Well jBoy I wasn't talking multiplication I was talking numerology, like (6(66)6) or 666 to the 6th power or whatever. Just like people don't say 16 they say "4 by 4". But whatever! I'm going back to reading my Aleister Crowley biography.

I'm in. I am an "award winning writer"!!!!

6666 is like 666 6 times!

"We are in the desert. Get it - desert? It doesn't rain in the desert." said by my partner during a 3-day storm in J Tree, only hours before a flash flood ran through our campsite and swamped our tent.

This should be post 6666 on this forum. Say you love Satan!

From memory, the other soloing on acid quote is from Middendorf article, not Slater. ("Walt and I did a lot off days of taking hallucinogens and soloing. Walt was definitely better at that than I was" or words to that effect) Slater was a straight-edger, he didn't even drink, according to the Sherman article anyways.

"So soft.... and wooly" Lambone, Viktor is your new competition!

"There is no problem which cannot be solved by ignoring it." "What part of 'Fuck off and die' don't you understand?" Cracks shown as 'fist' on topos are usually offwidths, but fortunately sometime cracks shown as 'OW' on topos are just fist cracks. If you take heavy raingear, it won't rain. If you don't take it, it will. Likewise in reverse with sunscreen. If you take both it will be misty and hazy. "No one gets over their homophobia faster than two guys with only T-shirts and shorts at an unplanned alpine bivi." "Don't ever go for a hike with your ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend unless you like to suffer." and my all time favorite "When you are 80 and telling stories to your grandkids how impressed do you think they're gonna be by a story about how you stayed at work on some sunny Friday and got a start on next week's progress report?"

Ted, I'd go for something with an old school bend like the Pulsar (get the evolution and you can change shafts around!!). The new curved shafts like on the Quark etc. are too tough to shaft plunge in neve. On the steeper stuff though, a pure mtn. axe with a straight shaft can be a bitch to swing. Try both (borrow from a climbing buddy if you can, or rent)and go with what you prefer. Those long mtn axes are nice for probing for crevasses though, and in the slop the extra length can make an axe belay that much safer.

Pope, I thought Dwayner traded you in for a pack of smokes!

Lambone's lady? "Lucky ewe"!!!!

Yes, only ugly people are allowed to climb with Adamson. It's so he can look good by comparison. Aidan, this is why pretty girls at high school dances always have a fat friend nearby.

"You don't need a rope for that route" "I'm an experienced mountaineer" "Oh yeah, I can tell you all about that route. Done it tons of times." "Say, would you guys mind if I tied in on your rope for your summit push? I'm getting a bit too nervous about these crevasses to be soloing." "Naah, this rock is totally solid." "Cotton kills, but I'd rather be a good looking corpse than wear polyester."

F!@ked looks like it should be pronounced "flaked", like f!@ked chunk tuna in light brine. [This message has been edited by Dru (edited 07-31-2001).]

Beck, you know Conrad Anker???? Wassup with him marrying Alex Lowe's widow? That's a weird one eh?

Maybe now they should change it to CCC? (Cascadetradclan Classically Chopped)?

"Don't trust the webbing you stole from a rappell station to hold a huge whipper." "If it can get stuck-it will get stuck." "Rapping off a bollard is free- it only costs about a year of your life." "You might live but at least I will die with a complete rack" (this last quote by John Baldwin, Coast Mt. ski guru, as he removes his friends rap anchor and begins downclimbing)

"We could be in a bar right now drinking beer" Said at many a miserable alpine bivi.

Hans Florine, 2 bolts in 6 feet, Yosemite... close enough.... [This message has been edited by Dru (edited 07-31-2001).]

For balance let's get a picture of some Euro-type with pink-n'yellow Lycra and a big dangly earring power drilling up then we can offend everybody.

does that mean no more big screen IMAX presentations using SE face of El Cap as screen? no pikes peak auto race? no rv roads to alpine meadows? c'mon parks! youre losing the ballgame to Disneyco!

Incest? We dont got No bugs round these parts stranger Say, that's nice canoe. [This message has been edited by Dru (edited 07-31-2001).]

what are the environmental impacts of dumping out 40 cases of beer???? sic sierra/greenpeace on those cops. endangering normally sober fish and soil microorganisms. bad cops no donuts.

Will, you didn't write those did you? C'mon fess up, name source. (i've seen some of them before)

Old thing I still like: Sport bras, Guinness New thing I like: Spaghetti straps, bouldering pads that turn into shagadelic love mats at night.
