Doubtful. RURP posts some fairly clever stuff. Chuck

Thermarests suck for weight, but not for space. Much easier to thrash through slide alder with a thermarest tucked inside your pack than with one of those bigger foam pads strapped to the outside of your pack catching on all that stuff. Thermarests also good for when taking shit on the plane, like a trip to Red Rocks. My biggest POS piece is this rock-warrior cam. It's just about all frozen up after owning it one year, and placing it about 3 times. Chuck

get a haircut Chuck

er, ummm.... I guess I was whining. I originally stopped there but you edited your post to include this: quote: I just stated obvious facts and you dont agree I agree completely with your stated fact, that Jon and Tim will do as they wish. Well SO WHAT. It's THEIR board. [ 12-10-2001: Message edited by: chucK ]

Caveman, I can't believe what a whiner you are! Do you think Jon and Tim owe you anything? The more you whine about this shit, the more likely it is that J&T will just say, "F*CK IT. It's not worth the hassle", and just pull the plug. Please get real. Chuck

That ROOLZ I am much more relaxed now

It musta been something BAD in rock cop. I can't really figure it out. It seemed like the thread was proceeding in a fairly calm fashion the last post I saw. Was it some dickhead threatening DCramer while hiding behind a screenname? That's my guess. Are there any anonymous dickheads obviously missing since last week? It would be cool if you moderator-types just put the big LOCKED THREAD thing on instead of total deletion. I suppose that was probably already considered though, and this time it was just too bad to leave up. Us curious minds would at least like to see what one's gotta do to piss you off. I'm really curious to find out at least the nature of Bonzo's final infraction too. I saw some of that early thread. It was funny, but I guess quite offensive to some also. Can anybody who witnessed the offending posts before they were deleted fill me in VIA EMAIL. Please don't repost the crap. That would be bogus. The moderators put a lot of effort into this site. If they don't want something up there, I'll bet they got a good reason. Even if they don't have a good reason, I'm not gonna bitch about it (any more than the level of this post). Why don't some of you whiners yapping about censorship just start up your own damn website. It's obvious some of you got a lot of time on yer hands. So there,Chuck

Hey Jason, I've been hiking/climbing in WA for like 12 years now, and I've never had trouble with anybody being a dick. My feather have never been quote: ruffled . Not once!! I infrequently get the pleasure to wait behind a quote: large contigent of undertrained people "teaching" others how to climb , but I've never experienced lack of cordiality. Dude, maybe it's you, or not. Either way, a an obvious solution to your problem would be to go climb somewhere else. Glad I could help. Later,Chuck So me 'n marty was up to climb the tooth one day in a March. We were trying to get up around a big cornice at that pass south of pineapple. I was climbing up on the right and just made it to a traverse across choss. These mounties come charging right up below me and I'm telling them about this rock that's just dislodged and balanced against my shins. They just stare up at me and don't get helmets out or nuthin'. And then the rock lets go, and I yell, and they back off after that. So then, marty comes up and he's trailing their rope. Well, we rig a toprope for the mounties, but they aren't able to climb directly up the cornice. They don't want to do the choss traverse as it wouldn't be protected by the toprope. So, they ended up leaving the rope there and hiking all the way around through the pass further East. Meanwhile, marty 'n me climb up the Tooth in sunshine. When we rap on down, it's right through the ascending mounties, and now it's snowing! These guys were top notch all the way! Never a scowl.

Hey fellow posers sitting at the computer not skiing. I'm headed out to the UW Rock RIGHT NOW! C'mon out. I'll sandbag you, unless you're an old Rock veteran then you can sandbag me. Oh yeah, I'll be wearing a bright orange shirt. Introduce yourself. Chuck [ 12-09-2001: Message edited by: chucK ]

Sorry for the perceived malevolence. It's just that I've been hearing about these damn Two Terminated Terriers Terraces for so damn long ( Google doesn't even have the original[?]rec.climbing posts anymore) I felt I needed to go to extreme measures to find some closure on this issue. As for other provocative topics, where does this "Lucy" nickname come from? Is there some story behind this? Chuck

Hey! To you people that know how to work with these cool animated gifs. Can someone concatenate six of these beer-glass thingies together to give me a six-pack icon like that pictured above? I'll put it on my webpage somewhere so everyone can use it. I can't figure out how or if I can do it in Photoshop. Chuck

Canis Crag? What kind of a sissy name is that anyway? Sounds like an English teacher named it or something. Note that is does rhyme with anus Crag, or anus rag, shag, drag? You really oughta rename it Double Dead Dog Wall. That's what I think,Chuck

So god-damn you've all heard the fucking rants that "cigarette butts are trash, why don't smokers pick up after themselves" before,...but here's my juicy piece of shit new slant. I am the butt master. Last week I was climbing Silent Running (3 O'clock Rock) and from the fucking base all the fucking way to the fucking top of the fucking 5th pitch we got to fuckin' follow a continuous trail of sunflower-fuckin'-seed shells. I don't know why that bastard bugged my stupid ass so god-damn much, but after sitting with them piece of shits at every piece of shit belay and following their slimy path on every stinky pitch, that bastard began to grate on my stupid ass. Don't people know these are trash? Know this, you are a bitch. Them assmonkeys probably think seed shells are biodegradable and so god-damn that piece of shit's fucked-up to leave them piece of shits. Well TP is biodegradable too bitch-slapping, and TP biodegrades a whole shitload faster than those stripey little shells. I should break your anus. To the fucking dork who spewed that bastard's trash over five pitches of Silent Running, you're probably too ass-grabbing really fucking brilliant to figure out the fucking above argument so god-damn let my stupid ass just state that I'm NOT saying that that piece of shit's fucked-up to fuckin' leave your sorry used toilet paper about. I should cram your neck. I'm saying, stop spewing your sorry f****n' shells all over the fucking place. Have some class and rule on something else (or swallow) when you and your hand-job're out in the fucking woods. Thankyouverymuch,Chuck -------------------------------- Burned by the Burnmaker!* http://toy.thespark.com/burn *--------------------------------

Hey Cavedude, Post that topo of Scott's (Secret Crag????) to the group. You oughta!!!! That would get him. Chuck

My website (Chuck's Climbing Page) has been moved (or is that migrated?) due to the @home snafus. Here's the new URL(or you can just click my little home icon on my posts) http://home.attbi.com/~cspieker There's probably some new stuff on there since I last spammed this site about it. Check it out.

I saw on the news that two trees fell on some guy's car and he died at Mt. Rainier. chuck

Cavedude! You did Easter Tower? I've long wanted to try that. Sounds like you didn't like it? Care to elaborate? Chuck

Uhhh...I met Conrad Anker's parents once. My best time on the Tooth is 2:26 (official time between leaving the honey bucket to that point which you find out whether there's a notice of non-compliance on the windshield). I liked all that stoopid grunge shit BEFORE I moved to Seattle('90). Can drive from Seattle to the end of the Middle Fork road in under 2 hours. No moving violations in 18 years. Been on top of Big Snow Mountain 3 times, twice in the middle of the night. How's that? Chuck

Stoop, CascadeClimbers, stoop, and let us bathe our hands in Bonzo's blood up to the elbows, and besmear our swords. Then walk we forth, even to the marketplace, and waving our red weapons o'er our heads, let's all cry 'Peace, freedom, and liberty!'

You first dude. What's your dubious distinction(s)? Was it going to that ""DeWeeWee"" slide show? What's the record time on the Tooth? Chuck [ 11-19-2001: Message edited by: chucK ]

He walked all three in a year. There is no asterisk needed next to that statement.

The SI article says he took a 1.5 day break to do his taxes!
