Old King Cole throws party and invites all of the Mother Goose characters. He warns them that they must leave at midnight. Another collection of characters puts on a stage show. The Ten Little Indian Boys get everyone dancing along. The Hickory Dickory Dock mice announce midnight, and everyone leaves, back into their books. —IMDb
In 1930, David Hand joined The Walt Disney Studios as its 21st and most ambitious young animator. It didn't take long for Walt Disney to notice his knack for getting things done, and so he moved Dave (as he was called by his friends) into directing animated shorts such as, "Pluto's Judgement Day" "Alpine Climbers" and "Little Hiawatha." Later, in 1933, Walt promoted him to Production Supervisor of the Studio, and around that same time, entrusted Dave with directing the first full-length animated feature "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."
As animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston recalled in their book Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life, Dave "was cavalier in transforming Walt's dreams into animation." Dave knew enough to recognize quality, and if Walt said, "Let's get that into the picture," Dave would make sure that it got in and just that way. If Walt said, "We can save money here; let's keep the cost down," Dave would use every shortcut in the book. He never confused… read more

Thursday, October 30th, 2008On Monday evening Wellington squash Club 3rd team were the home side against Wellington 2nd team. On court 1 Mike Broom played Barry Bartram and took the first two games 9-5, 9-5. Barry being a few years younger and more mobile clawed his way back into the match and as the clock started to get round to the hour mark Barry secured a 3-2 win by taking the last three games 9-5, 9-4, 9-3. On Court 2 Phil hart played Chris Short. Chris took the first game 9-6, but Phil came back to win the second 9-8. from there Phil took the advantage and won the next two games 9-6, 9-5 to win 3-1. Next on court two was Roger Mason against Martin Rees-Davies. The first game was a close affair with roger having the edge but squandering the chance to win it and letting Martin squeeze home 9-7. The second and third games could not have been closer with Roger winning both games 10-9. Martin came back in the third 9-4. With everything now on the fifth game Roger took control and won it 9-2 for a 3-2 win.
Back on court 1 Gary Hood played Tom MaClure. Gary took the first game comfortably 9-2. Tom came back in the second to win it 9-5 and cruised through the third 9-1. Gary came back to take the fourth 9-5. Everything rested on the fifth game and at 7-7 it could have gone either way. In the end Tom clinched it 9-7 to win 3-2 and make the tie level at 2-2. Everything now rested on the final match between Phil Griffith and Greg Harrison. Phil never got going and Greg was playing a good game and kept things tight with good drop shots and boasts. Greg won easily 9-0, 9-2, 9-3. The final match score was Wellington 2nd 10 Wellington 3rd 15.

Mistakes are costing companies millions from avoidable data breaches
Lately not a day goes by without a major news story on cybercriminals, hacktivists, and spies. These are generally viewed as the main threat actors behind the data breaches that we spend so much time — and budget — fighting. But what about Anne in Accounting, Sam in Sales and Paul in Production? While malicious attacks are certainly a significant problem and make for thrilling headlines, it's mistakes made by people and systems that actually cause the majority of data breaches.
According to the 2013 Cost of a Data Breach study, negligence and system glitches together accounted for 64 percent of data breaches last year. These can include employees mishandling information, violations of industry and government regulations, inadvertent data dumps, stolen laptops, and wrongful access.

Up to the present time men have taken up flying partly from scientific interest, partly from sport, and partly from business reasons, but a time is rapidly approaching when the art will have reached a state of development such that men can practice it without the necessity of maintaining a private laboratory or a manufacturing plant.
Considered as a sport, flying possesses attractions which will appeal to many persons with a force beyond that exercised by any of the similar sports, such as boating, cycling, or automobiling. There is a sense of exhilaration in flying through the free air, an intensity of enjoyment, which possibly may be due to the satisfaction of an inborn longing transmitted to us from the days when our early ancestors gazed wonderingly at the free flight of birds and contrasted it with their own slow and toilsome progress through the unbroken wilderness. Though methods of travel have been greatly improved in the many centuries preceding our own, men have never ceased to envy the birds and long for the day when they too might rise above the dust or mud of the highways and fly through the clean air of the heavens. Once above the treetops, the narrow roads no longer arbitrarily fix the course. The earth is spread out before the eye with a richness of color and beauty of pattern never imagined by those who have gazed at the landscape edgewise only. The view of the ordinary traveler is as inadequate as that of an ant crawling over a magnificent rug. The rich brown of freshly-turned earth, the lighter shades of dry ground, the still lighter browns and yellows of ripening crops, the almost innumerable shades of green produced by grasses and forests, together present a sight whose beauty has been confined to balloonists alone in the past. With the coming of the flyer, the pleasures of ballooning are joined with those of automobiling to form a supreme combination.
The sport will not be without some element of danger, but with a good machine this danger need not be excessive. It will be safer than automobile racing, and not much more dangerous than football. The motor flyers will always be somewhat expensive, as the best of materials and workmanship will be required in their construction; but there is a possibility that men will eventually learn to fly without motors, after the manner of the soaring birds, which sail for hours on motionless wings. In such case the flyer would be so small and simple that the original cost would be very moderate, and the fuel expense done away with entirely. Then flying will become an every-day sport for thousands. We may not live to see that day, but with thousands of buzzards, eagles, hawks and sea birds giving demonstration of the possibility of soaring flight every day of the year, no good reason exists for asserting that human flight without motors is entirely visionary. Meanwhile the motor-driven flyers will become sufficiently numerous to afford great sport, not only to the amateur aviators, but also indirectly to the general public, for the flying-machine races of the future will surpass anything the world has yet seen as spectacular performances.
In ballooning, a few glorious hours in the air are usually followed by a tiresome walk to some village, an uncomfortable night at a poor hotel, and a return home by slow local trains. With a flyer, which returns the sportsman to his starting point, thus eliminating the uncomfortable features of the balloon trip, aerial sport will appeal to a wider class than has heretofore been the case.

