What a gorgeous mountain Goode is. i wanna be there RIGHT NOW! Have all the various ribs (esp the last one on the right before the hanging glacier) been climbed?

Totally!!!!!!! I call it uber alpine hyper-stumble-wallowing

rappel grappel is the descent for the beckey route. climb the beckey route and then do it...or if you wanna be all about that route, it's just before the col b/t the two spires. the burgundy paisano is totaly realistic for a day trip, just start a little earlier, which even if you weren't going for it is a much better idea than sloggin up Burgundy col in the heat of the day (ugggggh!) it should take 2-4 hours to get to the base

In my opinion, always opt for the least invasive thing possible...bodies don't react well to invasive surgery. Leveling the tibial plateau sounds pretty damn harsh, don't you think it would cause osteoarthritis later on? Also, what do they do with the meniscus that's attached to the tibia. do they remove it, shave down the tibia, and reattach the meniscus? all that vs. something that is routinely done? sounds like they're using dogs as guiny pigs on a new surgery for humans. and "CCL" what colateral is that? do you mean LCL or MCL? if so those aren't that deep so the surgery wouldn't be that complicated. what were the potential drawbacks for the "CCL??" surgery, you didn't list any.

snow lakes is WAY WAY WAY more mellow, although Assgard is pretty scenic. if ya can swing it, snow lakes in, assgard out. the TH aren't very far apart, so hitchin' a ride should be EZ.

so is the new star wars any good?

would you be able to archive this site if you switched...i.e. would all the spray be gone forever?

you all fucking suck and if i ever see any of you i'll pull your balls off, shove them up your ass, so that the next time you take a shit, you'll shit on your balls.

if you do choose the go up above the off-route bolted anchor, you'll score some nice RP's althogh you'd be pretty fucked if ya did

after re-reading what i typed, i still can't see how you guys think i concidered your adventure boring or crowded. i just never figured i'd bother going up there for just a few pitches. shheeeesh.

don't get sucker up to the bolt anchors up left after the 4th pitch (past the 10/5.9 roof)...trend right.

That's pretty cool! Nice goin, looks like y'all had some fun. 5.11 A0...that;s skills. glad you didn't get stabbed, you must have some flippin sweet reflexes. i'm curious about the 8 pitches. how tall is the route? i always thought that the Mole was like 3 pitches. maybe i need to take it off the do'nt bother list! gracias

If you were going slow i'd pass you RuMR, but you're probably faster than me so it wouldn't happen.

oh, i'm not talking about shorter easier routes. like dark shadows in redrock for instance. you'd have to be a total a-hole to pass someone on that.

no, i'm gonna pass regardless. so better not make it look like a democratic process

yup WI4

Please argue to no ends on this subject. My ethics: 1st don't ask, just tell them what you're about to do and how you're going to do it. Be very nice about it, but do it regardless. Only do this if it's isn't a danger to them, however (loose rocks or ice above). This is the only way to go. Otherwise your on their ass the entire time and making crowded belays which suck for both parties. If you are indeed fast enough to pass them, then their wait time should be minimal and definately step up the pace for the next two pitches to make sure you get well ahead. Don't ask, b/c that saves you the awkwardness when they say no you can't pass and you go ahead and do it anyway.

March Maddness WI4, 1-2 pitches

Necro Sez, "what, me worry?" Bring Back NECRO!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey TIM!!!!

yup

and don't use a q-tip to clean it. use the corner of a warm soapy washcloth. you may wanna get your ear clean out later.
