Cool, Dynamite, I'm figuring on letting the band's pass the hat, I might give em a twenty for gas money but that's about it- as for DJ, I don't think there's going to be power for that, a slide show is in the works but I think the generator use should be limited to that and some night climbing, if possible. As before, all assistance is much appreciated, hope to see some of you at the Pub Club- B.

Hear Ye hear ye, barring any dissent, the next meeting of the Cascade Climbers "We're Drinking Now" Pub Club is called for this Tuesday at Dante's Steak and Grog 5200 Rooseveldt Way NE University District To Dantes I-5 North or South take 50th St. exit to the east, less than a km on 50th cross rooseveldt,(one way South) take next available left to cut up a few blocks, come back to Rooseveldt Way, dantes is on the East side of the street, just across from Rainy Pass Outdoor Repair. Jim Nelson's just around the corner at like 54th and University, if any out of towners need to go to Pro Mountain Supply. Hope to see you all there, coz, "We're Drinkin' Now" Beck

I don't know ehmmic, I've been going back to wearing a wool sweater and it's got way more comfort range than fleece...I'm behind the rest of your post, however but , really, in response to Neri's original question,why do the assholes in the mountains usually have all the best gear? Because it's compensation for their dissatisfaction in everyday life, the same reason an unhappy housewife has to brag over how much this or that home improvement cost. But it's not the gear's fault. I wouldn't go judging anyone on how they look,or what label they wear, it's more by what they do and how they treat others at the same time.

I don't know , Pen he's a real BEAR that Teddy, and a total scoundrel, I couldn't stand to lose him again!! He'd be after you like a bear to honey, you buff 5.13 climbing stud! No, seriously, yes, I hope we can all make it to the megafest, and we have a cool place for it. Keep looking for updates on the Cascade Climbers' Fall Ropeup, location TBA, last weekend in September. "To assist climbers in fostering stewardship of the vertical environment"

Holding off on a change of venue, KOHO radio stated Bridge Creek held. Was in Lworth yesterday and it does look grim , suggesting second loc to be Tumwater CG...looking for suggestions...Beck

Was up in Lworth yesterday, local Koho radio had fire reports on and they said Bridge creek was saved.. however, the fire is 0% contained. Am considering another location , do any lworth local climbers have any good locations up the Tumwater or the Chiwawa Valley? I'll need to look into , any ideas for alt loc will be appreciated...we're looking for fee campground (group)with running water and relatively nearby bouldering. Tumwater CG looks like a good 2nd option, there is lots of good looking rock up by Chiwawa horse camp or across river from Alpine Meadows up the Chiwawa valley but haven't checked out the rock... any one out here have any opinions?

As my edit to this, I didn't realize I reposted my message. Se you guys there. [This message has been edited by Beck (edited 08-20-2001).]

Mark Twight's got some huevos grandes to pull off his style of climbing, that's for sure! His style of climbing may mirror our society's desire of thrillseeking and extreme sports culture. There are similar athletes in other sports or even facets of climbing. Reinhold Messner being the first on all 8000 meter peaks and soloing some of them for one, evokes the true nature of extreme alpinism. There's many others, other sports as well... how about Ned Gillete, was it, kayaked from California to Hawaii? or those wacked sportsers who row boats across the antarctic ocean? There's a great book out there, exploring the links between going to the extremes,climbing and mysticism called "Bone Games".. In it the author explores the link between pushing oneself and the divine. He theorizes that what moves many extreme alpininsts to climb the way they do is it puts them in the realm of the "that-which-cannot-be-named"- Fascinating reading about this subject on a broader level of understanding.

Well,as to location, I think, perhaps, the Udist is best , I can reccommend Dante's Steak and Grog, 5200 Rooseveldt Way NE, a couple of blocks away and 1 street over from Jim Nelsons' place out in the Udist (you all know where that is, don't you? just kidding.) If we can get consensus, Dante's Steak and Grog, I-5 N or S 50th st exit, east into university dist, I think Rooseveldt Way is one way to the south, so after crossing 50th and Rooseveldt( I think there's a TUBS hot tub place on the corner right there,hmm) , anyway, cut up north to put you past 5200 block of Rooseveldt and backtrack, pub on the east side of the street. Spund good? aAny Udist brethren have a more appropiate location?

