POL POT.... straight from Cambodia. "It's killer weed!" Is the smoker man or woman? looks woman to me...

good survival story: "The Long Walk" about some Polish guys in WW2 who escape from a Russian prison camp in Siberia and walk south across Mongolia, the Gobi Desert, Tibet and the Himalaya to India, taking 2.5 years, half of them die along the way...and they see the Yeti! And it's not really Reinhold Messner!! The author's name is Slavomir Rawicz if that helps ( do a search on that on Google or whatever and you can find the book easily). He had some english journalist guy as translator and co-author. [This message has been edited by Dru (edited 06-29-2001).]

Hard = brittle soft = ductile. Soft men live longer. [This message has been edited by Dru (edited 06-29-2001).]

Judging by the lack of hair I would say that is a woman over her shoulder???? Or a shaved girly man? I nominate E Dog to do some graphix analysis on this picture and determine gender identities...

It was you yeah! That pick with the bone sticking out through the skin eh! HARD MAN!!!

He's a pretty funny speaker. 2 hour slide show with 10 slides, everybody laughing...i think his book suffered in translation. He did ride the train home through Russia though.

Look for the Middendorf profile in Climbing Mag about 8 years ago. also the cosgriff profile in climbing mag about 5 years ago where him and slater did the same thing and had tshirts that said "blotter is my spotter".

Leavenworth Rock I did this route with lotsa bolts. Four stars. Jim Yoder did this route with sketchy old bolts. Two skulls. Pat Timson did this route. Hard! Dick Cilley toproped this route. Fred Beckey called this route 5.6 and laybacked it. It's a 5.9 jamcrack now.

"Challenge of the North Cascades": I am Fred Beckey. I made a bunch of first ascents. You didn't. Me first.

But you didn't eat em eh nolanr?

Some of those medical kit pliers help with those stubborn turtle heads. "he's poking his head out of the shell - looking around - it's not safe. He's going back in the shell!"

Into Thin Air - I get guided up Everest. But really i'm a good climber. People die. It's all Anatoli Bouukreev's fault. i feel guilty because i could have saved them because i'm a good climber. but i didn't.

That's almost as good as those guys who stole the garden gnome and took it around the world with them and sent postcards back to the guy they stole it from, and returned it a year later with a suitcase full of souvenirs!

Bob and Doug were Canada pre-craft brewing ( I won't say microbrwing since those breweries are pretty big now). Molsons and Labatts eh. I prefer Kokanee if I have to drink corporate beer. A bud in every bottle!

I have dogged up routes and got it on doggee stylee but I am not no shithound! I am a mountain goat - Erik has the pictures!

Hard climbing (if done free). Dig around in the archives of this site for the broken bone story.

Dude there are shrooms wherever there are cows. Lots of cows around...

I'm waiting for someone to tell us all now how dangerous climbing on shrooms is along with those other dangerous pasttimes, soloing and rapping on 6mm cord!!!

Yes but i have no kids yet (that I know of )

Many years ago on a trip to do the Olympic Beach traverse a guy I was driving with bought a glass of Budweiser in a restaurant in Keystone, WA while waiting for the ferry. He went off to the john and we drank 99% of his beer out of the glass and filled the glass back up with water. He couldn't/didn't notice a difference!

I like that beer in grocery stores thing in the USA. Does Pyramid still make that Espresso Stout? That was some good beer.
