WOW! Did you spend all night cutting up the script. That was good. Real good. Plaidman That JH is a funny S.O.B. when he wants to be.

That's some funny shite, JH.

I need to find Rosetta Stone's free climbing! It's called the Portland Rock Gym. Course, I'm not sure how pulling plastic is gonna help you up Blown Out, but you'll certainly get strong like Gumby, damnit.

Nice!

I thought that was the fruity stuff... PBR is much more white trash/red neck champagne.

Then you would not be able to chime in. Just sayin, bout your sprayin...

Seems like Fargo (Nate) got on that last year but maybe I'm thinking of a different line that comes off a different route.

Yes....crazy horse. That is the second pitch. I think that is 5.9. The way Jim describes it is to lead is 10.a and to top rope it, it is 5.9. I agree with Jim, it is a bit heady on lead till you get past the crux, feels 10a to me.

For some reason this does not sound quite right... a 20 degree bags that weighs less than 1 pound? Is it a half bag or sumpin?

I also really like that 5.10ish fingery thing off of Yos Ledge, just left of the rap anchors. What is that again? Crazy Horse?

I always thought that too, as do most people I've asked. However, last year I found a way to work a bit higher with the hands that make it 5.9, at least for me anyway. If I don't use that hold and go out way right for the insecure slabby move, it's feels very 10a. I love Jill's but if you fall at the crux, odds are good for rolling/breaking an ankle on the bulge below so it's never a gimme in my book.

Look at it this way... If the noobs all get eliminated on that route, they won't be yarding on all the other loose holds... Hmmmm

In by unanimous decision (insert drum roll here )... Everyone's favorite at Beacon is... the 5.8 OW start on Free for All. Followed by a close second is... Delusions of Granduer.

Maybe they are talking about the other Marc Leclerc? Mark Fu**'n Leclerc...

Looks like Ivan has started a trend with the mini bomb box! I got mine... I use it to drowned out Ivan's singing!

NICE!

Who's headed out today?

I've got a couple climbing buddies that may have some beta for you... One is a bush pilot that does mostly climbing support flights for Wrangell. The other buddy has done at least one extended ski/climbing trip there (or maybe a few). PM me if you would like me to put you in touch with either of them.

Weather looks promising for Sat...

Chanterelles Yeah, they want to go there all the time now. They even run to the tunnels and yell "Hey Kenny, hey Jim, are you in dare".

SICK SENDS!

Ivan once told me he was famous. I replied, don't you mean INfamous?
