You can get EggMcMuffins at Walmart.

The CRG forum was created for the posting of Trip Reports, exchange of beta, and posting of notices related to closures and meetings. Access and bird discussion are no longer permitted. Climbers have the appropriate organizations and mechanisms to deal access issues, at Beacon, or anywhere else. We do not think it is anyones best interest to continue these discussions here at this time. It's our opinion these matters are better handled offline in their correct venues. Thanks.

People seem gladly willing to pay $54 to ride up Grouse. I don't think it's unrealistic to see those numbers especially after Brittania Beach and the Squamish waterfront get developed.

I had to put my EggMcMuffin down to participate in this important thread. http://www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/pets.htm http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/olympic/learning/safety-ethics/?cid=fsbdev3_049550

I think it was last summer on the top of the Chief some women had her dog off leash and it was running around chasing snaffles. The snaffle ran over the ledge and I was waiting for the dog to do one last fly ball. I just about barfed.

I didn't give you a valid answer because it wasn't a valid question to begin with. I answered the question above. It had nothing to do with the screen name, you just made that assumption.

Knock yourself out guys

how did this site come into existence? I've always wondered... Well, we were in a frat together, and one night got really drunk, grabbed two chicks to see who we could get to yell the loudest, and when we were done, smoked a few bowls, drove to Taco Bell, and after a few taco supremes decided to start a climbing site.

I'm still working through the process of assigning past TRs to a correct location. As I stated previously we have close to 7000 TRs, so getting them all indexed correctly is a major undertaking. The automatic way I'm doing it is rather flawed at the moment, so I'm trying to figure out quick methods so that only correct locations are assigned. One thing I was curious about is in the current implementation how many TRs from each of the top users are getting indexed, regardless of whether it is correct or not. I can't get the data to past in here correctly, but Ivan gets the award for the most not indexed and danhelmstadter gets the award for the most that do. Congrats. I'm also starting to build out the interface for allowing a "crowdsourced" review of TRs that are not in the index to be indexed, as well as flagging ones that are not correct. Along the same lines, I'm thinking about a rudimentary nomination process for "hidden gems" that can be listed somewhere. I'm not a fan of rating TRs, but nominating hidden gems seems appropriate.

What's fucking ironical is that this site wouldn't exist if it weren't for a frat.

Gene, it has nothing to do with PC. How can after 11 years anyone accuse of being PC. Get real. What we take issue with is when a first time poster comes here to post their blog, creates a bunch of attention for themselves, when it's clear they have no intention of making positive contributions to this site. We've been down that road plenty of times, and it never works out to our, as in the contributors of this site, benefit.

Our host had another big outage. It's time for us to move on.

I need to round up all 5 republicans on this site, with their guns, and drive down to Cali to shoot our webhost.

Yeah, I think things are much better. I just did a stress test and it handled it pretty good, no downtime.

I'll look into adding by year into the current TR system as well as the map based system, it shouldn't be hard at all.

You can now right click to add a peak or area. This will have a moderated approval process.

Yes.

What I plan on doing is having check boxes for each month, with select all clear all option. Choosing a range between Nov and Feb with two sliders would be confusing.

We have some plans for that, notify people of broken image links that need fixing, adding some more appropriate metadata like route and rating that we can index as well.

Eventually there will be that ability, both to add TRs to the index and report those that are misplaced. Again, the biggest issue I have discovered is that there are a number of peaks named "short, west, north" that when striped of "peak, mt., etc" hit a bunch of TRs. I think the solution to this is to limit the number of peaks that I use from the USGS data, say only those above 7k ft.

Actually there only to be a total of about 70 Toof TRs from what I can tell. What I actually find so cool is there are some pretty obscure TRs that I think most people would not know existed unless they say them displayed on a map.

I've got Oregon, Cali, and Alaska peak data now. Still working on data for BC. And the most TR award goes to..... COUNT( * ) name 279 Mount Hood 249 Mount Rainier 172 Mount Stuart
