if rain's forecast you're always taking a chance - sometimes the weatehr will be crap below 7k and beautiful above though - if you climb rock, bring some shit for smith, and if hood works, great, if not, press on into the desert!

and ditto on waht dane said too - i find looking back on my old tr's that i'm deeply in love w/ myself and i should immediately have meself cloned so i can start making sweet, sweet, sweet love

Ivan, look what you've unleashed! Is nothing sacred anymore?!? this post is clearly not my fault - if it had been truly inspired then me it would have made far less sense and been far more vulgar - plus, where's the soundtrack!? you gotta start the show w/ whatever fucktard lyric that incessantly rang in your hand while the grim reaper but his icy claw around yer nutsack!

might still need the hammer to clean dem nutz though if a giant phat-ass such as meself has been stomping on'em!

would it be cheaper if they ditched all the horseshit prose and just made it more like the porn mag it is (and all i want)? - you know - giant glossy pictures of fake looking people doing shit so insane you figure it's gotta be fake too? the only written part of the mag i think that's essential and i'd like to see stay are the 1 page histories of climbs of specific routes on the featured mountain.

fear that it was already a big enough sausuage-fest?

clearly need to practice all aspects of penj'ing prior to going to the valley - anyone got advice on good spots round the pdx area, even if they're (obviously) on a smaller scale? i can think of bunch of options at beacon of course, but that peregrine is a mean motherfucker. where else? i'll take general advice on the art as well, as i've yet to give it a go.

there's a bunch of tr's on it (my one of course being the best of the bunch ) it's a very impressive peak viewed from it's pass, just across the raging creek - it's got the full range of vertical jungle'swacking, alpine heather/snow bands, and easy'ish rock - if you descend by rapping down the goode/stormking col it's a very cool package deal, but i don't think it's as cool as j'burg it's main standout in my mind is a giant goddamn downhill walk to get to it!

my favorite 5: volcano - ptarmigan ridge, rainier crag'n (gotta go w/ my local beacon crag) - the complete stepphenwulf (sure wise i could free more of it ) alpine crag'n - west face of colchuck balanced (ditto) gnarly all-around mountaineering sufferfest - ne butt of j'burg (winter or summer, badass!) super-duper in-your face big mountain in the wilderness mixed mountaineering - nooksack n face bertulis/davis route

no denying it's either of those, but by those standards, how can it beat, say, outerspace?

shouldn't the "best crack" actually require you to jam it though? dastardly crack, on the other hand...

5 gallon buckets das toof ingalls peak infinite bitch'n the r n' d route

if i had a dollar for everytime i had to do the climb of shame back up to illumination gap from down on the reid, i'd probably have enough for a value meal - a decent one - not no just small size n' cheesburger kinda bullshit meal, but one w/ the fatty burger - w/ the big drink and the commemorative cup - n' the curly fries - n' maybe some ice cream to boot?

hiking out this way requires you carry all your shit up n' over though yes? excellent alpine trainign of course, but it leaves the poor goats nothign to chew on!

called whiteboy - you know he'll be mortified he's appearing on teh interwubs? might have to apply a couple extra wraps of aluminimum foil on his hat, eh?

well can you at least change your avatar image to a scarlet T?

i hope you were using pba-free nalgene's, freaky-boyz!

erik...i know that you live in WA, but is there even any granite in OR? that granite wall near the salem boulders looks like a mini index oh? at ny rate, i mean w/n a quick drive - basalt is cool n' all, bur granite has a certain grandeur, no?

well played on #5 but yeah, you nailed me dead to rights - that osama dude was just totally misunderstood islam doesn't count as a dumbass religion/philosophy? i doubt you meant that its the only religion to throw up dumbass motherfuckers - christians, jews, muslims and hindus have all proven their ability to get crazy w/ it

climbing in the sunshine w/ chix in bikinis = haaaaaawt!

i wish i lived near granite

what about when its pouring rain and blowing gale-force strong below silcox?

you're in luck! jobs in fighting terrorism are as recession-proof as jobs delivering babies and dispensing with corpses
