dunno - i like "hey man nice shot" hella better - perhaps we need a kevbonesque poll? [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF7fRwVZQsE

i always thought this the better french rev painting and i don't see any comparisions to marat in the nascent administration

filter owes your estate, big time!

ouch, how did that happen? that's what i get for climbing w/ non-stoners

you soloed the corner today? nice! i've got the new aid route pretty much wired and it'll got quick now (i gotta do it friday or wait till summer) - we could climb something cool to get up there like blownout, then finish via the new sickness - we'd have to scare up a pair of jugs though

i won't like it if 8-ball is let go, but i'll deal - afterall, american criminals are let go when the cops don't follow the rules, right? that's why we're supposed to follow the fucking rules, no?

Is it just me, or do her tits look like a butt? that's evolution for you - when we started standing up all the time chicks had to evolve something to keep ole'johnny good n' anxious when he was standing in front of her oh wait, what the fuck kinda comment is that in a thread about a chick hocking her ass for her education?

Yeah I agree, that was total bullshit. how so? i heard that to mean: we are a pluralistic society that accepts equality for women, all religions, etc - the al queda manifesto against the usa said we had to essentially apologize and renouce those lifestyle choices though.

shortly before i fell 120 feet (and somehow didn't die): "i thought YOU brought the rope!?!"

hey dave - wanna climb friday? anyone? jeebus - it's my last chance (well, 'cept for next monday i guess...)

Hmmm, I wonder what's going on in there? i was fixing my cable?

that's fucking awful - ugh! too early for details of course, but wtf happened? the ss always is getting stone/icefall of some sort, and folks get hit frequently (i certainly have been nailed there b4) - why'd this accident have such a cruel ending?

i dunno - somehow i was underwhelmed - maybe it's b/c i watched it 5 times w/ 16 year olds?

also consider just not climbing it - the mtn pretty much blows - i did the west ridge back in 2004 and it was alright, but not worth getting wasted on the uber-crap rock there though - there's too much good rock in the world to go slopping around on garbage, no?

my watch altimeter has saved my ass many times - i used to have a fancy suunto but replaced it w/ a cheaper brand after a hot chick distracted me and made me lose it you don't need much - the intricate details some watches will store are nice, but in the end a simple read out is good - my current one only annoys me b/c changing the elevation when recalibrating it takes a maddeningly long time consider just putting hte watch on a lanyard around your neck - if most conditions that you'll need the watch for navigating, you'll be wearing 10 jackets adn 5 pairs of gloves and have a hard time getting at your wrist i don't like gps' much for whiteout conditions for similiar reasons

Too bad you didn't include some fungus in you gear list! actually at the time i wanted grog - it reminded me of ahab annoiting his spears w/ rum, then channeling the st. elmos fire into them

an oddity i forgot to include - perhaps you've seen the same thing before? the single-wall tent was flapping so wildly saturday night that i suppose it built up a static charge? whenever i touched the walls sparks traced the outline of my hands, oftentime continuing to light up the darkness for 20 seconds or so - trippy!

Free? no - it's probably a .12ish route like the other ledge routes and not remotely in my neighborhood - i'll belay you if you wanna give it a go though

your 1st ascent of the big R was in winter? niiice! shame you didn't get to experience The Suck though!

thats the one i'd be amazed to see it go free

friday's my last day to climb at the beloved beacon-wand this season, so i'll be there rain or shine

dave - don't know who w/, but w/ somebody i wanna finish the first full fa of the new route off the ledge - probably saturday

that oughta be great - the sunlight beind the spindrift blowing off the spur, viewed directly from below, was indeed sublime

no need to actually take good pics, tvash's photoshopping skills generally render even shit into the sublime - it'll take him a day to get home though
