What's the difference between Michael Jackson and acne? Michael Jackson doesn't come on your face until you're 14.

Yeah the valleys got upsides and downsides. Its definetly not remote alpine wilderness. But it sure is a great place to get fast and strong and have a shit load of fun!!

Damn dude go ahead and join the militia hang out with Ted Kaszinski and shit.

Ubiqitous head band. Sweatshirt with arms and neck cut off. knee socks. Looks like John Long. All around 80's style.

That's what Osama thought. Now look at him.

All he tells me is how to climb a crack I already know how to climb. That's why he's coach. Uh he told me a story about how he impressed his Dad by throwing a beer bottle in the air and then throwing another beer bottle at the first beer bottle and breaking it. But now I've repeated his story, oh oh.

Ring Tail harrassing my ass all night after three days on Zodiak. But here's the real critter story. These two old-school bad ass Missoula area climbers, Grey and Brad, wanted to do this FA on this crack up at Lolo Pass but there was all these rats living up in there. So they go back to town get all these supplies right. Go back to the crack, and Brad dumps like 4 gallons of unleaded into the crack while Grey hangs out with his old six-shooter in hand. Brad lights the crack on fire and all these pissed-off huge-ass squealing rats come busting out a few seconds later. Grey empties his handgun shooting at all the Rats and misses every single last one. But they got all the rats out of there and climbed the damn thing. I don't think it was that great a crack, but till this day its all black and charred on the wall around the crack.

You forgot Coach, from UW practice rock. Coach, Largo, Henry Rollins, Ray Bourbon = same person.

YOu mean your not taking a summer-long road trip to Vantage?

Glen Plake flies his freak flag high. But since he's old school bad ass and funny as hell and can ski the shit out of bumps in 215cm women's downhill boards he's an icon. Just trying to say that not all women's ski gear is weak.

Due to forsaking the local economy and supporting some greasy Spanish dude, I'm the Proud new owner of some LaSportiva Cobras for 30 bones less than I would pay here.

quote: Originally posted by carolyn: The first time I was asked to belay a leader I was told to keep enough slack in the rope in order to not pull them off. The person leading, and those who I have belayed since then probly had falling furthest from their mind (as they were climbing something way below their level). Common sense says to brake if they fall. [ 02-13-2002: Message edited by: carolyn ] To answer your question: If the person you're belaying hangs, dogs, pulls on gear, or engages in any other sort of "bad-form" they get ten feet of penalty slack. If they do it again, they get ten more, and so on. I always try to let the leader know how much penalty slack they've accumulated as they approach the crux to give them a little extra motivation. So as they're desperately hanging off greasy slopers, wheezing, and full-on sewing machine leg, you can yell-up "I wouldn't fall, you've got twenty feet of penalty slack -- you might deck!!"

Sleeping bag returned to me without my "friend" saying anything. Noticed the next day the two gaping burn holes in the nylon. Trying to sleep a little "too close" to the camp fire? Since it was an older non high-performance bag, couldn't really ask for any restitution. And the chick I lent it to was way flakey anyway.

SpecialEd sucks ass for flaking on going to the bar.

One young dude who was working there was way cool and gave my bro good ass beta for the Fischers (angles, angles, angles) and I have one of there pigs which was a great value. Their ledges looked pimp too.

I knew this Hoods in the Woods instructor who had the misfortune of supervising Jeb Bush's daughter (the one who just got arrested for illegally possesing prescription drugs) on a hoods in the woods trip. Apparantly this Bush chick was all fucked up from eating whole sheets of acid and doing coke and shit. Nearly insane from all the drugs she took. I get irate when ever I hear "W" going off about how we have to increase our efforts on the war on drugs. All the drugs the Bush family has bought and used is probably enough to support a few Columbian drug cartels alone. Kind of hyprcritical. [ 02-13-2002: Message edited by: specialed ]

Canadian music = synth based pop

Glen Plake free skis on 215cm women's downhill boards only.

It would be worth a try if you could find a sled to get in there with

Dwayner: Do you have a boyfriend? Girl: Yes. Dwayner: Can he climb 10c offwidth? Girl: No Dwayner: Neither can I. [ 02-12-2002: Message edited by: specialed ]

That is, perhaps, the funniest picture I have ever seen.
