cool. I think silent running (7th pitch included) will be what we do. Gracias

I almost felt a tear comin' while reading that. Great work. Absolutely outstanding.

mann J-ladder looks like FUN.

Sounds like you are getting what MattP is trying to pass along, to keep you from having a bad day. It's a fun place but helps if you go with someone who has been there, to save all the off route issues. That would be ideal.

I hear ya, Matt. I dont think he had many slings, or pro to begin with. and before they headed out I was thinking it sounded like a bad idea. anyhoo... Im sure an extreme case such as that isn't common.

Dude. that was pretty creative. And so?? How was Germany?

Fa a 5.15b. then onsight 14.c an hour later. F'n amazing.

Ya I just want to avoid what my friend Dave did. Dave, who was climbing GGB (also first time to d-town) got off route and ran out 60m of his 70m rope. Apparently his belayer had around 30 ft of rope left, before he had clipped a single thing. Not even kidding about that one. To be fair though, he did say that the topo flew out of his hands at the second belay.

Definetly... I wouldn't climb so many pitches and leave without taking my shoes off at the top The reason I threw bluberry rt out there is because my partner might not be able to do a sustained 5.10 rt. I wouldnt hesitate for a second to lead jacobs ladder, or do Roan wall with another partner who is familiar with the area. Thanks for all the ideas... So what do you guys think might open up first? (dryness-wise) I almost wanna say that it seems like I should climb d-town with a local for a day or 2, and then bring my buddy out...

The renton domes are kind of a locals only thing. sorry dude.

Nice. definetly on the list. any others?

So I haven't climbed d-town before and I am trying to plan a good long day climb with a friend. Whats a good intro to darrington route for a 5.10 slab climber, with minimal route finding difficulties? Buddy wants to do dreamer, but i'd rather do that first with someone who knows the route and its variations. Any Ideas? How are the route finding challenges on blueberry rt on exfoliation? How about the decent route, strait foward? room for an epic on that? Gracias

hahaha.... it sure is a good teaser. thats funny shit man. wow, and I even posted on your topic... that's even funnier.

Indoor bouldering has always been harsh for my body, in many ways. I find I give problems that are at my limit way more go's when inside. Or other problems that are just below my limit- I think I climb too many of them. My last straw was the worst wrist tendonitis ive ever had from going a twice a week. Im done with indoors. Thats my solution.

Looks like tomorrow might be decent. Especially if it didn't rain today. Did it rain today??

pm sent.

Genepires is on track with "western wa". Not IB. The rock in the photo is not so easily viewed, treknclime. Also, I will not be confirming a right answer if someone guesses it. It's up to you be sure of what it is. Just wanted to show the porn. Silly, I know.

ofcourse not.

unfortunetly a very "normal" day...

Beleive it or not, this isn't Renton...

I'm trying smell what you guys are smelling... what exactly is fishy here? He did claim that he is assisting in the research for physicians who are part of UO. It didn't seem to me that he was claiming he was a UO physican/professer himself? I guess I don't see the danger in any of it either way... Am I being nieve?

Are you talking about the 12 to the right of bioclamtic quandary (5.9) ? If your asking if it will be cleaned, then most likely. Theres a lot of scrubbin to do in the area... wire brushes are cheap if you feel inclined

They could still have made a video without it being something disgusting and piss off the people in region that share his extreme beleifs. Instead of a video of just throwing him off the boat, they simply could have made a respectful video of someone giving him an islamic burial prayer and blessing him before he was thrown over. That would not have looked bad on our part and it would have supplied evidence. so seriously, what the fuck?
