Finding God is supposed to be one of the most happiest and peaceful times of our lives, but I feel ashamed to say it hasn't for me. It's been a rough time. I don't want people to look at me and see hurt, depression, confusion, misguidance as a God fearing Muslim. I want them to see happiness, light, peace, angels; want them to feel strength.

Read our State-Approved Environmental Report
Memories of the War Birds Sarah Colvin's Photo Album
At a strategic retreat held in June 2012, the commissioners set several priorities for the immediate future. Priority #1 focuses on the need to increase airport revenue. To that end, commissioners are actively exploring the establishment of a limited, airport-operated or contracted fixed-based operator (FBO) facility on the East Ramp of the airfield. This would generate new income through an enhanced level of service to operators of private aircraft including corporate jets.
Commissioners are also examining the development potential of airport-owned land adjacent to the airfield and the increased sale of jet fuel in high volume at discount prices. Additionally, the airport is actively exploring the installation of solar panels on the airfield, in cooperation with the Cape and Vineyard Electric Cooperative and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), to produce electricity and reduce energy expenses.
A major priority for the commission is the finalization of a development agreement among the airport, the Town of Barnstable and the Cape Cod Commission. Late in 2012, the Massachusetts Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs approved the airport's final environmental impact report, a key element of its long-range master plan and development agreement. You may read an executive summary of the report highlighted elsewhere on this page.
Another priority for the year is the need to establish new air service to destinations beyond Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and Boston. The airport commission is in active collaboration with the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce to advertise and market its facilities and services to new carriers serving business travelers and visitors; additionally, it is exploring other options for air service development.
The airport wants to build community support for its initiatives and remains engaged with business leaders, elected officials, civic groups and its neighbors in the community. It maintains an active media relations program to communicate its objectives and programs to citizens using print, broadcast and online social media. It is involved with town and regional planners who are working to improve access to and around the airport by implementing the Hyannis Access Study.

Following their acclaimed documentary about a controversial death in a small town, Brother's Keeper, filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, explore another criminal case with even more complex strands. When the mutilated corpses of three eight-year-old boys are found near a wooded stream in West Memphis, AR, suspicion falls on a trio of young men, Jessie Miskelly Jr., Jason Baldwin, and Damian Wayne Echols. Stories that the men listened to hard rock music and fashioned themselves satanists fueled speculation of their involvement in the crime. Unlike Brother's Keeper, in which the citizens of the upstate New York town rallied to protect one of its own, an elderly man accused of killing one of his siblings, Paradise Lost portrays West Memphis as split on the question of guilt. Berlinger and Sinofsky offer equal time to both sides, but as this long and absorbing film rolls on, it becomes clear that they're skeptical of the prosecution's case, especially because it rests so heavily on an confession extracted from the mentally challenged Miskelly, and suspicious of the stepfather of one of the victims, who seems to relish the spotlight a bit too much. Paradise Lost 2: Revelations, a sequel, follows the case deeper into the appeals process. ~ Tom Wiener, Rovi

For the follow-up to In the Company of Men, the misogyny-on-parade debut that became an out of nowhere indie hit, auteur Neil LaBute wrote and directed a piece that gives more equal representation to the shortcomings of both genders than his earlier film. Three men stand on one side: Cary (Jason Patrick), a womanizing doctor who rehearses make-out lines and keeps his body almost grotesquely ripped; Jerry (Ben Stiller), a self-obsessed theater instructor who chews over every emotion like a morsel of dessert; and Barry (Aaron Eckhart), a man grown soft in his marriage to a woman who can't satisfy him sexually as well as he can himself. On the other side we have three equally well-defined women: Terri (Catherine Keener), a writer/editor whose prefers to keep words out of the bedroom, much to the chagrin of live-in beau Jerry; Mary (Amy Brenneman), a freelance writer whose attempts to find her own sexual fulfillment with both husband Barry and paramour Jerry meet with a similar lack of success; and Cheri (Nastassja Kinski), an art assistant who meets most of the other characters one by one at a gallery but directs her sylph-like affections in an unexpected direction. The lies, double-crosses, and confrontations between these characters resolve into a sinisterly comic indictment of the very idea of romantic fulfillment. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Thrash metal pioneers Metallica are one band who've never been afraid of a challenge, but in 1998 they tried an experiment that surprised both fans and casual observers -- they performed a special concert with the San Francisco Symphony, in which the group and conductor/arranger Michael Kamen brought together the group's raw guitar firepower with the dynamic range of a full orchestra. A camera crew was on hand to record the event, and Metallica: S&M captures the full 150-minute concert in its entirety. The band performs two new songs,

