we should all chip in and do a drop in the pickets.

So here's a shameless link to a partner request for the gnar gnar

just start walking towards the mountain and climb whatever is in front of you. that's what real men do.

Anyone want to check out Inspiration Rock to see if any routes are "in"? I bet some are a go! If not, then sloppy seconds at Broughton instead!

It's pretty good-sized, too; looks like about half the roped climbing area is beginner/intermediate terrain (no idea what the rest looks like, although rumour has it it's STEEP). They put in three crack routes, too, which do more than just go straight up. Yes. The cracks also go straight down! Ingenious. Hey DFA, where the hell were ya last night.

Yeah, that poor dog was scared shitless Maybe you shouldn'ta kicked the poor guy and moved his water dish out of reach, Necro?

The keg should stay cool in the shade. Bring your own tap.

I prefer to call it the "Modular Man" Now you can write your name in the snow with the rest of us

Yup! Looks like a Patagonia Lifestyles ad.

Told ya not to read them.

WARNING. DO NOT READ THESE if you are even the slightest bit offended by awful things. I didn't make them up, and am shocked and horrified that they are concidered humor. The only reason I post these is for historical significance and real life Mountain Guides told me them so they are climbing related. Seriously, some of these jokes will probably offend you and may be illegeal. the above special olympic joke was very offensive. it should have read. Q. What's better than winning a gold medal at the special olympics!!!? A.Not being retarded A pediphile and a little boy walk hand-in-hand into the woods near dusk.

Q:What's the best part about doing a twelve year old boy in the shower? A:Turning him around so he looks like a twelve year old girl.

What is the difference between Neil Armstrong and Michael Jackson? When is Michael Jackson's bedtime? -Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon, Michael Jackson has sex with little boys. -When the big hand touches the little hand

but they make damn fine boots! TLG, I would have figured you for having bigger feet

"losing you cool" was the wrong phrase...shoulda said, "out of character" (for a ranger). I would spray, but there seems to be a crackdown on chastising dumb questions these days. AND, I went up there just now and checked it. It's totally in, but pretty crowded.

Because there is a shitload of icefall compared to rock fall. Dogs do not belong ice climbing. also, if you climb below a party and you get hit by ANYTHING, it is ENTIRELY your fault. You are comprimizing(sp?) the safety of the party above by making them not bash as hard when they need too.

you know it was an "good" question when a park ranger loses his cool.

yeah, i watched them film some of that (Loony Tunes Movie) while the cop at the trailhead berated me on how shitty my cams looked and how we were lame for not toking up back in the canyon, and that we should have guns

how about following like a little bitch?

wonder if my antics last year helped in their decision making? they only used 2 choppers (and 2 media choppers) for being less than a day overdue. thats pretty reasonable.

who the idiot, the idiot who drives or the idiot who passively sits in the passenger seat?

This isn't Pilates, this is weight lifting. Pull down on the damn thing. The muscles you don't want to use are your legs, abs, back, and jaw-clenching muscles! You're not going to have a choice which muscles of your arm to use or not! If you want to avoid injury start slow, and add no more than 15% per week. Alternate pulling down behind your head every once and a while. Sometimes use a wide grip for those underused lower traps. Then do some dips or tripcep curls to balance it out. And stretch your arms and neck when done.

I used to like the Mahivishnu Orchestra, Chic Corea, and Weather Report. Now I think they suck. (weather report is the least suckiest). Mahivishnu Orchestra is really really grating.

I haven't slogged around hood and failed on it yet, so I don't know what type of conditions one needs for routes like Yoccum, Illumination Rock, TNF, and the Black Spider. Do they need quite a bit of snow already (is now too early-besides TNF...duh)? I just haven't had the chance to do the dirty work yet. Anyone planning on doing one of these routes this weekend?
