Woah, woah, woah. I've been projecting Mr. Bungle all winter, and I'm scheduled to send on Saturday morning. After that I'm going to start hang-dogging Brother Stair. Don't get in my way, or little siblings will get drop-kicked.

So there are going to be geisha transvestite snack salespersons there on Saturday?!? Life is good. I'll take some potato chips and a chocolate yum yum.

Sorry to ruin your plans mister felatio, but its not gonna happen. me and all my redneck brothers/cousins are going repelling there that day. We've been planning it for months already, we got ropes and everything. We even asked the forest service, and they said it would be fine if we wanted to go out in the woods and kill ourselves, so we've got that area officially reserved.
oh, and I was just wondering, do you have to double it back if you're using a figure eight to repel?
And just what exactly is a felatio anyway? what the hell kind of name is that?

matt . bad news. i took my last group of People Afraid to Die in the Woods, or PadWoo as they liked to be called there last week and, well..... i killed them to halp them get over their fears. turns out that if you bury them in a shallow grave at the base of the climb, it becomes an archeological site. or was it a crime scene? anyway, there is now some yellow tape and a fence up around the area. so you may have to go somewhere else. Sorry for the let down. But hey. you should have seen the look on those people's faces as they overcame their fear. Good luck and on belay!

Umm, those are my draws on brother stair, please don't touch them. After I finish my training I plan to send this beautiful and aesthetic line. I heard the footwork is a little tricky at the top, with possibility of a foot behind the rope and flipping upside down.

Just remember-- if it gets overwhelming, you can always practice multi-pitching on it. I hear it's a good route for that.

Multi-Pitching on Brother Stair? What kind of gumby are you? You multi-pitch on Face Up to That Crack. You're supposed to set a hanging belay in the crack. That's how the first ascentionist did it.

um, the FA was by native americans. can you prove they did a hanging belay?

yasmeen is a super gumby. her and paul stick clipped up brother stair for aid climbing training.

dude the native americans didnt belay they always soloed. they put the bolts in to hang their kill to dry out. belaying by early native americans, thats just stupid. get your facts straight.

Well, if you walk the cliffline, going to the left of To Defy The Laws of Tradition, you eventually will come to a small overhanging "cave." On the roof you can see a small cave painting that arguably shows a group of Indigenous Americans climbing Face Up to That Crack, and making use of a hanging belay. The drawings are crude, but that seems to be the case. If you can't find the roof, keep walking, as it is a long hike. As for Yasmeen being a super gumby, I just knew those guidebook photos were staged!
