How about one that says "I made the first non-Layton ascent of Back of Beyond Buttress and all I got was this stupid T-shirt" with the lettering tilted at 45 degrees? -
"What went through your head while you were falling?" Well, when I landed on my noggin, it was my helmet and a large pointed rock that went through my head...

Whatever happened to Skytrain Surfing? -

When I pump, it flows.
-
Which car was yours? That silly minivan?
-
And I live in a valley in Holland Are you sure it's not Death Valley or the Dead Sea?
-
"Pumping" and "flowing" are two different things.

Planes are stranded in the sky and drains are stopping too She alone is laughing under eyelids full of flu.

When awful darkness and silence reign Over the great Gromboolian plain, Through the long, long wintry nights; When the angry breakers roar, As they beat on the rocky shore; When Storm-clouds brood on the towering heights Of the Hills on the Chankly Bore: Then, through the vast and gloomy dark, There moves what seems a fiery spark, A lonely spark with silvery rays Piercing the coal-black night, A meteor strange and bright: Hither and thither the vision strays, A single lurid light. Slowly it wanders - pauses - creeps - Anon it sparkles - flashes and leaps; And ever as onward it gleaming goes A light on the Bong-tree stem it throws. And those who watch at that midnight hour From Hall or Terrace, or lofty Tower, Cry, as the wild light passes along, "The Dong! - the Dong! The wandering Dong through the forest goes! The Dong! the Dong! The Dong with a luminous Nose!" Long years ago The Dong was happy and gay, Till he fell in love with a Jumbly Girl Who came to those shores one day. For the Jumblies came in a Sieve, they did - Landing at eve near the Zemmery Fidd Where the Oblong Oysters grow, And the rocks are smooth and gray. And all the woods and the valleys rang With the Chorus they daily and nightly sang - "Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve." Happily, happily passed those days! While the cheerful Jumblies staid; They danced in circlets all night long, To the plaintive pipe of the lively Dong, In moonlight, shine, or shade. For day and night he was always there By the side of the Jumbly Girl so fair, With her sky-blue hands, and her sea-green hair. Till the morning came of that fateful day When the Jumblies sailed in their Sieve away, And the Dong was left on the cruel shore Gazing - gazing for evermore - Ever keeping his weary eyes on That pea-green sail on the far horizon - Singing the Jumbly Chorus still As he sat all day on the grass hill - "Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve." But when the sun was low in the West, The Dong arose and said, "What little sense I once possessed Has quite gone out of my head!" And since that day he wanders still By lake and forest, marsh and hill, Singing - "O somewhere, in valley or plain Might I find my Jumbly Girl again! For ever I'll seek by lake and shore Till I find my Jumbly Girl once more!" Playing a pipe with silvery squeaks, Since then his Jumbly Girl he seeks, And because by night he could not see, He gathered the bark of the Twangum Tree On the flowery plain that grows. And he wove him a wondrous Nose, A Nose as strange as a Nose could be! Of vast proportions and painted red, And tied with cords to the back of his head. - In a hollow rounded space it ended With a luminous lamp within suspended, All fenced about With a bandage stout To prevent the wind from blowing it out; And with holes all round to send the light, In gleaming rays on the dismal night. And now each night, and all night long, Over those plains still roams the Dong! And above the wail of the Chimp and Snipe You may hear the wail of his plaintive pipe, While ever he seeks, but seeks in vain, To meet with his Jumbly Girl again; Lonely and wild - all night he goes - The Dong with a luminous Nose! And all who watch at the midnight hour, From Hall or Terrace, or Lofty Tower, Cry, as they trace the Meteor bright, Moving along through the dreary night, "This is the hour when forth he goes, The Dong with the luminous Nose! Yonder - over the plain he goes; He goes; He goes! The Dong with a luminous Nose!"

Maybe its a pair of hemmorhoids giving the appearance of rectal nipples.
-
Please elaborate on the nipples on your ass thing. Did a friend get a masectomy and you saved the good part?
-
Except for Steve and myself I honestly doubt that you will find anyone on Cascadeclimbers that has climbed Medissa or Urquhart so I expect your requests for further information will provbe fruitless

Pumping water/sewage into cracks in the rock is not going to make the cliff more stable. Basic science. What about if someone trundles a boulder down onto you while you are climbing up? I recall an incident a few years ago in Montana? where 3 youths were charged with manslaughter after pushing a 10 ton boulder down a face 2 climbers were climbing from the ridge above. Some might argue that this is what the Park Service did by pumping water into those cracks.
-
What about people that write false names in summit registers? I've seen Reinhold Messner and Bono signed in together on a few summits
-
no. its three hours of scrambling from there. there is basically next to no water left at nesakwatch spires so plan on carrying it all in if you go.

Live giant squid have been seen and filmed now, and they do not get any longer than 45 feet So your book is wrong, but don't let that stop you from loving it.

Anything made by Pika. Mostly the Mallards.

Notes: 1) Next time go directly from the FSR instead of taking the stupid Rexford trail to the divide 2) Next time bring more cams like maybe a triple set 3) Next time don't get hit by trundled rockfall 4) Next time bring larger gear than a #3 Camalot maybe 2 #4 and 2#5 5) next time pick a cooler day for a south facing wall!
