Oh wait you guys are right. How silly of me. DRILL ANWAR NOW!!!

What has the access fund done up here in the NW lately? I don't hear much about them up here. Do we have any active climbers from the NW? Who are our reps or whatever for our region?

I don't think you hate the environment. If your a climber you probably at least on some level enjoy nature and the beauty of natural diversity. The question I have to ask is - Do we have to have proof that the environment is fucked up before you start trying to take care of it. I mean most people would agree that the exhaust from our cars is at the least unhealthy for us to breath and MAY have an effect on the world as a whole. So. . why don't we try to find alternatives anyway?

I am interested in learning to bolt. I have been climbing alot of routes lately that are kinda runout, especially those ones with cracks in them. I guess those old school guys just were so poor they had to climb a long ways without protection but today things shouldn't be that way. I noticed alot of unbolted routes in the main area at leavenworth a couple of weeks ago that weren't bolted. I bet those cracks would be fun to climb if they had a bolt every 6ft. Anyway, if an older climber would like to show me how to drill I would be stoked. Then I can start placing these couple of hundred new hangers I just bought. Serious replies only please.

Its a good thing I am diversified into Coug-R's-us, Horsecock and Fitch, and a small mutual fund. My 51% share of SnaffeInc. dropped by by over 6 points! I hope my sleeper stock in Scotteryx pays off.

I know its lamer than what you guys did but I once aided off a shoestring off a fixed rurp.

I think climbings allure to me exists on many levels. I could go into all of them but mainly I would say that it fits me and my lifestyle. For me I know it is not just a phase it is my life now. I plan my life around it to a large extent and hope to be climbing into my 100's.

free for all 5.8 free for some 5.11 beacon rock

I learned some new vocabulary today. Chickenbolt is a good one. Have you ever heard of a potty-jam?

shade from what . . from the squeltering 75 degree temps. wow, now that is hot!

What do I win Joe! Are you yet another poster with Snaffle-envy. Up to this point your posts have been insightful but . . you just passed the 100 posts mark. That means you are entering the land of spray. Now it is time for me to bring you down to my level and then beat you with experience.

I don't know what is more funny, the people making jokes or the people giving real advice.

The other day I saw a wall from the top of Flagstone. I dreamed of a wall of immaculate rock. If I developed a wall around there I would name it Fagstone. Then all the routes would have gay names like:the Fairy, buttplugger, gay and proud, rainbow route. I have also thought it would be fun to have a porno-wall somewhere with lots of routes under that idea. I guess my favorite real route name is Rad Bad Duality Crack at Indian Creek.

Hey spiderman, What experience do you have? There is a vast difference between Liberty crack and Dreamer.

First of all, I have nothing to do with that prick-the tool. In fact I once lost one of my favorite snafflehounds to that monger. He kept preaching about something like snaffle's should be eradicated from the wild. I personnally saw him take Gandalf (a six year old yellow-bellied snaffle) and break his neck right there in front of me. Also I am personnally fond of many alpine hookers. They perform a service that not many women can. I mean surely erik you have been up on a wall for 3 days and thought, "I wish one of those goddesses would rap down here to my little portaledge." I hope you remember what you've done when the next time you have to spoon with your smelly partner on some crappy bivy. Its people like your that have driven Alpine hookers out of the NW. Please leave the patrons of "the oldest profession" in peace.

I will not respond to your accusations. That tabloid filth is full of lies. . all lies. Ever since you did that story on alpine hookers I have boycotted your "publication." If you need information of about PETS contact your Washington reprsentative -Mr Gregw.

Ah yes, Fred pioneered early breeding of snaffles in the wild. Truly a legend. I think he backed away from the snaffle industry because he thought it was getting to political. Word has it he keeps detailed records of snaffle sitings in fedex folders. I even have reason to believe he is monitoring their numbers in the wild for the govt. Do you ever notice how he doesn't ever quite say what it is that he does for work. hmmmmmm........

When your such an enigma in the world of snafflehounds like me there are always those out to ruin your character. That one was an agentinian farmer who's andean snaffles continually can't match my snaffle's champion size and ferocity. (Andean snaffles are very docile and shy)

You may have been thinking about the part in Chapter 6 where I attribute the size increase of my genitalia to a diet rich in snaffle meat. If you need collaboration on this talk to Cavey. He is one of the great NW snafflehound tasters at the annual snaffle cookoff.

quote: Originally posted by erik: "da snaffle chewed my nutz right off!" In my book there is no such quote. Clearly Erik I don't use such words as "da" and "nutz" in my bestselling book. I am also a member of PETS and am a proponent of the reintroduction of the Denali Snafflehound Project going on right now. [ 07-11-2002, 02:40 PM: Message edited by: texplorer ]

The chinese have their own breeding program at some secret site at the base of the himalayas. I actually only sell them a small amount of snaffles comparitively. I am not sure exactly what they do but I assume they are using them in their breeding programs. They always pay top dollar and in cash. I plan on taking an exploratory trip to their breeding facilities this fall. I have heard good things about their programs and that they treat the snaffles humanely. These are only rumors though.

To climb is human, to trad divine

Anything goes down in Mexico. Besides you can't be too careful with this breed. They have sharp claws and sharp pointy teeth. You have to have respect for something the locals call "El grande raton de diablo."

Sorry not a snaffle Jon, but the Chinese might be interested in him. See the snafflepost for details.

Do you remember what Tatooine looks like in Star Wars? That i where I grew up. Before I moved here I had no idea what a snafflehound even was.
