Paul Pritchard "Deep Play": Hey I'm a young climbing punk living off the dole in Britian eating shrooms and smoking grass. I'm way poor but I climb every day. I went to the big mountains and climbed lots of them. The End. Paul Pritchard "The Totem Pole": A big rock hit me on the head... now what was I saying?

Het Will, do you know my boy Solin, from Atlanta. I don't know his last name, but how many people are named Solin? I know Atlanta's a big city, but climbing community tends to be small eh?

Dude, just makin a simple joke. It would be bad form to diss on someone for their religion, Christian or otherwise. I'm just prone (NPI) to juvenile humor. Too many episodes of South Park I guess. [This message has been edited by specialed (edited 06-28-2001).]

dude your ruining the adventure. We've just got to go and find out for ourselves

Try Mountain Gears website. One piece of beta: after you've glued, place the shoes face down on your driveway, and roll over them with your car wheels. Leave them overnight, and they'll be perfectly cured.

How bout those speed cooler things they have in the beer stores in Can. Beer warm, put beer in cold water, wait, take beer out, beer cold. Drink beer.

That does sound like a dope ride. I'll give you $145.99 for it.

You know what the best thing about Oregon is: Tall Dog 6-packs of PBR. Haven't seen em in Washington.

Does he enjoy the missionary position?

If I had even so much as been mildly splattered with poo, I seriously would have.

You have a Christian wall partner!? What's that like? Is he/she like a serious religious zealot, or just kinda sorta believes in God or something.

Dru: My favorite when I'm visiting our wonderful neighors to the north, Old Style Pilsner, eh? Good enough for ALex Lowe, good enough for me!

Dude fecal projectiles on El Cap. Gnarly. I once had a brown paper bag full of shit land about 15 feet from where I was standing at the base of the Grand Wall at Squamish. The fucking knuckleheads who dropped it (on purpose) weren't even on a "wall", it was like grade IV. Take a shit before you get on the climb, please! If that bag had hit me, I swear I would have hiked up the Chief to the top-out and waited for those fuckers. Karmas a motherfucker though. The shit droppers got their ropes stuck on the last pitch. We rapped down (we only climbed to the top of split pillar that day) and were at the car drinking beer, watching them struggle to get their ropes unstuck and laughing at their dumb asses.

I'd be interested in that information too. It looks like a cool route - the most obvious one on the wall, but I haven't done it. Hey, I've got an idea, let's do it this weekend! [This message has been edited by specialed (edited 06-28-2001).]

The best beer is the one you drink after being in the backcountry for multiple days, drinking nothing but water and tang. Same with burgers: hunger is the best spice.

What you want to know about upper town wall?

What exactly is a stubborn turd? It would be a good name for a route. "Be careful on the third overhang of Stubborn Turd, its way runnout"

It couldn't hurt. I don't have any specific plans to do the shield, though its a distinct possibility. And I'm not going till September. But if you've got the extra time I'd be interested in what you used on it.

Talk to Lambone, he just got back. And Bone-dog, what do you think of ratings comparison between NW and Valley area? Ratings are a bunch of horseshit anyway, but ratings down there can't be any harder than Index.

Will, check your personal messages if you haven't already.

I'm sure that was them. I wasn't there so I only got the story second hand. But I think I remember Dan saying they didn't finish cause they didn't have the right size heads. I didn't know Jason Lakey, the belayer, had a broken nose. I know he was pissed he dropped his doob though.

Probably some hard ass nail up with the Bird. So he could be in the middle of some 8+ hour A5 pitch in 100 degree heat and send the rope down for more cigarettes. Or maybe 'Conan the Librarian' with Paul Pritchard. I just like the name of the route.

Hopefully I'll be able to partner up with my boy, Deathwish Dan, from Missoula, for a wall. He can lead the A3-4 sketchfest pitches and I'll do the hard free climbing bit. I've heard the routes on Half Dome are good: short (relatively), steep, and hard.

I knew you all were a bunch of bitches, talk a bunch of shit, but won't throw down to climb!

Fuck that!
