The ER nurses at St. Vincent hospital gave me this cute booty to keep my toes warm. It makes me warm inside and out. I'm giving my Quarks to Layton for the rest of the season. It makes me warm inside and out. Butchy and I are heading to Grandma's/Grandpa's for a week. It makes me warm inside and out. Merry Christmas cc'ers

Looking for an ice climbing partner for Saturday thru Tuesday. Lillooet Pemberton area. Stuff is gonna be in. I'm traveling from Ptown Friday afternoon. Pete

Congratuations to the Univ of Portland woman's soccer team, winning the NCAA Div I championship, beating UCLA 4-0. UCLA had out scored their tournament opponents 21-0 prior to the final game with Portland. In the tournament Portland beat the big fat cat teams Notre Dame (ranked #5 and last years champ) Penn St. (ranked #1) UCLA (ranked #4) Portland has a shitty pro b-ball team and no pro football, but the woman kick ass.

We got a game boys. There are 6-7 fer-sures and the usual bystanders waiting to see if something is going to happen. Look for me or Layton or for the plab football sign. If it's just too shitty out for some of you to play outside meet us at the pub afterward. How about the A&L. I want to see USC go down.

Stuff from me Enjoy! Scenic Whitney Approach Ice Climbing in the Wallows Climbing Hood Reid HW Humor Bugs Hut

It's football season so as the saying goes, when in Greece greek something. ie: this is about playing football sicko. Once agian the weather forecast is for 150% chance of rain this weekend, messing about in the mountains is left for the hardmen. I'm talking flag football, not full on tackle. This is in respect for all you climbing athletes who what to do some thrashing about but avoid injuries. I'll bring the ball and flags. I have no idea if anyone is interested in this, so all those who are spray the hell out of this tread. That way we will know if it's gonna happen. When: Saturday 12/3 Noon Where: Grant Park On 33rd Ave just north of I84 ***Moderators, please move this over to the Events Forum, for whatever reason I could not post there. Thanks***

BillA and I were going to look for ice on I-Rock, but Nolse emailed me Friday night saying that everything had melted off. So as a consolation we headed to Beacon Saturday morning, knowing that it would be cold and windy, but we were seeking challeging conditions. I learned real quick how difficult it is to grip holds with frozen hands while a 40mph wind gust tries to rip you off the rock. We did one pitch and bailed for the bar. The wind was even bad on Beacon's west side. It was blowing horizontally across the rock there. Who's got the fixed line hanging off of Blood, Sweat and Smears or Flying Circus (right above the 3rd tunnel)?

Cool. What time of day...Is this a breakfast lunch or dinner afair???

Sometimes it's the other way around. This past weekend I met Goatboy and his wife in L-worth. They came down to L-worth to escape the rain in Squish.

How could anyone think that of r? Maybe you are an asshole? Nice job to chopping out pieces of my comment to change the meaning. You should work at a tabloid paper and capitalize on your skills.

I'd agree with the analysis of alex. There are many of us willing to take a crack at Willis, but due to it's reputation, none of us have the resourses or balls to take action on our desires. It comes down to being dialed into the 'NOW' conditions. Most of us are clicking away on our computer, guaging conditions and weather patterns like an arm chair quarterback. It's the best we can do in our suckass M-F jobs. One other point The recent surge in climbing is dominated by fair weather rock jocks who have no interest (thank god) in Willis Wall adventures. Beckey-Chouinard gets done weekly, but stuff like Willis remains untouched. Yes!

EL, Beacon memories to be forgotten.

I saw the "You're all gonna die" guy on Stuey a couple of weeks ago. While belaying far to the left of the gendarme I saw a solo climbing coming up the ridge. He hollered over to me "You're all gonna die". I thought to myself, what an asshole. I got a closer look at him on the summit. He is definately not Aiden.