The truth is in the details, pen...was that your best attempt at climbing fiction? see ya, I'll be ski mountaineering some beautiful snow this weekend and wishing it was you, me, Teddy Ruxpin and a bottle of coconut oil in my BD loveshack, wish you were here you buff climbing stud!!! p.s. you'd like my kevlar falsies, i had em made in California so I guess you guys are up to something good down there after all.

I see a BATTLECAGE situation... hehehe.... pen ,i want to see you write some better climbing humor or you don't deserve your mountain moniker, more like proken pencil i would think.

are you dissing me and Teddy's climbing history? naw, the doctor said I had to stop smoking crack if I wanted to get my hormone therapy started and they would rather have me drinking OLY or Shmidts' all day instead, gives me all girly curves I'm looking for. Pen, it's called writing fiction...

having met our esteemed collegue MattP at several Pubclubs, I will vouch for his integrity and doubt he would lower himself to post in the caustic inkwell our new friend pen is dipping himself in. no shit there i was, Teddy's up leading the next pitch on She's Gotta Blow and I'm nursing my nips with some verglas I scraped out of a deep crack. Teddy's calling for "slack" .. "more slack" as he's pulling a corner on the buttress. Well, turns out the snafflehound he was just buggering had fled HIGHER on the cliff when Teddy dropped her to grab the stitch plate on my last fall. I look up above me and I see him rounding back around the corner 40 feet higher in a rapid traverse, following this terrified snafflehound,and he's OBVIOUSLY AROUSED,across a heinous looking ledge. Not only that, he's failed to place any pro in his amorous attempts at buggering her again, his drops his toe off a razor edged pinsized rib and takes a huge fall, lucky I had stuffed my last beanie babies in a bomber crack at the belay station, he still nearly took us both down!!! that f---er's lucky I'm still his dedicated bitch!Oh Teddy Ruxpin I think I love you!

You're right, Jman, that was NOT my intent at all, my apologies to our esteemed collegue Chongo- but that squirrel, he has huge huevos, no?

Wow pen you sure are impressive- what do you use when your nips get sore underneath your kevlar falsies? do you guys have mountains in California?Wow, how great you must be down there, you definetly got me jealous- if you can find your way out of the golden shower state and actually read a map, show up at the fall fest and we'l put you in the battlecage with cavey- no shit, there i was, me and Teddy Ruxpin on the fourth pitch of She's Gonna Blow and I look over and Teddy's got this snafflehound in a twisted love embrace just as I take a peel and he nearly lets me crater he couldn't get his hands off the little rat fast enough... I took it hard in the kevlar falsies and that's when I decided to have THE OPERATION, make Teddy Ruxpin happy with me once and for all

yeah I was using coconut oil but those two stewardess I was "climbing" with a few weeks ago wiped out my supply, I'll look for the hoof cream, is it anything like Bag Balm? Thanks for all the advice it's real great to get such quality feedback-

Would you look at the chongos on that squirrel!!! Jon, he looks rabid dude, probably a bad case of nuts I would say!

Everytime I get near a microwave in my crossdressing climbing rig I get an annoying sensation underneath my kevlar falsies- irritates the hell out of my nips, wonder if anyone has any suggestions...

If anyone wants to go skiing this weekend I'm either heading up to Fortress Mountain outside of Trinity or the White River mer de glace up by the Kololo Peaks via a carry in off the Mountain loop hiway sauk river if anyone wants to go give me a shout at work today 206 682-5424 Beck

could be too many bits in the server cache and it's shed it's memory or it's POND POND POND ALERT ALERT ALERT ABANDON SHIP see you guys at the next pubclub have a great weekend!!

Too cool, Mattp, we'll have to talk about it at the next fest we're both at.

Smells like tropicana where I'm eating... anyone know how to get coconut oil out of a tent fly?

second Whopper, and Eldo is nice, Daniel, why not, just run laps up and down the glaciers if you need more snow...lol

Yeah, I climb in drag sometimes, that's why I posted about the woman's shell, first hand knowledge...you should see what's hanging from my harness... Yeah, my secret's out, it is Rebecca and I'm getting the operation soon... I was sick and tired of thinking I was a lesbian trapped in a man's body, I always want to eat pussy or hang out with naked chicks and a bottle of coconut oil in the tent when every one else is out in the blizzard... the Doctors told me to drink Olympia and Shmidts exclusively to start working on my girly figure to help the hormones work easier... first they need to go in and replace my brain with a pea, they said snafflehound brain was too much of a step up and it could foul the sex change holding, so if you see Teddy Ruxpin tell him I'll be better soon!!
