If they break a leg or something, don't mess around with liability, that gets too messy. Just kill them.

Whats with all the songs/poems? Are people feeling all warm and fuzzy inside today and want to share? Well all I have to say to that is I WONT HUG YOU!

This thread has stopped talking about the Muir hut a long time ago, and nobody talks about how much Dan Larson sucks either. The third row is a long ways to shoot the breeze about nothing!

I love this thread!

Hee hee... on that note, I was just starting up the second pitch of Someclimbcalledsomething yesterday, and after getting about five feet off the ground cut one loose right in my belayer's face. Poor guy had nowhere to go, being tied into the anchors and all. A brief war of words ensued, warning me about his sudden lack of motivation to keep me on belay. I laughed at his paltry empty threats, and dropped a silent stinker before leaving my perch. Another merry day at the crags.

ktk?

We saw a group of climbers with names on their helmets briefly on Saturday. hmmmmmmmm

I've read that climbing hold significantly less dangers than we might think, statistically. Driving to a climbing site and back is more dangerous than rock climbing. In Yosemite, there are an average of 2.5 deaths, 50 fractures, and 15-25 rescues per year. Compare that to 25,000 to 50,000 days on the wall. Statistically, rock climbing is less dangerous than operating a power lawn mower, playing high school football, and surprisingly, backpacking. My source is "Climbing Rock and Ice" by Jerry Cinamon, his sources for those statements are footnoted.

Try taking heavy drugs. Or maybe violence really IS the answer....

hee hee.... the Mountaineers are going to be cold and wet this weekend!

how many pages will this thing go for before it crashes? will it ever? I would like to see this thing hit a third row.

I've heard that the time the most auto accidents occur is between midnight and 2am, and 1pm and 3pm. I guess the afternoon time has something to do with blood sugar after lunch. I've been doing a lot of all night driving lately, and it seems true. From midnight to two I am dead tired, but after that I feel a lot better and am able to push on for hours and hours and hours more. Illusion or not, it gets me to wherever I'm going.

What kind of music were they playin'?

While CF's show wasn't supper dupper it was at least 1,000 times better than JB's last year. Don't get me wrong I respect JB, but his presentation skills ar atrocious. Amen to that. Awesome climber, looks like a great time, but crikey! My eyes were getting droopy for a couple of minutes halfway into the second reel.

I liked the splitter gear thread more because it was more entertaining.

Death by slideshow is what I just experienced. Charlie Fowler's show on Patagoina was mostly interesting, but he wasn't a good storyteller either. Lots of pictures of Steph Davis though.....

I remember the second time I went there we woke up the resident ranger/warden person at 2am trying to find the grasslands.... and if any other rangers are like her, you have nothing to worry about. She wasn't even angry. I wouldn't push it though. Although I have slept in the car in the regular campground parking lot without a hitch. I've never seen the rangers put out any effort to enforce anything, but who cares, camp in the grasslands, you'll have ten times more fun anyway. [ 03-20-2002: Message edited by: MysticNacho ]

Whoa nelly, whoa there...

Its only illegal if you get caught.

Patagonia slideshow at Second Ascent tonight, I'm going to that one instead. It's free, too! WoohoO!

That's it, the guidebook came out. I'm talking about climbing the West Face route, number #18 in the Watts guide. 5.12 A1 into the West Face Cave. Not climbing monkey space either, I heard the bolts were real sketchy too. BASE jumping is scary, no way. Watched a guy jump from the nose though, which was fun enough for me.

Its west face. I swear its west face. Don't make me bust out the guidebook.

No, I'm talking about the other cave (the one that makes up the monkey's ear, not the pioneer route cave. Sleeping in that one would be a bitch, rolling around everywhere! Got any pics of the other cave Dru?
