Just wanted to warn everyone - we were climbing Paralysis on Sunday and got attacked by wasps. Their nest is hidden behind a flake, its about 20 feet off the belay on the 2nd pitch. These guys were angry and very aggressive in protecting their nest. They will leave you alone if you do just P1, but get close to their nest and you will get stung.

Those frigging white protestants ruin everything! Next time that happens, just tell them interest rates are dropping again. Wasps hate that!

Hey, how's the falcon situation at Poko? Has it been lifted? I can't remember if Paralysis was part of the "no-climb" area.

everything from Slime Line to the Great Dihedral is closed. Which is too bad cause I was dying to do the Great Dihedral. Paralysis is not in the closed area.

Ninjaslut - lol those darn WASPS are taking over... first its the suburbs now its our rock climbs!
