Dru

Went to Vegas for a week. Climbed 3 days. Fun routes. Got snowed on one of the 3 days. There is full on water ice back in the canyons like at the base of Rainbow Wall is about a 4 pitch WI2 where the normal approach goes. Went to a hot spring in Arizona 1 day. Fun canyoneering hike and bouldering too. Went to the thrift stores one day. I got some silver polyester disco pants for $5 Maybe they used to be Roy's? I dont see any tiger bites Drove down thru the northern Nevada desert scoped out some cool granite in Big Smoky Valley. Any body know details? Didn't find the "Skinwalker Ranch" yet but there are a couple of candidates. On the way home the stuffed penguin nearly visited the Kitty Kat Ranch

"i am unwilling to post details of new routes for fear someone will criticise me" = 1) "i am insecure and only want people to praise me" or 2) "i recognize at some level there is something wrong with the route or style and therefore choose not to let people know about it because they will highlight this ethical void i am trying to ignore" No

"it's only ice cream"

Who is this "Dru" person anyway? The Abbotsford climbing gym is called Flashpoint.

lefebvre? was it dry?

All talk = no action

I was invited but i'm not going cuz Im too cool for super secret parties

I am driving, driving.... Maybe a little bit of climbing on Sunday if we get to RR before dark!

this knot looks hard to tie

rope drag can alo be a prob on the steeps when the ropes get caught under chandeliers or icicles

"Hijacking a thread" is turning a discussion about routes on Mt. Shmeeb into a discussion of "gerbilling" - not discussing the manipulative marketing schemes and dress codes required by Outside on Buick on a thread about an event put on by Outside and Buick.

closed aid rating are like the john gill bouldering rating system hey i know, lets switch to an open ended system! that way the hardest aid rating numbers can go up to A-15 to match up with 5.15, V15 and M15

we have that posted on the fridge door at work

It's one of those things where you'd need a time machine to verify. Too bad he didn't write 420 in the summit cairn It seems Cesen fucked up on Lhotse by using someone else's photos and claiming they were his. Whether this means he also lied about the climb or not is unknowm and frankly who cares. The dude has free soloed 13c, verified in front of witnesses. The real prize on Lhotse is the first naked speed ascent anyways

I am practicing to become this guy:

There's only a few places it can be... It took me 30 minutes to find my car keys the other day...

Still haven't found that freakin passport I know I had it at Rope uP

It's a tossup whether the next month's contest will be "Post like Klenke" or "Post Like Schuldt"

who says there will be anything left to take to Nevada?

In January last year I lost my stash. I didn't know if I had cleverly hidden it somewhere and then forgotten where Or if a visiting American had taken it home with them . I suspected the latter But today I was looking for my passport, birth certificate, fingerprints, dental records, proof of rabies vaccination, $200 in small bills and snake head needed to cross border... And I found my stash! Bye bye straight edge lifestyle

Don't ya just LOVE the way she says "Oh Thinker!" does she make the "oh face" to say it?

buy 2x95m and you will be free from rope envy for years to come

just don't call margarine "edible plastic" around Serl I decided it was better to go with liquid vegetable oils than either...where possible. I got a bottle of organic canola and another one of grapeseed oil. Yummy

John Dunne Climbing too bad many of these are fully posed. still inspirational type routes.

Now would be an EXCELLENT time to repeat "The Further Adventures of Trogdor the Burninator!" if say, you were in Lillooet and there was no ice. Sucka.
