I didn't know Conan was from Colorado.

Has anyone purchased land/property in other countries? Specifically S. America? How difficult/risky/etc etc is it? Laws? Any info/experiences/contacts would be great...

And good work busting the turds! Did you head anything about if they were charged, etc?

That isn't my route d00d and you know it! It's Glenn's Route and if he isn't claiming it then it should be yours. I just own a drill. That's it. That's all.

If he drinks enough red bull you never know what will happen I wonder if there is an email or something that people can submit questions to Conan to ask Will

Tonight. If anybody records it let me know Conan pitched him as an "iceberg climber"

White Rabbit/Birds area. Park right after you come around the Bend. Look for my grey

Oh yeah... big THANKS to cascadeclimber Loren for pics of the route taken the week prior

Can someone bring me some duct tape? Need to tape some blisters...

With the exception of the last one all pics were taken on Sat en route to the bivy... the last one was taken from the bivy of the route (partially obscured by thumb rock) just before tackling the upper portion of the route... I know... I suck for not documenting the gnar but I was preoccupied with watching for dislodged kitty litter. Coolest/hardest route I have ever done... on a volcano

I got enough DTing over the weekend to last me till next... that and my feet will go on strike if I put boots back on anytime soon so yeah... rock gear only See you turds tomorrow

Fine with me but I'd say it is Knotty's call

I should be there... I have a late meeting though... Where will you and Mav be?

Welcome to cc.com Mav For the rest of you regulars please keep this thread free of tt.com spray... it already is long enough and we don't need 4 pages of tt.com jokes... thanks!

Good times today DTing How is next week looking for people? Tuesday perhaps? You know the drill

As you were taped up I think you mean "aided" a few 5.11ish pitches

But you'd ruin the "cute" theme ML I am available for climbing tomorrow just about any time though it looks like rain Give me a shout if you want to take your chances...

I am not arguing against a rope for "the sake of preserving any sort of wilderness atmosphere". I am against increasing the "precieved footprint" climbers leave when producing a sport climbing area. In the future anyone against a new sport area at like say Beacon Rock for example would just have to point to this fixed anchor mess and say "look what it will turn into... do you want to look at this in your area?" If that many bolts exist up there it sounds like anyone could easily belay themselves safely so rebar would not be needed.

Until those climbers decide they want to climb elsewhere (Leavenworth, Index, etc etc) and decide they want rebar and ropes there too. Belaying isn't purist hardman... it's just plain climbing. Everyone opts for a belay at a different point... for some people setting up a TR is an appropriate time to get a belay.

Anyone has the option to bust out a rope and belay themselves across this ledge. If you worried about slipping get a belay. No fixed rope.

I don't know who you were climbing with but it sure wasn't us If anybody wants to climb tonight call me 503.758.5772

Oleg and I are in PDX

I gotta say... for another 4 hours of driving you could be in the CAN rockies...

Are you saying you're hiring Bill?
