yep, the millipedes are toxic because Rick Weber got 2d or 3rd degree burns from one being in his shoe after a climb.
Bugs aside, if you don't know how to rappell off a climb or clean anchors don't climb anything at the red until you do. If you don't know, take a guide out or do some learning before you come. If you wanna practice, there is a place in Muir Valley to learn how to do exactly what you need.
Leave No Trace. Period.
Dog on leash. Period.
Don't do anything stupid, because you'll damage access for others who want to climb. Don't be proud and do stupid stuff cause your to scared to ask how stuff works around the Red. Got any questions, just ask. Most people are very friendly.

What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Re: No deet for this meat
Cool ... another excuse to add to my "Why I suck" list. Except I rarely use the stuff.environmentalhealth.ca wrote:The most serious concerns about DEET are its effects on the central nervous system. Dr. Mohammed Abou-Donia of Duke University studied lab animals' performance of neuro-behavioural tasks requiring muscle co-ordination. He found that lab animals exposed to the equivalent of average human doses of DEET performed far worse than untreated animals.

smoking helps keep the bugs away. best thing about smoking in the summer. it's funny that you mention this. i never really encountered whiney-ass, bitches until they started showing up around here. seen them other places but not around here. until now.melanie wrote:The TICKS are pretty bad, but worse than the insects are the smokers. I ran into people smoking at every crag I went to last weekend. Never really encountered this problem in other climbing areas.
