lol. guess the weight of 630 + bolted routes. lol If someone brings the quickrete, shovel, I will be there this weekend. . .My birthday is on the fourth, so i will have a party there Sat, and Sun I was going to clean all day. so i will have lots of buddies there. . .hopefully make new ones as well. you guys rock see you there.

no, gonna leave all the junk that the climbers leave.

K. I will try to provide an option like the gallery here. . .click it and it gets bigger. . .oooooh!

there is already a cleanup for this fall, I just wanted to do the 'pre-emptive' clean, get people in the mindset.

well, I know Lucky pretty well, and he is the V.P. of FCCC, so I am sure I could get some fundage or at least a sick cookout. check out http://verticalpope.com/trips_07.html for photos of last weekend at vantage. and thanks for the support, It is so nice to know that others despise the mess. one thing in particular: the new red iron trail signs need to be grounded in Concrete. . .so if anyone would want to bring some mix, I'll pack it!! On March 4th. However I will be there both weekends.

all you climbers that love vantage but hate the mess that the concert goers leave, PLEASE get back to me if you are interested in getting together for a good Saturday of cimbing, and a morning of clean-up on sunday next weekend. I sure hope enough people respond to make this worthwhile and efficient.

bigger pics. . .so here are the pros and the cons: Bigger=slower. and how many people are going to get bored waiting for a large .jpeg to load?? Or what I could do would be to have the viewer click on the image to make it larger. Whatta think?? right now my page is quite fast I think. . . "Credo quia absurdus est"

what about Polar Circus? Out of the question cause Ave haz??

This weekend?? going to canada 'cause can't think of anything down here 'dry' enough to be worthwhile.

Phenominal weekend!! Sat was shirts off all day, sun: a bit blustery, Mon: almost no one, climbed till dark and loved every moment.

Tear it up. . . I know there are bugs, working them out like every other new site Going madd uploading photos from an Archaic PowerMac 9500. . . Thinking of putting up a first ascent page. . .no spray, email and post. . . Would love suggestions http://www.verticalpope.com

32 is great if you are with one other buddy who just wants to climb hard, otherwise if you are with climbers of different abilities. . .38. nevermind wall at 38 is fun fun fun. lots of great 11's, and a couple 12's wourth doing. check out Negatheron. . .first half rocks!

very true. . .some of the best trad routes are above 5.10. there are only a couple under worth doing, ei. Party in your Pants. . .some fun stemming. the frequency of rock fall is dependant on where you are climbing. some of the lower walls are directly below cayote wall and tilted pillars. . .

would gibralter wall be up after this weekend?? or climbable/?

nope, but there will be on monday, gotta go climbing I just put some more photos up, but the links are funcky got to work out some bugs. http://www.verticalpope.com/trips_06.html also, those of you who live in or love North Idaho. . .check out http://www.nor-id.com

K, the prev/next thing is a good idea. I like the verdana font, but I can see that I couldbetter the contrast of the text vs. the background. oh, and could anyone think of another link that they would like to see on a climbing website??

it is still under construction, so you got to go to trips, then /07 and I want some input on the navigation of the site. and other things i could add to make it more interesting.

thanks. . .know who you talk to go correctly go about accessing the land for future reference??? did Lords mention anything about that???

Hey, so I tried out myspace, tried out facebook, tried the emails with fouty pictures that everyone eventually got pissed off about. . .so I just made my own friggin' web site. http://www.verticalpope.com won't be here much more, unless you know where any ice is still standing in the lower 48 Yeeha. CRAIG POPE

Oh wait, maybe cause been there done that, why not try something else???

Well, perhaps I am on the wrong forum, should one read between the lines. . . I should be on the 'looking for ice climbing buddy' I'll take my bubble some place else.

It's bolted, let's go do it anyone!!!!!
