The Blob. Or some escaped nanotech. Either way, if you touched it, you are probably infected. There is no cure. Please report to your nearest Neighbourhood Euthanasia Centre at once.

If someone is chronically posting in the partners wanted board it's usually a sign that they are scary and or/sketchy and can't form a long-term climbing relationship. Likewise people who continually respond to posts of ppl looking for partners.

My rest days are your worst hangovers.

Now you really are Cheamclimber!

PIE is what's for breakfast. Cake is more of a snack.

I'd like to complain to WA State Parks that the stickman is being unsafe by not wearing a helmet...

i thought it matched the "faking injury" thread quite well

I was climbing once with a certain person who has done quite a bit of route development in Skaha and Squamish. I just happened to mention the words "Fred Beckey" in some context and he replied with "Did you know I have climbed many more first ascents than Fred Beckey has?".

http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2009-03/24/reports-of-my-death.aspx (…) “In two investigations between 2007 and 2009, I encountered countless examples of fake deaths in all corners of the online world. A contributor to a knitting forum, for instance, faked her death rather than provide patterns she had been commissioned to design. A member of an online art gallery discovered that the 18-year-old, gay, male, lead-singer of a rock band, with whom she had developed a close friendship before he was killed in a car crash, was actually the work of two 14-year-old girls, who had entirely invented his life. A teenage British boy broke up with his real-life girlfriend to marry a 16-year-old online friend, later discovering (on her “death”) that his deceased wife-to-be was a 12-year-old fantasist who had been sending photos of her older cousin and inventing graphic details of incest and rape. “A LiveJournal community, known as fake_lj_deaths, has more than 6,000 members committed to investigating suspicious “deaths” reported on the social networking site. The sleuths are motivated by a desire to spare credulous readers the all-too-real grief and bereavement over the imaginary passing of a sometimes-imaginary friend. “I would venture only one in ten deaths that we are asked about turns out not to be fake,” said Anne Soffee, the moderator of fake_lj_deaths, the community that has investigated, and exposed, hundreds of such frauds. (((That’s really pretty good, eh? You have to wonder which of the major social-media sites is the fake-deadest. I’d have guessed LiveJournal, but you never know without some crisp, firm evidence provided by formerly employed print journalists.))) “The motivations of the fakers are almost as opaque as the fictions themselves, but one clue may lie in the power granted by online communities to quantify the sympathy for an illness or the shock of a death via comments boxes or replies to a journal thread. During a lengthy battle against terminal illness, blog writers can attract support from thousands of friends who follow them through treatments, and who cry real tears when they die. In more than one example, bereaved online friends have created tribute websites where they have posted poetry and photographs in memorial books that stretch to hundreds of pages. It feeds the desire of the narcissist and provides the lonely with the attention that they may never previously have known. “I have never felt more loved and cared for in my entire life,” wrote one faker, named “Sara” in an astonishing confession of a life filled with online deaths. “I suddenly craved for everyone’s attention, love, care, concern and affection … People posted messages about how they were very concerned, they were keeping “Sara” in their thoughts and prayers, and so many things. It became more interesting to me. It became very appealing to me. I decided to play with it more. I do not know how or why, I just did.” Any investigation into fake online deaths soon encounters the name “limeybean”, the online moniker of one of the most notorious and far-reaching fakes, which originated in the UK in late 2005. Limeybean was the 18-year-old daughter of immigrants to London, with a family history of tuberculosis. She was a popular and prominent contributor to a Harry Potter fan community, and a prodigious writer of journals, on which she announced one day that she too had been diagnosed with the same rare strand of untreatable TB that had killed her father and twin brother. As limeybean struggled gamely with her illness, she garnered a huge following of admiring, concerned readers, who offered their support via email and in comments on her blog, sometimes even talking to her in conversations punctuated by coughs and wheezes. When limeybean eventually succumbed to her illness, news relayed on a confidante’s MySpace page, there was an unprecedented outpouring of grief from numerous other friends who had drawn strength and inspiration from her battle. One of their number, however, was not so credulous…

last i heard bridge is still out at Lava Creek canyon and no-one is doing the traverse as a result

Speaking of Biblical verses some church sign near the train station the other day had "Hebrews 5:13" on it and it made me immediately think of Israeli sport climbers.

All accounts must be considered in light of the observer.

i read some unsubstantiated slander once about sport climbers-turned-boulderers who have said "Take" while highballing. say what you will about the pad people but it's undeniably harder to dog a boulder problem.

Ya my friend Vida shot those with a still camera from near the lake.

There was a famous Russian fatality on Khan Tengri, I think, in the 70s where the lead climber knocked off a huge dinner-plate directly at his belayer and yelled "Ice". Belayer looked up, took it in the face, killed instantly. It's in Shataev's book.

My helmet is purple and has a Ride Me logo

"WAAAAAAAATCH MEEEEEEEEEEE!" "watching's not gonna help much cowboy!"
