PS k-fed the Midgard Serpent is on the West Face not the North Face
Now on to random partner stories:
I went climbing with this one guy named Don years ago mostly because he had a truck. But his truck was a POS. We drove to Squamish with a couple holes in the muffler. Then we went climbing for the first and last time. We got to the Bluffs and Don decided he would lead "Penny Lane". Don was one of those guys who decides they will save weight by racking three cams on one biner. Well Don was the type of guy who would try and fail to place the two wrong-sized cams before placing the correct one. Then he had to hang. On the next cam placement he repeated the wrong-sized fumbling and on this one when he got the actual cam in, he was so excited that he just climbed on and left this cam in the crack, with the other two cams still clipped to it on the biner, hanging down, and without clipping the rope in. I was kind of in awe of this because I had never seen anyone sketch so badly before, I was still going "Um...Don... ah.. your cam" by the time he made it to the next ledge 30 feet up.
So then while he's belaying me up he confesses "Yeah, I didn't take my pills today."
Me: "Oh really, what pills are those Don?"
Don: "Oh, the little pills that help me remember things."
I was actually glad because by this time I was thinking he was going to say antipsychotics!
Then on the way back from Squamish his muffler completely fell off on the Furry Creek hill and got dragged behind the truck. That was pretty loud!
Oh yeah,
