Not since it first came out. My recollection of it is hazy at best.

well done. of course, the sad part is that there was a part two (40 points) and an essay (20 points) that you missed.
And wait, you've been in school for what, three weeks? That's a mid-term?

There is a 78% chance she'll pop out a kid on stage, and Donny can wrap it in a swaddling technicolor dreamcoat. so, you've seen them perform No. I am still self counciling from overhearing my parents watch their variety show in the 70's. i'm a little bit country............and i'm a little bit rock and roll just shoot me in the face

It's going to get 3-4 bolts next week, but it's got three distinct cruxes from .10a - .10b/c and climbs incredibly fun. One more cleaning needed, probably Thursday. I'm thinking of calling it "Edge's Swan Song". Are you going to be able to finish it? The schedule will be tight, but I think so. I will be borrowing a drill on Tuesday; should be able to pop in 3-4 bolts and do a final scrubbing that night. I am thinking that the multiple cruxes are strenuous enough that I won't have it in me following the bolting, so that will leave Wed - Fri to send. I can hike the first two .10a cruxes, and the second one may only be .9+ after the next scrub. There is still one move on the third crux I can't get, I'm thinking .10b/c when I am fresh, but could very easily be .11. Long reach to a slopey ledge, then left foot way out left to a hold at hip height and press up over it off of the slopey ledge. My shoulder is still a bit tweaked, so that will be the big determining factor. From the LH foothold you get a high right foot on the slopey ledge and use a marble sized crystal to pull your weight over that and stand up. The climbing is so good we think it will be an instant classic, so we ran a TR lap to determine the best spot for the bolts. I wouldn't have enough time to project it as a R/X trad lead, and if I did no one would get on it, so we opted to make it a mixed trad (bomber cams) and bolt route.* This way (waxing philosophical here) it will be a testament in stone for future generations. I bled all over it on the TR run, so the alternate name may be "Bloody Violins" since it is next door to "Gentle Violence" 5.11+ which I still haven't sent; I am so very close though. *NA shits pants in despair. I wouldn't worry about adding bolts. There's a strong tradition to adding appropriate bolts in NH. As long as you're not Rumneyating it I don't think there'll be much objection. The thing I worry about is if the Rumney crowd gets to it. Nah, there's also a strong tradition in NH about respecting the ethics of the individual crags. We have already plucked the majority of independent lines, and 99% of the routes have good natural gear, the bolts are largely meant to augment and prevent the R ratings. There are a good number of those as well, but generally speaking the best routes get enough bolts to make them accessible to the masses. The new route is 150' long, so even if I go with the 4 bolts it's definitely not sport. What's the route on the west side of Whitehorse that has something like four bolts protecting a 90ft pitch...and that's it? There's a dike leading to a step left...can't remember. It's in between the standard slabs and inferno area.
One though goes at 2 bolts in 90+ feet. Crater Maker. Second bolt is at 40 foot, hence the name. I don't lead that one anymore.

Google ads are starting to get a little scary.
I get the Campmor and Hotels, been hitting their web sites, so they left their cookie crumbs behind.
But the Mt Spokane. I was reading about that in the Washington travel print magazine yesterday.

It's Spring. If its a 7 week course and you just had a midterm, in three and a half weeks it will still be Spring.
