But SPRAY DETRACTS FROM PUBCLUB. Northwest legends like David Parker gotta get their shit together if they are going to show up, and all the bickering and last minute changes keep them away.

David, I heard rumor about this: was it you who pushed Mr S. off the edge?

I believe Lowell Skoog commented on this idea in his discussion of a Journal last winter. Because webpages are rather transient, it might be a good idea if someone were to undertake to periodically search for and "archive" what climbing history or route information appears on the web, but on the otherhand we should consider whether this may discourage the sharing of information if somebody has concerns about whether or not their ascent was "worthy" or whether it might generate controversy or something. I believe Clint Cummins set out to archive some of the information about Squire Creek Wall that was posted on the C&S website and that he transcribed and consolidated some of the information and put it on his page for a while (if my memory is correct, he gave credit for the source). Anyway, I think it may now be gone so maybe the original author took offense at this or perhaps Clint Cummins thought better of it for some other reason. What is the protocol for copying information off the net? Wasn't the original idea that everything should be "open source" and isn't that why you have the "view source" option on your web browser? Now that businesses are using the web for commercial activity the original idea may no longer be valid but doesn't somebody who puts something on the web assume that people are going to download and copy and print and manipiulate their information?

Didn't you read about the death of Mr. Smokeout? A tragic turn of events. He will be missed.

Another Northwest Legend weighs in against cc.com. See what you guys have done?

And I'd be more likely to play the Residents than Phish, anyway. Don't get me wrong, Phish are cool and all, but I never quite bonded with them. The Residents are WAY COOL! One of my favorite crag time recordings lately has come from Frank Zappa: My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Momma. [ 10-08-2002, 04:53 PM: Message edited by: mattp ]

Just so you know, we all wear carabiners on our belts.

Is Mrs. Smokeout going to have to return the insurance money?

At first glance, I thought you were talking about "Mount Temple" -- which is near Lake Louise in Banff National Park and you can't miss it. Maybe rename this threat "The Temple?"

What the hell is this, you guys? Dwayner tries to start a discussion of the personality of this site and after somebody points out that he has contributed to the banter and to the insults on this site it degenerates into three days of name-calling and sniping. "You're the asshole .. no YOU'RE the asshole .... I am not .. are too..."

It was "Golden Week" in the Enchantments. This is the name Peg and Bill Stark gave to their annual pilgramage every first week of October for over thirty years. They didn't give up this tradition until they reached about age eighty -- or did they? Were there some old folks camped on a rock above the N. shore of Lake Viviane? Thanks for the pictures...

I'm with you, AA. It was kind of the precursor for rock and roll elevator music.

Nirvana, Hendrix and Charlie Parker top my list but within earshot of Seattle it's usually KEXP.

Yes, the "stickclip" was called the "cheater's stick" back in the old days. My first one was fashioned from a vw antenna.

Yes, it is on lower angled slabs in Darrington that I have seen the effects of this. And the famous Darrington knobs are most pronounced on steeper walls, with greater development on south-facing steeper walls.

Erik - Aren't you, too, willing to shake it?

Are you denying that you have a nice ass?

Newsflash: Caveman = Fence Sitter.

Good point, Dru. But it just seems kind of odd to see people say somebody is a asshole because they called somebody else an asshole.

If you want to claim your prize, you'd have to show up again some time.