Following the launch of its exciting new gaming portal, www.sapphireatomic.com – SAPPHIRE Technology introduces a new limited edition product under the SAPPHIRE ATOMIC brand. The SAPPHIRE HD 3870 ATOMIC version features an exciting new single slot cooler – the first in the world to feature Vapor-X – SAPPHIRE's implementation of Vapour Chamber Technology (VCT). This advanced cooling solution provides more efficient and quieter cooling allowing the ATOMIC edition to ship overclocked out of the box, and to allow enthusiasts even more scope for performance tuning. The single slot design allows the use of multiple cards in the latest CrossFireX configurations even where PCI-Express slots are sited closely together. SAPPHIRE HD3870 ATOMIC ships in an exclusive aluminium case, with an unrivalled bundle including CCL UV lamp, HDMI adapter and 3m HDMI cable, Black Box games bundle and a discount voucher ($30 in US, 20 Euros in Europe and £15 in UK) in addition to all the standard cables and software. The SAPPHIRE HD 3870 ATOMIC has 512MB of high performance GDDR4 memory, clocked at 1200MHz (2.4GHz effective) and the GPU core is pre-overclocked at 825MHz. Supporting the new CrossFireX technology, two high speed connectors on each card allow 2, 3 or even 4 graphics cards to be daisy-chained together for enhanced performance when installed in a CrossFireX mainboard. Models in the HD 3000 series incorporate the latest ATI Avivo HD Technology for enhanced Video display and feature a built in UVD (Unified Video decoder) for the hardware accelerated decoding of Blu-ray and HD DVD content for both VC-1 and H.264 codecs, considerably reducing CPU loading. The dedicated HDMI adaptor delivers true audio and video output on a single cable for direct connection to an HDMI ready display. SAPPHIRE HD 3000 series graphics cards are Microsoft Windows Vista Premium certified and supported by the ATI Catalyst suite of software, ensuring customers have ongoing access to software updates for performance, stability and added features. Support for DirectX10.1 provides developers with access to enhanced programming techniques and new lighting effects. Source: SAPPHIRE
Newegg.com had these for $299.99 +sh last week and it's out of stock now. I bet they'll step-up the price by at least 20% with the next stocks. I feel this card is a boon for those CrossFire X potential-buyers who would choose motherboards with closely stacked PCI-E slots (and also where the PCI-E slots are adjecent to eachother, dual-slot cards won't fit). The cooler is advertised to work well in these scenarios. The packaging reminds me of the ATI Radeon X1950 XTX Uber Edition (pair of two cards in a briefcase)
my atomic review sample should be here tomorrow, so expect a review soon and yes it has to go back to sapphire
Meh, I think I'll just settle for some other brand. Paying $299 simply for the name ATOMIC, shiny briefcase, and small overclock seems ridiculous to me. Oh and I forgot its single slot, better to just get a vf900 or some other uber cooler for $40-$50 and REALLY push the clock speeds to their limits.
Wow,Its so shiny.You will have to pay lots of shipping for crossfirex it seems It kinda remind me of that ATI Radeon X1950XTX Uber edition.Which was limited,had some proof of purchase like thing and a briefcase with a lock .
Wonderful review! If these can be found for a decent price, I would love two in crossfire, perhaps even more than a single 3870x2. I wonder how many of these Sapphire is going to make?
On page 4-A Closer Look, you state that: "The GDDR3 memory chips are made by Samsung and carry the model number K4U52324QE-BC08. With 0.8ns they are the fastest GDDR3 memory chips available on the market today and should be able to handle at least 1250 MHz (if the memory controller in the GPU can handle that speed)." If I'm not mistaken, these are GDDR4 from what I've read up on

