Damn, this could be interesting. We could call it "The 50 Greatest Sprayers Favorite Climbs in North America" [ 11-26-2001: Message edited by: texplorer ]

Since companies like TNF, Eddie Bauer, and Royal Robbins have gone to the mass market thing at what point is it not in vogue for climbers to wear such brands? I mean like I still have an old TNF mtn lght jacket. Since it is old school can I still wear it and be cool. . or should I burn it, deny ever owning her, and cut the logo out of all the old pics I have of me wearing it? Just trying to figure all this stuff out.

Actually Dwayner, In 1972 I wasn't even a twinkle in my father's eye. I too went to the Recreational Evil Impire on Saturday in Tigard. It was an interesting mix of fat boy scout type mountain men wannabes and 30 yr old eco-snob women searching for that perfect color nalgene. While walking out I felt raped for some reason. Luckily I went in to a Powell's books the next day and found two of the old Beckey Books used for $20 each.

Well, I don't think you guys actually read the first post. Anyway I think of climbing when I hear the "last of the mohicans" soundtrack. Songs I like to have while climbing either real or in my head are:The Prince, Metallica(not the formerly-known-as-guy)Highway to the danger zoneHighway to hellFuneral March of the Marionettesand of course Danzig's Mother

I was wondering what I was going to do with that extra 1.5 million I had sitting around. I mean those kung-fu grip Harry Potter Ice Tools I just got set me back a little. Still, I should have just have enough to purchase those special edition Sandy Pittman rinestone laden pink onesport's for my trip. Oh, do know if there are any porter's I can hire to carry me up if I get a little winded.

1) retrieved 2 pieces of booty gear on the 3 climbs I've soloed2) saw a 70-something yr old beckey try to pick up on 20-some young girls last year at Smith3) N. Face of the grand in 26 hours car-to-car going on 40+ hours without sleep.4) Successfully infected two CC.com climbers who have climbed with me with the "Texas Bush disease." Ok so I'm pretty lame, come climb with me and see if you feel sick the next day.

PS. be careful driving over the passes. I had two friends get in a bad accident going over Mt. Hood last weekend.

I hear it's supposed to snow at Smith this weekend. Yall will be ok unless its a heavy snow and then you'll have to just climb that overhanging stuff n the dihedrals. Some friends of mine and I are talking about putting up a tyrolean traverse on the Monkey Face this winter, dressing in clown suits, and hauling a pony keg across into the mouth. What a great cover photo for Rock and Ice it would make.

Hey Genepires, I'm quittin my job too. What kind of stuff are you looking to do?

Hmmmm. . . .Denali. . . . How much do you think the expenses will be for one person.

What kind of tools did you get CvMn? I just got the rages but was foiled by the weather from using them this weekend.

I don't have authority to respond to these accusations at this time. I am contacting the mothership and will have a response shortly. I have to assimilate some data right now.

Back when i was backpackin alot I would usually not take enough food and inevitably turn nice 3 day hikes into holy trips complete with fasting and unintentional dehydration induced vision quests.

Headed up the North side of Hood to try to climb the Elliot Glacier Headwall with a fellow CCer, Mr. Xenolith. In short, it was very dark, lots of spindrifty snow flying about, and actually pretty cold. After my partner turned around I thought I might try to go up the Sunshine route. While crossing a crevass I set off a small snow slide. Having moving snow under your feet and hearing that noise is not something you want to hear while crossing a crevass. After that I headed down and went to Smith the next day to solo a few pitches up the west face variation of monkey face.

Edelweiss makes cheaper ropes too. I have used an 11m rope for some time and despite it getting dirty really fast has held up fine.

Sorry about the multiple posts. I was just trying to send it once and I guess my browser was f-ing up. Anyway I hit 100 posts today!!!!

Which of the North side Hood routes would you recommend Haireball? A friend and I have been looking at the elliot headwall but there seems to be two coulouirs that go up it. Just wondering what your thoughts were on the whole thing.

I think we should just play more Tool and Metallica and everything will be alright. Nukes, Nukes, get'em, get'em,Nukes, Nukes, get'em, get'em

This is what you call a trolling post. Don't just say it - spray it
