bolts aren't okay at beacon but gluing the 5.6 gumby route back together is not just permissible but also necessary. even joseph's ethics are infinitely malleable when there's something he wants.

i think that device is what raindawg has been using to dig up ancient egyptian artifacts.

the opinions of those trained and experienced in outdoor search and rescue are as nothing when compared with the wisdom of the couch potatoes on the editorial team at the oregonian, whose experience with the outdoors is limited to walking from their front doors to their cars. of course, actually knowing something about the subject under discussion is grounds for disqualification in the yahoo universe of the oregonian and its readers.

0947 on monday. after that the days start getting longer. almost there, ivan, hold on just a little longer...

i saw a pair of these for sale on mountainproject.com

101 days climbing thus far in 2009. and i've still got two and a half weeks to add to the tally.

i'm not on facebook either, but i'm not screwed, i'm just not gonna see this tr.

i say we throw the in debtor's prison until they pay back the money. or lock them up in stocks in the public square. or both. lashes with the cat-o-9- tails, maybe?

marcus, thanks for some great days of ice in the gorge this week! looking forward to the next time.

way to get after it! petrifying wall is such a classic bit of stone.

way to go amigo!

Thank God you don’t own the site. Silencing people simply because you don’t agree with them is lame as lame gets. I don’t agree with a word that either of them write. I do however think they should have to right to say it. Heaven forbid they discuss rock climbing in a rock climbing forum. And to all the pope and raindawg bashers (me included)…..try not reading their posts, or replying. Pretty simple if you ask me. K kev, let me help you connect the dots. a discussion is this: discuss verb [ trans. ] • talk or write about (a topic) in detail, taking into account different ideas and opinions a rant is this: rant |rant| verb [ intrans. ] speak or shout at length in a wild, impassioned way : she was still ranting on about the unfairness of it all. noun a spell of ranting; a tirade : his rants against organized religion. PHRASES rant and rave: shout and complain angrily and at length. raindawg and pope don't discuss climbing ethics, they rant about sport climbing. a discussion would belong in the "rock climbing" forum, but a rant belongs in "spray". i hope this helps. jefe

i saw that about macleod's book, sounds like it could be interesting. also, he's actually studied exercise physiology, so should have some clue about how the human machine actually works. as for how often to train, i remember malcolm smith saying you can train 5-6 days per week and i believe paxti works out many consecutive days, sometimes all 7 days. as for me, i train something almost every day, usually up to 6 days per week. some days climbing specific stuff, some days just a long run, often 2 different things in a day. i rest when i feel tired or the day before i want to climb hard. occasionally i rest 2 days consecutively, but not very often. for me knowing when to take a day off is really important. i get a tweaked finger once in a while but it's never so bad i have to lay off climbing. i try to monitor for injuries pretty closely because i'm old and it would take a long time for anything serious to heal.

muchas gracias, off white. job well done!

thanks for the link and the pictures.

that's the spirit, plaidman! go get some!

is the rock on salish peak as clean as it looks in these photos? looks amazing.

now it works. thanks for checking.

i can't get your link to work, devo.

temps along I-84 were in the 30s today and in the teens along highway 35, so i'd be very surprised if anything up on hood NF has melted.

how come dave gets a scare bear from brainfog and i don't? guess i just have to try harder...
