Oh and McCain does? I dont think so....McCain is the biggest flip flopper around. He called his wife a cunt....are you going to vote for him?

Scott I reality.....we are blaming Bush......the buck HAS to stop somewhere....how about with the commander and chief?

All this talk by the Republicans that we need drill here in the USA is only trying to tie in high gas prices with the perception that there is a shortage of oil. Its all bullshit……there are over 10,000 permits that have been granted by the US government to drill here in the USA and off the coast and they are not being used. Why doesn’t Fox News report that? Because they are so far up the right wings ass they don’t know where they are anymore. Fox new is an oxymoron. They are no more a news channel than I am a bad ass climber that is sponsored. Before we add oil rigs……shouldn’t we be at a maximum with what we have first?

Bush gets his 160 billion to keep occupying Iraq. When is it going to end?

Minx.....you are such a troller.....

What an interesting topic. I used to solo the SE corner at Beacon all the time……600 feet with a couple of 5.7 moves…..then one day I realized how insane it is and stopped. Really I did not want to solo the second pitch anymore due to loose rock. I have soloed Classic crack at Broughtons bluff multiple times but will not do that either anymore or any solo because I have a child now. Too much to lose if I fall…….

Well spoken.....

Does Jim have company?

We climbed up to the first huge ledge in one pitch…..cant remember if that is the top of pitch 6, 7 or 8 since it was one pitch to us…….We used 28 draws/long slings. I skipped about 20 bolts to do it......and ended up breaking draws up and using just one biner per bolt in the end. Then you can pitch out the next 5.9 pitch if you don’t feel comfortable simuling it…..then simul all the way up to the first of the hard pitches. Most of the climbing above the 5.9 is only 5.7 and under……

Spending the night up there.....damn......

Minx.....in your case it is a "troll"......

Why are they counting down to start off the ground?

Beaconben and I had some rock fall to our right about 1500 feet up and we were the first on the route. Wear your helmets..... We tied off 100 feet apart and simal climbed the first 8 pitches in one and made it to the base of the 19th pitch in 5 pitches. Its mostly 5.7.

Or twice or three times.....

Can I have another Caucasian?

Not so sure about descending the ridge. It looks like alot of scrabbling down and some rapping from tree to tree. It sucks.....but the quickest and most direct way down is the raps. IMO. I really liked the climb.....but I also like B rate movies too..... I would repeat the route. But I will be bringing a hand drill and two rap bolts. There is controversy, but only from folk who will never climb the route. Mostly from the old guard type climbers. You go climb it.

Good for you. There is 250 foot rapell in the middle of it. Either be prepared to down climb (scary) or rap/down climb off shrubs/bushes. Bring a glove for all the raps. Its a 45 minute or hour approach depending on how in shape you are. Find the trail head before dark..... The first 14 pitches are a stellar rock climb all in itself. Have great time.

That guy is funny.

I did not know that criminals were treated so well.......

Dechristo that is the most I have seen you write in one post ever! Thanks for sharing. Happy Fathers day to you and everyone else......

Does not make it right.