So let's put it edwards' case now folks where the interior designer.
Is now the center of this trial and John Edwards corruption case it's back on -- stand right now his name is Bryan -- OK he's explaining.
His role in funneling nearly 800000.
Dollars to former vice presidential candidate John Edwards campaign.
Hoffman worked for -- -- -- millionaire bunny Mellon they had at it working relationship and he explained the whole thing this way.
Our furniture business and -- for these checks were written we're gonna talk about a moment did not really involved furniture.
And a prosecutor asked well what was it.
He answered.
It was money for Senator Edwards.
I can be much more and Matt -- described receiving this 100000 dollar Jack.
From the 100 in year old heiress Rachel known as bunny Mellon.
With -- Charleston table written in the memo line very crafty.
-- -- -- as facies former federal prosecutor Richard rock is defense attorney.
-- it out this this is his more interesting everyday having -- yesterday we have this dramatic family scene with Elizabeth Edwards throwing herself and down on that.
Wrote -- -- tarmac.
Just a complete wrap her daughter had to leave the -- then the next chapter.
Is -- interior designer who shows up and basically says I've been funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to cover up this affair.
Under the name of an -- designer and writing checks.
Where where we -- hammering out.
It's fascinating no question.
The the prosecution is clearly trying to paint and -- this awful awful human -- So that the jury really dislikes him has a visceral dislike -- -- and it's not hard to do with with the evidence that there is the question is going to be though.
Can they actually proved that he did know.
That the money was being used it was in and so far we haven't seen -- link yet.
And that's the central issue here is whether or not they can prove to this jury.
They yes John Edwards was you know using money from bunny -- and Fred -- to cover up his affair but only because he wanted to see this family wanted to protect the whole thing.
But Elizabeth -- -- his wife who was cancer stricken.
And that the money did not have anything to do with keeping -- campaign going.
-- Can they prove that.
Well that's that's exactly that's the point.
The point here is that you take the following off the table take off the table that he's a senator he's an ethical and moral he -- getting connects with -- cancer stricken wife.
That is not really relevant -- certainly creates a real hatred for him for the jury.
But that's Allen's about -- about whether he -- actually knew -- intentionally use campaign funds inappropriate purposes.
And that the evidence that we've heard so far before the defense has had a chance support -- -- To cross examine mr.
hunter it should be beyond the person was -- -- a bunny -- is -- the checks did not go to a threat which it checks went from bunny Mellon.
And endorsed by this witness on the stand then they went to mr.
young mr.
young who was the primary witness -- Really to try to prove this case is is an admitted liar is -- lawbreakers at all that money went through shoe thing to do that -- Out of it -- contacted -- Would this money have ever changed hands if these people did not have a vested interest in his campaign.
They they were deep into this campaign Andrew Young had -- he says by the in his own account he had spent years of his life trying to make sure that John Edwards became president.
But in Allen said as much as in -- why else would they have given this money Elizabeth Edwards by all accounts already knew that he was cheating on her.
So isn't that is fairly straight or not and you look at the money even though the -- took most of this money for themselves that could have been their payment.
Well I am saying that he was the one who spotted the child and -- -- -- and clearly they've made that connection or any that Edwards did in fact meet with Bonnie Mallon.
It's a difficult case so it would be much easier obviously -- they bring in Bonnie -- to testify.
Because they're going to make the argument maybe this was -- -- they are why did you do it what was your motivation -- I under what was your -- did he do it it.
Help John Edwards just because -- liked him and you want to help and protect his family what does he do it for the sole purpose of wanting to see him.
Become president it also sent Richard Hewitt -- pretty careful not to actually touch the money himself.
Correct -- how big of an impact does that have.
-- there's no question the -- being used for wrongful purposes was it to hide the fact that he had a a woman with living with the -- within a child -- -- Eventually eventually but satellite a real picnic by the way I -- I -- I can imagine mrs.
young certainly didn't didn't enjoy that moment.
But the point is that the reason why he was doing it or is it because he was trying to move his campaign forward and that's the big issue here we have to focus on there clearly -- Inappropriate motive political -- -- -- was the money being used for campaign passes to shut.
And there is gonna have to decide that's what we had just don't you know it in -- -- will they find him guilty -- It thinks.
I like that I agree.
It's early it's early yet we know what I mean evidence they have and that question is going to be -- should have known what was back to talk about it when it as thanks very much everybody there could have here today.

Private equity houses Carlyle and JF Lehman are among the bidders for DaimlerChrysler's [DCX] MTU Aero Engines business. MTU's presence in the military aviation market should tide it through the slowdown in civil aviation sales. This makes it very attractive to financial buyers, who can sell the firm on once the civil sector recovers.

Team Barkow comes in second at the US Olympic Trials after a hard battle for the top spot
May 29, 2012 in Team Sperry Blog
Last week we competed in the second part of the US trials. This was a winner take all event, and unfortunately we got second. The event consisted of two series. In the first series we were matched up against Genny Tulloch and team. We won the series 6-4 to advance to the finals. In the finals we sailed Anna Tunnicliffe and team, and they were able to win the series 6-3. For a more detailed regatta report, check out our website, www.team7sailing.com. We are disappointed with how the event turned out, but want to say congrats and good luck to Anna, Molly, and Debbie for winning the event.
While we are still disappointed with how this event finished up, we are not finished. We will be competing at the Women's Match Race World's in late June in Sweden. Read the rest of this entry →

I'm was bear conversation to have any agreement -- -- -- while I.
I agree with you I think it is a fat statement all reality.
Not now I'm coming of this when big fight about this and our editorial meeting this morning but I I saw -- I think women.
Gonna catch -- -- saying yes I think women -- better can give us the young babies.
And that is a second job on top of that Korea and that is a disadvantage.
But my judgment was the women -- better can't give us I mean they're more naturally inclined to do that unless so wrong for saying that it.
Laura and I think it -- a disadvantage look I'm not working mom but I also have three young children.
And I want to be with those -- I I'm upset when I have a really long day that keeps me away from them.

If you're planning a weekend trip to Milan, why not plan a little stroll on your Sunday afternoon? But make sure you plan your trip for the last Sunday of the month, except for July and August.
On these Sunday's you can find the Naviglio Grande (the larger canal in Milan) Antique Markets opening up the area to second-hand vintage clothes, antiques, old books and local shops are open too.
A lot of the shops on the canal are local artists and if you wander into some of the courtyards you can see more art on display as well as see the traditional public style housing of the past.
On a nice day it really is pleasurable to stroll down the canal and see what interesting or strange things are on sale. On a colder day, maybe a nice lunch or coffee and some people watching?!
If you want to stop for lunch, many of the restaurants are open. I am often tempted by a takeaway chocolate and pear crepe or a coffee at Bar Stazione. You can then stare out the window and watch the world go by before joining the crowd.

