Nobody has mentioned Kill Em All? WTF? running, ought to be hiding searching, seek and destroy Almost without fail, every bands first release is their best. Why? Because its the best of all of their accumulated material up until that point. If the record sells, they get to try and do it again in less than a year. Kill Em All Cowboys From Hell Bleach Ten I'll stop now...

Friday: Found new bolders. Saturday: Crushed new bolders, bbq. Sunday: Rained hard, drank beer, hiked in rain,found new bolders. Monday: Landed huge new account with stellar sales pitch, came home, brother in law dumped his truck, trailer and my father in law's 10k tractor into creek, spent 7 hours with backhoe removing all three. Mucho damage.

You would have gotten so pounded. This report coming from half way up Gold Cup Mountain, maybe 12 miles due south of Chimney Rock?

Loose rock is killer if you're in a trundle approved zone. This one time, at bandcamp, we rapelled this little fire on Redoubt (or maybe Bear?), anyway we hit this little 20'x50' flat knob atop what appeared to be about 1000' (according to topo map) of vertical relief below it. No trails in teh drainage below (according to topo map). Too steep to fight fire, we trundled until there was no more movable stones and we had 3 broken shovels. Freefalls of like 500' and then mountain shaking explosions.

Nothing in a NE wind but totally blocked in the predominate SW/W winds. Plus I live in Laclede now so wtf not kite out there. The ferry landing launch sucks with those pylons, I almost landed in them once. I didn't find any good spots to launch by the park either, but who knows... I'm gonna go hit up the guy at WestShore (far east end of the rock cuts east of laclede), he's an old windsurfer and showed interest in kiting. Plus he's got a big grassy field next to the river (just upriver from that little grass island with the bouy light on it). Are you kiting or full time dadding? Death NEerly's right now, ranging from 10-40 and swirling. I'm not out.

There is a thunderhead that is rolling down the purcell trench right now, it looks to cover from Priest Lake to well into the Montana cabinets. Can't wait for the lightning.

Been massive thunderstorms kicking up every afternoon this week (except monday, it just rained all day) about 1-3 pm in the Selkirks. Massive like dime sized hail and 60mph wind gusts. Plan accordingly.

I can't believe I missed this amazing Derrick Smalls reference. Good on ya.

Marty, where do you launch in Laclede? Been 15-20 almost every nite for a week. Still kiting or what?

Option D: I'm going to go over to Dmitry's site and crosslink all his Banks Lakes/Long Lake bolder shots and this thread is going to be a repository of the radness of Ewash boldering. Plus I'll scan more Manresa Grotto shots and Marty will kick down with some limestone boldering beta.

Bastard stole my project. Not that I could link any two moves on it. I think he did it like 2nd or 3rd try too. No fucking shit. Have you been down to the SE Buttress on that wall in the background? 300' of overhanging huecos. Too bad bolts seem to fall out of that rock with a crowbar.

I've seen walls from the heli up in da Eagle Caps that looked that big easily. Might be grey limestonez tho.

HWY 97 is a good place to start. N would be a good bet too.

some pix... that's a small sample.

Rock scar. And there's no hold there. It's all about teh arete anyway, that flake problem is easy party warmup choss. The two lines directly right of the arete are plenty stout and prime as well.

Not Newhalem.

"you never go ass to mouth"
