Justthemaid is that Plaidman or Tradman?
If it is the former I could use those Polish Grass Screws before Nov. 4th
I have a project in mind......
Do they look like this? I know some moss. Some of my best friends are moss.

Typo.. I fixed it. that was at you Plaid.
Edit to add.. it will be interesting to see how well those screws hold in a tuft of grass anchored only in mud and gravel. Those Pollacks are totally nuts BTW.

Maybe Poles and the Scottish folk are related somehow?
Maybe not.
If I want to get my blood up when climbing choss, ice, or moss

That red screw is what you're going to use for gear? Cool this is a whole area of climbing I don't know much about. I was half joking before, about using ice climbing gear in soft rock. I haven't climbed on the same kind of choss as you guys do. I thought of it in terms of 4th class climbing never did a hard choss route. In fact its hard to imagine climbing harder than 5.8 on holds that might break under body weight.

Don the above photo is of volcanic tuff similar to Smith Rock. The first time I did a trad route there I almost freaked cause it looked like mud.....
Well it is just PETRIFIED mud!
Then there is the basalt choss in the Columbia River Gorge. Here is another shot of Plaidman's Fally

HaHaHaHa! OK, that's all that matters! :-)
Ya know, the last time I drove by Beacon Rock there was this volcanoe
spewing crap over 6 states. That was an epic drive. I got two speeding
tickets that day - fooking tools had no sense of reality.
Trivia note: I've a FA on the erstwhile Mt St Helens that will never be repeated!

Ya know I took some of that ash back to Colorado with me after Mt. St. Helens blew up and sold it for money......fools. They didn't know that they were shoveling it up with front end loaders in places like Yakima and Spokane WA.

Woot! We may need more beer. or appropriate malt liquors.

That's a long road away, man. Choss can be found Much closer to home, though invites are always a good groove. 'Gracias.
Leslie Gulch calls you, man. Plaidman. That place needs some color.
