Thanks, Oly. It was a tough route and I'm pretty sure it was an FA.

"To the uninformed, it always appears that Atlas is standing on his head."

It appears the posts of congratulation and encouragement are an acceptable form of spray in TR threads. Though, there are few who do not enjoy this positive form of spray, it is this type of post in TR threads that creates the greatest volume of non-"climbing info" that must be waded through to find subsequent posts of related information. Perhaps a stock photo should be posted to inform that further messages of congratulation should be sent as PMs. The previous message is intended as appendage-in-cheek and should be received in like manner

looks and sounds like a very enjoyable day. nice job

How much did my wife pay you to tell me this? I don't understand what her motivation would be? Your rotten bivy partner is her treasured bivy partner... she's not as shy as you.

dick nixon?

I'll see that and raise ~

Your second post makes me wonder if you understand what your point is, let alone anyone else. Whether we name a natural landmark by honoring a previous culture's sensibility or use a label reflecting our own is of little consequence. Should popular assent deem it proper to use an historic name for a landmark it is still a name decided by the sensibility of our modern culture. As these issues are always determined by current notions of Right & Wrong, the paragon of "pretense" is in rationalizing that one paradigm, historic or modern, is above another. Your statement: seems to indicate you believe it improper to apply new names to landmarks; that's fine and of no less value than a contrary opinion. My assertion is that it's the victor in the conflict of opinions shaped by notions of Right & Wrong in Modernity that determines, as in this case, the proper names for landmarks. Again, time is unconcerned with who it offends. From this comes my statement “it’s no bfd” and my suggestion “get over it”. Considering Fred Beckey’s lifetime of activity and contributions to mountaineering (pioneering routes & showing the way to the enjoyment of mountaineering for many), and the often serendipitous and seeming unconsidered process by which many peaks have been named, I think it fine to give a new name to a peak in deference to Fred Beckey. But, we should ask whether this action would be in honor of Fred Beckey or ourselves. If Fred Beckey were against such an action then we would be simply naming a peak in such a way to indirectly honor and validate our own mountaineering activity. How much did my wife pay you to tell me this?

yeah, right. You're a fool if you hitch your wagon to any of The Playas.

So, what, your parents should've consulted a psychic to find your name from a past life before they labeled you? It's no bfd, otherwise you'd need to start going back to find what the tribe before the last tribe, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, before the tribe before them, named the shit; and still, the result would be uncertain. The march of time is unconcerned with who it offends. get over it

and the fires?

Minx, if it had been you that cut the broad swath with the deletion sword, I'd have been sympathetic. Instead, whoever behaved in the reactionary/knee-jerk fashion deleting the thread that simply portrayed Kevbone as an ignorant, juvenilistic punk, exposed himself as a chauvinistic anachronism better suited to minnesotapuritan.com. :fawk:-off pinhead Edit: I'm referring to the "CC.com Town Hall" thread.

I find the deletion of my "CC.com Town Hall" thread/poll to be knee-jerk. Did you delete it, Minx?
