the invisible hand sure spends a lot of time of its very visible johnson

it's easier to shittalk yer freinds n' frenemies on cc.com

i'll be game for the fisher towers n' all that desert crazyiness soon as i find a partner

when you gonna be healthy enough again for such mundane things, boy-o?

little old ladies in woolen knickers managed the hood-mord-wand w/ mere alpenstocks in the grand old days of fuck-ever, so there's no honor to be had in even an axe that said, i usually have a 2nd tool for even the dog route, if only for the training weight and the added security after guzzling a 5th of peppermint schnapps upon the summit

nah tyler, haven't even really scraped the surface, i feel - yet to do a real el cap route, and haven't touch half dome - your other ideas are cool of course, but still boil down to finding a partner who can rummage around for much of the time - the nice thing about the valley is the density of cool shit to do (assuming its not africa-hot), as well as having largely figured out all the logistical bullshit. happy to wander up into canuckistan or elsewhere if'n anybody's hot for that.

wayne, i'm in the market for a yosemtime trip this june - come do a badass big wall, eh? how'd you conspire to fall, let alone rip so much gear? which pitch?

yeah, gotta work w/ the dates i have off - last summer it was perfect conditions during that window - the summer before that it alright, and the first summer weapons-grade retard hot never tried the show-up-solo trip but sure like to have someone along for the drive and to not lose time trying to figure the partner out...

fuckface is wicked fun

have you been to virginia and/or tennessee in july homeboy? come to the valley w/ me 'bone! bring pink!

the wife and kids are heading back east next month and i get about a month off work to go play in the valley - my would-be partner's life got all fucked up though, and i'm back to square 1. i'm free starting june 21 and don't have to be back 'round portland till july 19. mostly interested in big wall routes, and likely will meet some friends down there for the last 2 weeks of my window, so don't need a partner for all that time. had been planning on the nose, but really anythign on el cap would be cool. still need to climb half dome. help a brother out, eh?

about time

i was so broken-off-at-the-bend last weekend i'da qualied at a bolt ladder i'm inspired now though, so next time it's goign down

i wanna hear a tr for the kangaroo, it can't be as grim as the smiff guide says, eh?!

don't forget the black goddamn tobacco as the digestif, eh?

why eat it when it's so much easier to drink it? don't forget to relax the throat

looks way kewler in those conditions

"what the fuck are you talking about?"

consume weapons-grade halogenic drugs n' still clamber on local rock in the presence of Known Dickheads? sweeeet video! "there are other annapurnas in the life of man"

is it possible to climb at trout creek w/o taping and not come away looking like you fisted the virgin mary?

battery acid out to get out all the oily patches

you might define "work" - historically, it's been plenty succesful in producing wealth and conquering the world - if our space exploration is ever to get anywhere significant, it'll take capitalism to underwrite it i bet.

no reason you can't hate rich assholes just as much as poor ones?

i agree - 9000$ person isn't exactly a fortune anyhow?

i'll spare you having to look up the numbers: something like $63 trillion in 2010, and 7 billion meat-popsicles currently stumbling around terra firma
