I used that for an avatar pic and got a nasty-gram from Lambone. I hoisted it from my trailer park Some people have no sense of humor. Dwayner

I believe there is more than one route up Castle Crag. Monsieur Wallace did indeed develop at least one of those routes and yes its loose but not anything outside of the ordinary Oregon choss. I haven't climbed it but have monkeyed around a bit on the lower reaches. Bring a change of underwear and a helmet. I have aspirations to do this route in winter conditions.

Bring it with you to the pub and you might find some buyers. Myself is one.

Was that red metolius still fixed? I almost had to bail from it as I was pumped.

I couldn't agree more with this! The bike ride was a nice finish. I'm no bold climber at all and I felt the set of hexes and stoppers I had was excessive. There's so much fixed gear on that route--especially the second pitch--that you could leave the pro at home. Especially no need to nail. YMMV of course but thats a lot of weight to lug up that thing. When we went up in Oct of 99 the gully was almost snow free.

Pretty nice photos fellas. You encountered a lot less snow than we did when we were up there about 3 weeks ago. Lot of work for 2 pitches of 5.4 but spectacular scenery. When I tried it in octover of 99 we got all the way to the base of the rock and it started snowing. We were wearing shorts and t-shirts. We bailed off the west side thinking we could avoid that talus slog. Oh how wrong we were. Thanks for posting!

I'm with the lawgoddess. I dropped the coin for a pair of mammut schoeller pants and I love them. I almost never wear my bibs anymore. They shed water just dandy, dry quickly, are comfy, wind-resistant and are pimp.

Superman needs a permit?

Good job Chris. Glad to see you are back. Dro pme a line and lets get a beer.

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.
