HEFEWIEZEN? any beer you need to put a piece of fruit in to make taste good, ain't worth drinkin'

I'm high on life asseyes

Oh yeah.... I had this total partner from hell experience. I'm lucky to just be alive...oh wait, I'm busy now, maybe I'll tell it later....

YEAH!!! WHAT FERN SAID!!!!! WHAT A BUNCH OF LAZY F88KS!!! This is a goddamned discussion board which is just perfect for telling great stories about partners you have wanted to kill!! Bronco...here's a beer to you ! YOU didn't ask people to relate their stories and then when asked to do the same made some lame ass "best over beers" excuse . WRITE YOUR STORIES LAME-O'S!!! ENUF WITH THE LAME EXCUSES. Oh, maybe your stories aren't that good after all. I'll listen to your stories if YOU are buying . maybe Or perhaps you are worried that the person you are slamming will read the story here? Oh.... I get it.

stepped up to MILF Speaking of MILF, we haven't heard from Michael Layton in a long time. How's he mending? He's still broken. He's got pin sticking out of both feet, on one of them, you'd expect to see guitar strings coming out, the pin have bulbous plastic ends like guiter pegs. It's painful to watch him struggle onto his crutches, feeble ass bastard, but he can still drink, even on the Percosets. The prognosis is good, though, he should be mended in 6-8 weeks. NECRO!!!!!

Yeah, urinal beer. Yech.

What the hell does that mean Are you saying that Hattie's, Latona and/or the Wedgewood Alehouse have dirty taps?

I will try to make it (late as usual). I prefer Latona to Hattie's though no biggie. Since Mattp, Paco, and I (oh and Dave) are the only ones expressing an interest, shouldn't we have it at the Wedgewood Alehouse?

This TR has Capt. Caveman written all over it. Nice job

FAST AND LIGHT !!! FAST AND LIGHT!!!!

HEY JUST IN CASE ANYBODY WANTS TO KNOW they got those zero cams ($47) and TCU's ($39) on discount at that Backcountry Gear vendor that advertises in the CC.com "hot deals" box. Ca-ching!

Have fun! We're all waiting for the trip report!

Reports that give conditions, beta, recommendations, warnings, pictures, insights into the "mind of the climber", tales of funny or strange occurrences, celebrity cascadeclimber sightings, and/or anything that at least disguises the "I did it", are welcome by me. Hell, this site is such a f'n soap opera (and resource for climbing partners), that I'm even interested in reading unabashed "I did it"'s.

It's the combo of the floppy stem and the bung-up factor that causes problems. Once the trigger device gets bunged up (a bit too frictiony) when you try to retract the cams, the stem just bends instead of the trigger pulling. PITA! When they are working well though, they are awesome.

TRASK IS A CRYBABY TATTLETALE!!!

The West Ridge Couloir is way cool (check it out in Beckey). You crampon up a deep couloir all the way to the West Ridge notch, then you get to do the best rock climbing part of the West Ridge to top it off. Probably better fun this time of year than the West Ridge proper.

Yeah, gators are cool. You don't need the convertible pant legs then (an effective layer, for Bill). Perhaps you guys' problem is that you use dark colored polypro. Seriously hot in the sun. Light colored is insulated and reflective, like that shit the evil Saudi's wear. People wearing all that dark-colored stuff out mountaineering don't get it, or are self-inflicted fashion victims, or both. Seriously, what's up with this Schoeller stuff? Are they some magical fabric that allows long pants to be as comfortable as shorts? Is this like the new Gore-Tex gearhead clothing of choice?

Hey Bill, The trick is, be able to accurately judge how warm it's gonna be before you start your hike. One rule of thumb (that the mounties ought to teach, but don't) is if you're comfortable standing at the car waiting for your partners to get ready, then you're dressed too warmly.

We got one of those body harnesses for the kid. It's confusing and we use it irregularly enough that I'm always taking forever to get the thing on my kid. It takes about 4 tries. I'm waiting for the first CC.com post from some witness who will report about me endangering my child taking him out climbing when I don't even know how to put on a harness. I like the Mike and Ike bribe. That 'd work like a charm for my kids.

I LOVE wearing the shorts over polypro thing, or even better, those ever trendy convertible pants over polypro. DIE DIE DIE FASHION POLICE!!!!

Maybe he's talking about the first pitch or two . Other than that, a 60m won't help anywhere. It's not long enough to get you to the top from Library Ledge. Maybe you should bring a 70m (For Sure) !!

Someone oughta bring some salt licks up there for those dang goats. That's what I'm gonna do.

Climbed at Bathtub Dome and the Condomorphine route last weekend. The bolts on CA are a crazy . Man, talk about a low stress climb . I've never seen anything like it. Bathtub Dome is cool. Quite a contrast. Those two 5.9 routes are . Heady leads.

That page has potential!!! Stacy Hatch? How about Starsky Hutch?
