all work and no play makes jack a dull boy all work and no play makes jack a dull boy all work and no play makes jack a dull boy all work and no play makes jack a dull boy all work and no play makes jack a dull boy all work and no play makes jack a dull boy all work and no play makes jack a dull boy all work and no play makes jack a dull boy

ya'll gonna be out there again today? i'm sans partner but figured if it was gonna be pouring out i could just go back to the rat cave - might put in an appearnace and try to figure out something to aid-solo at the 'side though too if there's some company about.

facebook makes The Man

yes - that's what the youtube video was of, eh? but my crap was EPIC, brah! at any rate, it's a route still in its infancy and is a very much needed adn valued addition to the north side during these dark closure days, so thought folks might profit by its publicity - the fact that its bone dry even in the wettest of conditions is a further plus

another beacon first for me last night - some species of bird i've not heard before - sounds very much like a child being tortured - maybe it was just a paderast up on rancho relaxo, but whatever it was, it couldn't help but bring a sick twisted smile to my face

are the links to all my pictures broken or is it just my school computer blocking them i wonder?

"celebrate?" dude, you are so coming out of the closet, aren't you?

"our antics are cheeky and funny, but his are cruel and tragic"

Trip: Beacon Rawk - The Empire Strikes Back - C1 (5.12) Date: 3/18/2009 Trip Report: been 2 months since a beacon tr! wtf? this one's for you pink! and you tvash! actually it's "seige tactics" which i reckon was originally reckoned at 5.10 a2, but at the moment is a que manifigue c1 affair (requires either a cam hook or a talon hook) - i had to rename it for myself based on my laytonesque struggle w/ a mighty-turd from the outset - after i finished the climb and miker was cleaning it, i had to sprint for the shitter whereupon i had an experience i can only liken onto "the empire strikes back" - grim and gloomy, a clear sense of their needing to be a sequel, a deep seated feeling like the good guys hadn't won i noticed this climb right aroudn the time i think it was put up last spring, when i was doing headspace right next door - later i found this clip of shane doing the fa and taking a nice little screamer [video:youtube] it's a cool chunk of beacon stone - very grippy and blocky, but wildly overhanging and rippling w/ rooves - today a continous torrent of waterfalls poured off the overhangs, but this little gem is totally protected a couple pbr's n some mostly cardboard smokes were a good beginning i didn't free climb any of it - it's still fun in moped-like aiders - hey, an excuse to place my #6! after that plenty of small aliens and nuts and a nice little hook move, some steep, funky crack climbing and then a nice set of anchors - looks like the good fa'ers are continuing the line past this and it's a wicked cool setting, but it was a definite niagra falls zone today i *heart* my ass after aborting my ass-babies while mike cleaned, i returned and he re-led it for shits'n'giggles - i chain-smoked and pbr'ed myself into oblivion while channeling bruce springstein and beowulf, then cleaned mike's shit up in the gloaming - skeeters n' hoot owls n' croaking frogs annouced that spring has sprung, and we scuttled off goddamn i miss beacon! looking forward to seeing where this climb ends up as it appears to be a rancho-relaxo directo! saw the farside crew on the drive out - holy shit you boys were packing the lot! my hedonistic twinges almost made me stop but i had to press on through Gear Notes: big nut, small nut 2 green/yellow/red aliens, .75, #1 camelots big ass #6 camelot Approach Notes: exhausting...

spray would be mighty thin after your regime came into town

Travel to strange exotic lands, Meet interesting people, And kill them. is that you john wayne? is this me?

dude, there's too much gear in the way! but thanks for including me in the select "i've been pm'ed by a pissed off prissy bitch" club though!

which i imagine puts you w/ the cunts in the front, eh?

visualize whirled assholes

wtf do miners know about climbing? spelunking - now there's their hobby!

i like the bill maher suggestion - select a choice few, crucify them in front of wall street, and leave them gibboted there w/ their cocks clipped and hanging from their mouth till they rot kinda a "trading places" meets "spartacus" kinda thing?

secret military detention facilities are futher evidence that, if god exists (and especially if he made us in his image), he sure is a flaming asshole

Irish like to BS, drink and sing. What's not to like about them? Ya feerrget fight'n... and chundering...

so you believe its possible to have a secret prison and NOT torture people in it?

1960's mom: i'm glad little jimmy spends so much time w/ father mike - a preist will keep him so safe from those dirty little hippies!

i'd assume you could have your scrotum nailed to the wall by his/her folks/guardian, even if you'd had them sign a thousand waivers beforehand

why does tvash hate himself and his country, god, why? we are funny about it though - funny in that we do it, while a good % of us shriek about it - anyone just see will ferrell's "you're welcome america?"

You provide a prolific conduit for all kinds of outbursts especially after ice cream and bean burritoes!
