What's an OPEN election?

NW Corner is 5.9 Supposedly there's a 5.7 route on the north face but I haven't found it, and if I did it didn't look good to solo. All the other spires are easy.

You have the right to ask for a blood test in Washington.

Big deal. When someone solos every spire including NEWS then bring it up.

Maybe they got hit in the face with an ice tool then fell.

Problem was she (the salesperson) didn't even know they had any goats in stock when I asked. Then when I saw one behind the counter she was completely clueless about what the goat was for and totally copped attitude when I didn't want to buy the goat because it was the wrong size.

Just thought I'd bring this thread up again since I had a less than enjoyable experience at FF the other day. I have generally had good experiences with these folks. Not worth recounting the details, but the other day the salesperson there was not only rude but completely fucking clueless. Atleast the people at REI are friendly.

Just means February will be choice for mountain climbs in the Rockies. So Bob, how was Skaha this weekend?

supposed to get cold again in Banff in a few days though.

Its good to have a formula for these things.

Shit the Iraqi people probably just want some peace and stability and at this point they probably don't care all that much at whose hands that comes. You actually think that Iraq and the world is better off with Iraq under the control of Saddam than a fairly liberal government allied with the U.S.?

East Face of Lex is definitly my favorite route at WA Pass. That's supposed to be the bomb link-up: first few pitches of tooth and claw (11a friction)into standard East Face. BobbyPeru would know the status of the bolts on T&C.

Hmmmm .... Mike Layton was involuntarily "rescued" after bungling up the descent on Big4. I've had to "rescue" myself after an episode of voluntary intoxication turned awry. Who else has been "rescued?"

Cool. Point is those bolts are lame. The chimney is way secure. Freedom Rider is a bitchin route but I haven't yet done the last part of it from where it hooks up with Lib Crack. Bring at least two #4's and a #5 camalot-size for the offwidth.

Third pitch varation to Freedom Rider on Lib Bell: fourty feet of just bigger than fists with nice crux bulge. Best real offwidth I've climbed in the northwest. I've got some photos somewhere. Re: East Face of Lex - the tied off 2x4 is bomber and the retro bolts on the 5.9 squeeze should be chopped and probably will be this summer.

Just because you play with your cock'n'balls at belays does not make that metaphor anymore apt, Dru.

Someone please forward this job description to Trask. I hear he's unemployed. I'd apply, but goat fucking is not in the description.

Maybe he's actually a Muslim immigrant and he's trying to "blend in" in Kentucky.

He has an awfully small truck to be considered "badass."

Awesome. Let me know and I'll come by and cut that fucker up.

You have any trees I can cut up for firewood yet?

Harkin drives an old Chevy small block circa 1965, with vertical PVC pipes bolted into the bed to hold his skis: one pair for ballet, one pair for the bumps, one pair for ariels, and one pair for plain speed!!

Shit your mom's so stupid, she tripped on a cordless phone.
