Two firefighters are buttfucking in a smoke filled room. Their captain walks in and shouts, "What the hell are you guys doing!?" The guy on top says, "I'm treating him for smoke inhalation." The captain says, "That's no way to treat for smoke inhalation, you're supposed to give mouth-to-mouth." to which the guy on the bottom responds, "How do you think this whole thing got started?"

BTW anyone else interested it is at the cross streets of NE 72nd and 28th Ave.NE I own an ancient book on climbing in the kascades that shows this boulder with a bunch of guys and ropes and stuff on it. The caption says it was "buried" by a housing development in north Seattle. Buried but not covered. BTW: Du bist welkommen

Buildering: The excellent handcrack/expansion joints of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the water tower traverse at Volunteer Park are fun little diversions. Intown bouldering (besides the UW rock):Just north of the U a block or two east of 25th Ave NE, between 65th and 75th is a glacial eratic smack dab in the middle of a residential area. It is 3-4 steps from the curb, and is situated as though it is it's own little park, with the sidewalk on one side and the street on the other. I don't remember the exact cross streets, but if you polk around a bit you can't miss it. It is the size of a small house. There are some wicked hard problems on it. There is another erratic at the north end of the private airport slightly north and west of Martha Lake up by Mill Creek. It doesn't have the difficulty of the Seattle boulder, but it is worth a visit. The airport is soon to become sports fields, so the boulder will probably continue to be accessible. I know of a third on in the Edmonds area, right at the entrance to a trailer park across from the vetrinarian office as you are driving to the ferry. It's on private property and access is sketchy. Does anybody know of any others? [ 12-09-2001: Message edited by: ScottP ]

That is why I am trying to figure out why he is sprayin about it and even sending images etc. You're the one who brought up the subject. I posted the image in response to Chuck's malevolent request that you post the directions. quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman on 12/5: What I am is an Angry Climber. Scott you are sooo cool. By the way. Why do you bother to send me private messages of topos to a crag and no directions? I dont care what route you did. Just what route I am gonna do. To which I resonded:"Lucy, you're an idiot. It wasn't a climbing topo, it was a topo map. You know, like with roads and trails and those elevation lines that are really close together that show where the steep stuff is.I sent it to you because late last spring I told you I would tell you where it was, bonehead.Just trying to be nice.A big mistake on my part, thinking you would appreciate the attempt" Remember?

quote: Originally posted by Lambone: Do you think that is because of the climbing guide, or might it had something to do with the highway that is blazed up to the top of Little si??? I don't know, I'm just curious...haven't been around here that long. The trail had been there long before I first started climbing there. I don't think the trail had as much to do with it as the number of routes and the proximity to Seattle quote: If this place is such a secret, why are you talking about it on this public forum? Do you have some thing to prove, or what? I have nothing to prove. If you look back earlier in this thread, you will see that Lucy...I mean that cavedude brought it up. A while back, I jokingly offered to sell the directions to the highest bidder in the Garage Sale forum. At that time, I mentioned as how I might post the directions after I had done a couple of the lines I had my eye on. That is all. As far as I am concerned, the subject is dropped unless someone asks me more about it.

quote: Originally posted by chucK: Canis Crag? What kind of a sissy name is that anyway? Sounds like an English teacher named it or something. Note that is does rhyme with anus Crag, or anus rag, shag, drag? You really oughta rename it Double Dead Dog Wall. That's what I think,Chuck Canis= latin for dogPronounced "can" as in trash can, "is" as in "miss"I originally named it Dead Dog Wall, but the alliteration in Canis Crag flows better.Either way, it is a pretty cool place to hang out.

