hey layton...i'm moving down to moab at the end of the month and will definitely be looking for partners. pm me if you're interested in exchanging info.

the exercises in the dodgy elbows article worked for me after about 2 months. definitely recommended.

here it is...man, blowing it today. http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/spo/1882481126.html

sorry, i have no idea how to hyperlink that.

Seems pretty odd to me: sale-mq59p-1871541819@craigslist.org

just a thought, but i'm not sure you'll be able to drive up to flagstone yet. i believe there was still a good amount of snow as of about two weeks ago.

bump for gas money.

i got the name...he got the house and the car.

Anyone looking for a ride down to Smith this weekend? I'm leaving town at 6:30am tomorrow and will head back sometime Sunday evening. Meeting the partner down there, so I'm rolling solo as of right now. Hit me up if you want to split some gas cost. Neal

One follow-up question: My partner and I are not currently Mazamas. Do we realistically have a chance in hell of getting into this class? I'm definitely crossing my fingers.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I really appreciate the insight. I had already filled out the application, and this definitely solidified my decision. Mucho appreciation.

Hey Folks, Just wanting to get some opinions on the Mazamas Advanced Rock Climbing class (i.e., trad class). I'd like to hear everyone's opinions? Have you taken it? What are the pros and cons? Would one feel competent to put up some moderate trad pitches afterwards? I've been sport leading for awhile and have increasingly been feeling the desire to get into the trad world. That said, I've pretty much failed at finding a good mentor to take me out consistently. I really have no preconceived notion about the Mazamas or the class and just came across the class the other day. It's something like 350 for Mazamas and 390 for non-Mazamas. I know the AMGA 2-days at Leavenworth are something like 1100 bucks. That's it....just want some info/thoughts/rants/etc. Thanks. Oh yeah...not sure if this is the right forum...move as necessary.

does anyone have an update as to what's going on with the access fund or negotiations w/ the railroad? obviously it's still closed...i just haven't heard anything since the may discussion above.

i feel the same way about the forest service and timber sales.

yeah, it's only 5 bucks, but that's not the real point here is it. it's our land. when the BLM stops subsidizing grazing, then i'll consider helping them fill the shortcomings in their budget.
