Oh yeah.....and thanks to Joseph Healey, every anchor you come to at Beacon has been replaced with brand new stainless steal bolts and new hangers……

Beacon is worth a weekend trip. Comparing it to Squamish is difficult. It’s totally different. It is stout climbing with a view. The approach to Beacon is 5 minutes. Mostly dihedrals and face cracks. Maybe 10 sport routes all are hard except Young Warriors. Which is #1 on the must tick list. It is 5 pitches (last pitch is short) with one 10.a move that protects with a bolt. Beacon is a special place with ledges all over the place to hang out on. The Columbia river is about 200 feet away and you are in the Gorge. I would not travel to Broughtons for a weekend to climb. I would recommend climbing there if you lived in the area. I do however recommend the O Zone. The approach is less than 5 minutes and it has about 75 routes, mixed to sport climbs. Also with a view of the gorge. You can camp at Beacon Rock State Park for $17 a night. Or drive past it and camp in the gorge off one of the many roads. Give a shout when you come down and I will try to make it out and give you a tour. Best Beacon season is Sept. Ozone....year round.

Dru?

"I support CC.com"

If JC was still alive today he would be one old MFer……and to say “still” alive would imply that he once actually lived…….

Thanks....I get that alot.

Steven Segal?

Physical Graffiti at Broughtons Bluff in Troutdale, OR. Guide calls it 10.d. I asked the FA about it….he said they graded it 10.d because at the time that was the hardest grade. I think its 11.a……it has fooled me three times…..

jeez......get the quote right..... "hey batman, whats for dinner"

You really are the spray king....or should I say "queen"?

Your right KKK….that is really funny……ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Wew…..that was a good laugh……

I wish I was. I was on a 5 member team about 4 years ago. Super fun......I did the bike riding portion.

why were you trying to get him to 'waiver from his insane way of thinking'... if he wasn't wrong? Because he was wrong!

That is what the old person I was referring too meant. What an old school way of thinking…….. different is wrong!!!!!!!1 I am sorry.....did I say he was wrong? I do believe I wrote an old school way of thinking.....

That is what the old person I was referring too meant. What an old school way of thinking……..

I can grasp the concept. Like said early….IMO the word discipline has a negative connation to it. There are all sorts of forms of discipline out there. Bill……I will never strike my children. Ever! This I am certain of.

Not as much as you......that does not change the fact that I will NEVER lay a hand my children.

I never saw the phrase “support our troops” until bush decided to occupy another country. It is unfathomable that one would not support out troops being that they are told what to do and they do it. If the neo-cons wanted to be more accurate the statement they have so conveniently thought up should read “support Bush”. Or “support oil”.

I spent some time with an older generation person this weekend; he is very conservative and voted for Bush. We got on the topic of support the troops. His thoughts were if you dont support the “war”….then you don’t support the troops. No matter how much logic I threw his way, he would not waiver from this insane way of thinking…….

Damn......nice troll!

Uh…..if you lay a hand on your children. IMO you are beating them. You might not be beating the hell out of your children….but you are still beating them. I agree with boundaries…….I find to often that parents will push there agenda on the kids way too much. I like to think of discipline as “positive reinforcement”. I have found that just talking to your children helps, no matter what age. Worst kind of parenting is counting. (son)….you have 3 seconds to comply….1……..2…….3..then what? A beating! I cant even be around that kind of parenting.

Well....discipline has a negative tone to it.....to me.... I so agree. I will never lay a hand on my kids.......mostly because that is not how I was raised......30 years later I still resent my father.....

I did read it. I was referring to the “discipline is love” theme he has going on……I was trying to make a point that he is full of shit.

Discipline is love? So….spanking is a form of discipline. Is it love when a father spanks the shit out of his kids for some trivial spilling of the milk? No I am not joking……
