A pirates favorite beer is not pbr, it is really Stella ARrrtois...

can't you access the crags from the logging roads above town?

I heard today from MA that the line between passenger and leland may be another Burdo route... anyone confirm?

you don't even need said rusty pieces of sh!t. there is natural pro right above and below and all around the belay. just open your eyes and let the wonderous rockwall show you the way to pure free climbing!!! have a great day!

Hah! was an imaginative mind you gots there avitripp. You should lick that toad again and see what your mind creates when you think of the persian gulf. why is the chinese government so set on controling the mountainous country of Tibet? Is it cuz it realizes the financial gain it can have by charging all us westerners for climbing/treking???? Do they like the houses? Why? ??? I am serious here...W-H-Y-???

Dude, there are many spinners out there. Ask Vik, I am sure he has a list of routes with ?able bolts...if not can make one. The bolt(s) on Tober are questionable but with all the great gear around you don't "quiver" that bad.... I think Goat dome needs a retrobolt replacement job. But, does not need any inbetween existing bolt retroment. Givler's dome probably has some similar routes.....um, how about any other pre90's route at Leavenworth. Or try Peshastin Pinnacles if really ambitious. hope that helps.

hey rat, nice pic. you look like your happy. did you drink or something? your pal, ben ps. did dan visit the party or not? I went to Lake Wenatchee for the JimJack party. yeah me. I miss you rat.

Hey! hah! I always thought the name: radiohead to be a good band name.

works!

fuck this world is going, going....going..... thanks for the link, druL nice mentioning of this beast too: "China is a partner in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, a 500-megawatt experimental reactor to be built in southern France. The European Union, Japan, South Korea, Russia, the United States and India are also involved in the project, which will seek to mimic the way the sun produces energy." yikes!!

don't know where Macs are made. for sure i'll be more cautious what products i am buying from now on. and at least i voiced my opinion. have you? missed this thread...perhaps more red flags and fucks in the post are needed for people like me to notice. Honestly, I have to say america does not give a fuck but they also do not realize that our debt to china is HUGE and one day those chineese sons of bitches are going down...er, I mean will ask to collect there money due...w/interest of course. for a good laugh====> click this: probably posted before but still funny and scary really......

Sunday, I glimpsed up the icicle during the rain break and saw freshiez at 7000'....my guess is the enchantments will be nearwinter conditions but unless we get dumped on not more than cold with some snow patches and Wet!

If I understand the description by korrigan correctly, then yes one may climb up through the very thin crack moves with dirt,moss, flowers...near the 1st bolt. I have done both ways and first did this "straight" up Dave recommended way years ago w/DC however, we also had a third companion named MJ and she stuck with us from house to house. Regardless, I remember the fear in my heart as I did the dynamic finger lock moves around the vegetated micro placements. good times! This has definitely been done numerous times prior bolt retro-placement based on amount of visible cleaning (ie. my nut tool was not needed very much to get gear or fingers in the crack).

that is for the office time I spend in this toilet of seattle and not to you mr crazyJZ or anyone else...only for the reality of my pain sitting in this damn basement wasting valuable climbing hours.............

By the length of LG's hair I would say maybe as old as he's been climbing.... Yeah, it is an old photo. I am sure Lance can give us the exact date....

Fresh oceanic crust rocks mixed with some old beach deposits covered by glacial spew. Now that makes for some great Rock climbing experiences. Honestly, I have wondered about the development quite often while sailing around the islands.

well said.

err, i meant only dc and me climbing scw together, oops. we both climbed scw a few times before climbing this same linkup. yep, there is an uncanny draw to this feature. i think about that gut wrenching spin in space quite often. look fwd to the next battle.

I agree DH the CBR is a MSBatholith classic! SO true: heartpounding and fun! if, you don't swallow your pounding heart. All there: yes, indeed. Its not even 5.11, as I am told, the key move is a trick...I gave up, after missing the jam around the fist jam and batmanned up to the lip. God, even the belay stance kinda makes your heart flutter. Now that I reminisce, I think this was DC and my first time up SCW and 1st climb together period. Good times!

The problem is the blinded by the light ambition that provokes people into bolting for the sake of bolting. GY mentions slings being an overabundant eyesore in places like Prusik WR. Well, if everyone only used what was there instead of adding to the nest then, the nest would stay minimal. Moreover, if the worried sling testers, replaced the sling in question by removing crusty snafflegnawd pink flaggin and left a bew bright shinny sling, the abundance could be controlled "better." Yet, people are lazy by nature. So the 'if its not broke why should I fix it' thinking prevails in the mental battle of the adventure climber. Likewise, the ten+ mile approach and deproach sort-of scares the otherwise ambitious adventurer into leaving the nest for the snaffles and Jac and jil to deal with later. I think you mr Yngve, hit the nail on the head with the people problem...but really the problem lies with the people not giving a shit due its not really their rock or land or eyesore. so why should they care but just climb and clip the bolt next to the simple nut placement or take the rapride down. Cuz carrying shoes up the trail on the harness suX. Honestly, I have been guilty of said disputes but, changing the future and the present is a group effort.

they all say the same thing... i am lost in the waves and matricies of drivel. help matt, guide me to the way of "safe" posting.

Well then. Jon and Tim. Please, can you post a How to post in TRs guideline so every person out there understands the way it works around here. I think such discussion was more than relavent to the statements that were posted. And matt, thank you for such kind words. I sincerely appreciate honesty and humor wrapped up in such limited space. Edit: btw, matt I am sitting. that is why I am on this website. If I were standing I would not be at my computer, rather being productive or laughing about something.

yeah, take any wind out of the sail and the motor will fire up. ===>deleting or calling such arguments "spray" only further prooves the facts that have been many times stated and supported by such childish antics. "you" should have left the posts stand and lock the thread but really I am not suprised by communistic actions. ACTUALLY i changed my mind. I am glad you moderated and made my friend look like a tool. You are a great asset to this web community and please continue to show us all How to behave and talk like adults. In other words ""you"" for king MODERATOR! ps: how can anyone state delutional fantasy with an avatar picture such as yours mr P?

When I was spit down pellit gully hiking off the greathorned owl, the spyderco I had on my harness also opened... very humbling, when Dan and I were sitting there assessing my bloody head and I looked down at my harness to see the knife blade partially open. It could have stabbed/killed me or dan. too bad, I guess.

BRoss, I may have time....if I can escape, it would be around noon....
