Thanks.

Hey Rick, it's too hot to walk out of the Valley. Can you come pick me up?
Ticking is gym climbing outdoors.

After me, marathon boy! :evil:
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Well, that pretty much beats any other approach hands down. 8)

Oh yeah, if Liz is driving hold on tight - she firmly believes that the throttle is an on/off switch!!!! :lol:

Thanks to all.

Nothing better than being able to make an informed decision.

Oh, now that I think of it, hte Zoo is not as flat as I first thought. Try Funk Rock, the creek is short enough to step over.

While we're on the subject of approaches...

Obviously the webbing on the rock ramp at the end of Global Village's approach has been stolen, cut off, removed, whatever... What the Freak? Does no one want these climbs to be climbed or what?

I stole the webbing from the Global approach. I needed to replace some slings so I could get back into sport climbing.

Geez man! You're going CLIMBING! Why do you need A0 on the approach?

And if all you people wouldn't have gone out there all these years there would still be really helpful roots to climb up and you wouldn't need the webbing anyway.

And if that darn Scott Hammon hadn't rerouted the trail you could still walk across the really cool log across the ravine. Unless it finally collapsed.

BUT WHERE IS YOUR FREAKIN' SENSE OF ADVENTURE?!

Hey Ascentionist;

Aside from you stealing the webbing, I had a good laugh about what you said. Yeah, I am going climbing after all and I shouldn't be so concerned. I just was ticked off.

Anyway, enjoy sport, and maybe for kharma's sake you could replace the webbing. It is helpful after all.
