I think there's like three threads about this already.

But isn't the alternative to government the unfettered free market, i.e. the insurance industry? I'm not sure you can have it both ways.

Anyone speak Mandarin? http://aaj.americanalpineclub.org/climbs-and-expeditions/asia/china/xinjiang-province/2009-keketuohai-reconnaissance-by-d-gray/

Whatever dude. How much can you dead lift?

I'm "working" right now.

I told them they should ban motorized transportation in the valley. Make those fat tourists walk in.

Looks like a good time to slay the crater.

That makes one of you.

DOg will hunt.

How long has that been there?

I figured his older brother put him in the microwave a couple times. He just ain't been the same since.

So you think there's another cause of Kevbone's autism other than getting vaccinated?

As Jim Donini said on ST about Slab Daddy, "Hurts my feet just thinking about it."

How come we haven't grid bolted the fucking thing yet?

I'm not sure what this thread is about, but its awesome!

That's perhaps just a little bit psychotic.

We should have one tram into an alpine cirque in the Cascades. Or at least a hut system or some shit.

I do think hand drilling encourages use of less or superfluous bolting and the route developer is encouraged to make more judicious and efficient use of bolts, which results (IMHO) in not only less impact, but a better quality route.

Good observations Darin. Those are important topics for future discussion. I have always wondered why bikes aren't allowed in wilderness areas. They obviously aren't mechanized.

Thanks for setting the record straight. Hopefully some day I will have the skill and "motovation" to "due" an overbolted .10b.

Sooooooooo true. A lot of folks here have done FA's. Quit autofellating yourself over it.

Regardless of power drill bolting in a Wilderness Area and bolting over an existing trad line, have you ever climbed one of Leland's routes? Bolt every fucking two feet. Fucking weak.

Its actually a pretty good analogy. And regarding your talk of respecting the first ascentionist, Leland and co. certainly didn't respect Priess's FA of the face, the line nor the style with which it was put up.

NWhikers has some really good beta about road access and approaches and shit. I've never spent much time on their forums though.

I have heard there is a walk off.....but is takes you way out of the way. The raps suck. Take belay gloves for the raps. Belay gloves are for girlfriends. And Kevbone.
