  1. Dwayner, Not that I like bouldering (cuz I suck at it), but you really should pay better attention to what you read. To wit (emphasis added): Lastly, Could not agree more. Buy a rope bag. And why the scene with the rope anyway, if he's going to go bouldering solo??

  3. Wonder Woman has superfun tits
  4. It's called Kids Rope-Up, it's held in the Icicle, and typically precedes the adult version of same. Check the Climber's Board and/or Events Forum. Closest thread I could come up with, although no date was ever proposed/firmed up.
  5. You forgot UBER DELISCH... how could you?
  6. ...The tether deployed Tuesday is .0196 inches thick and is made of Dyneema, which the ESA said is used by kite surfers. ...and climbers.
  7. Yah, but she changed the locks!
  8. Go away, son! Ya botha me!
  9. There is always a need for a permit to park there. The $66 ticket doesn't go away when hunting/fishing season does.
  10. Anything by Ken Burns is gonna be excellent. The guy just has a gift. Too bad our TV doesn't receive dish or cable, and we don't have rabbit ears (it's a young kids thing, ya know). I'll have to wait for the DVD release. I'm really looking forward to this series.
  11. Great piece. Caught it on the way home from work last night. For those not in the know, The Wall of a Thousand Pitons at Seneca Rocks, WV, was created by the 10th Mountain as part of their training prior to their shipping out to Europe in WWII.
  12. That's because the mission has been concluded. Not a lot of detail right now, but it was not the outcome that had been hoped for.
  13. Re: picture #3 - I see Holly is very quickly learning the fine art of the Climber's Air Hankie, with follow-up Back-of-the-Hand Nose Wipe. Right on, Jason, fer learnin' her them backcountry skilz ra-ight!
  14. List of pigs over 1000 pounds Ain't the Interwebs a wunnerful thing? All this "information" out there just waiting to be discovered...
  15. I just spoke with our (CWMR) man-on-the-scene who was up there yesterday with the IC. He said three Bell Jet Rangers were prowling the skies over Stuart, Sherpa, and Argonaut yesterday for about 30 total hours of airtime. Didn't find any sign of them. Still haven't found their campsite, either. Search continues.
  16. Lunger, OW gave you the righteous beta, fer sure. You don't need a permit if you park along the road. Look for the galvanized steel bike rack and park in that pull-out (for Royal Columns). It's free. Peeps are right about needing a Fish & Wildlife permit if you use the lots at RC, The Bend, Vantage, etc. If you go to The Bend, don't park in the lot where the Quonset hut is. It's a $66 ticket. Park in one of the several steep "driveways" on the opposite side of the highway from the hut. If you take OW up on his Option A for camping, you might run into scores of hunters camping out this time of year up there. It's the first bridge that crosses the Tieton River (more like a box culvert crossing => no superstructure), and will be the first bridge you come to after Windy Point CG. If you go around the sharp bend to the left and come to the second (brown) bridge, ya done gone too far. I don't hunt, but I think the season's on, or very near on. What this does is put hunter wannabes out there scoping the terrain/kill prospects for when the season does come in. But the camping's free. Alternatively, to avoid the extra driving, you can drive up the gravel road directly opposite Royal Columns (identified by the chain link fence and gate across it). It ends up in a short bit at a nice open meadow with chossy cliffs around it. You won't get locked in. At least, I've never heard of anyone ever getting locked in. Tons of good camping by following OW's Option B, too. Tons! Rattlers should be bedding down by now, what with the low temps at night/early morning up that way, but a curious pooch might manage to root one out if he works at it long enough... All bridges are in at RC, The Bend, and Moon Rocks. The Tyrolean is so last (5) years. Drederek is correctomundo about the trail. It's the Tieton Nature Trail. Well defined and would make for a good mtn. bike/trail run with the canine. See here.
  17. Hey, I finally got moderated! A complete deletion of post and attachment! I thought if I wrote "NSFW" in big red letters and left the pic in "attachment mode" ( so you'd have to click on it to open it), things would be OK, but apparently this is not so. I feel sooooo part of the club now.
  18. And ya hafta wonder WTF that kid was thinking when he saw that pig, and looked at the pistol in his hand... "Eee-yup, Ah think this'll do 'er jes fahn. If'n not, Ah kin shimmy up yonder tree and holler for Pa to bring the scattergun and some punkin' balls. We'll have bacon and pork chops 'til next year wuther Ah git 'im or Pa gits 'im."
  19. It IS a school-sponsored sport at VA Tech, ESPECIALLY during Engineer's Week! Hmmm you probably went to school in one of those sorry ass east coast schools where the drinking age has always been 21. At the UI we were legally in bars at 19 back in the day and all those sorry suckers from WSU were willing to risk DUI just to get a drink when all we had to do is walk to the booze. Hmmm... welllllllllll, when I was a senior in high school, the drinking age was still 18. It changed to 21 on New Year's Day of my graduation year, but I was legal for all of 6 weeks. Not that it mattered anyway... all the stores that I bought beer and cheap wine from still sold to me after the age changed anyway. But there were still kids that risked the DUI by driving the 60-mile round trip all the frickin' way to West By-Gawd Virgina where the age was still 18. Besides, my folks bought all the beer and good wine that I needed. They started me on a tad bit of red wine at dinner when I was ten years old. We were living in Italy at the time, and it seemed like the right thing to do. I still love a good glass of Sangiovese...
  20. Hey Steve, We got pinged last night for a rescue of a 53 yoa male and a teen, but the page said Mt. Stuart. Same folks, I reckon? I can't go, as my wife is in Oly for the w/e (taking a state licensing test) and I have the Tribal Members for the whole w/e. Good luck, my friend. Hope they are found safe and sound soon.
  21. Seriously, M, really scary! The cockroach is disgusting. And I thought they were big in Houston! Ha! And that rabbit! 23 pounds, and he sells 'em to N. Korea for meat? I can just see the ad: "Feeds a starving DPRK family of four for a week!"
  22. Those pics are just too damn precious! Took my two tribal members out to the Blues last w/e. No pics yet, but it was still pretty smoky from other E. WA fires, and the burn damage from last year's Columbia Complex fire makes a lot of the background look like the moon...
  23. It IS a school-sponsored sport at VA Tech, ESPECIALLY during Engineer's Week!
  24. Wellllllll, there both cow colleges... Vandals Rule. Don't piss me off Sobo I'm angry and I'm dumb Yah Kurt, I can read your autosig jus' fine.
