  1. do you know the sign i'm talking about joe? down on the talus field, near the base of the west face - cruelly bolted to a big tree - it's old as hell and would seem to read like you can never climb below the trail
  2. malayasian pirates seem to make a nice living despite invariably murdering everyone on board the boats they sieze
  3. did you know it takes more muscles to than ?
  4. not being aggressive or bitchy joe, just curious since i don't know and you might - how long has the west side been closed and what was the purpose behind the closure? i'm not all that dissapointed by it as the stuff just off the ground is kinda crappy looking, but it would be nice on sunny evenings in winter...
  5. i feel like that kid from american beauty - you know the wierd fucker w/ the video collection and the nazi dad - this thread is the most beautiful thing in the whole world!
  6. beats me - i doubt its bird, since it's a permanent closure - is it just a fear that tourists will kill climbers?
  7. isn't that face below the trail closed to climbing? there's an ancient sign bolted into a tree that says no climbing, but maybe it just means the tree
  8. is it jeff's rope from when he was doing all that cleaning on the face this summer?
  9. that would sure explain all that positive proganda they were throwing bush's way the last 8 years
  10. i think the U.N. sucks ass funny - b/c we basically created it that and the league of nations after ww1 (but then folks such as yourself talked the senate into refusing to join it, a large contributing factor to ww2, and thus the reason for our actually joining the un) for an organization that rarely manages to do anything other than talk, i find it wierd how hated the un is by a large # of amerikkkans who seem to think it's taken over the earth and made the baby jesus cry
  11. returned yesterday to this fine route to work on my aid-soloing - signficantly freakier for me this way, but i'll learn - a nice fat crack at ground level serves well for an anchor at least, w/ a sketchy nut above to keep it oriented properly met the irascible denalidave, running the trail as always still don't see where to put a nut in on the traverse, but the grappling hook works just fine aided a wee bit past the anchor and looks like the next pitch will go indeed and be sweet, if ever it stops dripping
  12. i think we volunteered?
  13. the earth would not seriously be diminished where the whole state of kentucky excised by aliens and taken away for further study/sterilization

    Fuck that, I reads dat shit fer yer stellar writing. We can copy and paste someone else's pics as we all know what it looks like:-) How was it for you when you weren't shivering your ass off? I've done it with only nuts. The most memorable part of that is when my partner, clipping my pro which had just held me, pops a #7 wired stopper on the 2nd pitch traverse (if you did it as 3 total) and swings out over that overhang into big air space. Cams and cam hooks make some of this stuff much better on the nerves. alright, well maybe i'll take on the word-crafting challenge - the humor will have to possess me first and the wife sends word she just bought a zombie-apocalypse game this afternoon so i might be distracted in the evenign you're right about nuts though - the whole route can be done w/ just them - the scary parts were on tiny ass brassies that could be cleaned w/ the slightest outward tug a fat fishhook helped on pitch 2.
  15. though maybe the first bolt is lacking a hanger at the moment?

    I'll bet that camping with you is real fun. Just as the fire gets going real strong you do a stinky steamy piss right into it I'll bet. Then you drop trou and crap on the picnic table so that people can remember you when they wake up the next day and have breakfast. Very memorable, not in a good way I mean. Thanks to everyone else for the well wishes! actually i think that's how tvash hugs shit out - i could feel the love - you couldn't feel the love?

    not this time i think - i have no pictures, and tr's w/ no pix make kevbone
  19. sounds like ozone is just for you!
  20. lcq?
  21. clearly, this always been the message to pirates, but it's lack of utility, historically, is clear - pirates don't dissappear b/c they're generally coming from a place so fucked up to start w/ that they don't care if they die