Director John Woo brings Hong Kong-style martial arts action to this comic book-flavored sequel that eschews the complicated plot and political maneuverings of its predecessor in favor of pure, adrenaline-charged thrills. Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt, an operative for the top-secret government agency IMF (Impossible Missions Force). Fellow agent Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) has gone rogue, stealing a sample of a deadly synthetic virus named Chimera that could rapidly wipe out the world's population. Ambrose's plan is to sell Chimera to the highest bidder in exchange for shares of stock in the winner's company. Summoned by the new IMF chief (Anthony Hopkins in an uncredited cameo role), Ethan is assigned to recruit the help of Ambrose's former lover Nyah Nordoff-Hall (Thandie Newton), a gorgeous woman who left Ambrose broken-hearted and who may be able to quickly regain his confidence. Once he meets and spends a night with Nyah, however, Ethan is smitten, and now must both capture Ambrose and keep Nyah alive as she infiltrates a nest of vipers. Sophisticated disguises, gun battles, and high-speed chases are the order of the day, very much in the James Bond mold. Mission: Impossible 2 is based on a story by Star Trek: The Next Generation writers Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga, with a script polish by Robert Towne. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

In the 1980s, Metallica was the biggest thrash metal band in the world, serving up blistering hard rock that was faster and louder than anything the mainstream was willing to accept. That changed in 1991 with the release of the group's self-titled fifth album (often described as "the Black Album" for its black-on-black cover art), which put just enough polish on the group's sound to reach new listeners without compromising the band's musical intensity or outlaw image. Metallica sold 12 million copies, and its runaway success made Metallica the biggest hard rock band in the world. This documentary from the Classic Albums series takes an in-depth look at the production of this metal masterpiece, featuring exclusive interviews with all four members of the group as well as producer Bob Rock. Also included are the five videos created for songs from the album -- "Enter Sandman," "Sad but True," "The Unforgiven," "Nothing Else Matters," and "Wherever I May Roam." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Award-winning filmmakers Bruce Sinofsky and Joe Berlinger (of the Paradise Lost films on HBO) direct Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, a documentary about rock stars in therapy. After 20 years of heavy metal, a few members of Metallica decide to hire psychologist Phil Towle to work out some group tensions during the making of their album St. Anger. Most of the therapy sessions involve drummer Lars Ulrich and singer/guitarist James Hetfield, with some input from guitarist Kirk Hammett. Also included are former band members Dave Mustaine of Megadeth and ex-bassist Jason Newsted. The band works through difficulties in group dynamics, personal demons, and relationship issues. The film shows recording sessions as well as therapy sessions, including the recruitment of bassist Robert Trujillo. The much-publicized controversies of Internet file-sharing and Hetfield's drug rehabilitation are also discussed. In 2003, Metallica released the album St. Anger on Elektra Records. Metallica: Some Kind of Monster was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004 as part of the American Spectrum competition. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Heavy metal might be regarded as the High School Shop Class of rock & roll -- there's a lot going on there, but most folks don't credit the participants with being either very smart or terribly ambitious. Not everyone feels that way, though, and filmmaker, anthropologist, and heavy metal enthusiast Sam Dunn offers an insider's look at the music and subculture of metal with this documentary, created in collaboration with filmmakers Scot McFadyen and Jessica Joy Wise. Metal: A Headbanger's Journey examines the history of hard rock's extreme wing, offers a look at the various subsections within the heavy metal pantheon (from innocuous hair metal bands such as Poison and Warrant to the homicidal lunatic fringe of Norwegian black metal); examines the sociology of metal in terms of class, race, gender and economics; celebrates the music with a nod toward its underestimated intelligence as well as its physical power; and allows members of such landmark bands as Black Sabbath, Slayer, Motörhead, Iron Maiden, White Zombie to speak for themselves about their work. Metal: A Headbanger's Journey received a fist-pumpingly enthusiastic reception for its premiere screenings at the 2005 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Of all the bands that emerged from the thrash metal underground in the 1980's, none rose higher than Metallica -- and few bands have ever accomplished so much while compromising so little. While staying true to their creed of hard, fast, intense heavy metal, Metallica have toured the world's largest and most prestigious venues and sold tens of millions of records, and are still going strong nearly twenty-five years after they were formed. Metallica: The History of Metallica (also released as Metallica: Out Of The Loop) is a documentary on the band's long, hard climb to the top, featuring interviews with members of the group and those close to them.

