

There is a whole cottage industry around librul "entertainment news humor": Colbert The Daily Show The Onion It seems like the only worthwhile reaction to Fox News and the radio shock jock thing (Limbaugh, O'Reilly, etc).

I know this may have been posted before, but I couldn't find that post. Here are some pictures taken by whomever is climbing on structures and exploring around Seattle and taking some unique photos. No condoning anything!

Go climbing Kev. Take lots of pictures.

I probably won't carry the camping gear past that "climbers" camp myself, but good on you if it made your trip better (which it sounds like it did). It is nice to camp above the tree line, and if there was already a crowd at the camp then that makes sense too. Thanks for the TR, I love this scramble and the hike through the Valley of the Silent Men is special.

Maybe we could have some logic puzzle that you have to complete before you can logon to post?

I was just venting...I didn't realistically think that I would actually be able to get through to him. Many have tried fruitlessly before, and why would anyone expect to have an actual meaningful conversation with a 911 Truther (let alone the other garbage that populates his head). Engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed person just isn't right. It was really just venting and to let others know that we do recognize that this board has become stagnate in some regards. Some of it has to do with the discourse that we have been having (and not just Kevbone). This discourse hasn't really been that interesting, especially when compared to some stuff that has been on here in the past by some razor sharp wits. Some of it has to due with competing spaces (Facebook, blogs). I'm sure you all haver your own opinions. That all aside, this website is an awesome resource and continues to be so. As time permits, Jon and I will continue to try to be good stewards and improve the site.

Well not to mention the hypocrite never bothers to include pictures with almost any of the threads he starts. BORING. LAME. I think Carlin captures it best: [video:youtube]DB8wWlPdYRs

And btw, does anyone want to speculate as to who ALLCAPS is?
