Necronomicon

Did anyone tape the show? I missed it.

This one time we took all of this acid and the kid got stuck between the railroad ties on the old abandonend rail rod trestle and was bashing his face against the ties and i tried to escape out the tiolet but ended up in restraints after i asked a cop if i could fuck her in the ass after they pulled me out from uner the bed after the kentucky hillbilly family told me they were gonna kill me after Ozzy sung me Mr. Crowley before I got locked in the insane asylum before i pissed my pants after they put the cuffs on me after the cuffs cut my hands off and I pissed myself before the Dean of Students came to the hospital after she saw the stolen painting on the wall before i got susspended and spent a year working at a lumber yard. True story!

Even yourself?

He was actually OK in Drug Store Cowboy, and River's Edge.

Not funny. This guy was WAY off the deep end.

I just got done reading the Prosecutor's Summary of Evidence against the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgeway. Holy cow, what a beast. Totally remorseless.

He's Coach Z, dumbass.

I see you, I kill you.

Gary Ridgeway's confession.

When I was in college, I knew this kid who went in on a whore with three of his buddies. The last guy used dish soap for lube. I always wondered if there was an Easter Bunny, but the whore, and the four guys, and the dish soap, pretty much answered the question for me. I still cry myself to sleep.

My name is Drew Brayshaw, and I have an eating disorder.

My greatest accomplishment will be my upcoming all-angles aid solo of every finger crack in Squamish. It's my dream, and you'll have to learn to live with it.

I am perfectly comfortable nailing the second pitch of exasperator. The pins are necessary for me to ascend. The topo I have says I'll need pins for the second pitch. I need to get to the top. Seeing as I haven't aid climbed in a while, I'll be sticking my neck out. Dick-not-large-o tells me I can, because it's OK with me, fuck the rest of the COMMUNITY. FUCK YOU!! That's what I'm reading here. Granted, I cut out a lot of his apologistic ramblings, but I feel that this is the rotten meat of his attitude.

This is the vehemance I was missing! Good start, but more personal attack next time.

This conversation is no longer vehement enough. We need to all step back a bit, focus our rage, and dive back in. Dickardo's mentality would make it OK for me to nail Exasperator if I felt like it. Sure, he did a VI solo, for his first big wall, but IMHO, he didn't do it in the best style. Anyone with a hammer can bash their way up anything, given enough time. What about the challange of bettering the style? What about the purity of a clean ascent? What about the satisfaction of working past a grim section clean, where others nailed? If the techniques didn't evolve, and people didn't REALLY PUSH to do the route as clean as possible, every route would become a bashed-out mess. Dick-not-hard-o's ascent wasn't about the climbing, it was about the climb. Now he's got a big trophy he can call "Zodiac". I'd rather bail.

This is anonymous? For who? If I want to be anonymous, I use my Dru avatar.

I'm sure Fatty on the right will be stepping up to the Highballs in no time.

ugh -- the worst part about your post is that it assumes that i was trying to accomplish the same thing that you and your partner were out to accomplish ... .. news flash.. thats not the way the world works .. you dont have to live up to other people's standards .. set your own -- be comfortable with them .. and go for them .. .. my standards were to 1 - survive 2 - do the route as clean as possible in that order .. .. your standard is not the one everyone else has to climb by .. -- ricardo You're a fucking cunt. How 'bout I beat the shit out of your favorite handcrack? Those are my standards. Are you comfortable with that? The goals, shithead, are as follows: 1) Leave the house 2) Get back to the house. 3) Do the route in BETTER style than the party before you. You're a piece of shit, and your attitude sucks. Any douchebag, with enough stupidity, can bash their way up anything. You're a loser in a sea of losers.

Thanks for your props, I'll be sure not to ask for a letter of recommendation.

But there's a caveat Necro...Zodiac depends on heaps of fixed gear to go clean, so depending on what shape it is in, it might require nailing. However, since we were the party directly in front of this guy, I KNOW what shape the route was in...it was fully capable of going clean at a C3F NTB rating. Even the C3 sections that didn't rely on fixed gear to go clean, sections that I cam hooked, offset aliened, two cam aliened, or hooked through, this guy was nailing. Also sounds like he was using gear the Hubers left in place while working on the Nipple after we passed...I distincly remember one inverted cam hook move as well as placing several pieces before the tit. He was clearly in over his head, then. His inexperience, combined with his ego, diminished the challenge of the route for those that follow.

I'm not sorry everyone is not as brilliant as me. Who would I have to make fun of? As for this tool, I didn't read his self-flattering drivel. If a climb goes clean, you climb it clean, or you don't climb it. Nailing a clean line is bullshit.

Anyone else notice that we are SLOWLY getting our ass kicked in Iraq these days? They just keep pickang away at us, and, if anything, are becoming more aggressive as their intelligence builds. A beautiful example of guerilla warfare. They all went to ground before we rolled in, and now they're picking away, picking away, picking away...

Aid climbing is aid.
