Cragging

Supposed to be in the 60's and 70's all week in Vegas though, if you're into that sort of thing.

Patience Bill, It's like clockwork - You have all of February, March, April, May, June and half if not all of July to piss and gripe at each other.

So... now can we call you Brokeback Kenny?

I'll second that.

Can you have an Opdycke variation on an Opdycke climb? Would someone help an uninformed fella out?

Any news on this fire?

You can always come post on the Beacon Bitching Forum *cough, I mean, the Columbia River Gorge Forum. It doesn't matter how stupid you are, you'll fit right in.

Sigh. Let's see, that's now three of you who don't seem to know what retrobolting means. So, have you climbed YW this season? Yes? No? Oh, and if you had a name you'd at least stand some chance I'd give a wit about what you think; as it is you might as well be pissing on your keyboard and monitor. My identity is not a secret, if you read threads that are not pissing matches you'd know me: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/963690/Fare_thee_well_bruddah#Post963690

Sorry, all bets were off in the face of that sort of nonsense. Again, the route and the experience of climbing it is completely unaltered from the rebolting - go climb it and tell me otherwise. Rock fall blasting the hand rail off of the top of the p3 crux changed the experience of climbing the route; Jim, Bill and I trundling a ton or two of former holds off of the top of p1 changed it substantially; and folks muscling off a few holds here and there sure did as well - but my rebolting it, not at all. If anyone thinks otherwise then climb it and post up how the experience has changed. Otherwise, it just got new 1/2" SS bolts that will still be pristine when the whiners among you are bitching in your deathbed. You didn't get any consensus about what you did not changing the route for this community. I even wrote a 6 point argument stating why you should not retrobolt Young Warriors and as far as I heard, everyone but you agreed with me. For me, you changed the feel of the route irreparably by altering it's history which is something I appreciate deeply about the climb - SO FUCK YOU! One more time, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU AND YOUR ASS FACE, FUCK YOU. And one more thing, let's go climbing next time I'm back in town, but none the less, FUCK YOU!

Bill, quit posting useful advice here, it's not appropriate and not funny.

You should switch crags... you personality would fit right in with the other beacon regulars You mean BEATARDS, right? That's correct Dave.

Oh dude I forgot about that! If your lucky I'll post a picture of my Golden Turd Trophy.

This is CC.com Dave their is no fucking point. I even thoughtfully placed my pointless post in spray! I'm not sure but I remember one time in college leaving a particularly impressive turd in a recently married friends toilet and laughing my ass off at the thought of his wife finding it and getting mad at him. It didn't work as she was as dirty as us boys and thought it was funny. Ah the good old days.

I liked the name Gothic for the area but the people have spoken. Will the whole area be called Coethedral now or will there still be a different name for the area? Who had the fourth ascent of Salathe Highway? After our ascent with Ujahn, I heard Plaidman did it with Rhonda and Rick which is very cool. Thanks for saving the chimney route for me up there but I must say I was a little sad to see the other chimney get ticked - I guess that's actually good bc I can climb it when I come out.

Thanks Bill but you're too kind. Just bought my plane ticket to PDX. I'll b around from 7/18 - 8/4. We gotta plan a day to do "The Witches Chimney aka Upskirt" and I'd like to do a day at Gothic Rocks to just climb if that's allowed - maybe camp there.

So I walk into The Dark Horse to meet some people and on my way in, BEFORE drinking any alcohol, decide to use the restroom. There are two doors side by side; one reading MEN, the other WOMEN. So I naturally choose the door marked MEN and go inside. After entering I pass two women who are leaving, but for whatever reason I don't register this as a problem so I continue in further to find a urinal but do not find one. At this, I realize I have made a mistake and do not belong there. I don't know why seeing two women inside wasn't enough of a clue but they didn't seem suprised to see me either so that's probably as good an excuse as any. So I leave and sure enough the door through which I had passed read MEN. The fine folks at The Dark Horse decided that they would paint MEN on a hand with an finger pointing at the men's room on the door to the women's restroom, and WOMEN on a hand with an finger pointing at the women's restroom on the door to the men's room. I find this difficult even to type, let alone to process in the split second that my brain has to identify which bathroom is the appropriate one.

Troll?

Thanks Kenny and Bill - you guys make me feel all warm and fuzzy... wait... nope, that's the sunshine in Colorado doing that! BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! But seriously guys, Portland was a good time and climbing with y'all was a big part of that, Thanks for the memories. You all have a place to stay anytime you want to Jam Colorado cracks (even those who were too lazy to post - I know the feeling). Cheers, Adam

True enough, but the fact that they won't close the tourist trail (the proper action) doesn't mean they're going to grant climbers a second exception to the rule. Our numbers as a 'user group' are wholly irrelevant outside of the injustice of your emotional tumult. Why not grant a second exception, the first doesn't seem to be doing any harm?

Are you saying that I should stick the things in without climbing all the way up the ladder? - So, instead of putting the cam hook in and climbing up the ladder until my nards shrink up, I should place the hook and then place another one before climbing too high in my aiders? No wonder I shit my pants using them solo aiding; that or I'm just a pussy.

I don't care what people say about you moderators, you dudes rock! Thanks!
