Man this must have been hard to put down in writing. Love to you, your family, and Ian.

You’re teaching the youth to feed his rat! Great photos as always. Thank you Jason.

Old mining cabin. Great TR/pics!

Probably comes down to how much you value quantity over quality or vice versa.

No worries dude!

stopped by and checked out the new location today, very nice. Good to see Jason and Tom, and the guy working the counter I’m embarrassed but I can’t remember your name but you too were also nice to run into. Thanks for your time! dont forget American Alpine Institute is keeping this place going with their sponsorship. If you or someone you know wants a guide or even just to learn or brush on on skills, give AAI a call.

Reading this book, and chapter 3 is great. I highly recommend. Great advice for ensnaring a climbing partner too for an adventure.

My parents have a couple of those ones with the rubber. in all seriousness, that is a terrible story.

Damn.

You know he looked pretty familiar! But there were a number of people I met but forgot because it was Ropeup and we were all having a good time.

Glad to hear about the boners.

Yes

Aside from just the history and information on this site. I’ve worked to keep this site on because it is not driven by algorithms you mention. This is a community for people to connect over a common interest, and refuge from the mind-control apparatus that social media has become. No AI, or at least we try to clean it…you never know these days. This place is an alternative to all that in my eyes. Hopefully we can keep it that way. We need some whippersnappers who understand all this and can take the reins someday. as for spray I’ve had a lot of fun here. There have been some really funny people come through here. It hadn’t been all good, but what you’d expect for a free for all. I miss some (most)of the people, others not so much. In the battle for attention this site will lose against the current psych-ops enterprises. But who knows what the future holds or which way the wind will blow next. get off my lawn.

Maybe just go do stuff without training. Then the injuries are easier to talk about at cocktail parties.
