Holy crap do I agree.....I just climbed IB today and they forgot an anchor.....of all crazy things to forget. Oh and by the way.....it is not chopped.

I dont even know anyone who supports the Bush crime family

Slapfest.....is that the 12.a? I have tried that on TR.....you are corect the clip seems hard as hell.....nice work leading it.

I never realized that TIME magazine was so republican and one sided.

No you are not wrong.....but what if you can’t see to the ground? Like at Beacon. Then you would need to get a look out on the ground......like what occurs at the pre season cleaning party. i guess i only trundle [tude] in the alpine [/tude] where there's nobody anywheres. shouldn't this thread be titled "route cleaning ethics" as it has nothing to do with trundling ??? . real trundling is a sacred rite that should probably not be confused with what goes on at sport climbing areas . What sport climbing area are you referring too?

I think the eagle ate dinner.

What is that?

I hate bees/wasps/flying biting/stinging little bastards.

You should....it is the best climbing in Oregon.....and its in Washington.

I think the reason we trundle at Beacon is to limit out exposure to accidents and not to damage the RR tracks……once again…..how fun is it to climb at Beacon when it is closed?

Pictures? Does not look like it came through.....I love Camero's.

Beacon.....I have to agree with JH and Bill on this one. As far as JH is concerned. I am going to back him up on this one. I believe (after a couple of years of fighting and not knowing) that the intentions of the BRCA is to get Beacon open all year long. Now, I don’t think this is possible at this current juncture, so I would be in favor of the next best thing. Getting it to open early. Which thanks to JH, and the pre opening cleaning sessions, it has. It all comes down to relationships. Developing them can be difficult. So we have started at the beginning. Showing that the climbers/locals are the stewards of Beacon. We take care of our own. That way when the access fund and the state of WA come down with there new “climber’s mgr plan”, we might have a say in what happens out there. I have heard that the “access fund” has discussed bolting the slab on the SE corner, so all climbers could enjoy it……not just trad climbers……that would be an atrocity…….so we must do what is necessary to stop this. This could potentially be what happens out there. So……trundly and cleaning, is part of limiting our exposure to unnecessary accidents, I believed this is part of the relationships building process. Like Bill said. The RR has all the power…..keeping them happy is the number one priority. How much fun is Beacon if it is closed? Have a great Friday…… Bone

no, I won't. you might hurt yourself. Nice....that looks like static line......

Please let me know what store to go to, to get my rope cut to spec.....

I hope you are alright! Where is Slapfest at?

Great pictures.....man I really need to climb Hood.

What do you mean?

So true.....

What is "roped leading"?

If you ask Jim.....a pitch is 200 feet.

Bolt below? You mean 12 feet below you. That does you no good while climbing on loose holds. We all know Jim will never fix the route to our personal standards.

Ok.....please define a pitch. I would define a pitch as: length does not matter. Its on belay off belay up or down. 15 feet or 200 feet.

Nice work.....love the view....