Explore the blistering rise, brutal fall, and lasting impact of thrash metal in this documentary focusing on some of the hardest and heaviest music of the 1980s and early 1990s. The time was the 1980s, and a collection of ambitious young bands from Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and New York City were seeking to create a new and exhilarating brand of music. The result was a scene so extreme and powerful that the poseurs were separated from the hardcore fans as soon as each concert started. There was no doubting those who were in it for real, and from Anthrax and Exodus to Slayer, Megadeth, and Metallica, it seemed as if thrash was a musical force to be reckoned with. But that all changed in the early 1990s, when a shifting musical landscape revealed grunge, not thrash, to be the dominant form of "hard rock." Though a precious few trash bands like Metallica would still go on to achieve unprecedented levels of fame, most would simply languish and fade away as the grunge trend took over. Despite the fact that the scene had changed, the music would live on through the artists and fans who never forgot the thrill of the thrash. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

When a San Francisco homicide detective with a keen eye for criminal profiling is fired for botching the arrest of a notorious serial killer, his subsequent effort to reinvent himself as an insurance claims case-investigator leads him to study a series of perplexing wrongful deaths in this comedy starring Joseph Fiennes, Winona Ryder, Tim Blake Nelson, and Wilmer Valderrama. Michael Burrows (Fiennes) isn't your typical detective. Though Detective Burrows is a paranoid obsessive-compulsive who faints at the sight of blood, his remarkable insight into the criminal mindset has nevertheless made him a valuable asset to the San Francisco Police Department. When Detective Burrows' idiosyncrasies allow the feared "North Beach Killer" to elude capture, however, he is fired by his superiors. Upon offering his unique skills to a doubting insurance company, Burrows is given 30 days in which to prove he can sort out the legitimate claims from the false ones. Now, as Burrows makes for the Midwest in the company of hard-nosed field agent Siri Tyler (Ryder), the film student (Valderrama) who has been following the former detective for his thesis follows the pair as they investigate a series of forehead-slapping deaths, including that of a powerful executive who attempts to prove that his high-rise window is unbreakable and a pair of English tourists who fatally misinterpret the "cruise control" function on their rented RV. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Central Chronicle
The recently published Human Development Report 2007 warns a temperature rise between 3 and 4 degree would displace 340 million through flooding and drought. The melting glaciers would make drinking water scarce for 1.8 billion people. The world is left with only ten years to change course. The United Nation's Climate Change Conference at Bali which is scheduled from 3 to 14 December 2007 would ask the rich countries to cut carbon emission by 80% and the developing nations by 20% before 2050. The Report shows how natural disasters between 2000 to 2004 has affected 262 million people across the world out of which 98% belong to the developing nations.
Climate change, which would cause large scale destruction to earth happens due to the simple reason of pursuing a few mono sectors for growth of economy. Industry sector generates immense wealth at the cost of immense damage to the environment. The best example is China. According to World Bank report China has 16 of the world's most polluted cities. Over 70% of water in China's seven major rivers system is unsuitable for human contact. The per head water resources in China is among the lowest in the world. Here the market economy, which was hyped to help mankind maximises the profit of the global traders. Country with technology advancement holds the key for price monopoly as the new technology always sales at a premium.
In the 18th century, Economist Adam Smith was not knowing his market economic theory would be practiced by greedy vested interest global traders, who have nothing to do with human sufferings. Today more and more people are facing exclusion in health and education sectors. Market economy has not helped them. Majority of people in the developing nations cannot afford to diagnose complicated diseases. Volumes of reports prepared by various agencies have shown how poverty and human sufferings has increased across the world.
The pursuit of wealth and power among the world leaders is so aggressive that it reenacts Wahab chasing the Mobydick, the white whale in the midst of danger. The economy of scale as prescribed by Adam Smith cuts the cost of production to increase the scale for accumulation of wealth, which strikes at the very root of sustainable economic development. Industries should discreetly produce things keeping in view of the seriousness of global warming. Why there should be the mass production of plastic baskets if bamboo basket can meet the domestic requirement. The economy of scale reduces the cost of plastic baskets and helps disappear bamboo craft from the market. When Bamboo basket disappears people permanently depend on plastic products. There are hundreds of bio-degradable utility and decorative items available for human use. Hundreds of biodegradable items have disappeared from countries across the world.
In the 19 th century poverty was so acute in western and European nations that they had no option but to adopt industrialization. Terrible poverty in England lead to large scale riot and arson which is known as bloody Sunday of 1887. War ravaged western and European nations tried to escape from debt and inflation after the Second World War and resorted to market economy for wealth and power without understanding its ethic and long term impact. As a result the world has witnessed the death of many natural sectors across the world in the aggressive pursuit of market economy. In the 17 th century, 80 percent people in Europe depended on agriculture and natural sector. In the 19 the century the number had reduced to 7% only.
It is suicidal to produce everything in industry. Market economy, which aimed to serve mankind, gave birth an economy of greed to end mankind. Mahatma Gandhi rightly said the world has enough to satisfy the need of every person but not the greed. The pursuit of wealth for power has become so dominating that developed nations hardly see reason in changing their course inspite of the clear warning from the climate scientists that the world has ten years left to change its course. So far there has been hundreds of conferences held across the world to save environment and volumes of reports on climate change gather dust. When the world has only ten years left let us hope the Bali Conference on climate would bring some change.

