What is that, Off? The Skullcap-Bandito belay? Lots of bandanas employed there...

why do canadians do it doogie-style? so they can both watch the hockey game, eh? Same joke I was making with the coaster tatoo and NASCAR races above.

That's rich! I guess it's so he knows where to set his beer when he's watching NASCAR races...

I've never understood why a woman would tatoo her ass with a scripture passage. I mean, is that s'posed to be for my reading enjoyment while I'm doing something with her that I probably shouldn't be doing??? Jus' sayin'... What if it's your wife? Just askin...... My wife doesn't have any tatoos. One of many reasons I married her. Just sayin...

Dammit Keith, it was that MLB that you left next to the jug. That rock homed right in on it. Don't you know that you're only s'posed to use MLBs on the Mountain of Doom?? Yeesh!

Cats are game meat? Didn't know that... Note to self: Open season on pussy!

I don't think so, which is a shame. Pretty cool venue. Since moving to the Oklahoma Dustbowl of Washington four years ago, it's not worth the trip anymore just to go bouldering. Before the move, I went there several times and never saw anyone else.

Well, I have no white spots under my arms like that L00zr does.

might have more luck in the Lost and Found Forum.

I don't need to list the litany of accidents and falls that I've survived, plus of the people that I've caught, and even those that I've carried out to the ambulance, to justify my wearing of a helmet on everything except TRs. I'm from the old skewl that didn't wear helmets 25 years ago. But it took one really fucked up ride down with a column at Vantage to change that outlook. Anyone who's been around this board long enough will know of that scary day at Vantage ~20 years ago, and Dane's big whipper last year. Not wearing a helmet is just plain dumb. There's NO excuse not to, IMHO. ETA: Regarding the emphasized statement above, I went back through some old climbing pics and noticed that I still refused to wear a helmet on multi-pitch routes for several years after that fateful column ride at Frnechman's. Apparently, something else must have ultimately triggered the survival instinct that caused me to don the brain bucket religiously. However, I did notice that every waterfall ice and volcano slog pic had me bedecked in a helmet.

Now that's just too PhöQing funny.

Just get ye to The Caldera. The veil will be removed from thine eyes.

I was mentored by Keith Caradine, so I am wholly superior to you, Grasshopper.

Don't get too complacent, Brian. I'm up and coming...

Very nice documentary. The slideshow froze up on me at 2:22 left to go. Had to scroll through one by one after that. Is it just my computer, or did I not give it enough time to fully load up?

nohm nohm nohm...

Typically, I just throw it away after I clean up an anchor. Didn't know you were supposed to keep it...

That boulder is situated in an overused parking lot just west of the truss bridge at a bend in the river that most of the whitewater rafting outfits that ply the river in September use as their take-out. The rock does indeed have a couple of bolts on top, installed several years ago by unknown parties (could have been climbers, could have been climbers employed by the rafting outfits). The graffiti (paint) makes the holds very slippery and tenuous, except for the simplest of routes. There's really nothing special about that boulder, what with its adornment of graffiti, and the parking lot is trashed out with broken bottles, used diapers, etc. If you are really interested in a bouldering experience in the Tieton, then you should take the Wildcat Road up to Road 1362 and head up into The Caldera area. Way cool boulders, neat sub-alpine surroundings, and very private up there.

Redhook ESB #4. Gonna submit the timesheet and hit the road here in a minute, tho... Got Moose Drools at home...

My momma always tol' me them thar thangs had teeth!

With lack of ink, you do not qualify for trampdom.

I remember reading about this here when it happened. So good to here of a near-perfect recovery. Good on ya, Sam! And to Pax and Dave, and the park wardens rescue team.

Just don't eat the big white mint...