Here are the chilling facts Time: Sunday 11am Place: Jantzen Beach Starbucks Person to meet: Pete P. Item: Thule Cascade XT 1100 cargo box Situation: Over the past week I traded numerous emails with a person (Pete P.) who is selling an auto cargo box (Thule model Cascade XT 1100). We agreed to meet at the Jantzen Beach Starbucks at 11am on Sunday. While waiting in the Starbuck's parking lot I spot a white Blazer with a Thule cargo box on it’s roof parking right in front of Starbuck's at 11:05am. A middle aged male is in the Blazer by himself. Cool, the guy is here on time. As I approach the Blazer I recognize that the Thule cargo box is indeed a Cascade XT 1100, confirming that this is the person with the cargo box for sale. I say to the driver (his window is down) 'Hi Pete, this is Pete (my name is also Pete), I'm the person interested in purchasing the cargo box. With a puzzled look the guy says, 'I don't know what you're talking about, I'm not selling my cargo box'. I explained the reason I approached him. He just shook his head and said 'sorry, you got the wrong guy, I'm here to pick up my daughter.' I walk away unconvinced, thinking that this schmuck probably got a better offer for the cargo box from someone else, didn’t have the courtesy to email me and is now blowing me off. I decide to keep an eye on him. I got back into my truck to watch and wait. A minute later a teenaged girl walks out of Borders Books, jumps into the Blazer passenger seat and they drive off. I wait in the parking lot another 10 minutes then drive around it looking for another Thule cargo box on a vehicle, but never see one. I'm still not sure of what to make of this.

Sorry to rain on your party chrismv whoever you are. You and your rack sale might be totally legit, but it sure sounds fishy to me. To all prospective buyers. Make sure this stuff is not hot. - First time poster - Nothing else is for sale - If you are getting out climbing, what about all the other stuff? Shoes, harness, biners, belay devices, etc. - Have you ever heard of a climber replacing everything on their rack in one fail swoop? Hell no.

I'd like to know if this place is simply going to play the consumer market like every other business. PGR charges unreasonably high rates, yet the place is packed. Although they offer a different climbing experience, will the Circuit 'ride the market coat-tails' that PGR has established and charge a similar rate? Why the fuck does it cost 60 bucks a month to climb in a gym?

I've read the fishers eat martens. Or is it the other way around?

As Oleg and I are nearing Ingalls lake I faintly here my name being called from a womans voice. My first thought is I'm day dreaming, woman are haunting me even as I climb. Then the voice calls again and I see a beautiful blonde sunbathing on a rock near the lake. My thoughts run wild, who can this be. My fantasies are crushed as I approach the beauty and recognize that it is Winter's wife Kristin. Hi Kristin, good to see you. What have you been up to? Chris is climbing Ingalls with Jessica, that's cool. Can I get back to my fantasy now.

Timmy, Check out This Web Site and you'll sandwiched between hottie runners like these

What the @#$% is up with all the traffic in Washington state? The last two weekends I've been forturate to leave the confines of Portandia and climb in the Cascades. Last weekend Index, this weekend Stuart. On both occasions I found myself driving west bound heading home late afternoon/early evening on Sundays. Hwy 2 from Index and I90 from the Teanaway Rd. And on both occasions I found myself STUCK IN TRAFFIC JAMS 40-70 miles from I5. Yesterday between Roslyn and Snoqualmie Pass the traffic alternated between a 1st gear crawl to 80mph sprints. Last week we inched along from Gold Bar to Sultan. Is the traffic always like that on Sunday and I've just been lucky to miss it all these years???

I had an awesome time. Ty was a great coach, treating me with soft gloves (no screaming, you dumb ass!) cause I knew nothing about the aid world going into this. Hanging with Ty is always a blast. Although I'll I did on day two was jug, jug, jug, and jug some more, I learned a bunch of stuff. Like: - How to piss off of a hanging belay while managing two ropes and not getting a drop on any gear. - The beauty of the GriGri. Allows you to f around at the belay while the leader puts up a pitch. - Carry a hammer or some other heavy object. There are lots of bugs to smash on walls.....and for pounding out stuck nuts. - Index is a laid back cool place.

If you had the gear down here I could set you up.
