As I said, why don't you just voice you opinion by not clicking on my reports entirely. Seems to me that would save yourself some time. For the life of me I don't understand the issue. Is it that bothersome to click a link? For the many of you who have been clicking and reading my reports I hope that the content you find besides the report makes the daunting task of clicking a mouse button worthwhile. Can't some of you find some other person to flame on. E why don't you post your hiking TR's on a running site,or a fly fishing site, or maybe a basejumping site

let's rename "the farside" for the fuck on it again

i just wish my income was going up along with my insurance, then this would be no big deal. my insurance went up about $130 last year, this is not the usual trend. other wise my insurance would be about $1100 a month right now. now where's my play station and pipe

if, hypothetically, the cause of the increase was covering the retarded, elderly, unemployed, chronically ill, folks w/ pre-exiting conditions and children, are you saying that you'd just rather have the 65$ than help out? i totally want to help, and i decided to help you get a job this summer so you have a little more to contribute as well

unless ur a well seasoned as far as nailing goes, i think most peeps are gonna try a clean placement first.

Damned straight! That's why I wrote my new rep Jaime Herrera that I'm glad she's trying to overturn the healthcare bill because the people really want single-payer! Pink, how long have you had health insurance? Have you ever noticed that it goes up every year? *NEWSFLASH* It also goes up as you get OLDER. Welcome to the club grasshopper, you're moving closer to an AARP membership every year. yeah well it normally goes up $25 at a time, not $90. i've had this plan for about 9 years.

why wouldn't you want to do it clean? i really think tis was a silly question on JH's part, i think he just likes to talk tech no offense Joseph

that's as intellectual as i get mister. who do you have insurance with and how much do you pay?
-
gee i never thought about making any phone calls i think the real issue here is that the liberal government likes to REWARD INACTIVITY so i decided to quit my job, get my marijuana card, have eight kids and play video games all day, and let all the hard working folks pick up my tab
-
so my health insurance just went up almost $90 this last month. this is the 3rd time my insurance has gonna up since obama was elected and according to my insurance company it's not over. i guess i'll work one more day a week, oh shit!!! there's only 7 day's in a week. i have one thing to say, and i'll be done.

that flare was really odd, much softer than most of the rock i've experienced out at beacon, there was no X'ing/pasting/sniffing involved i drove them into the back of the seam with my cleaning tool and mostly set the heads like nuts. guess i was trying to keep from having to fix my brass nuts. the brass just wasn't biting into the rock and when weighted was causing the rock to dissolve around it. i think the softer aluminum was giving me more of a cushion. definitely one of the more thought provoking things i've ever aided other than one the harder pitches up high on aurora that i led late at night after being up for 2 days witnessed by Andy Kirkpatrick, which he refers to me as the "tin of piss" climber in his book "Psycho Vertical". think i was more sleep deprived on that one .

was never keen on having a PROJ bill, it would be a pretty hard freeclimb, all the good holds are upsidedown .

Trip: BaconCockRockinSlutSnot- Psychedelic Laceration how the fuck do i tell the tale of this stone to all fuckin hell blurr fest, perhaps i should pray to the sweet holy baby jebus. fact is i never even threw a TR on PL before, much less lead that crusty ass slit. i knew form the cocksucking moment i'd be throwing on the training wheels to polish off what mr. Opdyke and mr. Tracy started back during the Reagan Years. the year was 1998, my partner was Blueblocker, the plan was to do a complete one day journey to the center of the mind, minus Ted Nugent. instead we invited Mike Muir and company cause John wasn't gonna cut the butter on this one. the first pitch of PW 10.B was always a favorite free climb of mine, i was always into climbing Jim's (Opdyke) routes cause it's fucking near impossible not to wheather you like the guy or not. i like Jim, he's one of my best friends, Jim pretty much is Beacon Rock as far as i'm concerned. one day on one of my frequent free ascents of PW with Jim, pointed out that this line had never been done as far as he knew ( Jim knows so one fall day i drug my friend MIke (Blue Blocker) out to Beacon to Belay and keep me company to try my hand at this fragile seam. the first pitch was business as usual, fun moves on a adequately protected fun fest. i had brought a boom box and a bunch of weed to keep my partner sedated wile i plugged away at this alleged virgin line. the first part was relatively drama free, mosty A1 with a few tricky placements and good hook placements. the business started when the seam went to a LA sized flare which i had trouble getting any clean gear to stick in the upper section, the small HB brassies that i had kept on blowing out of the LA/KB sized crack. i never realized how soft the rock at beacon is prior to this, it's as if there is this egg like shell coating the entire thing. i would have loved to have placed some LA's (cause i love bangin iron) but the seam is in the back of a flare, so pretty much the eye gets in the way. i'm sure JH has some Straight Euro Trash Iron that would had worked well but i didn't have any of those soft pitons designed for climbing on soft rock like this. so i ended up placing a few small heads to get through the crux sections. i barely placed these heads trying to keep clean as possible, all the heads ended up pulling out of the crack as my partner jugged the lead line. as i neared the rim to grassy ledges i heard a familiar voice, as i poked my head over the rim i realized i was just in time for a safety meeting. my best friend Jim (Mr. Beacon Rock) was sitting there to greet and congratulate me on the FA. it's really hard to believe there was a virgin dihedral left out there. i don't remember what i rated this climb but the placements were definitely thought provoking and i do remember falling on a fish hook. funny thing was when i got to the top my partner asked why in the fuck i wanted to climb this pitch. i then informed him it was an FA. i knew he'd want a piece of it if he found out it had never been done. i guess Algernon was groovin on the boom box and flowers a got for him
