Are you spayed or neutered?

wOOt!!!

Yeah, but, like, Christianity is the same...

А якщо така ж образа нікому тут не зрозуміла?

looks in control to me damn that's some bad ass climbing.

The FS web site talks about work being done fixing part of the washouts (last bit will never be fixed) this year. Does anyone know the concrete time frame for this other than "late summer".

That's exactly right, Off. The Mountaineers climbing program generally emphasizes trad climbing on alpine routes. The Basic class teaches people the skills they need to safely follow on very easy alpine rock climbs, and participate on easy glacier climbs. The intermediate program teaches people to lead on multi-pitch, trad routes, augment glacier travel skills, and move on to alpine ice and winter/mixed climbing. The sports climbing class is generally offered as a bridge for people who learned enough as basic students to say follow on the Tooth or Ingalls and then want to move on to leading, but would like more time on real rock, or get some comfort leading without investing in a rack or learning to place pro off the bat. Many choose to skip sport climbing and just go straight into trad leading. Some basic class graduates leave the Mounties and learn to lead on trad all on their own, never going into the intermediate program. Others leave and become sport climbers all on their own. The sports climbing class does not teach people to drill bolts and set up routes. Nor do its instructors generally do that. Structured courses by a big club/organization are not for everyone. They are a route for some to learn.

So, hiking up to the 3 Fingers Lookout is the same as blowing the top off the mountain? And using the Camp Muir shelter the same as hauling lumber and cement up to 10K, and adding permanent, man-made structures there? And driving Highway 20 to WA pass is the same as dynamiting the road to get there? I didn't think so.

Apparently some can't comprehend the difference between drilling new bolts and simply climbing routes with bolts already in place.

I have to assume drinking was a precursor to this post...

Good for you!! It's a reasonable tune and I like it. Scroll on by, know it all! you suck. grow up.

Based on the responses to your query so far, sounds like a "no".

He's too busy guarding a stump:

tax increases on the wealthy and doing away with unnecessary tax cuts for corporations on the ballot in 2011 is the "Grecian Formula"? I don't see the connection. FAP FAP FAP

which part of my argument exactly are you having trouble with or is it that the mere invocation of hand waving should be enough to dismiss all the facts put forward and that you still have to address? The problem of your hand waving is this part: fap fap fap

Budget arithmetic involves spending AND revenue. Nothing less. Pushing the notion that one can address a structural fiscal crisis designed to bankrupt the state by the 'starve the beast' proponents solely by cutting spending is severely misguided, at the very least. What the hell is wrong with you?

I'm not sure what exactly this means? j_b loves sausage

Yea.

If that happens, then the public has learned "a lesson" which will result in either ceasing to support tax cuts and tax cutting initiatives, be willing to vote tax increases back - or both. If you are incorrect, then gov't will just be smaller. Your "type" is always trying to decide what is best for everyone and not let them decide for themselves.

The voter doesn't want higher taxes, therefore cuts are needed. Pretty simple. You are always free to donate your excess cash to the state coffers. They'll take it.

"Justices Scalia and Thomas dissented, saying that workers have to complain to a government agency or court." That's idiotic.

How did it taste?

LOL! Yeah, scarrrrrrrrry!