It's my third time to stay at this hotel and the last two stays, I was really happy about their service. The third stay, however, was quite disappointing. They have just finished renovation and the new lobby, restaurant, and rooms were definitely nicer. However, I think they lacked the time to train their new employees.

CINAR Strikes Back With Lawsuit
03/22/2000 - 00:00
files/pictures/picture-35.jpgAfter allegations of fraud, misallocated funds, shareholder lawsuits, executive shuffling, plummeting stock prices and subsidy suspension, CINAR Corp. said Monday, March 20, 2000 that it had filed a law suit against several companies believed to be connected with the US$122 million in unauthorized investments. This announcement comes after the Canadian Television Fund (CTF) and Telefilm Canada, which provide the main source of public funding for Canadian producers, suspended money to the producers of such shows as the Emmy Award-winning ARTHUR until full disclosure was given about the company's financial problems. CINAR's spokeswoman Suzan Ayscough said, "We are committed to providing clear answers to key issues." To end the now 11-day halt on the trading of CINAR stock, Toronto Stock Exchange and Nasdaq officials also await a conclusive report on the company's mounting problems. Ayscough said the company would provide a complete list of answers no later than April 14, 2000. The new suit helps CINAR shed more light on the dark shadow hovering over the animation house. Filed in the Supreme Court of the Bahamas, the suit is the company's first aggressive step to recover all the money and obtain increased information about the nature of the non-board-approved investments. "Based on our findings, we have determined that these proceedings are required to protect the interests of the company," CINAR Chief Executive Barrie Usher said. The three companies and one individual listed in the lawsuit are Norshield International Ltd.; its affiliates Globe-X Management Ltd. and Globe-X Canadiana Ltd.; and Robert Daviault, an officer of Globe-X Management Limited and/or Globe-X Canadiana Limited. The Bahamas-based Norshield International is a unit of Montreal-based Norshield Financial Group, which specializes in merchant banking and asset management. CINAR said it learned last month that about $122 million had been transferred without the board's authorization to Norshield International, where it was used to buy investment grade securities. The company tried to recover the money, but on March 3 found that the funds were held by Norshield affiliate Globe-X Management, which had used $86 million to purchase commercial paper from its affiliate Globe-X Canadiana. "They (CINAR management) have also been attempting to ascertain the underlying value of the commercial paper of Globe-X Canadiana, but management of Globe-X Management and Globe-X Canadiana have consistently refused to provide any substantive information with respect to the nature or value of the assets and liabilities of Globe-X Canadiana," CINAR said. As of Friday, March 17, CINAR said it had regained about $46 million of the missing money, while Globe-X management allegedly commands roughly $76 million in commercial paper issued by Globe-X Canadiana. The names of the companies involved were not released earlier in fear of breaking down talks between CINAR and Norshield.

Recipe by Campbell's Kitchen
"Potatoes, celery and onion simmer to tenderness in chicken broth, blended with milk to create a hearty, creamy soup."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
4 green onions, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 3/4 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth (regular, Natural Goodness™ or Certified Organic)
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 1/2 cups milk
I've made this recipe before, and it was fantastic. My mother in law made a variation of this same recipe. It was DELICIOUS! She added bacon (because my husband insists on meat at every meal), and it was a great touch. She also added sour cream, about a small container's worth.Excellent recipe. Thank you.
nice quick and easy soup to make. only blend half of soup
21 Ratings
What a great soup for my 1 year old! I only blend had the soup though, so that it is still a little chunky!
My family of eight loves this tasty and economical soup, and we make it regularly. We sometimes add bacon bits to our individual bowls for extra flavor. (Note-- It's nearly impossible to make something that everyone in this family loves.) Thanks for the recipe!
I have made this soup for years...great when seasoned with dill!
I've made this several times both at home and at my mothers&grandmothers house. gram hated it mom said it was ok but needed more potatoes(both very picky eaters) My children beg for more and want it all the time.Hubby and my self can't get enough ,the kids eat it all before we get a second bowl. Definitely a keeper.
this was a good soup, but i changed the recipe. i dident have green onions so i used half of a large yellow onion, then i didnt fry the onions in the pan with butter, i just cooked them in with the potaotoes, i cut back on the milk and i left a small portion of just bearley mashed poatotes, instead of blending them all, to make the soup have more texture. it was defaneetley watery, not as thick as i would like it thhough. but it would make an awesome base for differant homemade soups! :) also goes good with finger sandwitches!
This soup is so easy to make and it's delicious! I made it for our "Cultural Diversity" potluck at work and this was the only dish that didn't have to be packed up for leftovers.

Québec may be larger than Ontario. British Columbia may have more mountains and Alberta may be booming with economic power, but when a traveler is looking for culture, cuisine, and a sophisticated atmosphere, they visit Ontario. There's no doubt Ontario has grown into a multicultural, thriving and dynamic area.
Throughout the year, Ontario celebrates its diversity with various cultural festivals. Many fans of theatre will enjoy the Stratford's Shakespeare Festival or the Shaw festival in Niagara. Ontario also celebrates Oktoberfest, which is extremely popular and a huge favorite of Canadians and other visitors and tourists.

