Re: King snake on snake predation.

Hey Jim, I am an all Mac person and am trying to figure out how to insert a simple working link for anything I might want to share. I keep getting some [url] thing which screws up the link. Help.

And to CougarMagic, you need to see Cat Haven. It is way worth it, but go in the AM on a weekday.

Re: Add: Potrero John Creek w/ no ropes 7/19/12

Jack my friend, I pity the small-mindedness represented by the writers on this forum. Clearly they were given a large brain by mistake. Like I say, I'm done with these folks. We're being criticized by the "don't deviate from the guidebook crowd". This interaction demeans what we do and I'm...

Re: Add: Potrero John Creek w/ no ropes 7/19/12

I don't get you people. Class 3 has always been defined as steep scrambling. And yes, we would have been able to climb out. You guys don't like my style, fine. I've been doing this since before you all got your first rock shoes. I don't have time to waste on people who can't appreciate boldness. We ...

Re: Add: Potrero John Creek w/ no ropes 7/19/12

Um, I never once claimed that descending PJ was "canyoneering". That is a whole different animal, and I've done a modest bit of the real stuff during sabaticals in Flagstaff & Sedona. No, this wasn't canyoneering. It was exactly what I said it was: a ballsyClass I'VE descent of a big d...

Re: Add: Potrero John Creek w/ no ropes 7/19/12

I would also like to point out that at the bottom of my trip report I left a disclaimer in which I said "don't try this unless you know what you are doing". We did.

Re: Add: Potrero John Creek w/ no ropes 7/19/12

Everybody is making such a big deal about my safety that I thought I'd chime in. No, I did not have any advanced information regarding this descent other than an on-site recon of the upper portions of our route. Yes, I did decide that in all likelihood PJ's drainage would be possible to descend with...
