A good way to specify cleanliness is to ask, on average when you stand in one place and look around, how long does it take to see something. The Pit is now at around 15 to 20 seconds. For desert terrain that is really good. Only when you have duff on the ground does it get longer.

Hey Jstan
REALLY ?
For desert terrain ?
The Pit is someones property that doesn't sound that good
Where, do you live? Downtown LA ?
When I walk out into my yard I could stand for hours or days without seeing trash, not seconds
Or across the street to BLM land and still no trash
Or my neighbors yard, still no trash
Must be fun to walk by The Pit
The pit still sucks

Eric:
My ultimate goal is to work Alta Loma 150 feet out from the road all the way to Yucca Valley. Wasn't that some fun we had on Rt. 120 in Yosemite? You got all of twenty big bags into your van. That had to have been an all-time record.

And I still remember Jingy sidehilling all day in sandals. He must have been leaving blood on the leaves.

Some of the best climbing days I ever had. Bar none.

Today I started working Alta Loma West of HillView. Grim. God how grim! Ten acres of it is on the market. If I buy it maybe I could skip it. Is hang dogging allowed?

I know Anders does not allow hang dogging. Maybe he won't see this.

Holy shyte!

Hey John!
" God how grim!"

Did you finally start talking to God? Glad to hear it!

I think I finally agree with Khanom for once. A Lot of the trash around the pit was distributed by the wind. When I was there I saw plastic swimming pools, bags, kids shirts, who knows what else go flying by when there's 50 mile an hour winds. It even blew the dumpster open and discarded about a quarter of the contents. I witnessed "happy girl"and "lame Larry" pick up a lot of it. What I can't stand is when the garbage trucks pick up peoples trash cans to dump them on top and the wind blows most of it away. Once I saw a garbage truck do this and about 1000 magazines and newspapers went blowing all down Sunset ave. so I chased him down and told him to look what he just did. He basically said F. Off.

I being from a pristine part of Northern California used to take great offense in seeing trash in the wilderness. Especially a cigar ette butt. But after living down here for 10 years I've decided not to dwell on the negative... Now I just say, O lookee another invention by man isn't it beautiful. After all won't it be a part of our fossil fuels someday?

Lame Larry? Harsh man. We call him Lucky Larry, cause he crushes it if you ever go climbing with him. Solos harder stuff then most folks climb. I know, he seems so laidback and all..

and he says Happie's chalk bags are the WAY!!! not sure why she won't make me a Hawaiian print one...

jstan sounds like a cool dude
Im not trying to say any thing bad about cleaning up the earth or the people that do
If someone owns this land its not open desert
I just think not seeing trash for a whole 15 seconds on someones land sounds like they are pigs
Great jstan is trying to keep the landowners trash Pit clean (Great)
Maybe the owner should not have a trash pit for homeless people
I have a 5 acre lot next to my house , it has no trash on it why is The Pit different
I moved here so I didn't have to see trash every 15 seconds
O ya
If the owner hadn't dug out the pit to hide from the neighbors there wouldn't be a place for the town Meth Heads to party where people and police cant see them
Great job of providing a place for Meth Heads
What's the point
The Pit still sucks

Ground-up, seems to me you are the one desperately seeking attention here.

He obviously doesn't know who jstan is, which basically means he's not even a climber.

Studly, Naahhh. I Love Larry> <
I'd even call him Studlly Larry!
We did some fun climbing at Beacon and Smith together that were pretty Studly..
I think he's called Lucky Larry because he's still lucky to be alive?
Seems like he gets hurt a lot. I started calling him lame Larry last winter, when he hung out in Cali. but he couldn't climb because he was always broken~

That bottom pic. cracked me up!! Is that Lamma Larry ?? LOL

You are right I guess I don't know jstan I'm just tired of hearing him toot his own horn

Any way Im getting tired of wasting my time talking to Posers like you
O ya

I don't know you either LOCKER But you sound like a real dick
Are you asking someone to hurt me ,it sounds like you are
Better watch your step
If you have a problem with me you should deal with it yourself (PUSSY) not ask others to hurt me

Maybe You, Dick ,Tucker and Mayville should all get together and Put up a Poser Rap Route
You could call it ( we wish we were real climbers not posers)
O Well I'm over it
I've wasted enough time on poser climbers
Peace

I'd give Jstan a pat on the back, a beer, a meal or what ever else I could help him out with. Would REALLY like to get out there and help him, Fonda and the rest of the crew trying to help the place out.
Peace

Hey Fonda, the place in any need of LABOR help, the fields are tended to, so I am freed up, so to speak.

Something about the high- desert air up there. It turns people into crusty, angry curmudgeons holed up in their compounds. If they're not clawing their way up some crumbling, ball-bearing-coated dummy-dome they got nothing else to do but troll on the internet. I doubt there's a qualified therapist within 100 miles. Give em a break. ;)

Picking on on our boy JStan does not earn brownie points though. The man is a living saint and an inspiration IMHO. Wish I didn't have stupid obligations keeping me elsewhere.

You gave Robert, Dave, and myself a real hand when we badly needed it. Without your help we were stuck.

Thank you.

I figured out who G-U is before today's posts. Should have known right away. I must be getting slow.

Edit:
JTM:
G-U is not a curmudgeon. He is an original.
