How does WEDNESDAY, July 21, 3:30-4ish, Exit 38 sound? input?

You forget, apparently I don't climb, I wouldn't want to sully that image! Oops... I meant... IG climbed, she just did most of the picture taking as well (being that it was her camera) Maybe next week..

That's a nice picture of Scotty harpell you got there merv...

welcome to 32 muffy! . HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

yeah, no foolin' !! cheers! I hope I'm still even half that active when I'm 81....

nope. we saw a bunch of other cc.commies up there, but they were all up there with their climber betties to look macho in front of...

unless you're Beth Rodden, Pandhanna, or Kim Csismazia, all our legs/butts look fat from behind. Remember what we were telling you about long pants??? It's the real reason

Hold it beth... we gotta roll those shorts up just a little higher... She doesn't hold a candle to our very own pandhanna

hahahhaha... IF you had not gathered from the picture, it was not way hot, it was WAY COLD!!!!!!!!!!! I climbed a pitch or two in my belay jacket that day!

hah hah... yeah, here's the one you were all waiting to see of me... with yer ass kissing and smoke blowin', I guess I'll just have to post it... ice ice baby Posing with MY ice tool...

A great time was had by all! ________ included Pictures are linked. Many thanks all you fine young women who showed up to make this a success! The rest of you... Well, you have next week to redeem yourselves?!?! Sorry about the sheer volume of pictures, but they were wanted as proof, and I'm not gonna sift through them all... Some awesome shots of our uber dynamo pandhanna... on what, her 10th day ever climbing??!??! Wooohooo Pandhanna rocks! Snobyrd77 give a thumbs up on her first day of climbing in our beautiful northwest (shh... if we don't scare her off, we might have her, hook line and sinker) Dryad, it was a pleasure, we will plan and scheme, and come up with some great things for the summer!! Thanks again, all! and a huge Kudo's to our token ropegun for his patience (apparently the earplugs worked) Prana tops!

That's what I'm sayin'... If you guys think she's a dog... well then what hope is there for the rest of us

And we will be at the park n ride off of EXIT 17 (corner of newport Way and SR 900), at 3pm... Wooohooo!

deciding how many ropes to bring... PM me if yer going (and have not already)

hahahaha... Yeah, what's wrong with her face? I thought she was like the Ideal? Blond, tan, blue eyes, perfect teeth? If there is a problem with her, crikey, where do the rest of us stand

More than one, that's why I asked for people to PM me... But that might have been in one of the deleted threads

What trailhead... Silly me... We will be at "Write Off Rock" and "We Did Rock" in the Deception Crags area... http://www.northbendrock.com/Deception/index.htm

hahahah... nice one!

Thanks, all, for your vote of confidence. In addition to me, there will be a very experienced climber (with whom several of you have climbed) in attendance, if your wife, sister, or daughter is thinking of coming and you want to know who it is, PM me. Laugh at me all you want, Greg, I can take it. OH, wait, didnt you and i have some conversation... ah, nevermind... Where did I say I'm giving a climbing class? Nowhere. Whre did I say I'm refreshing anyone's skills? I do consider myself qualified to check someones knot and make sure their harness is doubled back. And, 3 climbing gyms in seattle seem to agree. Wanna see my belay and lead cards? I'm happy to scan them in for you RuMR and Assparrot. BUT, what good would that be? Hell, they'll pass anyone these days

There is nothing wrong with a being a solid trustworthy belayer. Speaking from experience and having belayed at least two people on _really_ hard stuff (if 5.13d + not in the gym counts anymore), really good belayers apparently are not a dime a dozen. (but, hell, if they'd let me belay for them, it's up for debate.... ) A good belay is an art in itself. Most people can belay. not eveyone can do it well. Of course every one _thinks_ they can. It's all about timing, anticipation, and reading the route. (of course this is just my .02, many may disagree)

how "long" are you looking for?

hahah.. since someone brought up the doggy picture already... I have a boy dog (a real boy dog, still got his parts) cause he's a show dog (and gotta have a parts to show AKC) He was sniffing at girl dogs one day, and I was lamenting to my vet... "argh, he's sniffing her, and she's on doggy birth control so I KNOW she's not coming into heat... what gives?" Vet says... "wishful thinking is the trademark of a boy dog" how true is that...

Wooohooo! Mikey's back! TR's TR's TR's!
