Dru

I don't remember anything after I left the party... I don't remember anything after that girl put those pills in my drink... I don't remember anything after the green light surrounded me...

nice sig jon!

If that's Caspar Peak it was climbed in the late 1980's about 5 minutes after the Fairley guide came out, ditto everything else in the Van Horlick drainage.

quote: Epilogue: The next day at the wedding we told Eric’s dad (a Bend local) of our adventure. He told us a story that made our name for the climb even more appropriate. Apparently a few years earlier, a guy killed his wife at this very same cliff. He told the police that he and his wife were climbing and had an accident which resulted in her death. But after bringing in some climbers to help the police investigate the guy’s story, police concluded that he’d murdered her, and tried to make it look like a climbing accident. Pope.... again influenced by the eiger Sanction... trying to get out of his 1st marriage?

A very attractive woman goes up to the bar in a quiet rural pub. She gestures alluringly to the bartender, who comes over immediately. When he arrives, she seductively signals that he should bring his face closer to hers. When he does so, she begins to gently caress his full beard. "Are you the manager?", she asks, softly stroking his face with both hands? "Actually, no," the man replies. "Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him," she says, running her hands beyond his beard and into his hair. "I'm afraid I can't," breathes the bartender. "Is there anything I can do?" "Yes, there is. I need you to give him a message," she continues, slyly popping a couple of her fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently. "What should I tell him?" the bartender manages to say. "Tell him," she whispers, "there is no toilet paper or hand soap in the ladies room. "

How dare Humar call himself greatest climber in world. Just cause he soloes M7 in death zone... I mean c'mon, the spray machines of Climbing and R&I have already proclaimed DAVE GRAHAM as worlds greatest climber. Jeez guys! And he doesn't smoke dope or do ungraded climbs like that annoying hippy Sharma, so his sponsors stay happy .

I was just commenting on Marek's heroic accomplishment - Dan was the one who brought spray into it (unless we consider than any mention of DL constitues spray in and of itself).

From the California-Mexico border town of Campo, California, the trail traverses the highest mountains and deserts via the High Sierra and Cascade ranges terminating at Monument 78, the US-Canadian border. Join us for an evening of wonderful slides and epic stories from Jeremy's walk through the searing Mojave, the bone chilling stream crossings and deep snow of the High Sierra and on into the lush greenery of the Pacific Northwest. As a disciple of traveling light, Jeremy will discuss preparations needed for such an adventure, including equipment he used and made along the way. Jeremy is a local climber and backpacker with numerous ascents and outings in the Cascades and Olympic Mountains.

Quick, who's gonna mention Christine Boskoff??

Maybe it was the French/Algerian "Free Afghanistan" hash the judges were smoking...?

This shot was taken weekend of Nov. 11. Anybody knowing who the two climbers finishing off the bolt ladder are, let me know. Also if anyody at UW knows Dan Perrakis' email I have some pix of him king swinging off of Scarface - send it to me in a PM and I will email them to him. PS Big thank you to the party who caught our thrown rope and threw it back

quote: Originally posted by ScottP: Mt Triumph? No. I will answer on Monday, no more yeses or nos until then.

Try this one. Only hint is, it is in the Cascades.

Beckey and Clarke arent even in the same category, Beckey is a climber and Clarke is a small-m mountaineer. the dude is so cool though. you got to meet him. a super freak of freaks. he called the route he did with peter croft, "the mule and the acrobat". then after he went back to camp peter soloed 3 more routes on the same 1000' tower that afternoon.

quit rubbing it in bastards, i dont get laid off till next year at the earliest!

People like him taking advantage of government resources give civil servants a bad name! This is precisely why the Liberals are cutting back services! Shit, as a teacher the only think I've gotten is an old Gordon Smail guidebook to the Chief from a school library which features these really cool illustrations of drunken vikings trying to belay and climb! More pictures Dru! i had to look out of the helicopter for deer. thats why i got sick. and i traded a smaill guide for beer once. "tyed off rurps and a lack of beer typify this gnarly horror show for wall freaks. a one-bouncer.".

quote: Originally posted by Alex: I think John Clarke and Freb Beckey should get into the BATTLE CAGE!!!! We could call it, [qb] Battle Cage: Pacific Northwest Legends! I bet Beckey would win. [ 02-15-2002: Message edited by: Alex ][/QB] it is like apples and oranges or clams and oranges... Clarke only ever roped up about 3X in his life but he climbed like 200 first ascents every year... all "John Clarke 3rd class", namely 5.4-5.6... dude can outwrestle a grizzly bear and dig like a wolverine...and he smells like a goat... one time David Hughes (the old CAJ editor)even gave him some fancy shiny lycra 'cuase he was sick of always seeing some pictures of him in the same white polypro with holes in it.
