Hi Chuck! Hope you are well! Cool TR.

[video:youtube]Qchy7BVid9Q cool perspective, but probably annoying to run in when you're out for some personal mountain experience time.

No doubt, Steph slays it, just like pretty much everything else she does!

Terrible. RIP buddy.

Well i think there is information there that could lead you to draw your own conclusions. It definitely could have been done better (like plot all the accidents on a web map that allows you to look at topography) and other better data visualizations. But nothing wrong with showing the basics, there are new climbers born every day, everyone's gotta learn.

I don't even have the internet man. Someone else is posting this for me.

damn it that vid just ruined my onsite betaless repeat. in fact, just knowing that the route exists ruined it for me. what a rig! would have preferred some death metal with it more though, seems like that would fit better.

If this goes through the terrorists have won.

Someone please tell me this is an Onion article. I supposed to many people taking photographs were wearing out the landscape.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2014/09/24/u-s-forest-service-wants-to-charge-1500-to-take-photos-on-federal-wild-lands/ $1500 to take photos in Federal Wilderness. Who owns these lands after all? Oh thats right, we do.

Wow... New Caledonia has to be the farthest spot from anywhere for an international competition! How in the heck did the competition end up there? That said, looks like an awesome place to travel to and visit.

Congrats Drew! Where was this one held?

We should be having one in the Seattle area in a bit. We are talking with the AAC NW about doing something jointly.

from what I could tell, there's only one trail leading up toward midnight rock from the top of Castle Rock, and that's the trail I've taken which led me to the ledge. I didn't see another trail, other than the dead-end spur I think I found. Did i miss something obvious? From Castle Rock I have only seen the one trail which ends right at were you would jump on the left side climbs (North Ramp, Nightingale, etc). But if you go up and around at that gully where that trail ends, you can go up and over Midnight and drop down over by the south ramp. I think most people must just go for Easter Overhang or whatever, so maybe there isn't an obvious trail. Probably just bushwacking, I haven't noticed one at least, but i think I remember walking off that way. I have only been up there a couple times, so there are much more better source for this info that post here...

Sorry to hear it Josh, heal up soon buddy!

A nod, you know, is as good as a wink to a blind horse.

lol didn't listen as i've had my computer on mute all day. also don't know how i'd feel about climbing up out there and then getting one of these buzzing me.

not mine, just found on the interweb [video:youtube]rj2Jx7AuKnU

what about a 1/2 lb bag of Pot Lemon Bars?
