    Stupidest thing I've said or done climbing?

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    The illiterate remark has nothing to do with your spelling. Though it could, but I don't care how you spell.

    It was because the thread is about stupid mistakes.. and you come in expecting "safe" stories.

     

    "reading you retalitory post only proves all my statements correct"

    This makes no sense... it proves nothing except that you want to take a jab at me and look like a good guy for it.

     

    Whatever

    thanks for letting me know that you are not intrested in making your climbing safe

    Dear Illiterate Climber,

    The top of the thread reads, "Stupidest thing I've said or done climbing?".

     

    I would not have contributed if it asked for the smartest thing I have done.

    I realize this was a "Stupid" mistake. Thank you so much for showing me how much smarter I could have been that day. I'm sure that nothing stupid has ever happened with you around to stop it.

     

    The "kiss it" the first time was meant jokingly...

    i mean it this time... [Moon]

    Hate to admit this stuff...

     

    Bad day at Vantage. Rapping off of some mesa or something, I roll off the lip and get my hand flat smashed under the chains. Don't want to call for help but one hand is trapped under said chain and the other is holding the rap device... can't let go.

    After extricating myself quietly and painfully (yank!!)I'm not paying attention on the rap cause I'm wondering if my hand is broken.... then my shirt gets caught in the ATC. I thought that only happened in the Mounties textbooks. Try getting out of that with one hand!

     

    Just felt really stupid that whole day. [Roll Eyes]

    I just let the grass grow so long that the 80+ year-old lady next door (who keeps her yard immaculate) comes over to ask if she can mow it for me.

     

    Apparently, my famed crop of dandelion seeds were disrupting her landscaping.

    Bad experiences on the yard sale?

    in The Yard Sale

    Posted

    I've never had a bad experience with the yard sale, including buying stuff from you, TG. And although I've had a couple of idiots screw up deals on e-bay, I''ve never lost any money on online deals.

     

    But I would expect more from fellow climbers, I'd be way pissed if someone stiffed me on gear sold on this site.

    Anybody know?

    ...of a good knee doc?

     

    A question I never wanted to ask, but now it's time.

    I have no idea where to start and have no good recommendations from family.

    Prefer to find someone that will approach from a PT standpoint and avoid surgery if at all possible.

     

    Thanks.

    I think if I ever need a rescue, I'm going to pretend to be a runaway Alzheimers patient.

    If we all did that there would be no controversy about climbers paying for rescues!

     

    Seriously..... glad you guys are down safe.

    What makes an “experienced” climber?

    That's interesting.. Sometimes my past experiences or near misses make me hella nervous about doing things that I would have blindly enjoyed before.

     

    Am I smarter for it... or just missing out? Probably both.

    Maybe I'm just getting old.

    Ptarmigan Traverse and Dome Peak??

    in North Cascades

    None of the glaciers on the route are too serious, though you will have some routefinding through small crevasses. When I went with a team of two we chose to bring a light rope with a single picket each and prussiks.

    Ditto on what Lowell said about the peaks with the addition that we were glad to have a rope on Formidable as route finding was somewhat tricky and we were definitely in low-mid 5th class. We also rapped off as it appeared that many had before us.

    Spire and Dome were defintely the highlights as far as peaks were concerned (didn't have enough time for Gunsight), with Spider being the only one that I would skip or attempt from the north next time.

    yeah... should be a decent-sized deal for us gapers. Many of the comps won't have much for spectators like the adventure race or the kayaking. But I think that they have got good spectator areas for the climbing and some of the other stuff like kiteboarding. And a lot of stuff for the kids to do.

     

    Check out the site, ket me know if your going to show up.
