email drul, he is the man for da great white norf.

bone, the trad klan does not endorse any public gathering or drinking.......though some of us might be in attendance watch for the secret handshake and i believe that all can come, unless of course you still have that no contact order against caveman.

you know, i have never seen my mother pee and i have no desire ever too...wether she be old or young....matter of fact i don't want to see anyone peeing. if you can't hold it long enough to find a seculded spot then, you might have a medical problem.....and if you have a gun in the backcountry then that means you have two problems. if repmes to des fee fo fi yo mo fo

"when in doubt run it out!" thats what i have been programmed with. for tow reasons trying to fiddle in gear that isn't there waste time and energy. putting in gear when it is not needed creates rope drag/inefficeny putting in gear where you don't need it, creates you out of gear you might need higher up. so in essence don't bolt it ever.....just sack it up....most the times in the mtns you can find somthing, but obviously if you have been wasting time looking for it you probably could have moved higher up and more options......just an opinion.

drul, went back and checked route description...... i htink your error lies within the name of the route....it is listed as "Ramp-Page". not rampage. does this mean some of our local legends lurk here! oh my josh! we have validity again!

ed, tons of bear boxes, the ones in the orchard parking lot iof curry is a good place, i still have one done there. got a report on it the other day. van camping is no no unless you are in the pines car camping area and that is like $20 or something

ed, i have spent some time there, and rule #1 avoid the tool. things like poaching, theft and begging only make the issue worse. these are the things that the park anger feeds on. sure they happen and are of yosemite lore....but remember yosemite is a police state. so becareful.

yes, it is makes me sad

let's get away from the stupid bolting thing now! i was talking to some friends last night whom just back from the valley and they were climbing mescalito and watched the the people ground fall off of the d.n.b of middle cathedral. a very sad incident to say the least. from what i have gathered, since a couple of these bro's particapate in yosar, is that the leader took a near factor 2 fall onto the ancher and all 4 pieces ripped from the rock......the first thing that came to mind is that why did he not protect the belay, i have always receited this mantra in my head with traditional leads. though we will never know what took place before the accident, i can only speculate. which i won't around here! but if all just remeber to protect the belay as we move up from it, then maybe we all can avoid another tragic blow to our community.

get them!

bitter....bitter....bitter..... bone get off it, i'll still give you the tr belay on the t.f. but you ain't comin over to party...... plastic fumes make me noxious! wil, email and you can go with me and bronco when we go to index next week! hear that bronco!

bravo!!!! beer for all!

bone, i was talkin to caveman and he said your old lady said that you had the lite & fast stuff wired, more like it was a medical condition. but then again i am getting this 3rd hand. so i won't sat too much! and i don't do can-yucks, i don't have the shots to deal with their local diseases, like socialism!

specialed + lambone = specialbone.

tom brown! now bone i never knew you were so verused in the out-of-doors! did you know john j at msu, he lived out at the "ranch". then again i would have to say half of brown's stuff is of peyote fantasy.....but in the end his message is clear, you fuck with the earth she will come back and get you!

well bone, never heard any of the trad klaner's support jardine. just puttin up some comments. then again he pushed the limits just like your french super boulderer's, chip..chip..... and i even heard that your boyhood hero krista sharma just sent his biographie into to be published calling it .15a......i can feel the strength flowing into my body.......

you know what some really bad rock is, that shit they call punk now-a-days....blink 182 you gotta be kidding me. limp-biscuit and almost anything you hear on the radio, now that is some bad rock! i finally figured out why most of those songs are so short, their talent doesn't go much further. good rock.....i won't even start [This message has been edited by erik (edited 07-18-2001).] [This message has been edited by erik (edited 07-18-2001).]

jules, step forth and make the date and time and give addres/directions. everyone needs to be a catalyst with this thing, there should be no one person.

don't know what you are talking about!? but check out homeboy's page and i bet it will reaffirm his uniqueness http://www.rayjardine.com/index.shtml

bone, is that you tick marking the shit out of thin fingers....fuck bro, the friggin slab is greasy as shit from all your attempts.....if you want i can email you a beta diagram that you can memerize and hopefully recreate in your plywood heaven. you mihgt have to invert some of your walls to get the slab effect.....practice practice practice and layoff the dougnuts...

Subject: Risks of Rock Climbing Since the subject of relative risks in climbing has come up, I thought these numbers might be of interest: Involuntary Risks: Risk of death/person-year ------------------------------------------------------------- Struck by automobile (USA) 1 in 20,000 Struck by automobile (UK) 1 in 16,600 Lightning (UK) 1 in 10 million Influenza 1 in 5000 Voluntary Risks: Deaths/person-year (odds) ------------------------------------------------------------- Smoking, 20 cigs/day 1 in 200 Motorcycling 1 in 50 Automobile driving 1 in 5,900 Rock climbing 1 in 7,150 Skiing 1 in 1,430,000 Canoeing 1 in 100,000 Pregnancy (UK) 1 in 4,350 So, overall rock-climbing is less likely to kill you than being pregnant! And apparently one is more likely to die of influenza than from rock-climbing. It also appears to be the case that in the UK driving an automobile is more risky than rock-climbing overall. The source for this information is Dinman B.D. The Reality and Acceptance of Risk. JAMA 244:1226. 1980.

beck, i will see you at the parkway next tuesday. guaranteed! and i'llbring a drink buddy so we can look cool!
