Beck! You are the man...I can handle the 2 block walk from my office to that pub! I hope everyone else can handle the adventure into the city... Parking is free on the street starting at 6 pm...so for those of you coming in from outside the downtown area, thats a good time to snag a parking spot. I can offer rides home to people in the W Seattle or Beacon Hill area. I'll have seatbelts for 3 passengers, and a dog crate for Beck! (just kidding)

When you feel the nighttime urge to pee, do it. Warming up your full bladder takes away energy from the rest of your body.

Looking to climb University Wall or Uncle Ben's the weekend of Sept 8-9. I would prefer to climb with someone that I have at least already met and maybe even climbed with...I know there are some of you out there. I am looking for a partner with about the same free climbing level and aid experience as me or more. I also plan on having a good time on this climb, so positive attitudes and commitment to a safe and successful climb are important! For a potential partner I haven't met, it would be good to meet and talk about the climbs at this Tuesday's (Aug 28)pub club, if we have it (I don't know if this Sundays L-worth pub club will cancel out the normal Tuesday thing). If interested, email me at hollyclimber@hotmail.com

I hope pen leaves... Dru-check your inbox.

who is this chick, and what is the point?

Hi Beck... Maybe I will come to pub club tonight... But, if I don't, I wanted to say we should keep in mind that the last time that there were fires in L-worth, a lot of stuff was closed until the next June or July. I know you are already thinking about alternate locations and I think that is pretty wise. see ya

Hi ted! Have fun on Snowfield!

My honest thought is that most of the spray (no matter what forum it shows up in) is entertaining and fun. However, I think that when people are rude or just a little too rough on people asking serious questions, it reduces the helpfulness of the board. That said, I don't think there is really anyway to change it. Some people can't/won't sensor themselves for the serious questions or the softie newcomers. I think that means that if you want beta, you have to be tough. Otherwise, ask somewhere else... I like the group the way it is...very entertaining.

Answers to some of the above questions: 1) My dog is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. The Bernese are in the same family sort of, but they have long fur. 2) Yes, my dog has four eyes, when he is wearing his doggles. We have been trying them out. Its fun. 3) Would I risk my life for my dog in the mountains. Yes. But, would I jump into a boiling hot pool in Yellowstone like some ya-hoo did last week or so? No. Basically, we all risk our lives in the mountains. I am sure there is a limit to the risk I would take, but I would definitely take significant risks to save him if he was in danger or something. If I am not willing to do that, then I shouldn't bring him with me. 4) I have a picture of a human wearing the doggles. I love it. The large dog pair should fit your dog-faced friend. www.doggles.com [This message has been edited by hollyclimber (edited 08-08-2001).]

That's funny, I have some of that medicene at home...on the DOG SHELF. Guess it works on canines too.

Thanks to Beck! for organizing another fun drinking event. I met some new people and had a great time. Can't wait till next week!

Wow: you have really been saving this up for awhile...what's the deal? why so much anger about some girls and their sport climbing silliness? the women in question probably don't even climb anymore.

Check out the other link. People's Pub is closed, I called to confirm. Good thing the Captain was paying attention. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000714.html

Also, just for everyone out there consider doggles, (ok it not very many of you, I know), one thing that is cool about them is that they block flying objects too. So, even if snow blindness isn't an issue, thing about that blowing snow or even hail and how bad it feels if you take your glasses/goggles off for a bit when you are skiing or climbing. I didn't really think about this until I was looking into doggles for the issue of snow-blindness, but now I am thinking that since my dog is mostly trained to wear them (we are still working on wearing them longer and longer) if there is ever a issue of blowing sand, snow, whatever, we have a solution. And, he looked super cool in them walking around Vancouver on Sat.

Going with my usual method (always ask why, know the details, stats, etc) Do you know why? Do you know who the doc is? I would like to find out more. My vet was clueless, although they didn't consult the specialist.

Personally, I hate the gym, but if I have to go I tend to go to Stone Gardens. Can't remember the last time I went to the gym though... I guess I went to the Portland Rock gym a few months ago because I was waiting for my friend to get off work there so we could go drink some beers! Cool place, they even let my pooch hang out next to the area open to the outside. He liked it there. Dagen votes for the Portland Rock gym as the only gym worth going to.

The worst part about cleaning new routes is when you go to your bed and lichen falls out of your hair onto the pillow. Yuck! 2nd worst is when you accidently scrub your hand instead of the rock and get to pick your skin out of the brush... Say no to scrubbing and lichen! Trundling is fun though.

See everyone tomorrow at People's Pub...

last weekend? Thought I would move my spray to the correct forum... Tried to climb in Squamish this last weekend. Had a GREAT trip to MEC (probably the best part of the weekend) and managed to climb about 5 single pitch routes in Squamish on Sunday. After we climbed until we had to admit that yes, it was really raining hard, we had to head to the pub. So, I sat in those great couches by the fireplace, drank a pitcher of something "logger" and ate waffles! Breakfast and beer at 2 pm...it was really great. Stared at the mural of the Chief and dreamed of doing Uncle Ben's with NO rain. It was really one of those fine rainy day feelings where you are glad to be inside and the rain isn't really so bad. How about everyone else?

Cavey... I can't make it to the next one. But, the one after that I will be there. But, you should still go. We had a great time last week and it was fun to meet everyone. Actually, I take it back. Wait for me because I want to meet you before you end up needing the bullet proof vest. [This message has been edited by hollyclimber (edited 08-03-2001).]

Yeah, I think it might suck. I know a couple sport places to stay dry (I think you can stay dry in Cheakamus in some spots). I am kind of injured, so its mostly a trip to hang out at the climbing area with my dog and try not to be too depressed about having missed a few weeks of climbing.

oh well, it would have been interesting to see if they allow Cavemen into the Pub. Anyway, I don't know if we will ever see Cavey at one of our beer drinking events...he's becoming a legend too great for his own time. Maybe an L 7c+ (french scale), working up towards L 8a ? I'm kind of stuck at L 7a, so I don't think I'll get a chance at the ascent. [This message has been edited by hollyclimber (edited 08-03-2001).]

We could have a private party... Squamish Pub, this Sat night?
