Yes, on both questions.

I noticed one rather large and very loose boulder on the upper exit trail coming off YW/SE Corner. It was on the right side of the trail (climber's right), about 40-50' from the fence. It will probably need more than one person to move it to a "safe place" but won't take much to dislodge it either.

Well now that you mention it... I was thinking most of those new ads are kinda of creepy. Some of them look like cyborgs or sumpin. the skivy ones are nice though.

El Ron would dominate the latino vote. And Tom Cruise as a running mate.

I wished I could have made that one. I saw him with Dire Straights a long time ago and it was a great show.

Thanks for all the work JH.....I would agree with the helmets.....but would take that a step further and say you should wear your helmets anytime you climb. ANYWHERE I usually wear mine even hiking down the climbers trail before roping up. Some of those missiles have bombarded the trail too. Plus, you look so cool with your brain bucket on, right...

:lmao:Yeah, schmegma, now that is a very useful word that I have forgotten to use in years. Thanks GGK.

Thanks again.

Dooohhhh, guess it's clipping bolts at the zone for tomorrow then. Thanks for letting us know.

Joseph, what was the final verdict on the birds anyway?

Yippee Kiaya, Thanks for all your effort at Beacon Joseph.

WRONG! It's not a contract, it's an insurance policy... for the woman! When the policy matures, she's guaranteed half your shit, fer sure. Isn't that why God gave us sugar mommas? So, we get half of there shit...

It's Trad Guy leading a Trad Mountaineering class. The head end is testing cell reception with the tail end. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW I thought you were supposed to put a can at each end of the rope and then talk/listen in the can.

Safety in numbers.

Not a huge fan a the Nuge-Dude but I hear he used to climb like a madman.

As long as you don't have kids you should still be able to get some climbing in (assuming lovely new bride is not the all possessive type). Once you have kids it may be a few years till you get to climb much at all. I know you will hear the exception to this rule but I think if you marry a non climber your odds of getting out often go down a lot once kids enter the scene. For that matter, you won't have time for much of anything, let alone climbing once the yougins hatch. Just my 2 cents. Congrats... Marriage is a contract, you'd better read it before you sign it!

I always thought that one was pretty cool too!

Bill, I went ahead and splurged a few months ago and bought my first Mammut... 70M, super dry, bi-color, 10.5. I really like it but it was not cheap. I had been telling myself for years that my next rope would be a Mammut and now it is. Never been real happy with the Beal's but I've also only used other folks and never owned one myself. The price is usually right. As far as your freebee rope, I'm guessing it is not likely to break on a sport climb fall. Rather, it has probably lost most of it's elasticity. On the safe side, JUST DON'T FALL! & everting gonna be all-ight. BTW, Click & Clack rule! But can you remember last week's puzzler?

Any word on the cause of death? It sure seemed like he was still going strong but I have not really kept up with his life. RIP!

But he keeps making me drool.

*Cough *Gearwhore* Cough* Takes one to know one eh Bill... Ok, I admit it, even though I've never touched your rack, I do have rack envy.

If he was a stranger, how do you know he is perfectly good? Just curious.

When I was 6, I looked at our stove and thought it looked hot. I then decided to press my hand on the burner to make sure it wasn't (after all it should be cool since no one was cooking at the time). It was hot and I had a nice spiral burn for the next few weeks. If it looks hot it probably is, Duh!

"Ha, everyone knows that gold wiring is far superior to silver because gold not only has better conductivity, but ALSO never tarnishes so that the impedance matched sheathing need not be hermetically sealed - thus helping to offset the greater price of gold cabling. Also it is critical that the length of the wiring be phase matched to the upper end of your hearing range. The downside of course is that this limits the length of quality gold audio cables to about 3 cm, This minor problem can be circumvented by using true (unfolded) Klipschorn speakers enclosed in a ten Torr vacuum with the electrically driven element located very near the power amplifier and facing in opposite directions feeding into a room built in the form of a Klein bottle in order to feed the sound waves through the fourth dimension so that they are in phase when the sound reaches the listeners ears. Since some of the energy is lost to the forth dimension, a flux capacitor must be used in the final output stage of the audio amplifier to achieve the ten terawatt output needed to compensate for the loss due to passage through the fourth dimension." Duh
