Does anyone have a big panoramic picture of Index (the town, river, etc) taken from Smokeout Ledge or anywhere higher on the Upper Wall from around this time in the year? Bonus points if there is a train going through in the picture. For use as a background image on my computer. Thx.

When I read the accident report, I thought of you guys. I hope everyone pulls through ok, what a tramatic experience for all involved (well, much moreso for those two guys)! glad you're ok Glenn.

If there was a chance that getting off the planet would be a good idea for future generations, would you do it? Or is this just our chance to be fat and happy, and to hell with future generations? Stephen Hawking thinks we should be doing something. Maybe some people think he is a godless commie, but some think he is pretty smart. Happy fathers day Fairweather. Time to go play with my son.

my gut tells me that if we don't hurry up and build some spaceships and get off this rock, we're all doomed.

that would be the lead guitar for soundgarden, named in 2003 by the Rolling Stone as one of the "100 greatest guitarist of all time"

I like the "stop spraying go climbing" advert on the left.

dry, but a bit mossy on the left where you stem. the interior of the chimney is wet, but you don't use that to stem.

bon voyage Pax!

Good to hear from you Luke. Keep in touch.

Ya, but what about gut-based policy?

you really try, don't you dru?

Pharmako Poeia: nicotine stimulates the release of epinephrine (adrenaline) and dopamine, and in lesser amounts norepinephrine, and serotoinin. Norephine is a neurohormone chemically related to mescaline. The significance of these neurotransmitters to the alleged hallucinatory effects of tabacco is still inconclusive.

My favorite pitch so far in WA is 2nd pitch of Thin Fingers. I haven't lead it yet, but it is velly nice.

It was all of that. Over all, the whole climb is awesome (at least the pitches we did are). Mr. Natural's pic of the 2nd pitch:

thanks mayor! i have to find myself a place up there. unfortunately I think I may have to just get a piece of property without a cabin, as it is all I can afford right now.

Hmmm...worked for me. Try it again. Jon, you can delete my email address or remove them from the drawing at least. As an admin, I prolly shouldn't win , and besides I already have a full quiver of tents.

Climb: Index-Davis-Holland/1st pitch of Lovin Arms Date of Climb: 6/17/2006 Trip Report: Hansel ropegunned me up Davis-Holland and the 1st pitch of Lovin Arms today. I also had a pitch of copenhagen for the first time since junior high, and the rock achieved much more clarity. Also time sped up, and i heard chanting voices. Notes: -The first pitch is indeed wet! Slimey in fact. It is slightly harder in these conditions. -There were no mosquitos, but beware of ants at the top of the first pitch! -Beware, the girl working the coffee shop in Goldbar is not as cute as I remember. -520 is closed today. Don't go there. -Sparks is a wonderful after climbing beverage. -There is a lizard living on the ledge at the top of pitch 3 of Davis-Holland. -Though it rained on the drive out, it didn't rain while we were climbing. We stopped at 1st pitch of Lovin Arms because it looked like it was gonna, but it didn't. -pictures on a disposable camera, so wait for developement. -I heart Index -Nobody dropped coils on us today. -I had a Layton pinchy experience starting on the third pitch. Even though I was following, it was intense. Thanks to Jeff for allowing me to rap first on the last rappel. -Jeff told me a story about how he once beat up this dude(it was self defense!):

YES, BUT WHAT'S MY PRICE?

oh no! it is the festering of beautiful partnership.

with all due respect sir, you're retarded

Nothing goes with climbing at Index then a cold can of Sparks in the store parking lot.

Do you like Index Sire Bill da Goat?

Not if you get the Pleasure Extender. i get about an email a day about those things!