One is the Asus Taichi, which features two LED-backlit, 1080p displays. This two-headed creation allows the screens to operate independently of each other, with an outer, multi-touch-enabled display that allows the unit to function as a tablet when it's closed. A separate camera is attached to each screen.
AiO, Transformer Book
The Taichi, which will come in 11.6- and 13.3-inch screen sizes, is based on Intel Ivy Bridge processors and comes with a solid-state drive.
Asus also showed its Transformer AiO, which, as befits its name, can boot either Android or Windows 8 and is partly a tablet and partly an all-in-one PC . The removable, 18.4-inch LED-backlit multi-touch screen can be detached from the main unit, turning it into a wireless tablet.
The only catch is that the logic display for the screen remains in the main unit, transmitting wirelessly to the detached screen. This means that users will need to remain close to the mother ship.
And there's the Windows 8-based, Ivy Bridge-powered Asus Transformer Book, available in 11.6-, 13-, or 14-inch sizes. In its original state, the unit looks like a conventional notebook , although one with a touchscreen that allows touch-interaction with the Metro interface in Windows 8.
This 1920�1080 screen can also be detached from the unit, transforming itself into a tablet. The unit features NVIDIA discrete graphics, 4GB DDR3 dual channel RAM, USB 3.0, SSD and HDD storage , an HD camera on front and a 5-megapixel camera on the back, and a detachable QWERTY keyboard.
'Very Niche-Use Case'
The new Asus products are only some of the many form factors one can expect to see emerge as the day for Windows 8's full release, expected in the fall, gets closer. The new Windows offers both the touch-sensitive Metro 8 interface as well as a more traditional, keyboard-and-mouse based desktop interface, prompting the creation of a range of new possibilities in portable computing devices.
The key question, of course, is whether there are sufficient buyers for these multi-variant offerings. We posed that question to Avi Greengart, an analyst with industry research firm Current Analysis.
Greengart pointed to the Taichi as a form factor that, if it's priced right, could appeal to "a very niche use case -- traveling sales people, who might want to show a presentation to one or more people sitting opposite from them." No price has yet been announced.
But, he noted, this "probably" does not represents a significant market. And, Greengart noted, to most people the Taichi "looks like a concept device."
Greengart said that the AiO also "fell into the amusing category," since it appears to be one of the form factors that "tend to be done because they can be."

