HUUUUUUUUGE STOKE!!!!! Well done sir.

Get out your velcro mittens!!!

If the snow is gone left of crater rock, be prepared to pick your way through some REALLY smelly vents and slippery mushy clay footing. It sucks. Go right of C. Rock, its worth it

I got one of those 2 days ago. what a pain. they got my email and changed the pw. not having a second email, it was a tedious process to get it back

I highly recommend cat vs ferret and worst hunter vs dumbest deer

but terribly boring. There are many other routes on Shasta. look into those, then descend A.G.

You know you're having fun when you've got a Cinch in one hand and a saw in the other :: I had to drop some alder on the edge of a gravel quarry to open up a heliport. Problem was, some of it was hanging a few feet down the face. If the boss asks how it was cut out, the answer will be just "you don't wanna know."

Sure there is! they flip all photos so they look way more gnar! look through the mag upside down some time and the photos get a lot more realistic.

oh, and do you know when the host's contract expires with the USFS?

Thanks for publicly going to bat for us Ian. Frustrating I'm sure to have to deal with it first hand. Are you seening any progress or are the concessionaires/FS holding firm on their position?

Me likey. Can we archive/delete irrelevent/obscure/outdated/retarded(...) political rant posts?

Granted, this is from a population of membership paying access funders...I'd still call it a good sampling of climbers.

You are all forgetting one important thing, that is worth sooooo much more; The opportunity to yell "SEE, THERE! THATS ME! I'M FAMOUSSSS!!!" to all your friends. Extrasonly.com will make you famous!!!

say that in spray and see what happens

Not sure why this was posted, after the original post, but has anyone tried this as his password yet?

definitely do the seasonal USFS/BLM thing. then you have half the year, and still have a job when you are over the dirtbagging

a buddy an I planned the windy day perfectly in the valley; we kayaked from eugene to corvallis, and due to the southerly wind, were able to paddle half the river with 25 mph gusts at our backs the whole time. It was perfect! we really needed a sail though.

ODub, that is amazing.

looks like the 3 stooges go ice climbing

Didn't like it. decent book, but the author went a little too far describing the rape scenes

crazy bastard...

Whats the deal with all the "sold" gear posts in the used forum? They are all posts from 3 years ago.

You did see him dangle at the end right? It is quite overhung! The straight on camera angle definitely isnt the best for showing the route, but the top half looked to be at least 10-15 degrees overhanging.

the dry red for-your-salad ones are vegetarian tvp...