Council to collect redundant green recycling bins deemed 'magnet for litter'
5:19pm Monday 25th June 2012 in News By Hermione Wright
Redundant green recycling boxes deemed a "magnet for litter" will be collected by Haringey Council now they have been replaced by larger bins.
However, at this stage, only households affected by the service changes in March – streets in Highgate, Muswell Hill, Fortis Green, Alexandra and parts of Hornsey, Noel Park, Bounds Green, Woodside and Crouch End - will have their boxes picked up by waste contractor Veolia.
A statement released by Haringey Council today said: "Now that residents in the first phase of the improved recycling services have had time to get used to the changes, we're happy to remove the unwanted green boxes."
The council is in talks with Veolia about getting the boxes collected and says the removal will be underway as soon as possible.
Councillor Jim Jenks said: "Abandoned green recycling boxes just become a magnet for litter and dumped rubbish, so it is essential the Council removes them."
The changes to bin collections in the borough have attracted much controversy since their introduction three months ago.
Recycling is still collected weekly and the council has provided larger 240 litre wheelie bins to each of the households affected by the changes.
However, general rubbish is picked up once a fortnight rather than the previous weekly collection, leading to concerns that the borough's streets are looking untidy and plagued with wheelie bins.
All of Crouch End, Hornsey, Bounds Green Noel Park, Woodside, Harringay, Bruce Grove, Stroud Green and West Green were hit by the changes almost two weeks ago.
Parts of St Ann's, White Hart Lane and Tottenham Green were also affected.

Charles V. Stanford (b. Dublin, Ireland, 1852; d. Marylebone, London, England, 1924) composed ENGELBERG as a setting for William W. How's "For All the Saints" (505). The tune was published in the 1904 edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern with no less than six different musical settings. It is clearly a fine congregational hymn but also a stunning choral anthem when used with some of the additional settings that Stanford supplied.
ENGELBERG is an attractive, energetic melody with many ascending motives, designed for unison singing with no pauses between stanzas. Try using other instruments in addition to organ (as stanza 5 suggests). Accompanists could play the third and fourth stanzas in a more subdued manner and then play the climactic final stanza with great strength and vigor.
A distinguished composer and teacher of composition, Stanford began his musical career at an early age. Before the age of ten he had composed several pieces and given piano recitals of works by Handel and Bach. He studied at Queen's College, Cambridge, England, as well as in Leipzig and Berlin. At the age of twenty-one he was asked to become organist at the famous Trinity College, Cambridge. At that time he also began a prestigious career in conducting, which included appearances with the London Bach Choir from 1885 to 1902, and he traveled widely in England, Europe, and the United States. His teaching career was equally impressive. Stanford taught composition at both the Royal College of Music and Cambridge University; among his students were Ralph Vaughan Williams (PHH 316) and Gustav Holst. He was knighted in 1902. Stanford wrote over two hundred compositions in nearly all musical genres, including symphonies, operas, chamber music, and songs. Most notable in his church music are several complete services, anthems, and unison hymn tunes.