Rossiter calls this route "a near-classic," and for good reason. Consistent pitches, easy routefinding, and solid crack climbing is what this is all about. We had a smile after every pitch! P1: Scramble up to the chimney that is The Mail Ridge, and go slightly right. Start climbing here. Go up the short left facing dihedral created by a large triangular block. Gain the top of said block, and move right into another left-facing dihedral with a slight bulge. Move over and follow the crack up (crux of pitch) to the nice ledge. Try belaying a little to the left of where you end up on this ledge. P2: Attack the roof and follow the crack up the right-facing dihedral about 15 feet left of where the previous pitch left you. Follow up through a slot, and belay on an open face before you get to the large flake that continues on your path up the right side of the wall. 5.9. P3: Follow this flake up - and what fun! Super-positive, and nice and airy. Use your extra #3 here to protect, as it's a little blank. Rossiter suggests moving left halfway up this flake and continuing on the arete, but I think it's just as fun to follow the flake up and out. Belay anywhere you want on the great break ledge at the end of this flake. 5.7. P4: The crux pitch starts about 15 feet, 90 degrees to the left of the direction of travel you were maintaining as you finished the flake. It's a steep, slightly meandering hand crack that ends with a small roof, which you surmount by passing to the left and then stepping left once over to a great belay stance. Steep and sustained but with a number of good spots to place pro, this pitch is a blast! 5.10-. P5: Shoot up and slightly right, following the crack from the belay stance up to the summit and enjoy the view! Maybe 5.5. Pitches 2-3 and 4-5 are easily linked; many people find this better as a 3 pitch climb.
Standard rack up to #3.5 Camalot, plus an extra #2 and #3 Camalot for crux fourth pitch is nice (or else creative use of tri-cams).
From the summit, scramble down the notch. Work north & west, and walk all the way down to the trail, with one 4th class downclimb right above the ground. When in doubt, keep north - it's a good, well-worn path all the way. It is also possible to rappel Pony Express, but there's tons of loose rock and probably climbers below. Don't do it.
A #3 Camalot is a little too big for the handcrack on P4--several #2s are definitely preferable. Also, I just wanted to add that the pro for this climb is great--easy to place and well-protected at all the cruxes.
We did this route today. Every pitch was good. I led the crux pitch (combined it with the last pitch) and really thought it was more like 5.9. Another good feature of this route was that no one else was on it, or even near it.
Really a number two is a little small for the crux. What you need is a few number three friends. Right in between a 2 and 3 Camalot. Buena suerte
I forgot how fun this route is! Pitches 2 and 3 can be linked comfortably with a 60, and probably still with a 50m rope. You might even be able to link 1, 2, and 3 with a 60m (belaying from ledge 40 feet off ground). Then, link 4 and 5 together; otherwise 5 is 40 feet of easy easy climbing after a 70 foot pitch. As for the crux 4th pitch (I know I submitted the route, but I just have to comment).... just plug the cams and GO - jam jam slot the foot, gain the undercling and then streeeetcchhhh up and left and you're done with a beautiful sequence. The holds are good, the gear is fine, don't dally around. Yeehaw! FWIW, after that you can traverse 5 feet right up clean and fun 5.7 unprotected face climbing to the top.
The route compared to Perversion or Green Spur seems similar--the last pitch was a lot easier the 2nd time around, but the start of the second pitch is still burly.
The first time I tried this route, we got confused after the second pitch (having left the guidebook on the ground as usual). If you go too far left at the top of p 2, you will end up doing the top of "The Mail Ridge" or "Lightning Bolt Crack" instead.
Great route with great pro. P1 seemed stiff for its grade. The start of P2 felt technically harder than the crux P4 for me (which is hand size dependent). Good advice to not dally as P4 gets steeper and steeper as you near the top. Excellent!
Another bit of info to add to the "For What It's Worth" file: Pitch 1 and 2 combine nicely at roughly 160 ft.
All pitches are good and most are excellent. If done in four pitches they are all pretty short. I have to weigh in on the 5.10a/b side of the fence for a rating. Did Morning Thunder yesterday (5.9+) and found it significantly easier.
Re: the descent. From Rossiter: "downclimb ... north, down a steep gully to the sw" at which point you'll see a decent size tree with a sling/rope, rings ... You can reach the ground with double ropes from this tree. This way you avoid crossing the slab. Worked well.
Great route over all. Good pro and easy route finding to an airy summit.
A great climb. I like to have 3 #2 Camalots for the fourth pitch. Stemming is the key to success here. On the descent, you can rappel with a single 60m rope from the tree mentioned in the comment aboveall the way to the rap station atop the first pitch of Pony Express. Another one-rope rap gets you to the ground.
I agree that this is a classic, but would encourage people to descend via the 'walk-off' rather than rappel down over the ever-popular Pony Express. The walk-off angles down west from the notch. Other than some short easy down-climbing sections it is straightforward. Avoid anything that looks like a hanging scree slope.
...don't know about this "almost classic" stuff: it's a sure-nuff full-on classic in my book. All pitches are way good! There's a lost cam half-way up pitch 4-- wouldn't bother with it unless you just wanna add to your pump. The walk off to the north, as mentioned above, is straight-forward and probably quicker than messing with rappels.
Good advice to walk off instead of rap. This rappel is potential suicide or [homicide] as this is directly above one of the most popular areas on the West Ridge. There's a ton of loosely hanging plates and flakes all down the first rap and the 1st rappel tree is [sketchy] to get to. The cam Tobias mentions is a #3 Camalot. I worked on it for about 20 minutes today but it's well stuck and still there as of today (6/15/03). Kudos to whomever can un-stick it.
Good climb. I thought the crux was on the first pitch at the overhang. Every pitch is excellent and well protected.
You only need the #4 Friend for the 3rd pitch which is only 5.7. With a small runout on the 3rd pitch, you can also leave the #3 Camalot on the ground. A single set of Camalots to #2, with 2 #3 Friends was perfect for the crux pitch. I thought the rap from the tree was fairly clean. I would think that you would knock more rocks down by downclimbing.
