The various "Dont Waste Your Time In the..." books are themselves a waste of time and paper. Dont waste YOUR time and money buying one.

Didnt I just hear some right wing guys whining about how Clinton was too wimpy to go to war cause he was worried about bad polls?

If a rope wasn't necessary what did you rappel on?

I like how it has a "European Currency[sic] Adapter". That must be in case you got Money to Burn.

What was round trip time car to car? Or couch to couch

Smoke filled avalung in case of avalanches.

There are hundreds of good unclimbed routes out there. Send me $500 and I will tell you where one is. Incidentally, Jordan Peters and Mike Layton, you owe me $250 each.

I got a pair of REI schollers for 100$...they are good pants. boner. dude. did you see the size range... 44-68! who the hell wears 68" waist!?! those sizes are not the waist measurements, probably euro sizing or some such thing. 68 inch waist pants = Schoeller 2-person bivi sack.

What is the job? Sending out spam email about penis enlargements to unsuspecting male climbers? Counting numbers of snafflehounds nesting in designated wilderness area at the base of 5 Gallon Buckets? Slinging horsecock in the butcher shop? Transcribing Fred Beckey's handwritten-on-napkins notes into a new guidebook? Beta testing to failure new web browsers by logging on to cc.com using 15 avatars at once Ray Borbon style? Being a crash test dummy in Anna's plane?

Why argue with an idiot? It only encourages them.

is that your latest hoochie mama?

How come there are no Avatars out there named Anna Purna?

"Here is a rope, rack, and diagram showing how to tie 2 clove hitches. See ya back here tonight, if you live till then"?

Are rueben sandwiches what made all those fat girls "Rubenesque" like they call themselves in personal ads? or does it mean they like PeeWeee Herman type guys? [ 10-15-2002, 02:46 PM: Message edited by: Dru ]

I can't believe this thread went on for 2 pages without anyone mentioning snafflehounds or horsecock ooops too late!

Cold at night in L'worth right now take triple pufy down jackets, warm mittens for belayer, thermal insulated rock boot with gaiters combo and a thermos full of coffee spiked with rum.

I have seen snafflehounds onsight 5.13 in the alpine

I figure that those 8 are only people I know, mostly from Canada. There are lots of climbers I don't know and it is reasonable to assume they climb at the same level so I upgrade 8 to 50 based on the fact I dont know 80% of the climbing community. If you want more names - John Millar; Kelly Franz; Mike Spagnut; so that's 11 now... [ 10-15-2002, 11:53 AM: Message edited by: Dru ]

quote: Originally posted by Dr Flash Amazing: It seems like if people either alerted the mags that they were climbing stuff in this neck o' the woods, it would get in there. Either that or if someone wrote an article about climbers or climbing or climbs in the PNW. The mags are full of Dean Potters and Dave Grahams because those folks have a name for themselves, and news travels quick about them (or, in the case of Graham, there seems to be some sort of press corps assigned to him). And of course a lot of these climbers are sponsored, so they are going to make sure their names keep showing up in the mags in order to collect the $$$ and the free gear (like the self-portrait photo of Dean Potter atop Cerro Torre(?) recently where he's holding up his [name brand] ice axe off to the side of his head -- product placement, baby!). You have to blow copy editors to make it into the mags and most PNW climbers just dont put out for simple stuff like their picture in a mag.

quote: Originally posted by Crackbolter: I agree with you Dru. I know no one who goes ground up with full intentions of aiding a hard free line on a first ascent.If it looks like too much work, it's gettin rap bolted. Especially if it needs cleaning. Sorry Dru but there are plenty of 5.10 trad climbers in the PNW but not enough climbing them for the first time. If you are REALLY onsighting 5.10+ alpine trad routes, my hat is off to you. Well 10b is not 10+ keep your hat on. You can take it off to, lets see, Jamie Chong, Connie Amelunxen, Shaun Neufeld, Guy Edwards, Craig McGee and his buddy Patrick (or maybe its Pat McGee and Craig?) those guys have all done alpine 5.10+ FAs in the last year. And Jordan and Mike Layton also did 5.10b. So thats 8 people I can think of at a drop of a hat so there are probably about 50 out there doing it

quote: Originally posted by Crackbolter: quote:Originally posted by jon: Well fuckena maybe we should start our own magazine? As soon as the NW community gets enough to write about, it will happen. When was the last time someone did something noble in the PNW? When will we see more than a handful of FA's or FFA's in a year? Who will be the next Peter Croft, Greg Child, Pete Doorish, Fred Beckey or Paul Boving? As of today, I know no one (Well maybe I do but no one flashing 5.10+ alpine first ascents.) There aint gonna be one if losers keep retrobolting crack pitches. Shit man even lil gaper me has onsighted 10c in the alpine on a FA, think up a better troll [ 10-15-2002, 11:06 AM: Message edited by: Dru ]