After seven weeks of colorful witnesses and rancorous testimony, the jury began deliberations Tuesday in the trial of alleged crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger.
Eight men and four women on the federal court panel have the monumental task of processing testimony from drug traffickers, extortion victims, gangsters, families of alleged victims and shooting victims, along with more than six hours of closing arguments.
Bulger is accused of 19 killings and 13 counts of extortion and money laundering during a 20-year "reign of terror" that defined South Boston from the early '70s through 1995, when Bulger fled Boston.
Jurors deliberated for six hours Tuesday before court was suspended for the day shortly after 4:30 p.m. ET. Deliberations are scheduled to resume Wednesday at 9 a.m.
Jurors will have to decide if the government has proven its case and if Bulger is guilty of the alleged crimes "beyond a reasonable doubt."
"You must decide which evidence to believe and which witnesses are true. You can believe some, or all, or none," U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper told the jurors Tuesday, adding a cautionary instruction for government witnesses who have entered into plea deals for immunity and lesser sentences.
Casper advised that jurors weigh the potential that these witnesses "may have a motive to make up stories." Simultaneously, jurors are advised not to draw inferences from a witness's guilty plea.
Plea deals for gangsters
In their closing arguments Monday, defense attorneys attacked the credibility of gangsters who became star witnesses for the prosecution, testifying under immunity after they learned Bulger was an informant for the FBI for nearly two decades.
Prosecuting attorney Fred Wyshak on Monday defended the government's unsavory plea deals with those gangsters, three of whom implicated Bulger in the 19 murders and various acts of extortion.
"The government didn't choose them, Bulger chose them," Wyshak said.
"The only thing worse than making a deal with (former hit man) John Martorano would have been not making a deal with John Martorano." Wyshak said the government "held its nose and made the deal."
Prosecutors called 63 witnesses during the course of the trial, with the defense bringing only 10 to the stand. Martorano testified for both sides, making a total of 72 witnesses over 35 days.
As he presented his closing argument Monday, Wyshak called Bulger one of the most "vicious, violent and calculating criminals to ever walk the streets of Boston."
The prosecution took close to three and a half hours for its closing. The defense took over two and a half hours to make its case, then the prosecution had the final word in a rebuttal.
Defense attorney J.W. Carney summed up his case by questioning the credibility of prosecution witnesses, some of whom came to court with extensive criminal resumes and who had worked out deals with the government in exchange for testifying against Bulger.
"If you cannot say in your deliberation that I personally can believe (prosecution witnesses) beyond a reasonable doubt, then the government cannot prove its case about the alleged murders," Carney told the jury.
"The government is buying the testimony of these witnesses. The currency used here (is) how much freedom someone is going to get. What the government can pay the individual is the individual's freedom," Carney continued.
Earlier, Wyshak said Bulger and his partner "plotted, they schemed, they robbed they murdered together, they were also informants together."
Prosecutors contend Bulger was an FBI informant who used protection from rogue agents as he continued his life of crime. Defense attorneys have argued Bulger was not an informant, and that FBI bungling was key in the case.
"If there is one thing you heard during this trial, it's how secretive that relationship is," Wyshak said to the jury Monday. "The last thing a criminal wants ... is for people to know he's an informant."
But he also said that it "doesn't matter whether or not Bulger is an FBI informant when he put the gun to the head of Arthur Barrett and pulled the trigger." Arthur "Bucky" Barrett died after being shot in the head in 1983.
"It's not about whether or not the FBI in Boston was a mess," he said. "... It's about whether or not the defendant is guilty of crimes charged in the indictment."
Families of the victims were in court every day of the trial. The wife of one of the victims shouted "You're a coward!"
The defense rested its case Friday with no rebuttal from the government. In its weeklong presentation, Bulger's lawyers tried to cast doubt on who killed two of the 19 victims, both of them women. The defense also attempted to shift the blame onto the FBI, specifically agents who either did nothing or did too little to prevent several killings.

With Valentine's Day being yesterday, I figure a few of us might have gone out on dates, perhaps to the movies. And when I think of movies, I think of popcorn.
I also have this quirk that I like to eat my popcorn just a teeny bit burnt (but not completely burnt). So I put two and two together and voila, here's my latest Top 5 List. (It's scary diving into my thought process, isn't it?)
Why you should eat burnt popcorn (or slightly burnt popcorn)…
5. The smell is good for clearing the house when you need a moment of silence.
4. Potential free popcorn at the movie theater (cha-ching).
3. Low-calorie popcorn = no flavor. Your taste buds need something to cling to.
2. Carcinogens? That's the same thing as Craisins, right?
1. No one else can stand the taste…How else would you get the whole bag to yourself?
How do you like your popcorn? How did you celebrate V-Day this week?