In the Sept 15, 2000 (the "Epics" double issue) Climbing Mag's Vantage Point article (in the back) the concept of ice dams is discussed. Some points made: --They tend to be found where wide fluctuations in temps occur. --They form at the upper end of steeper ground, at the face of benches where water can pool. --Usually there are no tell-tale seeps or fractures because if there are, the pressure doesn't build. Hope this helps.

quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman: Whatever ScottP. I bet if we met we would certainly get along fine. Unless you are gay or something. Have fun at your secret Dead Dog Crag. Looks like fun. That's what I have always thought. (Does this mean that you're not going to hit me in the melon with a club and kick me in the nuts?) BTW, I'm not gay.

quote: Originally posted by chucK: Malevolent?? There you go with those english-teacher words again. Sorry for the perceived malevolence. It's just that I've been hearing about these damn Two Terminated Terriers Terraces for so damn long ( Google doesn't even have the original[?]rec.climbing posts anymore) I felt I needed to go to extreme measures to find some closure on this issue. Issue closed. quote: As for other provocative topics, where does this "Lucy" nickname come from? Is there some story behind this? Chuck In 1975, a paleontologist named Donald Johansen found the first complete hominid skeleton in the Great Rift Valley of Africa. He nicknamed the female skeleton Lucy. Lucy was, in effect, a cavewoman. BTW, both of my parents were english teachers.

quote: Originally posted by Dru: Looks like youi got some vegetation issues to deal with there. AGENT ORANGE IT! Actually, it is pretty clean. This parallax view doesn't show the clean sweeps of granite, nor the actual width of the crag.

quote: Originally posted by MysticNacho: Scott~ Are you going to tell us where this place is, or is this hush hush? Please? [ 12-06-2001: Message edited by: MysticNacho ] I have a question for you. Did you ever climb at Little Si before all the bolts went in and the guide was published? It was a beautiful, pristine place to hang out. Quiet and peaceful. The base of the crags was covered in carpets of moss, lichens and ferns.Now look at it. I used to think I should publicize the location of Canis Crag, but now... I don't think so.

quote: Originally posted by MysticNacho: Fetid carcasses? Good gravy man, whats going on down there? Osama's not hiding under the overhang, is he? where is this place of wonder, by the way? [ 12-06-2001: Message edited by: MysticNacho ] There are two dead dogs at the base of this crag, complete with collars and leashes. They look to be a matching set based on the terrier-like fur. My guess is they were on a walk with the owners and either fell or were tossed from the top.

quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman: French Free that shit. Sounds like some alpine shit The elevation is around 3000' The OW looks aesthetic. The chimney doesn't.I have done 3 routes now and there is room for probably 75-100. It's a cool spot despite the fetid carcasses.

I doubt I will do the chimney. Too dirty and loose-looking. The offwidth I haven't been on yet, if ever. It looks really hard.

quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman: Flamethrower on da bitch I dont see any offwidth or chimney? The chimneys kinda groty. It makes up the left-hand corner of the obvious buttress you see in the picture. The offwidth can't be seen from this view. If you bisect the picture lateral and longitudinal, you will see an overhang in the lower left quadrant. The offwidth goes through that. It is a wicked looking thing.

quote: Originally posted by MysticNacho: I like how no matter what the topic, caveman changes the subject and somehow starts an online slander-fest. The original topic continues, but the ol' captain already has a different conversation going filled with one sentence posts. Funny how that works. Me thinks Lucy's got some issues...

quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman: I never did the route after Mikey put in da new stuff. However I really thik yes it was your opinion but you are a punk ass bitch to spray all over the internet like you did. Hows about even providing the info to Jeff Smoots site and all. What da fu?! You forget when you are in the wrong quickly. I pee on you. You are a hypocrite to be talking about "spraying all over the Internet". Look at your signal to noise ratio. You defame people every day for sport and then jump on me for stating my opinion. I provided the info to Smoot's site for the same reason Mike did to rec.climbing and this site:Fucked up bolts on TC needed to be advertised. You're conclusion jumping, based on incomplete info.

quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman: Caveman hits ScottPeePee in the melon with club. Scott I was referring to the TC fiasco you created. I climbed city park before and thought the bolts were fine. Why do you ask if you already know Beyatch Oh, I see. Well, I didn't really defame anybody. It was pretty much just an airing of my opinion that the TC bolt ladder should have been left alone. I can see why you got your undies in a bunch, though... being that you like the new one better than the original. "Why do you ask if you already know Beyatch"I'm not sure what you're referring to.
