One more Lou! (classic)

must not be a real climber if he's a "well dressed gentleman", has a wife and an actual home. What a gaper! [ 09-20-2002, 10:49 AM: Message edited by: Bronco ]

I'd be interested if anyone has any tips on the best way to attatch old style ski poles to your pack. I imaginge you'd be better off carying them like you would a pair of skis, straight up over your head. Except for ice climbing, then carry them sideways?

some good tips and gear recomendations for cold weather climbing. http://www.angelfire.com/ak4/HighIceAk/Tips.html Come on winter!

Pow on the Mow?

When I participated in the Index Clean up in May, there was a ranger from the Wallace Falls State Park who supplied some tools, materials and hauled off the garbage. He implied that the state owned the property, (recently aquired if I remember correctly) talking about putting up some signs and what not. Maybe I just read too much into his comments, but, that's my impression. But, I bet Andy Fitz knows more than ranger joe.

I have a Patagonia dimension jacket which hasn't let me down yet. I've worn it in downpours, groveling through wet brush, wet snow, office meetings, rock climbing, snow shoeing, skiing trundling in the rain, whatever. Breaths great (I sweat a lot) and very tough. I got mine through the Pata outlet in Dillon MT for $165 or so. Don't throw away your goretex though.

Sounds kinda like the start to a porno. Que the corny porno music.

If you were really tough, you'd amputate and get a special prothetic designed like the head of an ice axe to reduce down time.

just don't get it anywhere near the crotch of your action suit.

Here's a little story 'bout a friend who started working for a construction company in June of '94 for $8.00/hour. He showed some hustle and by the time he moved on to a better job in June of '97 he was clearing $60,000 per year as a foremam which is what most of the people at that level made but some of the guys made as much as $80,000 including their bonus. Did I mention he was a scab? Part of the reason he left the company is the Union was sucessful in pushing the company to have the field guys join the union. Now nobody makes more than $50,000 (5 years later) and dues come out of that. go figure.

Have a great weekend and try not to let grammeraticulous mistakes "always" bug you. Life is way to short and too many of us don't care in the first place.

Those hangers hurt your fingers so bad when you hang off of them, I don't know why everybody is doing it. My index finger hurt for a week! And the worst part was, there is no place for pro! NO CRACKS! Just becasue I go to Church the first Sunday of the month doesen't mean I am a commie either! [ 09-06-2002, 12:52 PM: Message edited by: Bronco ]

How about some Lou Bega?

here is another Lou Pinella (kinda silly if you ask me)

He's out at the crag and ready to climb too! I hear he thinks bolting is "murder of the impossible" and tape is aid.

......I found 7 Lou's on the internet today.

looks like he's ready to crank up that rock face behind him. free solo too!

Lotsa' Lou's for you! "Coach" Lou

Yes, yes we are. Lou Henry Hoover (former first lady)

My teachers were on strike when they were supposed to be teaching grammar
