RURP

This is RURP. You guys are all groupies. You read about these people in magazines and now they are all your "friends". Did you hear the news? Timmy cut his finger and now he can't go climbing for a while! And Beth just climbed a crack that is really hard for girls! And Todd and Paul are quite the gang! I need no other heroes then myself striving to do my Big Wall best. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. What is this lame talk of sport-climbing in the Olympics. If this is so, I will protest that there must be a Big Wall category for real climbers. Who would want to watch a crowd of sport climbers when they can see some real drama? Especially if they make it during the winter olympics. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. I have an even more beautiful and inspiring quote. "I climb Big Walls because they allow me to achieve my own personal sense of excellence; they allow me to avoid superficial and unsatisfying relationships with those who dwell in the horizontal planet. Big Walls are a world where concentration, determination and ambition rule and where the only terrorists are unintentional gapers who drop gear or poo-bags." Do you know who said that? It was me, RURP, and I said it right now so you didn't have to pay $15 to scavenge it from a Jack Short novella. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP:Dru says: "Hey RURP. Is the "Cirque" that Flatus Flour Tower is in the same one where Poop mistook his sleeping bag for the poop tube??? Cirque of the Unwipeables?" RURP says: I do not know what you are talking about, so if it is funny, I hope you are laughing. Equally incomprehensible: "RURP Bigwalling = Sexual Chocolate moondancing?" I will give you a tentative answer of "no" because you sound ridiculous. Maybe if you spent more time working on your Big Wall excellence instead of writing about "poop-tubes" and "moondancing", you'd achieve your goals in life.RURP has spoken.

This is RURP: You write as if we are all supposed to know about who this "Tommy" is and his unfortunate accident. Why don't you worry about your own Big Wall performance? And as far as this "Beth" is concerned, it looks like another example where the standards for women are perceived to be so low that it is a big deal when a woman is able to climb something hard. Maybe if you want to be a professional climber with sponsors you can pretend you are a woman and then keep climbing at your same miserable degree of averageness. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP: Stewbone! What the heck are you talking about? Such vehemence! It is sounding scary now. I am out of here. You guys can inconclusively discuss your religion amongst yourself now. Have a good time. I'll go look at the Big Wall topics. "Thanks", Mastic Natcho. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP: I ask you where the fun in this topic is, Mr. nolanr? I am yawning now. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. A "Big Wall" can be defined in several different ways: a) a large intimidating expanse of rock requiring Big Wall skills. b) the lifestyle of RURP. c) abstractions related thereto, for example, "isn't there just a little Big Wall in all of us?" Lotus Tower is in the Cirque. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. There are too many stupid topics around now so how about an important one: what is your favorite Big Wall? Tell me why it is so good and what the good part of the climb was but I don't want to hear about what a Big Wall Master you think you are. I would tell you all about the many Big Walls in my life, but I am too modest so let's hear from other people. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. WHERE ARE THE MODERATORS? You eliminate relevant mountaineering topics such as "Rock Cop" and others yet you allow this pointless "discussion" to continue!! (We don't care why you don't like God. The unbelievers nod their heads with you and the believers remain unconvinced.) What is next? Here is a good one: What is the favorite kind of cookie your mother used to make you when you are a child? Oatmeal? Chocolate Chip? Do you want to hear that? Or what perhaps is your favorite topping on nachos? See what you started Mr. Mystic Nacho guy! How about what is your favorite Big Wall? Now that is something everyone wants to hear about! RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. Oh my! Aren't we all so impressive! "I went here, and I did this, and look at me." Yes, there is a lot neediness among some of the people in this crowd. Boo hoo - my girlfriend went away and I have now I have warts! Everybody has a great story to tell but who is finding this interesting? I do not, except for the story from Wallstein where he talked about his manly December trip on "The Capitan". Where was RURP last year at this time? Who cares. But for those who do, it had something to do with a BIG WALL.RURP has spoken. [ 12-19-2001: Message edited by: RURP ]

