It's near Mt Hood. Any word on whether they're finished with construction?

Your friend isn't fit to wipe the sweat from Tommy's Stealth Suit crotch.

Sounds like BBQ the Pope to me! Oh, and I'll add Gumby.

I was being sarcastic, but I hear you. What do you think about a route being named before it's seen an ascent?
-
Yeah, but everybody knows it gets RE-named now. Something that reflects on the "thief". How about "Mutant Ninja Gym Monkey?"
-
Soooo... What'd he name it?
-
Ah, you posted before me Kev. So it WAS done. I don't understand why this guy was so attached to this particular route, especially if it was far from his first. So now he wants to punish the local climbers who had nothing to do with 'disobeying' his wishes, by chopping his routes?! I don't get it.

Stewart- I think it's ridiculous that this thing still is "reserved". I mean, c'mon, TWO YEARS! I understand there are extenuating circumstances, but enough is enough. It's a sport climb on the local choss. Fun choss, but still choss. I say let the kids play. There is no rope hanging, the top of the route is visible, and oh, by the way, the red tag that used to be on the first draw is now on the anchor- so maybe it's been done already anyway.

My wife took a bad fall on that route. Her fault.

So, Kev... Does this mean "Freeforsum" hasn't really sent Free For Some? haha -
MisterE- Agree with the sentiment, but I think you have it backwards: When you shut your head off and are actually climbing it's more "Zen". Once I'm resting on a route I'm back to trying to force myself to relax, breathe, enjoy the view, etc. In other words: thinking. As for an anecdote- there's a local sport climb that allows you at about 3/4 way up to step around an arete and sit on it like a saddle. A buddy and I are kinda torn about how we feel about it. One one hand, you're glad to take this rest as the route's quite pumpy, but on the other hand it's almost TOO much of a disruption of upward movement. You end up feelin' kinda 'dirty' for sitting there too long. haha Good story, Bill! Hey, that reminds me- the same buddy and I found a "head-bar" inside a giant hueco on a route in Thailand. phillip

I believe the "sport" comment related to Wartley's comes from the fact that you don't have to know how to crack climb to send, as I can personally attest to. Easier than Cruel Sister! haha

Seen while I was biking to work on the bumper of a Toyota Tundra V8 extended cab: ONE LESS BIKE what a dick! haha

Happy Birthday, Miles Logan!!! Way to go Maggie!! Got the call on Sunday. That nutter Kevin actually thanked me for climbing with him on Saturday before he casually mentions he'd just become a dad. Congrats, kiddo!
-
Happy ending?
-
Of course not... But it ain't black and white. I'm particularly thinking of routes in which the crux is bolt protected low on the climb, the climbing eases significantly, yet the FA decides to bolt the rest of the route- even though if you pulled the crux, you'd have no problem finishing the route.

Joseph- Once it's been decided that a person is going to put fixed pro on a route, seems like they already admitted that they weren't up to the risk. It seems a bit contrived or a moot point to forgo additional fixed pro later up a route after this first concession.