Very nice route! We linked pitches 2&3, and 4&5, making it a nice 3-pitch routes with challenges on all pitches. I thought P1 was hard for 5.8, but I always seem to think that at the West Ridge. I had a harder time with the start of P2 than with P4, although I did not lead P4. P2 was reminiscent of Break on Through, although with bigger hand and foot holds. Would have been nice to have a larger cam, or two, on P3 to protect the flake (I left my 3.5 at the belay below). I ended up slinging some horns and running it out, which was kinda fun with all that exposure. P4 didn't seem to have any specific crux, it was just very sustained. Luckily my hands fit it well and maybe my downgrade is inappropriate on those grounds. For some reason, we didn't bring any #3 Camalots. Instead we skipped from #2 to #3.5 Friend. I don't know what we were thinking, getting on a climb called Handcracker with this gear. Anyway, Mike Flanagan led the crux pitch and had trouble with gear. #2 was too small, #3.5 (Friend) was too big. He had to get creative. Moral of the story--bring at least 1, if not 2, # 3 Camalots or, maybe as someone suggested above, #3 Friends. The stuck cam was gone as of yesterday. We forgot to glean descent beta from the book before leaving the ground. There is a rap sling on the tree to the right of the summit. We rapped the overhanging face below, then scrambled over to the rap descent for Long John, which was like 3 or 4 more raps, with lots of sketch loose rock, etc. NOT RECOMMENDED.
We were almost killed by climbers who knocked a very large rock (read: torso-sized) off the descent via the tree rap to the anchor station at Pony Express. Please be careful when descending.
Just climbed this route today. Climbed the fourth pitch without jamming, using only flakes, edges and stems, so if you're not into jamming it, don't despair, it's doable - use sharp holds and good body position. Descend CAREFULLY down gully and look for rap slings and rings on tree at right. Lower rope and rap to Pony Express rap station with much care, a lot of loose rock up there and a lot of climbers below... Fun route!
PLEASE DON'T RAP DOWN ONTO PONY EXPRESS. A walk-off, with a short easy down-climbing section, begins in the notch to the west of the summit and angles west. It's faster, and safer for everyone, if you use this.
Scott Conner and I climbed this route a week or so ago. Great climb! He showed me the excellent walkoff that keeps you on the same side of the ridge and deposits you a bit uphill of your pack. It took us less than 15 minutes to descend. Highly recommended.
We climbed this last Sunday and I have to say it is a great climb. We did it in three pitches linking pitches 2-3 and pitches 4-5. This worked out perfect with a 60M rope. I felt pitch one was stout for 5.8. The crux of pitch two proved hard to protect if you are too short to stem to the good holds. The cracks eats gear but if you can't let go to place it, it's not much good. At 6ft I was able to stem just fine. The flake pitch we thought was wild! we had no large gear to protect so it proved to be pretty run out... And finally the crux 5.10 pitch is simply awesome. The best jamming crack I have found in Eldo. There is currently a fixed stopper at the top of the arching crack. WT
Warren Teissier writes: "I felt pitch one was stout for 5.8." Scott Conner writes: "P1 seemed stiff for its grade." The 5.8 rating may have been true many years ago, but isn't now. In 1987, there used to be a breadbox-sized flake to the right of the crux hand crack; I pulled it off and took a short fall while leading the pitch. Without this flake, the move is a lot harder than 5.8; I'd call it solid 5.9+. I like to place a #2 Camalot or #3 Friend low in the short hand crack and get a left-hand jam above the piece. For me, this move is as hard (or harder) than the crux on pitch 4.
Does anyone know what the walk-off potential for this route is like if one goes EAST from the summit? Specifically, I like to link this up with the Yellow Spur sometime. Does that put you near the base of the Spur?
?????? asks: Does that put you near the base of the Spur? Yes. You can easily link this route with the Yellow Spur.
And I just thought P1 was the most sandbagged 5.8 I'd ever climbed. I definitely got a bit of a surprise when I reached the difficult section. It's about the same level as the upper pitch though, so no real problems if you are a 5.10 climber, although my partner did fall on toprope! He probably wasn't expecting it either, since I didn't mention anything, but did make sure I wasn't belaying directly off my harness (as I do when I'm fairly confident my second won't fall).
Stellar route with all kinds of interesting moves, and is appropriately named. My first time on it. Agree with Ron and Warren, in that P1 has a stout jam out from under a bulge that is more like (9+), but is easy to protect well. The start of P2 got my attention...launched up and stemmed out right to a big edge to start the business...this crack takes ~1" pro. Combining 2 & 3, we worked the outside edges of the giant flakes, lots of fun here...the #4 cam is nice to have at this point, but the climbing is moderate thru there and can get by without it.As Ron mentioned, save two #2 Camalots for the business on the upper P4 crack. Trying to place #3s that didn't quite fit pumped me out at that crux...not a place to fiddle with gear. Didn't feel a lot of exposure on this route, as your climbing off roomy ledges...felt most at start of P2. Worthy of time & effort... got to do this one again.
This route is not to be missed. Lots of crack climbing of all different sizes. Regarding the descent: the first tree with rap slings is very sketchy to get to and there are huge loose boulders all over the place-don't go there. Instead if one continues another 100' to the west there is a much bigger tree with rap anchors on it. One double rope rap will put you on the ground just west of the Pony Express area. Rapping from this tree is a good idea because you stay high thus avoiding most of the really loose stuff, the tree is bigger, and it is not directly above the most popular area of the West Ridge. Also, when I was down-climbing off the summit it looked like it would be very easy to get to the Redgarden trail from there. Has anyone done this? Just wondering.
What a classic climb! I can't believe I've been climbing at Eldo for 10+ years and have never done this one. Wow, I was missing out. The 4th pitch is outstanding. One of the top 5 pitches in Eldo in my book.
Just did this route for the first time on Nov 22 2006. What a great climbing, and we missed the 2nd pitch, and it was still great. There was 3 of us, and all of us thought the crux pitch was easier than the crux of the 1st pitch. But we all love crack climbing. If your crack skill are up to date, then the 4th is no issue. I do have to say that # 3 WC Friends are the way to go on the 4th. BD #3 are too big for the crack and BD #2 are too small. Oh and you should link the 4th and 5th pitch together. Not sure about the 2nd and 3rd, because we missed the 2nd. As for the descent, from the top of the climb, down climb to the notch on the north. Once in the notch, you will see the gully. Start to go into the gully but keep to the rock face on the right. Keep to the right and head north. It is a very simple downclimb that will take you to the path. It is faster than the raps and easier to find. Plus, it is a hell of a lot safer for you and the people below. The gully is full of loose rock.
IMO, this is best done as a 3-pitch outing: P1: 80' P2 (P2 & P3 combined): 120' P3 (P4 & P5 combined): 100'
