dude, who DOESN'T want to see something like this go fantastically wrong? it's like nascar, only way less interesting to 99% of americans

my fav part of the weekend was getting rousted by the camp host at 7 a.m. for bivying 10 feet away from the crapper

pm blake and/or kurt hicks and maybe they'll smile on you

"the bear's gonna be walking the road today boys" sounds like he'll ready for simul-free soloing w/ me then, eh, dave? hopefully he can compartmentalize his existence - i assume he's not climbing in uniform?

there's a significant chance of pulling another ivan - don't know about the otehr pdx'ers, but when i drive that far to climb and drink beer, the emphasis is on the climbing part (we can alwasy drink beer the whole drive back! ) thinking i'll be setting up a seige camp on snow creek wall in a few hours - hopefully get up both orbit and os on friday, sleep by the creek (40 oz's already packed, beyotch), then up early and after somethign a wee bit more adventerous - hopefully back to the part-tay b4 the keg gives out

"i don't know half of you half as well as i would like, and i like less than half of you half as much as you deserve"

fuck! looks like you'll have to earn your north face climb this fall

nice! thumbs up there writ'n'chick! my intro to soft-core romance adventure porn had to have been like so many other adolescent boys - the "clan of the cave bear" series! ah, ayla, where are you now honey?!?

a sport climber getting hurt while climbing aint' news? now if it was a trad-ie...

annnhh - mostly assholes, easily replaced by the latest generation of assholes erik's complete inability to master basic concepts of spelling, grammar, and capitalization were absofuckinglutely incomparable though. so not true! (and i say the following with much affection) I think erik's inability is rivaled and comparable to Muffy's no way - a scientific comparision of their posts will surely indicate he had more gramifuctations by at least a factor of 10 - plus he smoked his body-weight in weed on a weekly basis

plus it's his unbirthday today!

me n' geoff oughta be 'roudn the scene saturday - think we're gonna climb in the backcountry friday and spend the night out, but should be aroudn the next night unless i epic again like last year!

did somebody take an iron to poor girl's face?

this pic is dying for a caption!

annnhh - mostly assholes, easily replaced by the latest generation of assholes erik's complete inability to master basic concepts of spelling, grammar, and capitalization were absofuckinglutely incomparable though. Indeed! Was that erik, the red-haired Baby Jesus? yse!

hahahahaa Yeah. Remember that scene in Big Lebowski when The Dude asks the cop in the car impound lot if the detectives were going to dust for prints? "i wouldn't hold out much hope for the creedence"

ya'll should totally take that to the roulette table! black, nigra, black!

holy shit, amongst other miracles, this event flushed out teenage-heart-throb-when-long-hair-down-goddamned-old-fahqing-larry! - both in person and on teh intrewubs!

WWJMD? what would john muir do?

dunno what route you were doing, but whatever it was, it oughta be redubbed "coke-whore's delight!"

annnhh - mostly assholes, easily replaced by the latest generation of assholes erik's complete inability to master basic concepts of spelling, grammar, and capitalization were absofuckinglutely incomparable though.

wait...people smoke weed in the mountains? isn't that like, not safe or something?

yeah, so very high likilihood 8-ball's fencing stolen shit - can't one of ya'll seattle types call the cops and have them investigate it?
