there is an account of rock flaming in 8 mile camp ground icicle, in the august publication Canadian Alpine Journal 1986. also includes the line "Hey, are you guys fags?" as a greeting between straight males. surprisingly did not incite much heated response to the editor.

if you fall and have crampons and hit your partner with them it makes for a better epic.

next thing you know the tool wiill bust someone for hauling a keg up on top of intersection rock. i say props to thesenga and boo to his wimpy employers. good for him for paying his fine and not weaseling i personally got rid of a whole can of white gas in 0.2 seconds in indian cove new years 1995. boom!

Lady: "Can I help you" Dru: "You got any horsecock?" Lady: "Uh whah?" Dru: "HORSECOCK!! Landjaeger. Beefchub. Meat stick!" Lady: "Uh... there might be some pepperoni in a jar by the cashier...its been there a while but if you don't mind some dust..."

i plan to nail my way up Classic Crack by leap frogging my 4 bongs. to clean climbing nazis. if you dont like my pin placements i will bolt it. on a more serious note Perry Beckham was witnessed hammering pins into University Wall (even though he has freed it!!) while guiding an aid ascent, not for safety, merely for convenience, to make the pitch go faster. discuss.

I hear dru sent a whole bunch of cool routes in the desert while you losers were spraying online.

Just heard about this last night 3rd hand over the phone. left Vegas this AM. Speed driving towards vancouver for Sunday. Guy was my hero ever since 1991 when I met him on Grainger and then the next day in my geology class. John is the ultimate child prodigy climbing pitch of a3 hooks on his first day of climbing. Those two are the best climbers I know and such awesome always positive people i cant think of anyne else with more worthy of respect and admiration. also good friends. i m still hoping somehow the are hunkered down somewhere and wil come thru O Joe Simpson style??? but i guess probably not....
