What ever works.

Does that count your children?

No no....he said famous.

:lmao: :lmao:

What is your favorite album or albums? What is an album that stands out as epic (for you)? Meaning every song on the album is great. Some of my favs are: Dirt (Alice n chains) Vulgar display of Power (Patera) Ten (Pearl jam) 1984 (Van Halen) And Justice for All (Metallica) Headhunters (Herbie Handcock)

Change is almost here!!!!

My son out for trick or treating for the first time. How neat!

Both the "stewsters" pictured here.

to all you gools and goblins out there. That includes you Minx Be safe and eat lots of candy.

Why is this even in question? Bush is clearly the worst president ever. He is a criminal and should be behind bars. 8 years of failed policies and massive dept. The worst of it is the occupation. Bush has sent over 4200 of our military to there death. And for what? We still dont know.

Post of the day. How can right wingers argue this?

Because thats what it is.

I hear ya. The reason to climbing fast is because of that reason. Kids, and there lack of sleep. Must get home quick to support wife.

Arent and I climbed it together.

Climbed the SE corner last night. Started up at 10 pm. Took about 1:35 or so car to car....that included a short break at the land of the little people. What great weather to climb in. Rock was almost sticky. I love Beacon.

Who told you Jills is 5.9+? Jim? I think the crux of Jills is every bit 10.a.

Jim rates it 10a to lead and 5.9 to top rope. I think its 5.9 no matter how you climb it. Nope. That is the second pitch of fear of flying, goes at 10.b. The first pitch of crazy horse starts after you climb right gull to the chains…..except don’t go over to the chains on the left. Instead as you top out on the first pillar (where you step left to the chains), go straight up to a ledge ( going straight up is call the Vulcan Variation 5.8). Make a gear anchor. Here you can step WAY left and continue up right gull 5.8. Instead climb the wide crack in and left in the corner. This goes somewhere between 5.7-5.9 depending on your crack skill. After you top out on a ledge 25 feet up continue “STRAIGHT UP A FACE WITH A CRACK ON THE LEFT TO PROTECT. CLIMB OVER A BULGE (CRUX) AND STEP RIGHT AND UP TO YOSEMITE LEDGE”. ……THIS IS THE FIRST PITCH OF CRAZY HORSE! A solid link up is Little Wing to right gull to Vulcan variation (one pitch). First pitch of Crazy Horse (which I just described) to Yosemite ledge and keep going up Sundance 5.8/9 (left of second pitch of Crazy Horse) in one pitch. Which will take you to Grassy Ledges in two pitches from the ground. All with easy climbing. Hope that helps.

Jills is two pitches, or three shorter ones. The last pitch goes right off Yosemite ledge. That is the second pitch of Crazy Horse.

You are not a member?

I "used" work at REI when it was a cool place to work. Then it got realy big and corporate. Big brother was watching and we started to get "secret shoppers" monitoring if we asked if they were a member, and if they needed help. Get dinged if we did not "upsale" an item. Direct them were to go. Most customers were realy turned off by this. When I go in there I just want to buy what I came for and leave. I dont need every employee asking "are you a member". I quit and looked for employment eslewhere. Safeway (and others) was told this kind of customer service will bring in the customers. Instead it has drove them away. Marylou...I am with you. Fuck Safeway.

In other words. No one but you will try it.
