trask I will tell you that if you tell me how you know Sig!

iain does your research prove caffeine worse than weed? its probably some Carolina skunkweed cut with rabbit pellets anyhow... but coming soon, USA declares War On Coffee. Seattle must give up wapons of mass caffeination ASAP. i also notice that the spider is not in the web marked "marijuana". it probably went out to the parking lot to play Ultimate and listen to String Cheese Incident and eat cheese covered flies.

Are you really Canadian? You sound like you're from the states. i have practice listening to you guys.

a guy named alan m. told the world so on ukclimbing.com after doing an XI, 10 so he probably knows although stevie haston said there is nothing remotely hard in Scotland and they are all tossers.

you gotta know a CMSlave to get a bro deal there. but they give the CMS employees like 25% off retail and an Arcteryx employee gets like 25% off wholseale which works out to 66% of retail or some shiz (0.75*0.5= 0.375 of retail price) no wonder i picked up 3 goretex jackets, 2 softshell and 4 fleece when i worked for the bird. couldnt afford not to at that deal.

I'll wait for PMS to offer the definitive answer if these are the same route or what. It does sound like some discrepancies there although I would bet the description from the guy who did the route would be most accurate in many cases....

10 March In 1974 Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda of the Japanese army stopped fighting World War II. He dismissed the leaflets announcing the end of the war as American propaganda and remained in considerable discomfort on the tiny Philippine island of Lubang on which he had been marooned. Two years later, Shoichi Yokoi turned up in a cave on Guam, and another Japanese veteran was found in Indonesia in 1974. In December 1989, two Japanese civil engineers, who had been fighting with the communist guerrillas in Malaya since 1945, gave themselves up.

col. mustard, with the ice axe, in the library.....

Dru: Kiss my butt! We Scots were climbing M8 long before you yanks "discovered" mixed climbing and fucked it all up with bolted sport mixed climbs and funky leashless tools. Tosser Scottish VIII, 8 = N American M6+

On a positive note though, I found my Tikka!!! Buried under my tire jack. So I guess neither you, erik, danimal, micro, notgotmoney or jeff stole it after all, neither did lil' do rag from the can-ho.

CMS is a fashion store and sells gear as an afterthought. i only shop there when people i know are working there and i can swing employee-discount bro deal. Nice place to buy Arcteryx if you cant get bro deal from the factory. Other than that, I wouldn't but plenty do. MEC (sorry Don& fishstick) seems to miss the boat alot when it comes to clothing design eg. making the Composite jacket which accentuates all the negatives of Powershield, instead of making like Arcteryx and coming out with a Light version. Then again MEC is a not-for-profit cooperative and makes decisions by collective decision process, yearly votes, etc.... the 1% of members who vote are not necessarily the ones who know the direction the store should be taking...

to make it cc.com relevant instead of hot dogs one must eat or Gu. or do it yosemite style with the gallon of whole milk challenge.

that was weeks ago. and anyways, together with 8a.nu, we don't comment on unrated routes, but wait for spray monkey to attach shiny number to it. "freepoint" or not.

"might makes right" hence the guy with the .45 has priority. "power comes out of the barrel of a gun" - Mao bring Greg W with you to all crowded crags if neither of you has a gun remember its easier to throw stuff down from top of crag, than it is to throw stuff up from bottom of crag in Euroland, in this situation, you just start climbing, and when they throw ropes down, you tie the ropes together and clip into the knot, then drop a coil on them afterwards, in pink goretex gaiters.

Super Couloir is on SW face of N peak I thought Eve Dearborm MR was on the northeast face of middle peak. Hello??

Did they accept their failure or blame other people/parties? they gloried in their failure which is kind of a strange thing to chestbeat about if you ask me.

spanish kid who has onsighted 14as climbs new claimed 15a extension to 14c alex huber route that a bunch of strong guys previously tried and couldn't do. i saw a movie about the route at VIMFF that was an obvious ripoff of Realization except it didnt have Chris Sharma in it.

audioslut would be ok if only the singer would shut up and too bad morello/wilk (cant remember which one) doesnt get to pretend he's a dj anymore and make the scratchy guitar noise; reduced to standard cock rockin' accompaniment to some singer who sucked so much his own band dumped him.

crag rage whip out your .45 and threaten em OR: grab their packs sitting at the base of the climb, and run away with their gear

Y'alls can believe what you want but from where I'm standin aint nothin' wrong with irregardless if'n you like them big words and all-how.

And:South Coast Region WEATHER: Well, if you have any doubt that the weather is mixed up right now, let’s start with the obvious. It snowed hard in Vancouver. The reason for this begins with a very cold airmass that roared through BC from the north, bringing temperatures down to a chilly -20 in the alpine. A series of weak Pacific disturbances have taken a run at the coast, but have been force to ride up and over the cold, dense air. This has led to intense snowfall in some areas, with the Coquihalla getting an incredible 156 cm since Friday. The weather forecast calls for the cold air to finally retreat, leaving a brief clear period Monday morning then opening the door for a very powerful low heading our way from Hawaii. Expect rapidly rising temperatures, a wind switch to strong out of the SW and heavy snow turning to rain even in the alpine beginning late Monday. SNOWPACK: Things are quite variable right now. The Whistler area has seen less snow than inland areas but still has a wind slab now buried under a further 30cm of low density fluff. The interface under the wind slab is still weak, with weak surface hoar crystals found here in many areas, accompanied by a poorly bonded crust down 60cm on some southerly aspects. AVALANCHES: By Sunday, only small powder and soft slab releases were being seen, failing on specific terrain features. As the rapid warming occurs, expect a slab to quickly form at the surface and a widespread avalanche cycle to develop early in the week. FORECAST OF AVALANCHE DANGER UP TO MONDAY EVENING (March 10th) ALPINE – Considerable, increasing to High with warming TREELINE - High BELOW TREELINE - Considerable TRAVEL ADVISORY: The main problem for Monday will be wind transported snow as the system moves inland. Expect a further and now rapid rise in danger as temperatures begin to rise Monday afternoon.

Blah blah blah La Ramble extension blah blah www.8a.nu I just want to post this first so later on when sexual choco, DFA or freeclimb9 do I can refer them to my earlier post of the same thread, and smirk.

Must disagee Dru. The Europeans invaded by everyone, respected by noone are the French. But I must digress, we've already had a few threads covering that topic. if the french were the poles vichy govt would have lasted till 1992.

johnny cash. I hear that trask is pretty tough - he shot a man in reno just to watch him die You idiot that was Johnny Cash OHMYGOD!!! Trask shot Johnny Cash??

even though the poles are the scots of europe, invaded and conquered by everyone, respected by no one i think it would be pushing it to call glassgowkiss aka polish bob, a scot.
