Okay... your turn to break trail Surfing. We like going on surfing trips. We dont recall saying anything about wanting to go on ice climbing trips.

We had a similar problem down here... mud + leaves + precarious belay position. We leveled it and threw down a bail of hay... eliminated the mud issue and as long as you throw down a new bail of hay each year after fall it covers the leaves also

Yo Ryan! Congrats on the Mugs Stump award! Good luck!

Where in the gorge do you live?

My understanding is that gym jones has a separate session per day that "applicants" can attend and assuming they stick with it will achieve the various levels required to train @ the main "full prescription strength" session/WOD. My gym does the same thing... it offers 2 sessions for non members to attend/check out the program and if they are interested as well as we think they would be quality addition to the gym they receive an invitation. But I'm avoiding the question right... Yes the actors were trained/shaped by Twight... I honestly dont know if they did it in SLC or not... but did they earn the right to train @ gym jones? Likely but who knows... I dont... I am willing to bet that by the end of program he put them through they did... IMO just about anyone put through that program would be "fit" enough to train @ gym jones @ the "full prescription WOD" Yeah... poking fun at at 300 is easy... yeah Twight really likes to preach... and yeah: the posturing doesnt fit with the movie. I'm okay with it. You?

Gym Jones doesn't allow "drop ins" similar to some xfit gyms out there. I am unaware of anyone on this page that lives in SLC and has earned an invitation to train there.

Marcus is climbing there right now. Ill try to post an update when I hear from him.

In: Pete's Pile Mist Falls Tunnel Vision Starvin Marvin Basically you want stuff that is either protected from the sun (i.e. you cant see from your car) and/or stuff near where cold pockets form in the gorge (geographic features that catch the wind). Have fun and climb safe.

I told you to sale around 200 but you starting saying whining about capital gains... IMO grab some apple, intel and google stock now while its cheap... it will go back up...

Mist Falls is in. Take your goretex. Easy WI.

Note to self: make sure we have some Scorpions on hand @ the lab

when is the last time you climbed el cap?

Earlier tonight I was hunting and gathering some blocks @ trader joe's when my right brain pipped up and said "hey! I recognize that guitar rift!" i paused and listened... could it be? Enter Sandman rumbling over the store speakers! jRYDetbwegs At first I thought maybe I was just delerious from the heat (I'm in PHX for work) but no... clear as day: Metallica! rock on Trader Joe!

Read The World is Flat by Friedman.

There is a bar in N PDX that has a sign outside that say: "5 dollar cover. Add a dollar for each piece of patagonia clothing you are wearing" I laugh my ass off everytime... one of these days I need to take a pic