Free to Choose follows one of the most obvious lines in the Fortress--2 pitches of airy and aesthetic arete climbing. Pitch 1 (95 feet, 5.6/5.7) follows 9 bolts up a unique, 3-feet wide knife-blade arete. Cross the gully and belay from bolts. Pitch 2 (85 feet, 5.8) follows 8 bolts up the ever-steepening arete to a dihedral and finishes on a ledge with bolts. 2-rappels with a 60-meter rope will get you down.
Free to Choose climbs the left-hand arete of the right-most slab at the Fortress. See photo for location.
All bolts are 1/2" Rawl-style expansion bolts (except for two 13mm Fixe Triplex bolts)
As one might expect, Free to Choose will take some time and traffic to clean up perfectly...but it will. This is some of the hardest and best Central Coast sandstone I've climbed on. Until then, there is still lichen and a little loose rock.
I've lead the first pitch of this twice now (2nd outing we just did the first pitch to get to the other climbs). It's gotten a little bit cleaner between times so it should just continue to improve and I think it will end up being a nice beginner lead climb.
I climbed this route today for the n-th time. It is really cleaning up nicely. I must say though, the second pitch feels like it is getting harder. The moves through the fourth and fifth bolts felt like 5.9 to me.
I felt like the 2nd pitch was a little above 5.8 as well. Classic arete, climbs smooth, but the 5.8 is misleading.
Yes, cleaning up nicely. Fun and balancey. I'd say 5.8+ because the holds are there, it's just a weight shift issue through that second pitch crux. (Are you sure you can't do this route with a 50m rope? Seems a lot shorter.)
Jeff - you might be able to rap down P2 with a 50 meter rope - I have not tried, but there was quite a bit of rope left with a 60 meter. However, to rap down P1 a 60 meter rope will just barely get you down to terra firma.
With a broken hold midway up the second pitch, this may now be a 5.9 climb.
Climbed this last weekend. Be mindful of rockfall as this route is still a bit loose. Lead both pitches and agree on a 5.9 rating for the second pitch. Great rock that dried out from the recent rain quicker than the wall at Potrero.
Climbed this on 4/14/2008, now that part of the second pitch has broken off clipping the 4th bolt is very barndoor'ish lack of a good left foot makes this clip very intense, blowing this clip would result in a pretty serous fall. add 1/2 a grade just for clipping this bolt. 9+
I lead the first pitch and thought it was contrived. I didn't like being 50' off the ground on the right side, but 3' off the ground on the left side, but I was keeping an open mind. Then my nephew lead the 2nd pitch. 5.9 for sure. Was starting to like it but then ran into the last 30' of the route. The whole right side of the route is ready to fall off on the top part. It shuddered, shook, vibrated, made that hollow sound, and then the belay was set on top of a pile of loose blocks. I like adventure climbing, so I can accept it, but I'm hoping there are better routes at this crag.
Climbed this route on sunday 8/16/09. Very fun climb. Must have seen some traffic as it has cleaned up very nicely, with little loose rock and lichen. The second pitch is great! More difficult (5.9?) than the first pitch. There is a scary big block on the right at the top of the second pitch. It is literally hanging off the face of the arete. Within the next few years, or maybe just one heavy rain season, it will surely topple down the mountain. I just don't want to be at the base when that 2-ton bomb comes crashing down.
The top of this route is equipped with Metolius Rap Hangers--thick, oversized hangers that are designed to have the rope fed directly through the hanger for rappels.
Can easily be climbed in a single, 140' pitch with no rope drag. The first 60' of climbing is no harder than about 5.0, but the last 80' is good. The bolting is excessive in my opinion.
Only climbed the first pitch since we were headed over to PIH. This was a nice introduction to Fortress Climbing. I thought P1 was more like 5.7 but it was my first climb at the Fortress so it's hard to tell. It is a bit weird climbing with an 8' drop on your left and a 40' drop off to your right. The first pitch is clean and solid. Bolts were available whenever you needed them. It certainly has value as an approach pitch to PIH. Note - The traverse over to PIH is a bit exposed and loose but easy.
I believe the reason for the close bolts is to protect the leader and follower as a swinging fall off the arete wouldn't be too fun. I liked all the bolts, but still don't like the rock. The crux is trusting your holds; I kept telling my belayer "watch out when/if I step on this hold".
Nice intro climb into the fortress. Great site. Fun approach. My partner and I were stoked to learn about this area from Mountain Project a month ago. There's a bit of loose rock up at the top of the 2nd pitch so it may be nice for the belayer to wear a helmet. 2nd pitch is when things get a little more challenging. Once I got to the third bolt it was like sticking my head in a wind tunnel. Was tough to communicate with my belayer. Overall it appears to be a bit more cleaned up now. It was over 100 degrees so the wind felt pretty good but it did dry us out a bit.
I agree this is an excellent intro for The Fortress. The first pitch is 5.5-ish but was surprisingly fun and the rock is great. I don't agree that it is "contrived" since it is the logical route to access the next level and is not something most people would want to solo. The bolting seems fine considering this is an easy moderate with a potential for an ugly swing if you come off. Kinda want to take a broom up for the little traverse next time. Pitch 2 has great exposure and fun climbing. I agree you need to be very wary of loose rock. Following, I cleaned a dinner-platter guillotine flake off that literally landed directly on the belay stance but that hazard is gone now. I also noticed some hollow stuff at the top, but it's easy to pick and choose solid holds if you keep a cool head. Extra bolts seem warranted on a climb like this which is still "evolving" (putting it in nice terms). All in all still gets a good rating in my book in spite of it's flaws. A worthy adventure with a great summit. Edit to add: We actually just rapped directly from the summit to the gully/base of PIH for our second climb. Some loose rock, bushes and dirt off that side, so use caution if there are people below.

