Then dropped our ropes down for locals too scared to lead the last pitch of Diedre and while looking at NW passage heard the crash. Your chestbeating is not necessary Yes we were so fast that when we topped out we saw James at the last belay we beat you by 5 whole minutes suckers!!!!!! Im glad we didnt have to rescue you.

Rule #1 of Rec.climbing Never believe any post you ever read about anything being bolted or chopped.

I think we got out of there before that car crash, we were probably eating asparagus in salsa by then.

You have never belayed with anything but a GriGri. When you are climbing Prussik Peak west ridge, you ask "Is this hold in?"

So what you are saying is you saw Army of Darkness and missed the fact that the phrase Klaatu Niktu etc is a reference to Day The Earth Stood Still the same way you missed the fact that the Necronomicon is a HP Lovecraft reference? Here is a good film for you to watch: Bad Taste by Peter Jackson of Hobbit Fame. You will like the fact that the alien fighters are called the Alien Invasion Defence Squad [note acronym] .

Shit y'all Skinny Puppy is INDUSTRIAL MUSIC!!!! You can only enjoy it if you die your blond hair black and listen to Bahaus and hang out at the Luvafair (now sadly renamed the Palladium). Skinny Puppy was the first band ever to use a sample of a chainsaw running in a song! To clarify. Skinny Puppy = 80s industrial. Nivek Ogre and cEVIN Key. 808s and samplers and shitty synth beats. occasional sampled chainsaws. lyrics of pseudo dancable 80s angst. Sex pistols = 70s punk. Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten. guitars and drums and 3 chords. lyrics of "God save the Queen". and bonus. DOA = 70s thru 00s punk. Joey Shithead and a cast of thousands including Randy Rampage, Dimwit, Chuck Biscuits and Harry Homo. Mack jackets, guitars, beer, Joe running for the Green Party, "Disco sucks, disco sucks, disco sucks like shit!"

Klatuu Veratuu Niktuu, is the phrase spoken in "THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL" to the giant robot.

Grivel Thor hammer, slightly used. Lightning burns on handle. Covered in smashed troll brains. Found in the stomach of a large snake. Will sell for mead.

Methow country. At least the guidebook makes it sound good! Lots of scrambling type peaks.

There is now a 'real' TR online at bivouac.com trip report

Necronomicon - an invented book mentioned by early 20th Century horror writer HP Lovecraft in his stories; credited to "The Mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred" who was allegedly eaten by invisible demons in the streets of Cairo one day. The book was then mentioned by lots of other horror writers as a tribute/homage to Lovecraft. Many readers apparently did not know that the book was a fake, and began looking for it in the 1960's in bookstores. By 1974 an enterprising science fiction author* had ghostwritten a version of the Necronomicon which was being sold as the real thing to credulous hippies. Any copies of the Necronomicon you may find out there today, say in your Goth teenager's bedroom, are about as authentic and accurate as his copy of the Satanic Bible... not at all. In essence the Necronomicon is a trinket for stupid Goth wannabes, about like dreamcatchers and patchouli oil for hippies. It looks real good if you put a skull on it with a candle on top in front of your mirror with the bat winged frame and in front of your collection of black eyeliner you stole from your mom. * believed to be Philip J. Farmer.

how do you know that the same "agent orange", do you have IP addresses or what?

"Mike Layton is masturbating in the toilet."

CAUGHT OUT!!! In fact I know nothing at all about 80s guitar music. For all I know DLR was a keyboard player. But that album cover with him soloing in the Sierras is sure classic. The lycra... the hair... the 80s!!!

It is newbies like you who infect the group, go back to rec.climbing

I dont see Muir Hut or clouds of smoke anywhere in that....

You are the Northerners we are the Southerners!!!! How does a Seattle girl shave her legs? a)Moss killer. b) Leaves them at Exit 38 and waits for them to get cleaned & bolted c) Beckeys tongue d) ?

Throw away your gaiters and get thigh high jackboots. The coming trend. Capt. has a pair.

Is there gonna be a post climb Brawl a la Haston and House at Ouray?

Billy Squier was once profiled in Climbing Mag by his buddy Ed Webster. No shit. What about David Lee Roth? He climbs too an d is arguably a better guitar player. Maybe we should hold a celebrity solo climboff with the first to fall off losing. Rodchester you are friends with both of these guys right ?

There is no south facing rock in the Icicle. I dont know what you have been smoking. Now get back in line for Outer Space and show your forest pass as required.

Is that the sound of my little pellet rifle winging a round off Dru's glossy glacier clad flanks? Dude, there's always a Greater Range somewhere. I for one am hoping to catch a good draft off your beta for the the North Ridge of Clarke....[/QB] AMERICAN $$$ ACCEPTED AT PAR
