9/14 - day 36 - awoke hungover n' horrid 'round 6 on the couch - straggled upstairs for a sad attempt at a few extra hours of snoozing - appropriate to be horror-struck n' hairy-tongued for climbing a route called wild turkeys, wutcha say? wild-turkeys w/ geoff - wondrous times, woe-struck by heat, tongue thick w/ wine-slick - hairy recollections of halcyon dayz - me the first, him the last - small cams, tiny nutz, off-sets n' hammering aplenty on kniveblades n' soft euro-trash - the smiths n' tom waits wailing in endless loops on the what-have-you - jim at the base - philosophies n' philanderous frippery -burgundy n' beer n' bullshit'n - lounging along the new-laid sou'east co'ner - the way bent back to the beginning n' pat all pulled up n' waiting - booze n' bereavement n' bitzes soon returning "The world don't care what a sailor does in town It's all hanging in the windows by the pound"

beta.

sorry, can't be an official olympics high traverse tr w/o a picture of a bear looks a gentle n' glorious gambol

all them horses can't hoof in some permanent bear-proof cache boxes like in yosemite to be put at trail junctions?

super-fun thread brah

i got yelled at by a goddamn octagenerian at zero-dark-thirty, hung-over as hell - something about bivying 5 foot from the privy?

shame...there you'll be "just another freak in the freak-kingdom" sure is a mecca for peddlers though.

9/12 - #35 - a jibber-jabber up cruis'n/middle-aged warriors w/ miker in the wind and dying desert heat - prizes in the fenceposts - what a wonderful world?

fixed rope to the base of it at the moment, should anyone wish to throw their hat in the range - looking forward to having my first (old skewl) try at it this weekend - looks like good pro to start, but a hammer sure seems a phat-boy's friend further along i liked his solo corner style last weekend - shirt off in the parking lot and sprinting down the trail - damn sure way to ruin your beer...

why do the carbon units infest cc.com? barney the space ranger oughta be by anyday to cite us for littering Boss's interstellar medium

there are few rules in this fucking world, not touching another man's sacred tobacco being one of them... can't believe you goddamn bastards couldn't bring me along. shit woulda been d-i-f-f-e-r-e-n-t.

dunno 'bout willie, but his beef-eat'n wife is center stage

9/11 - day #34 - somber day as always this time of year, though interesting - the first crop of seniors i've had none of whom could remember the happenings of but 12 years ago - mismangled comms w/ the powderhound, him sitting out at the parking lot, soaking up the intense sols, me hanging round camas waiting for the call meet old boy at the base and a solo lap we had, 11/31 so far with summer surging and a successful completion all but assured roped round on free4all soon thereafter - the biggest surprise on the rap - goddamn 8.9 mm rope, w/ 260 lbs of bubble-gum attached to it on an overhanging rappel, results in massive laser-burns through the palm unless you add some biners or wear gloves woven w/ space-shuttle-tile style wonder-fabric

self-propelled adventure

i'd need more than a 2-day weekend to make it work for me - if you're pretty confident, it's not an insane solo - nice to have a fellow meat-popsicle for the route finding and to share the mega-epic setting though

after what you canuckistanis did to them poor furry fellas for all them years, i'm surprised this shit don't happen on a more massive scale

we should set up an import bidness together

dohl, kenny, you're gonna wake the kevbone - no one wants to hear about folks climbing on a climbing website! shit, you're climbing w/ gurlz these days? lucky bastard. see you out there tomorrow n' thursday, if'n you're about. i'm out of cigs

wish i could - good luck and don't forget your brush-snorkel! soloing the e ledge is reasonable if you can't find a partner.

fall's a dangerous time on them thare volcanoes - if you're content to rock climb at smith should things go to shit though, might be worth the money

didn't know there was rock solid enough to rap off on guye

9/7 - #33 - trail dayz - a herd assembled after 9 - ranger lecturz - why shouldn't i lick the saw-blade again? buncha beatards in attendance - adam n' kenny, the silvermanz, lucky larry, matt the hulk, crackman, nastia n' oleg n' some other slavic folk, plus no small number of imps n' goons of all sorts n' stripes - built a right nifty set of belay platforms for the se corner, finally a comfy place to put your shoes on and rope-wrangle, should you be into that sorta thing - jim'll hate it of course, but i notice all his routes have sweet set-ups at the base solo lap off at the end of hte work day, 10/30 now for the season, then beerz n' bullshitting w/ many folks back up in the lot - geoff n' i had a breezy cruise up cruis'n'jillz afterward, bumping up against oleg n' nastia along the way - krazy foolz bathign in the columbia over the fence - motorboats bottoming out in the low, low river - a cool kid named dasan the third soloist on the corner today, him fresh from alaska and the wild, high life of youth....

9 a.m., devushka - if you're not drinking screwdrivers at that hour i'll be mighty dissapointed i'm looking to climb afterwards as well, though as hard as it's been raining, it might be a bit damp

awwww, kevbone's like a girl who's mouth says no, but who's eyes say yes, yes, yesssssss!!!
