damn... hey is it Beer-thirty yet?

"All you're Base belong to us" was my personal favorite of dwayny's quirky links... but jon's weeeeeeee was good for a laugh too. I know they are faily common on the net, but I saw them here first.

vey sad news. I didn't know him, but it allways just sucks to hear one of us went down in the hills. DFA, although I think your hummor is a great addition to this site, you may want to refrain in accident threads. It's no laughing matter...0.2$

Roger's kicks ass, two thumbs up. Not all the rock at Index has to be perfect, it's even got the ancient rusty 1/4 incher for added ambiance, I allways clip it just for fun! Still havent done Lizard, but I will havta try that recomended variation.

I'm suprised noone has said it yet, GO DO "BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS" Solid 10a, perfect hands, cool exposure, pump factor and solid pro the whole way! Great climb! My favorite way to do it is to make one short pitch from the grounsd to the chains on Rogers Corner, then link the second pitch of Rogers with Breakfast. Clip the slings on the tree and keep going. If you are smart about your pro you can do this with one set of cams. Take up to #3 camolot, maybe 2 #1's and #2's if you like to sew it up. The fall is totaly clean. Also with two 60m ropes you can do one long spacy rap to the deck, very cool added bonus. Becarefull, as I have experienced rock fall from the top in that area. Have fun!

Check this out: Ben's Beta pretty spot on. the ridge is eaisier to approach than the west ridge, but the descent is worse. Climbing is pretty straightforward, and never too difficult, although sometimes over large very loose perched blocks. Some rally cool arete traverses. Have fun!

quote: Originally posted by Greg W: Regardless, the Forest Service under previous administration was prevented from performing clearing operations that would remove excessive fuel from forest areas. Potentially, this has led to some of the fires we have seen in the past 6-8 years. Controlled thinning sounds like a responsible MANAGEMENT of this resource. Why don't you wait to see the fine points of this plan before the kneejerk reaction? Just a thought. Greg W Clinton passed a bill that gave so many millions towards the clean up of forest litter around Lake Tahoe, and general maintnence ofthe basin and Lake. Don't know all the details, but it was a big deal down there a few years back, and is still going on.

quote: Originally posted by Gary Yngve: In John Long's "Close Calls," there is a hilarious account of some big-wallers who pack some clubs and a few hundred balls into their haul bag, and once they found a suitable ledge, turned the Valley into a driving range. Innocent tourists were getting bombarded, car windows were getting smashed... Fights were breaking out in the parking lot... The rangers were trying to figure out where the balls were coming from but couldn't. That would be pretty damn fun, youd need a big ledge though...or else clock your partner up side the head! Bring a helmet for that one!

just kiddin about the secret lover thing... I just get a kick of how you talk up Mike like your his agent! Reminds me of Jerry Meguire! defenatley a badass

I just don't care because the don't touch the place in my heart that is moved by music. I don't identify fish fans as hippies at all, though I'm sure many catch their show as they pass through. Phish has nothing to do with the classic eugene scene and I'm glad. I never said they were bad, I just think it's sad that people plan each NYE around a show. Makes them look like a Billy Graham deal w/ that kind of devotion. I think it's pretty hard to find any real hippes these days. Or any real rastafarians for that matter. I think most of the once middle class white kids whove chosen poverty and dreads for the sake of Jah, just don't have any other direction. Then theres the trusties Hippes never did much to change the state of the world that they hate so much anyway... I just like the music and the lights. And that feeling you get when every one screams and freaks out at once, just like at a Mariners game...

since when do you find putting greens next to big walls? He better becarefull not to impale himself with that ice axe!

I met your secret lover, i'd have to say that i'm more impressed by his nice personality rather than his climbing resume. Although it'd be nice to learn some of that speed shit from him.

NEVER!

yeah, NoFX...now there is talent for ya

quote: Originally posted by sk: quote:Originally posted by Dru: a lot of Phish's music is just self-indulgent musical wanking, though. i mean so what if the dude can play guitar while bouncing on the trampoline if they're gonna make albums like HOIST now PRIMUS good dru makes a verry valid point here. I also read something that lammy wrote about the phish guy claiming that plaing music was alot like sex.... I have always thought that was the case... I find this verry interesting. so what would you say to a musician that does not have this experience???? are they doing something wrong???? What is Dru's point exactly? I respond, so what if the dude can play the guitar on a trampoline? Big deal, it's just for fun. Phish was spawned out of the 80's and alot of their onstage antics were just a comical response to the "Hair Bands" of the day who took themselves way to seriously. Those gimics were an attempt to make each night a different experience, and involve the croud in the show. Ever hear of the secret language, or the big ball jam??? Stupid maybe, yeah...but doesn't it feel good to actualy be a part of a show, rather than just another spectator forking out big $ for a rehearsed wired production. This is what I allways loved about Phish, the band seemed just like some other guys in the room with everybody, except that they could blow your mind, or drop the energy with a heartbeat. What I have noticed about people who rag on Phish is that they realy have no idea of the bands history, or how they evolved over 16 years of playing together. As for your second point sk, I'm sure every artist gets something different out of what they due, but esentialy the act is self indulgent, similar to climbing. The thing that makesPhish different than alot of other bands is the effort they put into including their fans in what they do. That what is makes a Phish show special, for me at least. Oh, and the psychedelics help, but arn't nessecary.

greeeaat... it's kinda funny that the Bibler website does not have any information about warranty or repair.

yeah, now a days it's cool to hate phish your a trend setter e-dog

I fell glissading on monday with a big fat Raindog pack on, didn't spear myself...but I think I had whiplash. Dale R told me a story about this guy he saw up at ICY BC walking around at the base without crampons. He slipped and put his ice tool deep into his knee. He said that inorder for them to get him out the guy had to pull the thing out on his own.No one there would do it for him. Sounds gnarly.

totaly

Actually, trey doesn't really play while on the tramp (other than strum a chord or two)...but mike does. Tell me what music isn't self indulgent wanking? Like Les Claypool isn't??? Sure man whatever. Ever hear of Oysterhead? Anyway, it's not like Trey doesn't admit to it. Here is a pharaphrase quote from Bittersweet Motel. "When were jaming it's like an orgasim for me...so when I'm playing it's like I'm coming the whole time!" Kinda of gross yeah, but tell me you haven't thought the same thing at least once on a stellar route. [ 08-22-2002, 08:50 AM: Message edited by: Lambone ]

I think it's funny how anytime Phish is mentioned, they are allways judged based on the majority of fans that follow them. Can you imagine how frustrating that must be for them, considering they are your ordinary jeans and t-shirt kinda guys who just like to play improve music. Not that I wouldn't trade anything to be a rock star
