just saw the opb preview and it looks lovely, though i didn't spy any of the bee-you-tee-full naked chicks that made my eagle creek canyon jaunt last summer unforgettable

Evidentally you are not one of them Kevbone. Me neither. Its what comes with being to radical. They don't want us sport climbers bolting up the place. LOL Seriously though....I would like to know who is representing me at Beacon. Thanks! thought that had been listed on this thread already? bill coe's one, he can tell us the others - i doubt all 8 of them have spent time in the land of the little people

tiny giant cock or no?

1/31 - day 2 - closing day, and not a very promising one - 39 degrees n' pouring rain in the parking lot - a drive out through mental desperation, the moss on this here rolling rock of meself growing thick n' fucking shaggy beers n' bullshitting w/ steve n' waiting for the weather to give up a little - there were no illusions of how thorough soggy it was gonna be no wind to speak of though, so there was that at least and it got warmer on the south side after the mist melted away - soon enough i cast off, pulling on gear here and there to remind meself not to be a dipshit on a point of pride climbing the slime-cone the sun shone out halfway up and the mood improved noticeably - fresh snow, as innocent as a downy laotian-lamb along the far gorge walls -steve was exuberant to lead the second pitch and i salute him for it as it wouldn't have taken much to talk me out of it a real slippy-slidey one is that - our boy did it w/o flying off but, following, i found meself doing the cartoon-character spinning me feet in the air thang at one point and only narrowly avoiding a pretty cosmic pirouette around the first crux found meself holding forth somethign fierce on tree ledge, swilling pbr n' pounding upon our poor fellow about his own cosmic hangups -those rightly disposed, and a few butts thrown in to boot, i bolted on up the slippery ramps to grassy ledges - since i had a 70 and the jill's anchor was running wet, i went past it and anchored to a tree - a flippant shoulder belay ensued n' steve quite soon went n' fell big time onto it but i proved them old-boys knew what they were doing and ended up smiling on the ground for it the trail closed sign even as we slipped away - stone soup next month now i suppose, though i suspect it's gonna take a civil action and yet another juicy skamania judge session before it gets sorted out - how good is it i have no other hobbies?

not to poo-poo avi risks, but...how many folks have been killed by avis on hood? can't have been more than a couple over the centuries...

plus, like, i'm always scrambling to throw the spliff in the half-beer between me legs n' stow it somewhere quick

You read my mind. I don't know anyone on this forum, but reading through this thread and other threads on Cascade Climbers I have an observation about Ivan. Most of his posts are very concise and his humor is on the mark. And he seems to make these short comments at just the perfect place on a thread. I bet he would be a fun guy to have a beer with someday! the natural by-product of dispensing with brawlers, bitches and plain-old ray-tards each n' every day

You read my mind. i'll need a herd of tauntauns to port my burgundy, by god - i'm not braving this bitch with anything less than 15 lovely red-liters and enough ether to bill-cosby every mountain goat, sasquatch n' cougar in the county

i'd say he sucked the last ounce out of the keg of glory

didya summit?

hard to beat the reid, but it's much more fun in icy conditions

the immediate priority i think should be getting the north side back open - closing the whole thing right after the storm might have made sense, but 2 months later folks ought to have access - stone soup in particular is silly to have closed, seeing as how its 50 feet from the open parking lot.

ugh...solid rain through the weekend...

like vegas, just w/ a slightly higher chance of running into some sorta love child of isis n' boko haram shine on you crazy diamond!

couldn't say, though i think not - it was the main-sail's boom only a week left for legal-beacon for awhile - got the day off 2morrow - anybody interested in slumm'n it in the damp?

indeed, and as an old-fat phuck meself, i can't help but ask: what's wrong w/ a would-be mountain climber that he can't walk up a couple thousand feet of groomed track?

wurst grayed eye eva gawt wuz inn spalling quite the syzygy these morning currently, if only the cloud-gods would fuck off...

for some reason my brain read ozone it's possible i'm getting dumberer as i age hell, okay, broughton's. yeah, offer a homeless guy a sandwich and give him a bow-saw and bob's yer uncle.

it's not a park, so anybody who contributes labor to fix the trail gets good kharma

given the ratty appearance and advanced age of all my hawt climbing gear, i doubt i'm supporting any expedition going further than the end of my street

el cap clearly needs to get changed to the "carl's junior memorial wall"

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-yosemite-ahwahnee-hotel-20160114-story.html holy shit, does this mean were gonna have to start saying we partied like cock-stars on the "majestic yosemite ledge" and that we just climbed "curry dome" in a day?

a line that prevented at least one bailure in my life

Not sure how many germans were at pearl harbor enough to make a t-shirt at least

love the digi-cami
