Stoked!

Right on Bill!

hey, rope swings are fun! but maybe rope swings are not a sport unless you count jacking off as a sport as well...

No arguement about the birds because we as climbers and as a group are going to support them and their nesting any way we can. The birds are part of Beacon, as we are part of Beacon, we are intertwined and Beacon needs both.

so thats where you and I differ Kev, I usually like to make it to the bottom with no injuries. thats what I'm talking......

This same cam on sale now from Mountain Gear 44.97 each. Order 2 and its free shipping. All cams 25% off. So I'd be interested in the cams but would have to be better by a bit then what you can buy brand new from the dealer for. Where are they from out of curiousity and why are you selling?

The fun is just beginning Dave. You're just a little late to the party. Get racked and get with it!!!

Kevbone, to answer your question in my view, depends on the climb. Obviously getting to the top of a hard El Cap route, just about anything goes. Where as getting to the top of a hard free route, its the style that counts. So which climb ya talking about?

Hi Mark, Great to meet you as well. Sounds like Bill and Dave hooked you up with Kenny and Jeff's contact info, thanks guys. Rock on, heres to a great season!

Anytime they can write a ticket, they will not get tired of it. Its revenue.

Way cool!

I guess, We as climbers, never realized that objective dangers included some asshat on a rope swing, but sounds like you want it added to the list?" Not ok.

Here ya go Dave. Yesterday Larry on Young Warriors leads the first ascent of the season with Ivan on the SE Corner in the background. Larry topping out on the second pitch. Kenny starts up the long third pitch of Warriors. Ivan filming me as he solos past us on the 5th pitch of Young Warriors with the boombox rocking. Will someone get a rope for this guy? Kenny at the sandy slabby section of Jills Thrill, or at least it was sandy for us after 6 months of no one climbing it! Kenny chilling. Ivan having a much needed smoke after solo climbing the Corner and YW 3 times. Kenny taking it on home. Good day lads!

Yep, its open. Allot of people out for the opener including two of the legends of NW climbing, Mark Cartier and Jeff Thomas!

Nice photos~

I still want to hear about the German lesbians. Ya!

WOW

Looks like a great time! Castle Crags is huge, bigger then the City, and my favorite spot now.

Thank you Ian for being proactive, and making the right decision and having the balls and the motivation to make it happen. We(the climbing community) don't need the fallout from events like this going down.

Good on ya guys for going at it hard! yeah, as Ana says, Whos the Epic magnet now? hahaha! Good day yesterday at the crag with flipping Ivan sending everything he got his hands on! Seems like doing El Cap makes everything else kind of incidental.

but..but..but.....we wanted Ivan's trip report tonight...

All you can handle. What gear do I need? Single ram of cams and stoppers? micro cams?

Joe, I thought you and I were having a climbing shoot-out soon per the Taco. You say you got some really great routes you put up at the Farside, so lets go have you lead them, then we will pull the rope and its my turn. Where and when jack? Good on ya Eric and Ben for getting er done, twice. Way rowdy!
