Lambone

Hey Dwayner, I got one for ya, it is actually pretty sad, but I just can't resist the temptation. One of my bolt clipping buddies took a grounder in Red Rocks this year. His belay bitch thought he was going to rap off the anchors. He thought wrong. One 70 footer, a broken pelvis plus shattered limbs and two cracked vertebra later, my poor freind realized the importance of good comunication. Any way he's lucky to be alive. And so are you. It's interesting that gravity doesn't give a shit about a persons "values." Still, I am sure Lou would be proud of you.

S7 wants 75.95 for cotton pants. I got mine straight from the sweatshop child's hands for only 4.95 in Thailand! I wish I had bought my girls engagement ring there. You sure do know alot about the latest fasion trends. I know you've been drooling over those catologs! Time to retire old tighties huh. [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 06-02-2001).]

Bouldering rules. Enough said. Bolts are pretty. They promote a healthier environment. Clip'um if ya got 'em. And El Cap ain't no pile of choss. Muir and Clyde take Lou and Fred to school. And run out trad routes are for people with somethin' to prove. Go smoke a Bone!

Hey Jon, This came up before, but you guys should relly change those home page pictures. They are gettin' old fast. I'd help but I only have cool pictures from Montana and Yosemite. Guess its time to go climbin! Thanks for all the hard work.

Just for the record, I NEVER THREATENED ANYONE. Except Dwayner! Mike- I matt, and If you have any brains you even know where I work. Go smoke a BONE!!!! Wouldn't it be funny if I was really Dwayners alter ego! [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 06-02-2001).]

Hey Dru, F*#@ off, I din't say that I paid seven hundred bucks to fly in. My stupid old ex- boss did. I'm just another dirtbag who will someday have to walk in like everyone else. And I will like it. If you wan't to spray about epic approaches, bring it on! My stupid old ex-boss fired me for being late to work after I hiked 30 miles out of the Winds in a day with no food, a 50 lb. pack, and a partialy dislocated shoulder. Then I had to drive 5 hours back to Bozeman. Needless to say I slept through my alarm clock!

If you really want to beat this subject to death, let's talk about it somewhere else.

Hey erik, I'd like to see your flourescent lycra collection! Every generation has a fad, from army surplus, to pink stretch tights, to prana baggies, it's all the same only more expensive.

Roots baby!

I am recently engaged, but thanks anyway.

I don't know, you'd have to ask Tonebone. Maybe it had something to do with all the dope we used to smoke. "Role up a bone dude". We were just silly little college fools. I just wanted to carry abit of my heritige with me to the cascades. Call it nestalgia(?).

Ok, here is the deal. My last name is Lambert. My old buddies in Montana used to call me Lambone. The nick name just stuck. I never thought about doin' the nasty with lambs untill you perverted, sick bastards brought it up! Now that you know my last name, please don't track me down and kill me! -matt

Right on forrest, Not that anyone cares, but I am bored so I'll share another mini epic. We once had to drop a bike off for returning to the car on an Ice climbing outing In Cooke City, Wyoming. The climb went well, but I almost killed myself biking downhill on the ICY road afterwards, totaly out of control. I almost went head on into a monster snowplow! Those were the days... We went to look for sheep later that night!

Sorry to bore you guys, I am just getting fed up with people making fun of my username. It is destroying my self-esteme. I know that climbing comes second, after being accepted into the cascade climbers gang. But it scares me that Lambone will never do...I should just retire it.

Good call Jon. If you really want to be slick you can get a small square gas station reciept, about 1in. by 2in. Make sure it's faded with purple ink, then you can flash it on your way in and out at your lesiure. Becarefull, they won't like you if you get caught. And scope out the stuff around Saddlebag Lake just outside the gate. No hassels, awsome peaks, less tourists!

An old ex-friend/ ex-boss of mine climbed it once. He flew in by chopper with another party to split the cost. He said that its the way to go if you want to rally it light and fast in a day. Ethics Schmethics!

Yo pope, suck it! Naw, just kiddin' man. The rant was all my fault. I am just not very good about picking up on sarcasm. The issue that I was adressing is one that has bothered me since I began climbing 13 years ago. It's not about bolts, it's about attitudes. But it isn't fair to pin it on you guys. Like you said, we don't even know each other. Anyway, spray on 'cause it makes life interesting. And I'd still like to know if Donna can really top step. If so I'd be pretty damn impressed. I'm sure you two used to play some fun games with aiders!!

P.S. Don't be scared off by that old thread on the Rockfest 2001. Regardless of what some people think, we are going to have a good time! I promise not to rant and rave in the clinic!

We took stoves, but no fuel to Nepal on Northwest and Thai airlines. They were in our huge bags. No problems. But I have heard some horror stories! P.S. Don't put crampons in your carry on if traveling internationaly!!!!!!

I have got one of those, altough yours was a bit better. I was leading the stellar pitch in the geat circle of Zodiac when I looked down to see my knot almost completely untied. I was soooo close to losing the rope completely. Down aiding on scetchy heads with no rope would have made me crap my pants for sure. I use a saftey knot every time now. It only takes one of those close calls to lose a lazy attitude. Ay other scetchy close calls out there?

Don't forget to change your oil before going up the hill, and check your brakes before heading back down! Have fun.

Good question folks, that might be usefull information huh! The clinics start at 2:00 and go through 5:00 on Saturday June 9th. We might be able to go a little past five if folks want to. We plan to meet at the eight-mile butress. The most recent course I took in self rescue consited of two full eight hour days of intensive knot tieing and system set ups. So I am going to try and pick the most usefull and basic concepts to fit into our three hours. By all means it will be a good start for anyone who is new to self rescue. Please contact Feathered Friends for more specific details about the Rockfest. If you have more questions about the rescue clinic please feel free to ask. Thanks alot. -Matt

Hey "wankers", It's been fun, thanks for the insight. Believe it or not I really do have alot of respect for all you old schoolers who pioneered the climbing around here. Thanks for the hard work, I enjoy climbing on your classics. I hope I didn't step on anyone's toes too much. I am ussualy quite a passive sit on the fence post type. Sometimes when I get ranting about something I tend to trip over my words. Still it was all in good fun and debate. You guys stick with your beliefs and values, and I'll keep participating in all forms of climbing, and we'll all keep having fun. You can knock other climbers down as much as you want, my goal was to inspire you to think twice before you do. Make sure the climber you knock really deserves it first. I am going to start an all arounders climbing gang. Well have secret handshakes and all that soon enough, but I know that we will never be able to compete with the old school Trad Kings. Peace, Jah Love, it's all good!!!!!!!!!!!! -matt

Hey, all you so called environmentalist Trad climbers. Just in case you didn't notice... There are much bigger issues to bitch about than little bolts on a rock face that nobody (except climbers)give a shit about. Bolts harm nothing but the value that humans place upon the aestheics of nature. Personaly, when I go up to Index I am so struck by the huge quarry scar that I hardly notice the bolts. When the train roles by I can hardly hear the crowds below. If you think sport climbers are the biggest threat to your precious little cragging environment, you should dig a little deeper. If you were true environmentalist than you would quit your selfish climbing endeavors and spend your time doing something actively beneficial for the evironment. Think about that next time you load up the SUV and head out to Leavenworth. You talk about your values... well, show me the money! [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 05-31-2001).]

No Donna, you have mistaken me. I don't want to see you. I want to see you top step, on something other than slab. I could care less about what you look like. From pope's discription I'd rather go to the zoo.
