I get plenty worst times every time I read your posts...

Frickin awesome, up until getting a bone graph this morning... Bring on the percoset! Still hoping to give CNR of Stuart a shot but time is running short on that option. Maybe next weekend?

I'd bet those are JH's... LCK left them for JH to pick them up, but LCK tells me JH forgot to grab them.

Just windy with plenty of sun out there today... Off to work.

Cause they don't like twisted up ropes...

Wow, and I thought the Glacier Great White Shark was just a big myth... Scary stuff!

I've often thought a hostel style B & B/bakery/pizza pub that catered to the climbers/frisbee golfers/PCT hikers might work in N Bonneville. Then again, a friend of mine always says "you gotta wonder about a town (NB) where the only business that stays around is the U-Haul store"...

Epoxy and duct tape, just like the rest of Beacon...

Great. I suppose I'd better get up there and see what all the fuss is about since I'm now a shareholder...

PM/e-mail sent.

I was up a week and a half ago and it was pretty straight forward. Crampons are nice above the lunch counter but my wife did fine w out. I'd guess it has melted out a lot over the past ten days, so there may be a lot more exposed rock now though... Have fun. Let us know how it goes. The glissading chute from the summit was more like a bobsled run, over 4 ft deep in many places.

This fact weeds out the wannabees... Think of the crowds it would bring if it was 10 minutes from the car. Nice trip.

Thanks Joe, I'll keep an eye out for them and if you see them again, please give them my #...

Kenny tells me that there's still a lost cam up on the ramp of the corner, you should bootie that. How do you recon LCK got his namesake? I almost bootied it the day I met him, when he first placed the cam. I was like, hey a brand new cam, sweet. I fiddled with it enough to have it free, but then it walked back to where it sits now. I went up to Snag Ledge and met LCK... That must be your cam there eh... I've been meaning to give it another shot with a few more appropriate tools in tow, however.

I still don't see how disapproving equates to hate, automatically. The reasoning behind the legislation is religious/moral, not because they hate them. I can appreciate your point about it appearing to be hateful. The legislation on the table in Uganda would seem hateful, to me... I don't see opposing gay marriage automatically make people haters. It is a fine line between respecting peoples religious values and also giving everyone the same equal rights. I don't agree with the right wingers, but I can see why they are passionate about their point of view (they believe they are following god's rules, although that does not make them right). I can equally see how the left wingers feel about it and how they feel short changed/discriminated against. Hard to find any middle ground compromises both sides can live with. But yeah, your right about it being unfair to gays?

Are you questioning JO??? You know you will burn in hell forever for that one. Not that you were not going to anyway, you infidel!

I guess we are all ghey by proxy if we are posting here... Feels so good to finally be out, what a relief!

I guess we are all ghey by proxy if we are posting here...

Duh, the Bible, Koran and many of the world's religious experts say so. Come on, get with the program already, you infidel...

Rob, why is it that just because some people (not me) don't approve of homosexuality, that automatically makes said people "haters" of homosexual folk? Sure, some homo-phobes hate them, some just don't approve of it. There is a big difference (IMO). I might not approve of the ways my kids behave on any given day, hell, they might even turn out to be gay. But that does not mean I hate them when they don't behave the way I WANT them to. Can you see the point here? Same is true for most homo-phobe types. Yeah, this thread is Ghey.

Can't be 10a as I am a 10a climber, yet I can't get my fat ass up the damn thing clean. Guess your not a 10.a climber then.

Can't be 10a as I am a 10a climber, yet I can't get my fat ass up the damn thing clean. Guess your not a 10.a climber then. Only cause YW and Jill's are rated 9d+. If they were 10a (like they should be IMO), I'd could say I'm a 10a climber. Then again, we all know ratings are the purist form of science and there is never any room for doubting a rating, regardless of the type of climb, height, reach, weather, gear placements, mother's maiden name, blood alcohol level, etc... Oh, except for Blownout, of course.

Can't be 10a as I am a 10a climber, yet I can't get my fat ass up the damn thing clean. No, not a 9d, or 10b climber, 10a...
