i'm not trying to be a climbing snob, but i just spent most of my weekend with a guy who just wanted to climb 5.8's and 5.9's. don't get me wrong, because i really don't mind leading some moderates (and i even find them fun and somewhat challenging), but when it comes to sport climbing i am really trying to get better (and yes, i do mean numbers here) ... and i won't ever get "there" by only climbing moderates. i also won't get there if i'm with someone who only wants to do 12's. get my drift? i climb at the vw in magnolia if you ever want a trial run on my belay skills.

trask, you spelled "fuck" wrong. makes me wonder if you can do it if you can't even spell it.

so, when IS stick clipping acceptable? when you don't have a ropegun and are climbing with two dudes who can only lead 5.9?

how hard do you want to climb? i might be free monday - depends if i go anywhere this weekend.

what a stupid "trick"! just cause we're bored doesn't mean we're all dumbasses. haven't you got something better for us?

smith rock. stay for monday. (it's a holiday, dude!) i thought bend was going a little overboard with a three-day pub club. not that i don't think those boys (and girls) could handle drinking for three days straight!

quote: Originally posted by wayne1112: I wonder if you have the guts to show up at all. i came to one not too long ago out at alki. i recognized one guy, chatted with him for a few minutes, and left. supposedly there were more people there, just outside "busy" somewhere. whatever. i thought it was lamer than hell. i'll be at the driving range tonight getting my agression out by hitting more balls than you'll have assembled downtown.

hey, if i could only buy one album, which one should it be?

i think a memorial is a great idea, but i wouldn't put it at the bottom of the climb where it happened. that's creepy. erect something nice and respectful in an area where people can feel at peace with it; not be scared off by it.
