Pregnant Women NOT at Special Risk from Swine Flu In the beginning, even before it was declared a level 6 pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), a group of “scientists” were sounding the alarm that this might indeed be the terrifying, deadly pandemic they had been expecting for over half a century. Naturally, the vaccine manufacturers were doing all they could to fuel this fear and they were quietly making deals with WHO to be among the companies selected to manufacture the “pandemic” vaccine for the world. Being anointed by WHO would guarantee tens of billions in profits. As the infection began to spread into the United States and then the rest of the world, its peculiar nature became obvious. Those born before 1950 seem to have a high degree of resistance to the infection and the disease seems slightly more pathogenic (disease causing) among those aged 25 to 49. Early on the official sources declared that pregnant women were at a special risk as compared to the seasonal flu.1 As we shall see later, this was a grand lie.

Joseph. you are act like I am outraged. Not true at all. Only discussing this. I am sure you were the man for the job if anyone. And yes I am talking out my ass since I have not seen the rock in question in a while. But as you know….I have a memory for rock. I have climbed over that section of rock more than you. Which is saying a lot. Either way, I don’t think glue was the answer and I will be happy to tell that to Jim’s face. Once again…..I am not pissed or outraged in the slightest bit. Lets be clear about this. As far as letting it go…..feel free not to check the thread if you don’t feel like contributing to the current discussion. Take care and off to the next topic.

What is it that I am supposed to let go?

If it is a choice between cleaning rotten rock, trundling and making the route safer or…..applying glue to the rotten rock to make the rock safer. I choose a crow bar and hammer to do it right. As far as making it safer so the free soloist feel warm and fuzzy inside……climb at your own risk. That should not even be part of this discussion. IMO, the discussion is the fact that one of the best and most traveled routes in WA is now glued together. It should have been cleaned properly, and still might. Who did it is illrelevant. IMO. I do understand why…..I just don’t agree with the final decision. Not that anyone cares what I think. I would like to see that entire area get a proper cleaning with a crow bar. Then and only then will it be safer……blah blah blah.

the same applies to bolts, kev. or fixed pins, or anything anyone has to bail off of or leave behind because they can't get it out... That is correct Kenny. But coming from guys who preach no bolts and leave no trace....seems messed up.
-
Glue? Sounds like the opposite of "leave no trace".

8 inches is about right. Fing scarry.

I am sure Brad would love to come down from Index to give it a go. There really is no one better who knows rope craft and big wall experience around than Brad.

No biggy with a 70 meter rope.
