Lambone

Works just as well as any 3-ply Gor-tex coat I've ever had. And weighs half as much . Mine is still new, so it hasn't been put to the age test yet. I'm sure the DWR will wear off like any other coat. I'm more woried about the inner lamanite(sp?) getting dirty with sweat + grime. But then again, that happened with my $300 3-ply also. Like hasbeen said, it is a bit baggy. But I put my hood on under my helmet, so I like the trim cut that it has. Actually It's the best simple hood I've ever used! I'd say it's better than the Lowe version.

hey Phil, What is the elivation at the Pass? Around 5,000ft... Oh, duh...nevermind. [ 11-13-2001: Message edited by: lambone ]

Dave, I hear you!!!! I got to put the boards on!(still haven't yet) I think it is raining at Paradise, so WA Pass might be the best option. I have two good friends that might want to come. Would you mind a posse? If anyone has news on current conditions anywhere, please share!

Holly, Could you please enlighten us. What the hell are you talking about? Some dudes trying to figure out how to yell:YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!!! in spanish? [ 11-13-2001: Message edited by: lambone ]

Watch it K, you don't want to bring on the wrath of Larson!

There is a used pair at Feathered Friends (like new). I think about $100 bucks. They will probably sell fast. I have a pair that I'd sell for $50. You wouldn't want them though cause they are thrashed on.

Is that supposed to be some sort of threat? I'm sure everyone is just so glad that you shared that thought with us. Thanks Dan

Maybe the people complaining about you tools smokin out the hut don't want to get high in any way, shape, or form!? Are you so ignorant/ arrogant that you think someone who chooses and works to live a different lifestyle than you somehow has less rights to the mountains and it's facilities than you? ...pretty lame, guys. I think that the contact high theory is a myth. But I'd agree with you Charlie. People shouldn't be hot boxin a public facility. A pull off a one hitter thats held in is one thing, but roasting up a fat bowl or joint is a little much. On the other hand charlie, it sounds like a majority of the anti-pot posters on this thread are saying that stoners don't belong in the mountains. Thats pretty lame, and its about the only reason that I'm voicing my opinion here.

quote: Originally posted by Dan Larson: Once again Eric You WERE e-mailed and called repeatedly I was very concerned about you coming out here for no reason. You still have the ignorance to think I should have gone climbing with you instead of seeing my father on his death bed. What an idiot . As for special k and Lambone Losers , Special K says everybody give Dan shit .What apussy loser. I am sure that if anyone confronted you out there you wouldn't be kickin no balls. Like I said before the losers are everywhere. And you say that stoners lack character Pops, you are at least twice my age, and listen to you...it sounds like you just got out of 5th grade, you "apussy loser." Why don't you just stick to your coporate desk job and keep you nose out of things that you are totaly ignorant about - like climbing. You have been guided up Ranier and the Tooth or whatever, great. That does not qualify you to pass judgements upon other climbers actions.

Can't take a little joke mister defensive. Fine, I guess you won't get a signed Big Lou poster. I'll just have to give it to some one who will appreciate it...your flaming is getting old. Good night

quote: Originally posted by Dan Larson: Hey Lameboy You little wimp . I remember meeting you at v-world I seriously doubt you are half as good as you ever told your mother you were. as far as my climbing ability I take it seriously and have learned and done alot this last year . Seriously put alot into it. Your remarks are totally off base. My opinion of stoners and thier lack of character are justified . You are irresponsible and careless . Nice language fella you must have a short memory..Dan Yeah, and I still have that poster that I asked Big Lou to sign for you sitting in my locker. What happened, you never came back in? As for you big fella, you don't know anything about me. But I will tell you this. My dad put a lot of time and effort into his midlife crisis as well. These days it's just a picture on the wall that he brags to his friends about What you said pissed me off a little bit because some of my best friends (who are bad ass climbers, safe, responsible, carefull, motivated, all of that) also smoke lots of dope. I don't, but whatever...I was mostly just pushin your buttons. My opinions of newbie mountaineers are justified as well, and supportable. For instance, take a look at a copy of Accidents in North American Mountaineering sometime. Then tell me how many reports claim that accident victims were stoned. Ok, now how many accident victims were inexperienced climbers. Or were victims of rock fall/avalances caused by inexperianced climbers. Or were rescuers who were injured or killed while rescuing inexperienced climbers. Still think that pot is the problem....? Anyway, glad your still into it, be safe. See ya round, come grab that poster sometime, it's covered in chalk dust and smells like my Sportivas. [ 11-13-2001: Message edited by: lambone ]

