Sounds good.






I've long known that the traverse has an apple tree. I was surprised to find this, though:

A casual back-flip? Back in the thread a ways Joey Williams does one.

A guy who snorkels in the area had been wondering for years what it would be like to jump off Juniper Point. Recently he did. He did not work up to it with lower jumps, he just felt it was now or never (he is not young). His landing wasn't the best but he was going on as usual when I saw him. Next time I saw him he said the x-rays (or MRI?) showed a fracture in his femur. Props.


From the old cliff-jumper from somewhere near the traverse:

It's an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much – the wheel, New York, wars, and so on – whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man – for precisely the same reasons.

Curiously enough, the dolphins had long known of the impending destruction of the planet Earth and had made many attempts to alert mankind to the danger; but most of their communications were misinterpreted as amusing attempts to punch footballs or whistle for titbits, so they eventually gave up and left the Earth by their own means shortly before the Vogons arrived.

The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’,


but in fact the message was this:

So Long, and thanks for all the fish.

I promise...

They trudged sullenly the alien ground and the round earth rolled beneath them silently milling the greater void wherein they were contained. In the neuter austerity of that terrain all phenomena were bequeathed a strange equality and no one thing nor spider nor stone nor blade of grass could put forth claim to precedence. The very clarity of these articles belied their familiarity, for the eye predicates the whole on some feature or part and here was nothing more luminous than another and nothing more enshadowed and in the optical democracy of such landscapes all preference is made whimsical and a man and a rock become endowed with unguessed kinships.

I'll guess. Oxygen, Iron, Calcium, Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium? Maybe a few others?

Finally got a not-totally-sucky aerial of Canoe Crag. Only one route on this one according to the McLane guide. Sometimes even forms up ice...
