Yes. It is always dry enough for the corner. Good thing about Beacon.....it is in the gorge and its windy in the gorge....so it dries quicker. That is my experience.

The "spirit of adventure" is subjective my friend.....your north ridge of mt stuart is another persons five gallon bucket.

That sounds like a totally fun day....ever tried doing gandalf's in one pitch? It works......and makes a fun change of pace.

With Sawzall? Wow.....did you buy one Russ?

How many licks does it take to get to the middle of a lolly pop?

Not entirely safe for work.

I guess so.....I never have written it down before today.... the answer is: Buy the ears!

Wow...Bill. That is expensive.....I got mine for $350.00 on Ebay....used of course, but 20 routes later and i dont care.....

Where?

we all agree with that sediment. I agree.

I was? I don’t remember using this word on this thread……mmmm…..could you find it for me please…..thanks…..

The point I am trying to make is the purists are bitching about a bolt when there smart intuitive minds can be trying to really make a difference with the world on a more grand scale…..like developments in RNP. So you were a selfish route setter? That is too bad……I was just really getting to like you… Just kidding…your cool….

How do women hold there liquor?

Yeah….but why did they build the huge brand new concrete bridge and road to get to the boat ramp at Beacon? To make it safer. The pull out had a ridiculous blind spot…..so they moved the pull out down by a couple of hundred feet and added a bridge to access the same road. mmmm…..makes you think about why someone would add a bolt? Mmmmm…..maybe to make it safer? Just a thought. hey kevebone...not everyone thinks that every route needs to be sanitized... I agree…….but the state (people who mgr the roads), wanted to “dumb down” the entrance to this particular road on to Hwy 14 for the safety of the masses, and they did not even ask the first road developer……. One could argue by Rain and Popes ethics…..if you can’t squeal your tires and drive 13.a…..then you should not drive on that part of the road. Bamb….slap….capooy…..bingo…..what do ya say to that?

I disagree……think of it like…..looking at the big picture. Complaining about bolts on wall…..is small potatoes compared to building roads and clearing forests to make golf courses….. Bill was and is right on the money…..

Post of the day Rain, Pope.....take that.

Great photos.....

I love it when you speak for other people. Please refrain from telling me what “everybody” thinks. What do you think? Dude...I ain't telling you what "everybody" thinks. I'm edumacating you on the philosophy of the ground-up ascent ethic. For your weak-sauce comment above, you have earned yourself a special image: No, I'm going on an expedition until early December and pope has a family to take care of. Even so, trail-building on your local crag is so low down on my priority list I can't even find it...looks like you're going to have to take it on yourself. Thanks.....see you next time.....or not.

I dare you to call a Persian an Arab. Hey Persian dude sitting in the corner.....you are really an arab....

I love it when you speak for other people. Please refrain from telling me what “everybody” thinks. What do you think? Sheesh….talk about thread drift. Pope, Rain…..are you guys going to come down (or up or sideways) and help with building the trail?

Hey bill.....looks like your response is an imature taunt. Good for you

Yep....thats about it.

Hey Rain….have you ever ridden on an elevator or escalator before? So that sounds like a compliment. My last response did not get red flagged as “immature taunts”. Cool. Are you speaking for the entire climbing community on this one? What was done “much safer and easier that way”? Are you saying if drilled by hand it would be safer? Not sure what you are saying? Elevator V. stairs…..how many times have you chosen the elevator? Come on…..be honest.