The possibilities for dirty comments and cheap insults are endless! Enlighten me as to the true meaning... Ahhhh but then what?What the hell is a Mystic Nacho anyway?If you were really curious you could dig into last years archives and find some entertaining dirty coments and cheap insults. I think the thread was something about pope and Dwayner's hate for sport climbers, it was one of the first four page anti-bolt sprayfests. I came to the defense of sport climbers and gym rats, and got royaly slammed. Jon, that ones been done. So you still haven't won my favorite piece of climbing gear. Keep trying...

SideNote: For all of those who like to puff on Mt. Rainer-Possesion of herb or herb utensils in a National Park is a Federal Offense! I have several friends who got busted in either Yosemite or Yellowstone. Those bastards don't fuck around, be carefull. Oh yeah, and whatever you do, don't get busted in Nevada (Red Rocks).

Ok, Mr. Scott - sorry to hear that little story. It was more than I needed to know about you, but whatever. First- Why did you post your silly complaint in the first place if you did not want to here other peoples personal opinions? These are my opinions, don't take them personaly. Second- Don't call me Lamebone asshole! I never said anything about kicking you in the balls. I challanged you to complain to the pot smokers (in person). And by the way, I don't smoke pot....often Third- I got on your case and called you a yuppie because well, thats what we sprayers do. You put your self out there to be shot down. What did you expect? Good luck in your future climbs. Have fun, don't let other people get you down. (hint- never stay in Camp 4, you will not like it) [ 11-12-2001: Message edited by: lambone ]

What? Dude are you stoned...

How about it then??? Whatcha got, you are a climber aren't you?

Dude we get your point. Not only are you stupid, your ignorant too. [ 11-12-2001: Message edited by: lambone ]

Right on, I have a Big Blue too!

quote: Originally posted by Dan Larson: Stoners are just another hazard on the slopes and on climbs.Those who are truly responsible climbers wouldn't dream of getting high while out there.I dumped 2 climbing partners who were smart enough to think just because I wasn't smoking I didn't mind they do it in my presence.Uptight ? not at all but this stuff has it's place and it is not in my face or as another objective hazard. We have enough to be concerned with out there. I know it makes you ski better or climb better (B.S.) When you fall in that crevasse remember the loops don't go around your dick and neck. Too bad we have to deal with the idiots out there. Dude you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Do the math, gumbies who just finished the basic mountaineering course and think they know everything about climbing are the idiots who create hazards in the mountains. (yeah, I'm talking about you) Peaks that would make you shit your pants have been climbed by bad ass alpinists that function best when baked. Example: First Ascent of Polar Sun Spire. Don't know what I'm talking about...listen up. 50+ days on the wall. More full day A5 pitches than you could count with both hands. Here's a quote from Warren Hollingers slide show - "Our most valuable piece of equipment was the herb kit." Duck taped bowl, lighter, and stash container carried on lead to be used when a good marginal body-weight placement was found. Go climb something besides the Yak route on Rainer before you start declaring what makes someone a good or bad climber. Get your second year under your belt before you start dissing people that toke and climb. Uptight, yes...I am. Two words- Fuck off. [ 11-12-2001: Message edited by: lambone ]

Woooaaaahhh...$800 for alpine skis, damn dude they must be pretty good huh???

Poor Scot'terx, So you don't like ganga smoke, boo-hoo, I feel so sad that your cabin experience was ruined. Or were you just bummed cause you couldn't make your double mochachinolatte with vanilla cream in the warm cabin, awwww. Couldn't warm your toesy-wosies before braving the vicious elments on the extreme muir snowfield, darn't all shucks to hell. Just had to pout outside in the wind Wait hold on... did you even ask them to stop smoking while you were there? Or did you just decide to voice your complaint behind the veil of your secret login name? Show some balls, stoners generally arn't people to be afraid of! In my opinion, the only reason you should be complaining is if they did'nt offer you any! I fucking hate that! If you don't have enough to share with everyone, go puff in private... [ 11-12-2001: Message edited by: lambone ]

Fuck Terrorism! But it's to bad that bombs are the only solution to this problem.

Bring the nuggets and were on!
