Winter

There, now I feel better.

Haha! Shit, my anonymous foul mouthed cyber persona has been busted.

Look, people can always drive a mile up the road and camp in a private spot if they don't want to deal with the crowds, which is what I often do. I honestly think its unrealistic to expect 10 pm quite hours in the grasslands unless its run by a camp host and that aint what we all want. Last year, the locals pulled up to our private site, gunned the engine on the jacked up 4x4 tuck and yelled "WE'RE FROM PRINEVILLE AND YOU'RE NOT!!"

After a three month climbing trip, work stinks. Long trips seem to inspire both depression and a drive to maintain my conditioning. Both seem to fade some over time. How do you stomp the blues and keep up the drive?! Anyone want to pay me to be a full time average climber?

Drive By Truckers John Brown's Body (sweet reggage) Spearhead and Michael Franti All these bands play in PDX in the next month and all are worth seeing.

Hey hey. The honeymoon is over, and I'm back fighting to find time for a weekend at Smith. Too bad I won't have any thing weekend. The little missus, however, wants to find a ride down to Smith, hopefully Friday afternoon so we can climb at Beacon in the morning. Anyone interested in a car mate? Let me know.

Deleted by dumb ass.

I think its near some school in Renton.

Personally, I don't think this proposal has legs. Obviously this is a sensitive cultural issue. The common misconception that tribes have complete authority and sovreignty over their reservation isn't true. There's a lot more to it than that. There will be A LOT of issues related to federal and state oversight of on reservation activities. I predict a long, hard fought battle if Meadows wants to push this forward. Ski in Ski out Casinos!

Rob, I've got the i960 from Canon which has been good so far. Not that $$. 6 color cartridges.

Good work fellas! Glad to hear you all had a good one.

Hah Hah!! I just saw that on a van in Penticton. Or was it Kelowna? Or Maybe Salmon Arm?

God Loves You But Everyone Else Thinks You're an Asshole

Climb: Yak Crack- Date of Climb: 8/9/2004 Trip Report: Jeff Alzner and I climbed Yak Crack yesterday after running all over BC over the last week looking for good weather. He picked me up in Seattle on August 3rd and the weather gods promptly unloaded on us. We tried to get Yak on the 5th, but it was pooring up at Falls Lake. We ended up driving east to Skaha and got in a day climbing in the rain on the Doctors Wall. It still looked shitty so we drove all the way back to Squish to get the sunny weather. We finally got some decent climbing in with St Vitus the day before yesterday and then drove back to Yak Peak. Ugghh. We had perfect weather but got off route at the end. After a scary 25 ft. traverse where we thought the route went down and around we ended up in vertical granola. Alzer put his years of Oregon climbing to work and led up the 5.7 and 5.8 choss. We topped out and enjoyed the solitude of having an entire mountain to ourselves. Prolly should have done Yak Check, but we were working of Kearney's book. A great capper to a solid week. Approach Notes: There's a big cairn on the side of the highway where the trail starts.

The Portland climber is my old boss and a good friend. I'm very glad he is alive. I wish him and his family the best. It sounds like a very scary event. He's a strong man, and I know he'll push on.

Wow, you guys are freaks. I didn't state any opinion on anything. Just putting some facts out there for the discussion. Obviously facts are pretty scary for you folks.
