I can't make out if that's Chirp or Curtveld crying in the back ground? [video:youtube]

Well poison squirrels, this is the last cc.com post I'll be making. You've finally convinced me you don't value early opens so I'll be ceasing monitoring the Peregrines and trying to coordinate any more early opens. I do have to admit to being utterly baffled as to your choices - like deciding you'd rather focus on deliberately breaking the closure in order to insure the park's phone message is right instead of having a full-moon party on the ledge Saturday night because that's exactly what this latest moronic three stooges stunt cost you. But hey, these are your choices - so be it and cool. But let's be excruciatingly clear here given I'm out of here, your actions of the past three years are directly responsible for, and have insured, the closure will stand, unaltered, for years to come. In fact, if you're smart you won't even say the word 'closure' again until about 2020 or so. You especially shouldn't make the mistake of saying word one about it in your little movie - that would be a colossal fuckup (hint, guess how many Mazama and AAC members are [i know, reprehensibly] also Audubon members?). Unbelievable really, that you claim to want to lift or amend the closure, but then proceed to vilify and act adversarially and in continual bad faith with the very "cops" and "whores" who are the ONLY people who could make that happen. And guess what? There is no amount of outrage, public campaigning, scientific guns-for-hire, facebook postings, or wailing which can force those individuals to make the changes you want. NONE, NADA, ZERO. The ONLY hope you had was establishing long-term good faith, trusted, mutually-respected working relationships with them in the hope over time you'd be able to work out a trial run at modifications and then pray none of you fucked it up. But you guys have made it way more than clear you aren't having any of it and that the "cops" and "whores" who manage the park can go fuck themselves - cool, but the only ones who keep getting fucked with that approach, that resentment and that spite is you. Brilliant!!! All I can guess is the closure whining you've raised to a high art form just feels so good at this point you can't live without it. So I'm out - out of cc.com, out of monitoring, out of coordinating early opens with the agencies, and hopefully out of earshot of the years of Feb 1st whining to come. I'm perfectly happy with my climbing alternatives during the closure and looking forward to getting out to Beacon. Which brings up a final comment. You guys really have no idea what I'm about, but let's put it this way, if I have less than a cordial time out there, or if I run into any more uncivil actions like the four times my DZ rap line has been cut (the last time below edge where it couldn't be seen) then we are all - myself included - going share in some seriously profound remorse. My advice, make your decisions wisely and leash your dogs as I'll be around, but beyond this post you'll never hear the word 'closure' from me again. See ya... PROMISES PROMISES…. SIGH!!!!

2 many windows!! ya fuckin pervert

That's what happens when you do trade routes and i don't think either one are assholes, i think we all take turns being the ass of the party, that's part of life

the rock at beacon is pretty soft, not much ringing going on there compared to granite. btw, what's your point?

i agree! every year it's like scoring a first ascent!

Beacon is about due for a new generation of "New School" seeking "Old School" dudes who wanna pull down and have fun together…. This place has lacked this dynamic since Mark Deff and Co. have moved on….

ivan, where is your annual Yosemite TR? Did you not head down this year?

Well, I trust her opinion on fixed pins way before yours given you don't have the slightest clue about the state of pins at Beacon. Every single pin on the south face was inspected and either deemed good, reset, or replaced with pins off of Middendorf's ebayed spare pin rack. Also, given both bolts were spinners in 58 of the 74 anchor sets replaced out there it's impossible to come to any other conclusion that the pins placed at Beacon far, far out performed the bolts. In fact, the worst, underperforming bolts were placed in the 90s. So exactly what anchor bolt has "blown"? Name them... [ P.S. the two most dubious pins at Beacon are the first pin on p1 and the angle on p4 of Young Warriors, both are pretty much vanity clips as the odds are better than average either would blow on you. ] Seriously - exactly what pins have "blown"? Name them, or STFU with this bullshit. People who are not locals should take posts like this - and it is entirely indicative of precisely how and what these guys really think - as a clear indicator that they don't have the slightest interest in managing climbing at Beacon, working in good faith with the land managers ("cocksuckers", "cops", and "whores"). Just the opposite, they have one and only one obsession and in that they do everything possible to insure nothing changes in that regard. P.S. Yep. Dropzone rap line cut four times. Believe it, because only one of the two of us is continually just making shit up out there and it isn't me. On the other hand, that makes you chief-heir-in-line to that pathetic legacy.

call ZURICH

Hey Kenny, Your battery is getting a little low Pink

Goating: The act of going down on someone and ripping off their pubes with your mouth then blowing it in their face. That's hardcore dude!

And like Kevin said, it's Dropzone.

Well, as with Kevin's claim of saying one thing and doing another, please do cite an instance, otherwise it's just more of your whole-fabric-from-the-ether, overly-dramatic mewling. I mean, WTF, for a bunch of guys who like to spout "keeping it real", you rarely if ever do. so can you define, you guy's?…. what guy's? do you have a list of guy's?

did it look anything like this ?
