Movie in Japanese but visuals are real neat and if I/someone else posted this little flick already...who cares... bush vs. restofworld Enjoy!

duh, it was the quote of bush sr.

case in point.

Bush is such a fricken idiot....as Nostradamus once penned..."Come the millennium, month 12, In the home of the greatest power, The village idiot will come forth To be acclaimed the leader." or as W's father used to say as well, "what we have, is a NEW world order..." FUCK.

um yes. to the plank you go....

The bolts are there cuz the short rope beckey was aiding on stopped there. Going up blind and stopping to belay at a Mooosh!t stance (when if one looks up and realizes they have the rope stretch to get up to a better stance) further proooves the idiocy in leaving the bolts at all. Fuk it just yank the bolts and put in a espresso stand. Since that is what really is needed up there.... On second thought: When the bolts have been there for as long as they have been, why suddenly are they too old for any further use, knowing the bolts have sufficient gear to back them up...? I think FB should way in on this argument.... considering he put the damn bolts in and last time I checked still running around this globe we call home (@84).

If you allow the broad range of people to post, then egos will flare up and words will be written that will no doubt make someone cry and give you reason to ban them or delete their posts and then what will we accomplish....Nothing. just like all the other threads which deal with similar ethical questions. What I do not understand is the large number of "elder" climbers that insist to "bolt" without regard to ethics. The same ethics which they used to support and practice. Makes no sence unless maybe...yes I got it, perhaps there is something in the drinking water that has altered their perception of reality. The Fluoride?!

that was more of joke you dolt written only to lure you out of your cave. I am well aware of the imbricate thrust sheets (nappes) that make up the San Juan Islands...the islands are not a Mz "flysch" but rather segments of the ocean floor and trenches from long ago (faulted and folded) together. The age of the rocks has been dated to cover most of the Mesozoic and the islands also contain Paleozoic rocks. The incipient metamorphism is of a low grade nature. Honestly, the word fresh was used to indicate the crappy nature and young exposure in regards to the rest of the Cascades. Mark, I have an awesome new tectonic map from Joe Dragovich and Ned Brown that I am sure you would love to see. I could even pdf it to you for some money in exchange...as you know there are no FREE lunches. cheers.

good job. So mr sobo says: Unreal...was not that long ago 250 was the number to remember....exponential growth indeed. sh!t that baby will probably be rich before it gets out of diapirs. lucky bastard.

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....
