I thought he just saw Courtney Love.

Get her some chocolate... quick! Meanwhile, off to swing some(one else's) tools tomorrow!

Looking for cheap ice tools... went to second ascent (generally good shop) and found that their used tools cost more than brand new tools from barrabes. What gives? Advice on getting cheap tools?

Certainly of a different flavor than a twight epic, but still a pretty bad-ass climb. Shit, how many of us could pull 50% of those moves? Why not just use bouldering as an excuse to go to Switzerland?

What a sweet shagging car!

Shit, that looks like a scene from "King of the Hill"

Note the excellent (strength):(body weight) ratio. Must be a sport climber.

Sounds like you guys should vote "Yes".

Please take 30 seconds to vote on-line against snowmos in Yellowstone. It's a Helena Independent Record poll and they will do an editorial on the results. While public comment periods have resulted in overwhelming support (80%+) for banning snow machines, the local poll is currently at 65% in favor of them. Please log onto http://www.helenair.com/ then scroll down to vote on the right side to the poll. Then please pass this email onto any others who care about preserving the grandeur, beauty, and solitude of our first national park. [ 11-22-2002, 10:22 AM: Message edited by: glen ]

"SantaCruzian"... do you commute 17 to San Hoser everyday? Now there is a bunch of lame fucks. If you noticed the Seattle trend, you probably noticed it down there too. The only difference is that we substitute fleece for a suntan and skin cancer. Avoid the mainstream, there are cool people everywhere if you know where to look. Even in santa cruz!

Sounds kinda euro-styled with the extra 'e' on Tooth. Is pink spandex required?

If you look at it on it's side, it kind of looks like someone either; a) flailing during a fast descent of the 'obvious descent gully -or- lying on ground writhing in agony. Cool. As for the amount of trashing on this site, it just seems like a fair amount of the junior high mentality lives on in all of us. Different things bring it out in each person. We all survived junior high, so we'll all probably survive CC.com. Unless you end up roping up with the wrong person and end up doing either a or b (see above).

So, what're the best spray logos you guys can come up with?

Age 4: Instrument: bad-ass hotwheels trike. Rolling down the driveway with the plastic wheels, I spun out, landed flat on my back and scraped most of the skin off. One of my earliest memories! Age 20: Snowboard icy day at Squaw Valley. first time ever on a snowboard. the ice was about a foot thick and actually transparent down to the ground surface in places. nasty, nasty conditions. Second run of my life, my buddy says to go to a harder slope. A glutton for punishment, I agree. I start to traverse a slope, go down hands first and hear a popping sound. it hurts like hell. I keep boarding all day. 10 days later when the big bruise in the palm of my hand hadn't gone away and it still really hurt to put on surgical gloves in the lab, I go to the doctor for x-rays. Compound fracture. right ring finger is now 1/8" shorter than the other. age 4 (again): getting out of shower stall, slip on soap and plant chin squarely on the metal threshold for the shower door. 1" scar. Age 27: 2.5 hour oral exam from world experts. No scars, just trauma. damn, now I want a

Lambone, get back to your homework!

Hey! we have lot's of interests, like: sport climbing trad climbing aid climbing ice climbing shortening approaches obvious descent gullies carabiner design (which is the best for opening a beer, by the way?) and the list just goes on and on and on and on and on....

Heck, sounds like a pretty normal freshman year. At least they were staying in their rooms. My freshman year, we had a problem with couples "occupying" the lounges, *and* being loud about it. Made you wonder about some of the couches in there.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Folks, we have a winner! The photo is taken on the summit of Lassen looking north at Shasta. The black rocks are eruptive products 1914-1915. I would have waited at least a couple of days to climb as they were still hot enough to scald for a few days after the eruption (plus a few plinian eruptions that would, well hurt).

Nope and Nope. You are in the right mountain range though. BW Dave is remarkably perceptive. [ 10-03-2002, 02:31 PM: Message edited by: glen ]

Hint: there are two peaks in this image. Bonus points if you know how long it has been physically possible to boulder on the rocks in the foreground.

WAIT a second... A strange piece of info has come forth.... Trask has TWO kids?!?! This is very strange in the context of his average post... Geee... I hope he wasn't being sarcastic...

How about a bumper sticker that says "Fukensmooten!" Stickfigure sitting on rock looking at book with a big ?? over head. G

Comment: Go Chris. There are a lot of good climbers out there. The reason I respect Sharma is that he has managed to remain a cool guy despite influences that would expand most people's egos out of control. Even after Chris became well known and sponsored, he stil climbed with his high school buddies and maintained (at least by his actions) a focus on climbing and enjoying it over chasing down numbers. How many of his sicko boulder problems has *he* actually graded? None that I've heard of. The approach is more important than the medium. Although, it would be interesting to see what he could do with a set of tools.

Yep, and now it's up. durn corrupted files.
