Don't climb near Bellingham. More room for me

I've got a bong hidden in the smoke bluffs...

1)Don't take a Hot married woman climbing! 2)Don't take Fred Beckey ice climbing. 3)The trick with Tequilla and Goo is true!

Yu Gawda be kiddin'! I live in B-town and climb regularly... Just did the springboard yesterday at Mt. Erie. Go Climb more! Talk less! Props to : Aaron, Andy, Coley, Seth, Tim, and Andrew Wex @ AAI<<<<<<<<<<REAL F-ING MEN BUT.......what's up with the short Korean dude (Matt?) with the Napolean complex at the Leading edge? He should take sewing classes and quit climbing. Word up Ya'll

I hate gear slings! I like to rack everything on my harness. I've found that clipping the nut tool (on a B.D. neutrino with a keeper cord), extra lockers, cordalette on a locker, and my belay device to my chalk bag belt runner. This not only gets them off the harness and out of the way, but provides you with a spare emergency runner. I've learned that you can never count on being able to reach something that is jammed into a corner. This is why I put a selection of everything on each side. A set and a half of nuts, split in two on either side. Usually a double set of cams with a set on each side for easy selection. It is very important to look ahead at each pitch, and rack accordingly to what you need. If you don't need the #3 camelot on the next pitch, leave it with the belayer. Stick your partner with all the gear you don't need for the next pitch. Less weight is good! I quit taking quick draws on long routes because it is better to have more long runners. You can always double or triple them to make them Q.D. length. I put these on the two rear gear loops. I also put a few full length slings around my shoulder with two wire gate biners attatched for eazy access baby. The more you climb, the more you will develope your skills and preferences. Wear a helmet. Smoke a bowl when you are back at the car. Word up.

I was at a bar and some guy came up to the urinal next to me and said, "I bet mine is bigger." I said, "thicker or longer?" We both laughed. I don't think he was gay, just drunk.

Lower malamute Haiku: OH my sweet clean crackI will do battle with youon another day...

I rode by the icefalls Today. It is cold up there and the ice looked 'in'. Sorry I couldn't slow down to get a better look, but the powder was smacking me in the face... I've seen a number of ice falls that I was smacking my lips to... Word up

I just spent 2 sunny days in Sqamaish. Penny lane is dry, and so are a handful of others. I was so stoked to climb outside again. Why drive to Leavenworth? I hear that there is 5 pitch climbs in the sun on the backside of the Chief, but you have to hike. Talk to the friendly folks at 'Climb on' in downtown Squamish. Word up

spray spray spray...... Who are all you sprayers kidding? For 2 hour sessions after work, the nearby sandstone offers a break from indoor climbing. You all act so Hard core. I've been to the valley and done long routes, and to places like the devil's tower...blah blah blah I was only pointing out the fact that I was climbing outside, and enjoyed the feel of real rock under my toes. I don't care where else is better, I'm focused on the experience of real rock.....stoked Who are you telling that Ellensburg is better anyway? If you like truck stop food I guess.

1)Freshies on the Shuksan arm yesterday.........yum yum yum yum yum 2)Blue bird def.- blue skies, sunny 3)Yard sale def.- when a skier falls and loses both skis and poles. To be shouted very loud 4)Safety meeting def.- Time to smoke a bowl on the mountain 5)

Sunny day today! Good bouldering going on at Larrabee state park in Bellingham. It felt good to press my face against REAL rock, and not that plastic I have to climb all winter. I bet Mount Erie was great today too.

Are you sure it's a chick? Don't all sport climbers shave their legs for less drag?

I'll buy beer for anyone who can get pictures of Bobbi climbing naked

Word-up dawg!

How about using the North Carolina running belay.
