Man, somebody needs to turn off that word thing. You can't say "h*ack" or... now I forgot the word that makes SCIN repellant.
I had a garter snake for a pet once. It would usually bite you if you messed with it but it didn't have the teeth or jaw strength to really do anything so it was mostly just funny to watch once you knew it would do it. It never got very tame, though, so I let it go in the garden. I don't have a field guide to reptiles, unfortunately. I'd like to see a ring snake. There are some wicked salamanders in the Gorge. Has anyone ever run into any of these on the "ickier" routes?
I was climbing a route once and a wolf spider came out of a hold and attacked my fingers. Surprised the shit out of me but was immediately funny as I could barely feel it (and it was a BIG wolf spider) and I could see the fangs utterly failing to break my skin. I think it went after the person after me as well. I would imagine that was one dead spider when it met the next group.
Funny, as I wrote the above one of my pet jumping spiders (I call them pets but basically I just don't kill them) decided to leisurely walk across the wall and onto the window. I wonder what it's been living on all winter.

Oh.... so s*pider...
Ray, you're afraid of s*piders?!? I didn't realize you were a pussy. Here I thought you were a bad ass crack climbing MOFO but you're just a squealing little girlieman?!? Damn, dude. Why you do that to yourself?

Yeah, it looks like the west face of the north peak. The color looks a little bit too yellow to be Seneca, but that wide layback crack sure does look a lot like "Madmen Only". I'd never noticed the face before. That's pretty cool.
