This fall they did exactly that in Virgin, or whatever the entry town to Zion NP is. We talked to the hotel manager about it and she talked as if the world was coming to an end because of gays.

so disturbing

thanks for the TR. And your assumption about the NW ridge is correct.

Dane, it is great to hear that you are still with us and improving. Can we compile the horror stories of rock climbing and somehow force dumbasses to read them if they think they are hot shit? (I guess thats Accidents in NA Mtneering huh?) I really think it would be beneficial for some folks.

I've got a blog at www.funholesunite.blogspot.com It covers a lot of other life events too, but the archives have some pretty good adventures. I haven't been getting out nearly as much as I was as a student. Time and no money or money and no time...

Ever read Tom Clancy? He wrote about an airliner terrorist attack, then Iran invading Iraq to form a larger Islamic Nation, then we go in there and tear shit up. (we went in early in reality and bungled it hardcore, in reality) He also wrote about China invading Russia, but that is a whole nother thread...

bump

damn, thats it. pitch one isnt bad at all. what, a 15 ft runout on 5.5 There's worse runouts up higher.

nothin satisfies minx like a pony cock

Touche dawg, touche

Trip: Another Smith TR... - Several Date: 5/31/2008 Trip Report: I had to drive to Burns for a week of work, so I figgered I'd cram a full weekend of climbing into a day. Myself and a friend, Keelia, hiked out to the Marsupials with a goal to climb 15 pitches or more of 5.8ish in a day, preferably on a few unconventional smith routes. We started up The Marsupial Traverse, climbed that while watching a number of thunderstorms roll through to the north and south of us, climbed Mini Halfdome, Thin Air (P1), Round River, Then headed up to the Wombat for a big summit adventure. The whole time we were wondering if climbing the tallest formation at Smith Rock was the best idea with so much thunder and lightning about. We went for it anyway and hid out in a cave for 2 hrs to wait out one large cell but we got our window and finished the 5 pitch Birds Of A Feather 5.8 up the wombat. (great route! with zero traffic). The total for the day was 16 pitches, so we beat our goal, but I now have a new goal of 25 pitches in that area because with our late start and the weather, four more hours of climbing is available to hit up so much else... No pictures, but I can tell you that Birds of a Feather has some really great climbing on it, with a stellar 45m hand and finger crack on it. Gear Notes: single rack to #3 camalot, 10 alpine draws helmets, flask. Bring a snakebite kit too because the ledges are crawling. Approach Notes: get up earlier, hike faser, less pitching it out and more simulclimbing.

frenches was clear last week

wow, some impressive facial hair on the tattooed guy 2/3 of the way down.

Cheers! So who are the geeks, nerds and jocks of rock climbing? Methinks Huber bros come up as the jocks, and everyone on this board is in competition for climber nerd/geek status.

That is awesome!

Oahu has some pretty nice stuff. Bring your gear.

This month's Rock and Ice has a bunch of info on climbing in Hawaii...

where does snow start? parking lot? horse camp?

Woke up one morning, went downstairs to my roomie cooking brekki(very uncommon as she don't know how to cook if the microwave isnt involved). She says proudly, "I'm making an omlette!" Laid out on the counter is a good assortment of fillings, but then I noticed there was a tortilla in the pan with cheese on it. I asked her where the eggs were, and got a blank stare for a few seconds, then it clicked. "I KNEW I was missing something!" OMFG!!!!!! HOW?!?!?!

penis is aid, I dont care what species you are!

Its a Sub Zero 650 down jacket, black, no hood, women's medium. It is too big for fiance and Mountain Hardwear wont take it back because they are getting rid of their winter items. Retails for 160, so I think selling for 90$ is a pretty good deal. It has been worn for about 2 hrs total methinks. Still has tags and everything attached.

wow, just before she fired it, I said outloud, "its gonna hit her in the face."
