I have to agree with Dru. I thought polo shirts went out with Members Only jackets.

Kudos DFA. Erik--you ever see Andrews pictures from Space? The exposure looked absolutely sick.

Its Rob. I'm gonna be out of town for a while and am sorry I will be missing Andrew. If you see him tell him I'm still expecting him to drag my ass up a wall. He owes me for all those pins I scored him. Get his email address for me if you can.

They'd assess a fee for sure.

I have no problem paying for what I use but as long as I am also paying for what Weyerhauser, the American Beef Council, Exxon, et al, use then I will not pay extra fees. This is in fact what its all about: paying EXTRA fees for using land that has been set aside for public use. Resource industries are subsidized with our tax dollars. I did not buy a permit when I went into Mt. Stuart last weekend and had a sign hanging on my mirror saying I was not recreating but rather engaging in spiritual development. No ticket. And I was parked there three days.

He was for fixed anchors if the visual impact was low. Our discussion was more oriented to the fact that someone keeps taking chains off the rap stations and that webbing accumulates over the year leaving a bit of an eyesore. He's also concerned someones going to get hurt when webbing fails or that fights will occur over chain removal. In general he seemed to be ok with the bolting ethic at Beacon, i.e. fixed anchors but no bolted cracks.

TG and I had a conversation about fixed anchors at Beacon Rock with the park Ranger. I seem to recall many many discussions with the Forest Service, BLM, etc about fixed anchors in the wilderness. I'm not sure why Matt thinks its not a big deal (forgive me if I misunderstood you Matt) with land managers because I would argue it most certainly is. Not with the same passion and hyperbole as climbers but its there nonetheless.

I agree with Dru. Its a fun link-up with Liberty Bell and worthy of the amount of time it takes. We ended up making a couple of false starts so check it out as you rap down Overexposure.

Is that the crew from Montel Williams or that glam metal band Motley Crew with a new look?

Actually, a cartoonist was the subject of a secret service investigation for drawing a picture of bush being shot so I am not so sure they would take DFA's comment idly. I'm not defending adamsons actions either though. Their both 'tards. DFA likes goading adamson with ridiculous vitriole and adamson likes measuring his dick in front of everyone. This is spray right?

yup--put out an album

Sorry about that--pm or email me and I will send.

Here is a pic if anyone wants to see it.

Anyone got a link to the picture of the wahhmbulance? I searched to no avail. I want to send it to a hood to coast rival.

Free for All Free for Some Young Warriors Jills Thrill I cant remember them all.

Serenita is good. And cheap. The joints not pretentious but the crowd may be. I felt like I was not hip enough.

I was in serenita last thursday and no alcohol was in sight. Watch those jalapenos. I was crying like a baby the next morning.

What are those portland recommendations?

Got my custom bivy made of epic fabric last week and used it on Mt. Stuart. Or more accurately, at Ingalls Creek. The one I got has a hoop that can be used which is similar to the Bibler Bipod bivy but lighter. A number of you expressed some interest. If you are still interested let me know and I can bring it to the Butte or the pub and let you paw over it. I'd like to get some feedback on the design as well as see if you want to order one. I'll post a picture later. Rob

I have a pair of BMW bookshelf speakers I love. I'm not an audio wonk though. I also have a pair of Bose 301's I like.

My partner Larry and I did the N. Ridge on Sunday using a 60m half rope that we doubled up. Originally the idea was to just use it as a single strand but the rope drag was heinous and slowed us down considerably. So we doubled it and it made for really nice, comfy simulclimbing. We had none of the rope management problems that Fleb noted above. As a matter of fact, I would recommend this method. I will second the recommendation for crampons on the traverse. Although not absolutely necessary if you're wearing heavy boots (I was wearing la sprotiva approach shoes) that you can kick steps in, you'll feel one hell of a lot more comfortable with crampons. For a rack we brought 4 cams (green camelot, black metolius, purple metolius and #4 camalot), a rack of hexes and a rack of stoppers. We never used all of our gear. We were moving slow so bypassed the gendarme which in hindsight might have actually been faster. Bugs weren't bad down by Ingalls Creek nor anywhere on the route. They were heinous at Longs Pass and the trail ascending it. Fuckers were divebombing my eyeballs.

Thats why I wrote FIRST EDITION. Let me know if you cant find a copy and I can loan you mine.

It has to be posted if its public land and closed to public access
