Curling is so hot right now though.

From New Jersey, no less. She'd probably do a better job of telling you how to avoid getting hit by a stray bullet from a drive-by.

Those sports are dnagerous, but alpine/backcountry-motorcycle-paragliding on the way to work is the most dangerous.

Holy shit! A rap like that is something we've all done - many times. Very glad to hear you made it out with, relatively, minor injuries.

Ha. You've never even made a salient point in your life.

I was having a beer with a buddy the other day and he told me how he has a big fat rat living in his mulberry bush which he can see from his front porch. Last couple times he's gone out with his pellet gun and sat down to wait for the fucker, his wife coincidentally has come out and demanded that he come inside and satisfy her. So if you buy a pellet gun and go out and wait for the bastard, maybe you'll get laid too.

The exploding trap sounds like something you could mail order from Acme Corporation.

get your filthy fucking hands off me asshole.

I never liked those things much anyway.

From CAG Vol 2, 3rd Ed., p. 318: I think it's fair to say that the rock on Mt Torment is no worse than average for the North Cascades. Considering all the different routes done on it, you could make a case that the rock is better than average. The reports so far indicate that Craig Leubben was hit by ice, not rock. When compared to most of the other gneiss that I've climbed in the area, including Skagit and Eldorado gneiss, the rock quality of Torment is a lot worse. But that's only my opinion based on personal experience. Whether poor rock quality contributed to the tragic accident involving Craig Leubben has not been determined but I can't imagine there being much snow or ice on the peak this time of year except near the moat.

Interesting article. Thanks.

Good for you. But that's not really the issue here. I'm arguing that the Mounties should also have some outdoor walls / boulders that could actually keep at least a 5.9 climber interested. I, probably like many people, would be willing to pay and / or become a member of the Mounties for access to such a facility. Fair enough criticism though that I shouldn't complain if I don't get involved.

Jaberwocky is the pinner tower on the left of the gully on the way up to Colchuck Balanced. Acid Baby is on Enchantment Peak.

Torment is a big fucking choss pile.

Apple pie is good but cherry pie is better.

I may have engaged in some gratuitous tailgunning in my time but it was consentual and she was over the age of consent at the time. I swear.

What's even worse is that I hear Obama wants to take away the rights of people with Down Syndrome to hunt endangered wolves from helicopters. Now that would be fucked up!

What's wrong with having some walls and boulders for beginners and some that are more challenging? Maybe the Mounties get so much shit because they always try to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

That is rad. Nice work!

MJ is fun. I would call it solid 5.9. Don't remember anything particularly runout or devious.

Hopefully the route will get cleaned up more. For the record, I thought the grades were accurate.

The saga continues ...

That rock wall is dumb as fuck. I rode my bike there once to check it out go boulder on it took one look and went back to UW Practice Rock. Its like it was built for 5.4 gapers to climb in their poly pro gaiters and mountain boots. What a waste of a good opportunity to build a good outdoor bouldering facility in this town.

You cocksuckers will argue about anything.

The best descent I did off Snow Crick was in the winter at night. The moon was bright enough and we were able to just plunge step down the chossy slabs. But I digress.