Fun route. After doing the route in 4 pitches (only linking 4&5) I would agree that doing it in 3 by linking 2&3, and 4&5 would be the way to go. You can also add a harder 1st pitch that goes at 10b/c called Chick on the Side. It spanked me pretty hard, but it pops you out on the ledge that Handcracker starts on.
Probably should have read these comments BEFORE climbing this route. As I up climbed and down climbed the P1 bulge several times wondering why I couldn't figure it out since it's only 5.8. My partner said he found a hold out right (which I never found), while I slotted the crack with my left, stood up and made a fairly dynamic move to the jug at the lip, not recommended. Look right, or so my partner tells me. Stellar route!
We climbed this stellar route last weekend. I'd like to repeat all of the previous posts. I found the roof on P2 to be stiffer than P4. Pitch 4 is sustained, but I'm only 5'6" (on a good day) and I had no problem reaching up to the jug on P4. However, we blew it on the descent and headed down the looseness to the rap station, spilling scree on a party below (so sorry guys). It's a sketchy descent and I would certainly take the walk off next time, now that I know it exists.
For me, the cruxes were getting into the crack on pitch one and getting through the corner on pitch 2. The supposed crux itch seemed easy in comparison but it also made the climb. Fantastic stems, foot stacks, hand jams, and a fun lieback up to a jug made the last pitch a real classic crack for Eldo. It was much more fun than the crack on Blind Faith.
The 10a pitch is by far one of the best of its grade in Eldo.
Love this climb. It's a must do, and there isn't a pitch I wouldn't do again in a heart beat.
Wonderful route. Varied, interesting moves. Good pro. BETA WARNING. I led first pitch and thought the bulge was maybe 8+. Key was decent left fingers (undercling or lieback an edge in crack? don't remember) move right foot up, and reach up and right for good edge with right hand. Pitch 2 corner was a finger lieback low and tight hands above, made easier with decent stems. On linked pitch 3, I thought there were lots of dicey flakes and was glad I wasn't leading while deciding what to trust. Crux pitch: what perfect, easy jams for biggish hands! But I kept getting decent stems and plugging too much gear because I didn't know if there would be more stances. (There are). When I reached the top roof, I was pumped and hung before cranking the good hand edges--not quite jugs. :) Damn. Next time! So I thought the ratings were right: 8+, 9, 10a, and the crux was the crux because the pump snuck up on me. Agree 3 pitches is best: 1, 2&3, and 4&5. Strongly agree it's best to walk all the way off. Per Rossiter's book, we worked down to the notch, never saw an obvious rappel, but kept following the distinct path west, past a couple down climbs, easily to the trail. Don't know why anyone would hang on a rope instead.
I'm giving this a 5.10a rating, but not for the crux on P4, but on P1...it felt hard. Maybe it is just 5.9+, but felt way harder than the upper crux. If you can hand jam well then the upper section will feel relatively straightforward, if not I can see it feeling 5.10. I think 2 #2 Camalots are sufficient, though I also placed a #3 somewhere. You don't need Friends, Camalots fit just fine. Great jamming, but too bad that section isn't a full rope length...then it would be classic!
Did anyone happen to find a #1 Camalot with yellow and white tape on it? I may have left it at the top belay. Thanks! firstname.lastname@example.com
There are currently 3 stuck cams near the crux, all within a few feet of one another. 1 green Alien, 1 old #3 Camalot, and an older #3 sized cam that I didn't recognize. Crafty cleaners could probably get the #3 Camalot and green Alien.
There is an OLD #3 Camalot (dual stem) and a green Alien stuck right before the crux on pitch 4. The Camalot is pretty stuck and it looks like many people have tried to remove the Alien. A #2 Camalot will fit well above the old stuck #3.
The crux pitch is basically a sport pitch now. There are 4 pieces of fixed gear. The old #3 has been replaced by a brand new #3 Camalot. It should come out with a little work. Leave the #3 Camalots on the ground, and bring #3 Friends instead.
Can easily be done in 3 pitches with a 60m. Linking 2 and 3 by going left avoiding the big flake and up an easy runout arete is a nice variation that keeps the rope in a straight line.
THIS CRACK GOBBLES UP #3 CAMALOTS! There are now two fixed #3s on the crux pitch of this climb. I was up there yesterday (april 8, 2010) and had to bail on a hopelessly overcammed #3 - I know booty is booty, but if anyone feels a random act of kindness coming on, the lower, shinier #3 on this pitch wants to come back to its master... firstname.lastname@example.com.
You mean 'apprentice', don't you(?)
No. He meant, "boy." And whatever become of that shiney new pro, we'll none of us know. As of 4.28.10, there was but one hideously over-cammed #3 Camalot in the magic hand crack on P4--and it was one tired, decrepit unit. Skip it for full effect. As others suggest, bring 2 #2s and place high, place judiciously. With some tape on your hands and perhaps a bit of surgical back-cleaning (or just bumping those 2s up a bit), the initiate 5.10 climber could do no wrong. Rest up. Be ready to jam. And the jugs will appear soon enough, young leader. OH! And Mike Morely has the pitch count perfect: P1: 80' P2 (P2 & P3 combined): 120' P3 (P4 & P5 combined): 100' Lastly, don't avoid the P3 gruntfest up the fabulous flake. Protection is limited, inventive--but the exposed 5.8 juggy madness is a dream pitch and goes easily with the big of heart but without the big gear.
As of 7/5/2010 there are still two #3 Camalots fixed right next to each other on the crux pitch. I was able to place a #3 higher up with no removal problems and was happy to have 2 #2s as well. The hand jams on this pitch are amazing and felt so secure! As for the pitch 3 "gruntfest" that had me a bit worried but I made it up with no grunting and no offwidth skills at all. The most of it can be liebacked on huge jugs, and the middle section is a easy chimney to #4 Camalot placement the go back to liebacking and a few slabby moves to the finish. Also the rottten band in between pitch 2 and 3 was rather scary for me, a lot of suspect rock there, make sure your careful and test the holds, and you should be fine.
I did not find any 10a moves on this climb (but lots of 9). I had a good pump going in several locations, though. If you place gear efficiently on p4 it is not too hard. A very enjoyable climb with comfy belay ledges and excellent pro.
Attempted this on my 5th time climbing. Belayed after pitch 3. Challenging for me at this stage but highly enjoyable.
I cleaned the upper #3 Camalot today (it now looks like an aluminum dumpling). The lower one was elbow deep, but I managed to get it to near the lip. Someone with smaller hands needs to walk it sideways about 3 feet up the crack to remove it.
Reading the comments, I got all worked up worrying about if I needed triples or if I needed something between a BD #2 and #3. In actual fact, on the crux pitch, 1 green, 1 red, 2 gold Camalots sewed up the crack. One small purple Camalot up and right of the undercling made the exit left super safe. Great climb!
