observation rock rocked my world this weekend - thanks to "my" alpine buddy of the week: col von spanker. two words for now: calf raises.

downtown sucks.

Saw a party of 2 climbing up the glacier around E of the N Face as I was stumbling down the talus. dude; you must have been fast - you were off the ice before we even got on. saw the other two dudes, though. i think they were on pitch two or three when we started up. my first ice climb ended with a bang!

needless to say, climbing with the colonel is exciting.

All paid for of course. i know nothing ... and i don't "do" court cases. but i'll buy you a beer if you lead sinsemilla for me.

quote: Originally posted by russ: TLG, what was the reason for the recall? don't quote me on my description of the problem, but basically the fabric on the uppper inside of the toebox was [ahem] "fucked up".

quote: Originally posted by leejams: Okay "poop on it" and "don't buy one" sounds like I will wing it and hope for the best. just so long as you know that wasn't legal advice. enjoy what the frenchman did!

quote: Originally posted by COL. Von Spanker: What this means is do not buy them online from europe, or while traveling in europe. that'll teach you! if you'd bought them at your local small friendly mountain shop you wouldn't have had any problems getting them fixed or getting new ones. for a different reason than your problem, the trango s was initially recalled ... that's partly why they weren't around all summer.

quote: Originally posted by Lambone: too thin my ass that explains some things. i like snow and i think the pictures are real pretty ... even if you didn't climb or ski anything.

i've never used a parking pass at the coulee. shoot me. (triumph rules!!!)

someone from portland must know about how long it would take to drive to rainier!!!

quote: Originally posted by mattp: If we can get him to show up at a pubclub I promise great entertainment if somebody asks him about what he thinks of the Forest Service! somehow i can think of a few things (at least) that would be a bit more entertaining!

quote: Originally posted by mattp: is the leashless thing based on some practicality or a safety-related concern or is it more a matter of style? more about "style" but even more about technique. you should see what people like isaac can do with those things! the word is they're best used for mixed sport climbing, but that's probably a personal choice.

yeah, beck; now you're tallking! except i got nasty sick drunk off a gimlets/"greenery"/hot-tub combination one night ... so i can't go there anymore.

beer sucks. can we talk about some other kind of alcoholic beverage now? (i'm getting thirsty!!!)
