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?

My attorney took me climbing...didn't charge me either!

always climbing on WEDNESDAY mornings...thats a good life alright

UBB allows pictures on profiles too.... Cavey, you'll just have to come to pub club to meet me. One of these is me...I won't admit which though... http://www.ryansasser.org/photos/Tree%20and%20Bari/holly%20and%20bari%20lie%20low.JPG [This message has been edited by hollyclimber (edited 08-03-2001).]

Sunglasses, what sunglasses? http://www.ryansasser.org/photos/FamilyReunion2001/P7140025.JPG [This message has been edited by hollyclimber (edited 08-03-2001).]

So, there is a function of the Ultimate Bulletin Board (the software that is used to run cc.com) that allows us to rate each other. Should we ask the Mountain Dudes to enable it? [This message has been edited by hollyclimber (edited 08-03-2001).]

Awh Cavey, you are making me work! Seriously, I called the main number, and they couldn't answer the question! So, they give me another number, which is just a bunch of vm baloney. 2 calls later, it turns out that no dogs are allowed. That's what I expected, but sometimes I am surprised.

Any of you recent climbers notice if dogs were allowed? Yes, I am lazy and haven't checked. Just curious...

what I want to know is that why is it that only the Euro's get to buy the FLY in green? I think green is way cooler than black, what do you think Cavey? Don't you think the green FLY would climb a lot better?

Carolyn: I suggest (in finding a "safe" person) that you consider hiring a guide if your class doesn't happen. Not that its the only way to go, but since you were planning on spending some money on instruction anyway, it might not be a bad investment. I have never hired a guide in this area, but there are plenty around. Mountain Madness is a big commercial outfit, but they might be one place to look. At least with a guide you don't have to be worried about some wierdo that you don't know freaking out on you. Most climbers are cool, but its always a risk to climb with someone you don't know and this is the time in your training when you want to be sure you are learning things in a safe manner. Good luck! And, I think Dragontail is popular, but not like the big volcanos. It takes a permit, but they do give some on a walk in basis.

I think you should reconsider... "Accidents" is a great way for us to learn from each others mistakes. I myself had a fall that was longer than it should be due to the adjustable aiders. And, people need to think about their placements. I know you will think about yours differently now, right? This is coming from me who will be in "Accidents" next year, and since my accident was in a national park I don't have a choice. My choice is to write my own essay, so that at least I can describe my accident in my own words. Its easy to submit your report. The info is in the front of the current book. Hope you are healing well! Its hard to be out of the game. Hope you are back climbing soon.

Or maybe even an orthopaedist? Your primary care doc should probably be able to recommend you to the type of doctor, then all of us injured can tell you if we like ours! I really like my orthopaedist, Dr Charles Peterson II at Seattle Orthopaedic and Fracture Clinic. He is really smart, which is what I like in a doctor. hgb

Back from a climbing trip, have to throw myself into this fray... 5.9 at Little Si? I can only think of 2 5.9 routes there, one is an ok warm up (Reptiles) and one sucks (some devil name or something). If that is what you climb at Little Si, how can you like it so much? Just seems wierd to me. Not where I go if I want to climb 5.9 Ok...now I go back and read some things and maybe office space was joking?

Read this post here, http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000031.html And then read this here (have to paste this in as of today rather then give the link, since eventually this will be true) MT RAINIER CURRENT CLIMBING CONDITIONS FROM THE MT RAINIER PARK SITE Emmons-Winthrop Glacier is in good shape though not at all direct. There are a few small icy patches that require care. The "Corridor" on the Emmons is unusually broken up with crevasses. Above the "Corridor" the route veers sharply right all the way to the Winthrop Glacier and then moves along to the summit close to saddle between Liberty Cap and the Summit. Slots will continue to open with the warmer weather, continually altering the route. And you will see that it is true that at a minimum, even the Mt Rainier rangers exaggerate sometimes. If you call them, they really give a tough story on the Emmons, according to our fellow cc.com'ers, its not true.

The caveman climbs at Exit 38?

freeclimb9: Is Teewinot fun? If so I would like to do it...

I guess I am not really that concerned about Parvo because all dogs are vaccinated against it. Most people vaccinate their dogs. I know my dog will not be giving parvo to anyone or anything else. [This message has been edited by hollyclimber (edited 07-05-2001).]
