pink Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 I can vouch for the rope thing. No way JH stole dude's rope. He'd be way more likely to give you a rope. If he removed it for some reason, I'm sure he would give it back with an explanation about why he removed it. joseph is insane! and ur a lawyer.... just sayin Quote
pink Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 ...feeling undeniably glum that this Tragedy with Undertones of Tradition is once again setting in... I'm requesting that the seasonal onset of Bitching About Beacon not occur this year, or I'll be making some deletions. Its not a positive or acceptable use of this forum. strange, i seem to recall the forum was created more or less specifically to contain the bitching and keep it out of all the other honest, god-fearing forums everyone is too busy climbing "stone soup" seriously? who would have time tooooooooo even bitch. posting ur favorite porn site would have prly been more effective mister and yes i'm beating a dead horse, that's how i roll eric http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/topic/79178 Quote
denalidave Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Seems Boner and JH do most the bitching. We all know Boner likes to stir the pot. We also know it's easy to get JH riled up. Thus the vicious cycle continues... Quote

Nice views and purrdy darn quiet. The 16' steel sign that leaning o'er 2O degrees, held like a giant ax ready to fall on you as you ride past, on the 205 crossing was the sketchiest shit of the day. Felt like a Mario Cart track for sure. As fer schoolin, I thought I'd be a lot to get caught up from missing Tuesday. I got most all that done today and have aaaaaaaaaall day tomorrow to size conductors and figure out out to program an arduino to run a relay board and make I-V curves for me. 12+ hours today and still going... :tightens noose: Quote

Thus the vicious cycle continues... I'm not riled up, just amazed to see 'Beacon climbers' bothering to go to the trouble of putting together a proposal for a partial close and then deliver it to entirely the wrong people. The point is, doing stuff like talking with a wholly unsympathetic Audubon and making proposals to the wrong people just serves to highlight and underscore a continued unwillingness to get real about the closure. And at what point is it all just willful, wishful, and deliberate ignorance? If the AF operated in a similar 'the-world-is-the-way-we-want-it-to-be-dammit' bubble of denial like this they would never have recovered or protected a single climbing area in their entire history. Sure, on the surface it's all a pretty straightforward proposition - just convince the WDFW they should partially or fully lift the closure. Under the hood it's a entirely a different story; you (and they) have to justify any change in some legitimate manner which addresses the various biological, legal, policy, management, resource, and enforcement constraints associated with any change in the closure's status. And that's just within the WDFW; there are a lot of other stakeholders, like Audubon, who would be involved (more like pile on) in the requisite public comment period that would precede any official move to change or lift the closure. The bottom line is that spending year after year wallowing in a lament of fervent belief the 'true' answer lies in finding and convincing the 'right' people just how cruel an injustice it all is may be a great bonding, feel-good activity in an ass-grabbing, pass-the-bong, lets-all-howl-at-the-moon, drum-circle sort of way, but it's an entirely counterproductive approach to dealing with the closure. And in the end it just ushers generation after generation of new kids who don't know any better into a [personality] cult of collective victimhood. I know that's harsh and you hate hearing it, but sorry, that's exactly what's been going on out there for way, way too long now. And, hey, you can be out there all the time, become a social media or TV celebrity, and sleep with people in high places, but in the end it doesn't mean squat to the WDFW or WA / Federal law. And after years of relentless whining and bitching - particularly when resources like Kevbone's wife, Brian, and Geoff who are all attorneys are available to get real answers one way or the other (not to mention Kenny who for god's fucking sake works for the very agency imposing the closure) - it all gets oppressively tiring. You know, how did Kevin put it? A real downer and wet blanket over the whole friggin' place. Maybe it's finally time to instead consider either getting real or moving on and just letting it go (or not I suppose). But then of course, what the fuck, I'm just the crazy one. Right on dudes and c'est la fuckin' vie - works for me any day of week - better crazy than a perpetually clueless victim. Quote

kevbone Posted March 1, 2012 Author Posted March 1, 2012 Amazing shot. Glad I was there to see it live.......what a night to remember. To all those who dont understand this photo. Dave is rapping down to a ledge that is about 500 feet up where there is a serious party going on. That flash on the right side of the shot is me snapping a shot of you rapping. Quote

Dave is rapping down to a ledge (with some climber babes) that is about 500 feet up where there is a serious party going on. That flash on the right side of the shot is me snapping a shot of you rapping. 7pm ish - Hey Jim, I'm gonna run to PDX, pick up some girls, be back later tonight." Jim "He's so full of shit." Come to find out, one of the gals told us she had done some climbing before but turns out she had zero experience. She did just fine though. Good times. Quote
