Colored electrical tape. It's worked for me for 25 years. Plus, there's way more color selection now than there was back then.

Coincidence??? Naaaaaaaaah, Honeybeebug's got green eyes. mmmmmmmmmm... green eyes...

Don't know whether or not it's considered famous, but the fixed wire just above the roof on Render US Weightless at Royal Columns has seen a few of my biners clipped through it from time to time.

No, she isn't. Yes, she is. No, she isn't. Yes, she is. Look, this isn't an argument. You're just contradicting me. No, I'm not. Yes, you are. No, I'm not. ...

What's really crazy is that some bunch of fuhqs rated this guy's videos 4.32 out of 5! I can't believe this shite!

Heisenberg said so. I'm certain of it.

When I was in engineering school, I thought I studied efficiently. It involved a calculus text and a 6-pack of cheap beer every night.

Your pic didn't seem to indicate the presence of much gristle. Besides, it'd be like chewing jerkey anyway. And I love jerkey!

Wow, that is truly sad. I, too, had heard along the way of his health problems. It might have been in Climbing or some other rag. I never thought it would have been MS. I have to wonder about this quote, though: That would truly take a really long time to accomplish any route. I think the reporter's a little off on that one...

You get outside far too damn much for a college student. WTF are you studying, anyway?

Shin: the other white meat.

That is really sweet! Fabulous, in fact! You're a Jedi Master, Sherri.

That's some mighty fine work there, Mel. But I still want to see the blood. Your next book: Epics in Woodworking!

I trust you stayed out of the closed area, kevin.

Where the hell do you get those avatar pics??? Spill it!

But the benefit is you need only wait for a downpour. Then you don't have to "pack it out."

I see. I did not look at it that way. You are clearly well-versed in this lore.

That was pretty cool. The head-cam shot was the best!

How so? Please to explain your logic.

That works just great if you're a 5.11 climber, which I am no longer. Neither do I believe minx is, since she said "moderate" in the OP. So your big tip is not helpful. Work on your reading comprehension, and thanks for playing our game.

Admit it, Porter. You wrote that, didncha?

CROSS-POSTED TO ACCESS ISSUES FORUM I just had another pleasant conversation with John McGowan, the manager of the Oak Creek Wildlife Area, across the street from Royal Columns. The annual eagle nesting closure went into effect on February 1, and is in effect now for the reach of the Tieton River Trail from the Tim Pond Wall to the west (upstream) end of The Bend. This closure includes all points uphill of the trail, not just the trail itself. So that there is no confusion, that means the cliffs are closed to climbing. The closure will be in effect until about April 1, at which time the closure will be limited to a 300-yard-radius around any active nest(s). Normally, this will allow most of the trail to be opened and access to certain cliffs or parts thereof. It has been John’s experience that the eagles are migrating upstream a little further each year. In recent years, the upstream limit of the trail closure would terminate at the metal suspension bridge used to access The Bend. You could go right (upstream) to Moon Rocks, but the trail was closed to the left. So the upshot is if you want to climb in the Tieton River Canyon, go upstream of The Bend. You can start your climbing at Moon Rocks or further upstream and you’ll be all good. And if you see any eagles or falcons up the canyon, be a good steward of wildlife and call John at 509-653-2390 and let him know. Remember, we can all get along!
