Good to be home w the kids for a few days.

Very cool.

At 200K, the Red Devil still has a longer life expectancy than you...

No pics either but my first summer in Alaska I bought an old Datsun B210, complete with rotted out Fred Flinstone floorboards. Every time you hit a puddle, you get splashed in the face w mud. I paid $400 for it and put 10,000 miles on it in about 3 months. I got towed once for parking in front of Chilkoot Charlies and had to pay more than the car was worth just to get my climbing gear back. The u-joint finally went out going about 70 MPH on the drive home from the Talkeetna Music Festival, freaking the shite out of my passenger when the axle came slamming up and down into the passenger compartment. After that, I sold it to a guy for $20 who had a half dozen of em. Good times. Kind of sucked push starting it all summer, especially near the end when it was getting cold. My other favorite was a sweet 87 Landcruiser. Great climbing rig.

was that some sort of freudian slip http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Police-domestic-violence-nearly-twice-average-rate-2536928.php At least they have the guns in case something goes wrong...

Best I can come close to that is a rotting bear skull at a site I was working at back east a while back... Someone poached this poor bastard & left the head to rot. Yum.

Moonrise Over Denali Base Camp Certainly not a winner compared to some of the amazing shots posted already but I hear there may be some random schwag hand outs so I may as well post up...

Another stalker rears his psycho head...

The only climbing I do anymore is the 217 rung commute. Might dust off the shoes & rack when it warms up. I sure miss me Bacon. What are the local crags out near Walla Walla/Dayton? Thread drift. Here are some shots from work. We get amazing sunrises/sets here so I thought I'd once again recommend any climber to get into wind jobs. Obviously, a good fit, in some ways. Hope you like the pics, sorry for the interruption. Mostly phone pics so the quality could be better... Everything is better w Bacon...

It's a ROCK GOD sighting! "If yer not liv'n on the edge"...

The weather can go either way that time of year. Not likely to be very hot but it can be cold and windy, especially on the Black Velvet Wall and other shaded areas...

Good suggestions but also check Dark Shadows (5.8), Prince of Darkness and/or Dream of Wild Turkeys are must do, as well as some of the next door routes - Fiddler, Sour Mash, etc, Black Orpheous, to name a few.. POD gets a lot of crap cause it's way over bolted (22ish quick draws on 1 pitch) but it is excellent face climbing for about 6 pitches. I really like one of the old slab routes at the first pullout - Ultraman, makes for a fun warm up if you don't plan on headed back in the canyons and I doubt it gets much attention anymore. Johny Vegas & Solar Slab are great if it is cold. I've got a couple guide books if you want to borrow them. I don't have the fancy new one though.

you fucking pervert rob,don't be surprised if you get a death threat after that stunt mister We all need a little massage and release. Preferable on a daily basis...

2nd the foam roller. My sister, a Pilates instructor, gave me one and it's pretty awesome for massage/release, as well as core workouts.

If nothing else, at least I got to spend a weekend with Pink in CO, what a blissful stay. Thanks BroBrah.

i def. agree people could be a bit kinder around here... perhaps there should be a new manifesto/disclaimer written for spray stating it's all for fun. I promise to cease and desist if certain posters would not be so arrogant and mean. Just sayin...

Yes, but not really. We have seen cc.com threads lead to law enforcement actions and changes in land manager practices. I, personally, have received a death threat in response to a cc.com argument. Friends have been made and lost. What we say here is real. I guess that is the heart of fllicking poo at those I disagree with. I'll do my best to take the high road. But when enough is enough, I tend to get a bit flippant. My bad.

Because he's (your buddy) too much of an asscandle to get a clue and respect the ignore by mutually reciprocating. At the end of the day, it's all just spray. All fun and games till someone get's keyboard carpel tunnel syndrome.

Yep.

Do I hear a note of sarcasm? Throw some poop at his almajesty, it usually give me a quick laugh... I guess I missed out on a lot of excitement here while missing out on the clear skies and supposed lack of precip elsewhere Nope, same shite, dif. day...

Another unsolicited quote from his fan base "This site used to be fun till he (trashmaniac) showed up and ruined it"

Well, I did considerconsider just calling him a spoiled brat, but he definately takes it to the spoiled teen princess level. If only they'd just BANZ him already. Pretty hard to just ignore the screaming, rantings of a self indulgent toddler when he/she keeps bawling & chest beating on virtually every thread. Mommy & daddy just see little Eddy Hascal as an angel who does no wrong. I wish he was not so annoying but you know how that wishing thing goes...

Haha, that so totally supports your rant, because you like, called him a girl. What an insult, cuz girls are so... I dunno, you finish the sentence for me Dave, I'm sort of curious where you were going with that bit. Boy, girl, either one can be a spoiled little princess/prince. Same, same...