Pope Francis is being painted as a humble and simple man, but his past is tinged with controversy surrounding topics as sensitive as gay marriage and political atrocities.
Questions linger about Francis' actions during the nation's dark days: the so-called Dirty War, when Argentina was ruled by dictators. The gay marriage issue came to the forefront during Francis' political fight with Argentina's president.
The conservative pontiff may hold firm on some issues, experts say, but he may be flexible on others.
"If you think that (Francis) isn't going to change anything, you're wrong," said Gustavo Girard, a retired doctor who knew Francis during his early years in the priesthood. "But is he going to approve of gay marriage tomorrow? No."
Don't be surprised, Girard said, if the new pope shows flexibility on contraceptives, but don't expect him to budge on the Catholic Church's opposition to abortion.
There's been no shortage of praise for Francis as a passionate preacher and pragmatic man who prefers public transportation to private cars. It goes to his reputation as an independent thinker. But look deeper into Francis' history to see a more complicated man who's been formed by the times he's lived in.
Dark times
Possibly the darkest period during Francis' rise to power took place when he served as the nation's top Jesuit.
In 1976, during Argentina's dictatorship, the navy kidnapped priests Orlando Yorio and Francisco Jalics. Some have accused Francis, then provincial superior for the Society of Jesus, of not doing enough to assert his influence and free them. They were found five months later.
The incident led to rumors and allegations that Francis was complicit in the dictatorship's appalling atrocity -- that he didn't do enough to expose it and perhaps was even partly responsible for the priests' prolonged detention, said Jim Nicholson, a former U.S. ambassador to the Holy See.
Although the allegations against Francis have never been proved, they continue to haunt him, so much so that the human rights group Center for Legal and Social Studies in Argentina opposes Francis' selection as pope.
Situations relating to the priests' kidnappings "have not been clarified," said the group's director, Gaston Chillier.
Many of the allegations against Francis were researched by Argentine journalist Horacio Verbitsky, who wrote a book about the church's role during the dictatorship.
In a 2010 column, Verbitsky alleged that Francis had lied under oath during an investigation into the theft of babies from prisoners during the dictatorship.
Francis testified that he never knew about the baby-stealing until after the dictatorship had fallen, Verbitsky wrote, but a victim Verbitsky interviewed claims that Francis knew about it at the time. She said she had written to Francis about it.
Nicholson said there's no evidence to support the allegations.
The Vatican pushed back Friday against the accusations. The Rev. Federico Lombardi, a Vatican spokesman, dismissed the claims as false and defamatory.
"The campaign against (Jorge Mario) Bergoglio is well known and goes back to many years ago. It was promoted by a defamatory publication," Lombardi said at a Vatican news conference, using the name that Francis used before he became pope.
Argentine judicial authorities questioned Bergoglio once, but nothing was imputed against him, Lombardi said, adding that Bergoglio denied the allegations against him.
"His role is well noted on how he promoted reconciliation in Argentina," he said.
