Southern Id-dee-ho is downwind of Nv.
Consider the case of the Jerritt Cyn mine shutdown.
Measured mercury was measured in Idaho and linked directly to the smelters at the Nv mine.

An F4 going Supersonic at 15k creates a greater shock wave in the air than an 250kt Nuke at 100 miles.

Of similar significance, and perhaps not as well recognized a tremendous amount of the air over California (and of course Oregon) has arrived from China. Although this issue implies we are receiving their pathogens, worse, we are receiving an enormous amount of their industrial pollution. Read below.
“Estimates are that a third of California's air pollution and a fifth of Oregon's comes from China. Sensors in the Sierra Nevada Mountains have identified huge Chinese pollution clouds that traverse the Pacific.
“Every seven to 10 days, as the New York Times reports, a new coal-fired plant big enough to serve every household in San Diego comes on line in China, exporting more pollution to California and the Western United States than Schwarzenegger's draconian proposals could ever hope to eliminate.
“As a "developing" nation, China is exempt from the Kyoto agreement under which industrialized countries are trying to reduce their collective emissions of greenhouse gases. China burns 2,500 tons of coal and 210,000 gallons of crude oil per minute. It has plans for 2,200 additional coal generators by 2030.
Apparently this is common knowledge in environmental circles and appears all over the internet searches. Here it is excerpted from:

I was subjected to NINE sonic booms in one day,
in the Emigrant Wilderness no less.
Solstice, 1971.
At the end of the day, I got my first Northern Goshawk
sighting, so the net was on the plus side.

Fatty said: Sorry about the thread drift, back to tormenting DR. My Facelift project this year is to chop GU.
So that was a big fat fail then?

There was never a time in my life AFTER CHUCK (YEAGER)* when sonic booms were NOT reality here in Central California, until the govamint stepped in to do something. Remember getting the shift scared out of you as you watched the Mouse Club? And we used to jump up and run outside to see the source of the sound, miles away by then.
I don't know specifics, only what the internet tells me, like "The first law against sonic boom was placed by Santa Barbara, California in October 1967."
*A sound master would realize the times they are a-changin' and accept the scheme of Before Chuck or BC and After Chuck or AC, were it ever proposed. Hey, that's as valid as a stone master version with Pratt as the timeline divider.

It is strange (or is it just human) that on short, sharp routes a bolt appearing after an FA or an FFA, is considered a breach of manners and style, but then, on a long old route like this one in a remote area hardly anyone will know about much less repeat, the ethic still sticks with the leaders who care about style, and the bolt never gets placed, only a quondam removable stopper suffers, and the route's integrity remains intact, for what it's worth.
Seems death-wishy, somehow, but that's the nature of confronting ourselves in nature. It is, just like watching NASCAR is for some, I suppose, recreation. What is "fun" and what is "unethical" and "safe" are usually intertwined in our modern minds, but DR seems to have a clear understanding of it all, having had to earn his bread from such wisdom as he has accumulated through experience, making him "expert," giving him credentials...
Can't say anymore, don't hardly know DR, just his old-fashioned ethics. I wouldn't care if he got up or down, only that
he lives to climb another day
and maybe have another say.
And he brings them home alive.

Read 'em & weep (or not) archival bump.
Edit for clarity
One study found 1,647 people died of heart attacks from shoveling snow between 1990 and 2006.

Wow. I didn't notice the dates on this thread, then I got to Juan's post. Still miss that guy. We used to see him climbing quite a bit, then later on it was every week or so at the Starbucks on Chatsworth St. in Northridge.

Walked by Double Cross last weekend and found myself wondering where a good spot for the bolt would be.
If I get a chance, I'll ask DR about the radiation Sunday night.
