Lambone

Livingston, Montana It fits all your criteria to a tee, and is only a half hour from Bozeman. Just watch out for the locals, they don't take kindly to stangers!

Awhhhh his routes are cool, sandbagging keeps the ego in check...

Hmmm... panther= Donna Top Step???? Just a guess, I know she hates me for some stupid reason. But I don't care, really... By the way, back to the original topic- The Vertical World has the best routes of any gym I've climbed in. Plastic or not, moves are moves...

Tough love man, get it straight. You dirty bird... [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 08-16-2001).]

JT, nice! You been to his little shop up on Queen Anne?

Erik, Don't forget to mention that an AMGA certified guide from several years ago may have significantly different credentials than one who went through the course recently. Considering how much the standards have changed... [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 08-16-2001).]

Tripple cracks pitch and the one above it on the Sheild Headwall. It don't get anymore spiltter than that, too bad its all beaten up

Dude I couldn't go (LAME!!!), I've been up all night writting one last stupid fucking term paper. And occasionally sprayin on this site. I'm putting the finishing touches on as we speak. I would have been done two weeks ago if it wasn't for Caveman! I'd be interested to hear a report, anyone else check it out? [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 08-16-2001).]

I'd agree with erik. Support the little guy! I also have a close friend who runs a private guiding buisness out of Seattle. I have worked with him on occasion and climbed with him in Nepal. Matt's a great guy who leaves his ego in the city when he heads into the mountains. The buisness is called Four Winds. He is way less expensive than AAI, Madness, etc... He only takes small private groups. And he will teach you as much as you are willing to learn. He guides South Early Winter quite often, so as long as it doesn't rain you can count on having a good trip! Send me a private message if you'd like his phone #. Thanks-matt [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 08-16-2001).]

Sorry then, all this talk about multiple screen names just got me assuming... I just figured anyone calling me a fucker would be you in disguise! Looks like this panther is trying to start somethin'...he's wasting his time. I'm done with spray wars.

I just got a Marmot Precip, and I've got to say that I love it. It's breathable, its super light, and for 99 bucks I wont be devestated if it gets beat up. I have yet to test it in really fowl weather though, its been too sunny! I think they make sizes specific for women, definately check 'um out.

"Big route" is also a pretty relative term. I only mention it because I am super jealous, HAVE FUN! Good luck finding a good partner.

Or just have to work alot! Summer school sucks.

I have met alot of the Mountain Madness staff, and most of them are pretty cool. I think that the quality of your guide could make or break the trip. Or not... There is a difference between having a guide, and being dragged up something by one. There is no shame in learning from one. Just make him give you your moneys worth, ie. question everything and learn something. Going with a small group obviously has its advantages. The important thing is to enjoy the climb and the scenery. Have fun-matt

Oh relax...Unlike some other sprayers out there, I've got nothing to hide. In fact, I encourage anyone out there in cyberland to come down to the gym and meet me in person. Who knows, you might actually enjoy yourself! As for the wicked spray, it's a bore-YAWWWN... [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 08-15-2001).]

hahahahahahahahahahDude, where do you dig this shit up? Will there ever be a day without a flame war? Thanks jon, I needed that. [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 08-15-2001).]

Sorry to hear that... What is a normal income anyway, and why don't I have one? Sounds like you are the one with the piss poor attitude...

"Get out the belay gun." says the third to the second as the first leads a three hour C2 pitch. "Shut up and finish the pitch you bitch!" after the leader is finished making excuses. "Dude, I told you to bring more batteries!" works in any situation.

Thanks TIM, For abruptly ending that worthless swap of spray. It seems that any reference to the "secret club" will be cut short. To anyone whom I offended, or annoyed, or bored to death, here is a big fat SORRY. Avoid reading posts by lambone in the future. Its been a wonderfull intelectual experience gentlemen, but I'm out of here! Keep it real, and be nice!!!!! [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 08-14-2001).]

Maybe you shouldn't name your new routes after the Clan then Caveman.