This is RURP: Mr. Dru: you are wrong again. Go read again what I wrote above although I feel that my advice is useful, but will be wasted on you. Do see someone about those 'roids and perhaps a trip to Upper Index or Grand Chief with a big haul bag, a single portaledge and a personal contemplation journal will do you good. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. Who is in charge of this place? There are twenty pages of marijuana smoking on Mt. Rainier comments, and some people seem to have a great time making fun of that guy named Dan Larson, but what happened to the discussion about "Rock Cop"? Maybe the Rock Cops themselves removed it. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP: You Mr. Dru: Go sit down with pope and Schlangelieber and the others with poor Big Wall manners. Such a load of nonsense from someone who doesn't know me but thinks he does! I think you should check your own backside for "roids" which you probably did not achieve either on the soaring faces of the Dru itself nor from days in a hanging belay on a challenging overhanging climb. No, you probably earned those roids sitting down at your desk, making up stories about other people because you are envious of their outdoor activities and want attention. Now that you realize this, stand up and get away from those two other guys, dust off your etriers, and head for the big stone. The exercise will probably improve those roids of yours and you will have a much better attitude about yourself and other climbers. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. My name is the coolest. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP.Regarding "DONT take vegetarians to a BBQ house for dinner and dont take new age hippie chicks to see action movies." RURP has a suggestion: don't take such girls anywhere. In fact, it is recommended that you run and hide as fast as your Big Wall legs will take you, unless you like arrogance and or hairy female bodies or both plus an array of baggage that would make your Grade 7+ double gear wrack look like Christmas tree tinsel.Mr. Erik! You cannot be that desparate!RURP has spoken! [ 12-13-2001: Message edited by: RURP ]

This is RURP. I have some happy items for this so-called auction. A course in international relations and a $50 gift certificate to a Korean restaurant for Mr. Lamebone. Additionally, an English/German dictionary for Schlangenheimer. Yes, if you bid on these items you will be providing useful educational material and experiences for two intellectually needy young men. Also, perhaps a few weeks in a RURP's Big Wall Boot Camp would do them some good. Hauling heavy bags for many days will give them time to think about their many problems. This is more important than the disadVantaged bolt hangers I have to offer for this BIG auction. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. Happy Big Wall Hannukah from RURP. RURP has spoken. P.S. If you're lighting your menorah while on a Big Wall, be careful not to drip wax on other parties below, especially on the eighth night.

This is RURP. Retrosaurus: you call me a fool. That is not very original; it is what I just called pope. You say I "lose"????? What have I lost? I am looking around here and I see nothing missing. I take my self too seriously? You are ignorant. I have no sense of humor? Then why are other people enjoying my Big Wall commentary? "Go home and choose another game"? I am home at the moment unless you mean "go home foreigner" at which point you will have to fight with Lamebone to fill out my deportation papers. "Another game"? Do you mean this silly web-site or Big Walls? Why would I take orders from some anonymous man on the internet. In summary, your rude little posting is full of baffling questions and holes. I see a way to improve your own life: a well-balanced Big Wall education. RURP has spoken, and yes, pope IS A FOOL.

This is RURP. I am not Caveman and Caveman is not RURP. The slang language and coarse expressions frequently used by Mr. Caveman are not in my Big Wall vocabulary. RURP has spoken.

This is Rurp. Pope: you are a big fool. You are creating stories. I don't know you or the Sausage-want-to-be but you have contributed nothing with your last comments except to act again, like a big fool. Neither of you have enough personal character to be my "big wall buddy". So you are dismissed to join those other braying donkeys who add nothing to this site but ugly "vibes" and trashy talk. RURP has spoken and I have not been to the Kichatnas.

This is RURP. Schlangenspieler: Once again you show your ignorance of the German language. Many people in German-speaking countries learn to speak English quite young and quite well; much better than your weak attempts to ridicule foreigners. I think maybe you get your German from the Hogan Heroes. You have nothing to say so you make fun of parents and create little sausage jokes. You are incorrect: I am Rurp because I love Big Walls. Charlie: where is your Big Wall sense of humor? I am trying to help you deal with the senseless loss of bolt hangers. What do you do when you are climbing a Wall, a really Big one, and you come to the place where the Rauber has taken the hanger? You should laugh laut enough for your partner to hear and then apply a wired stopper over the bolt or maybe a favorite hook. Then you think, "thank you dubious rock thief for adding to my exciting Big Wall challenge" and then you go on. Just like that. And Schlangemann: So you think I am limited to four Big Walls? This is true, and then I eat lunch. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. There you go, Schlangenschlurper, with your phony German talking again. I have think I have something for this so-called auction. How about approximately 15 bolt hangers with a slight desert patina found in a gas station restroom wastebasket in Eastern Washington. Perhaps they would make a nice addition to someone's Museum of Dubious Big Wall Activities collection. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP: That Lambone says: "rurp...What would you say to me If I was screaming at you at 5:00 in the morning?" RURP would say, "Thank you very much Mister Noisy Guy. It's another Big Wall day and my alarm clock must have not gone off an hour ago. Otherwise I would be two pitches above you right now. And by the way, I would share my tasty Big Wall breakfast with you but you might be allergic to kim chee and spaetlze." That is what I would say. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. Funny thing: they made the Rock Cop topic disappear after a few hours and a handful of messages and this Camp Muir marijuana thing goes on for 18 pages! Who is making the Big Wall decisions around here? RURP HAS SPOKEN
