i've repeated that one so many goddamn times and i have no clue as to the veracity of the authorship - i always seem to change the inches of dicks'n'pants too... the real story seems to be his philanthropy - how many hardcore FA seekers these days give up on the game to devote themselves to community service? i admire him b/c it's hard to imagine being able to make such a sacrifice meself. i wonder how much he continued to just walk the hills in his later years?

i'll be there - how'bout "brokeback mtn" - sounds like it oughta have some hot mountain action - dunno, never seen it! if we gotta rewatch jim's climbing stash, ain't nothing better than the welshman soloing da eiger in winter and that 70s el cap hooterific one!

i used cheap-o rei check-out stand 20$ sunglasses on denali and loved them - kept buying the same pair every time they broke or i lost them for a couple years too, now the bastards don't have them anymore - shit! shoulda bought 20 pairs all at once. the most important thing for me w/ non-glacier glasses sunglasses is getting total protection for the eye from all directions - on rainier once i had regular polarized sunglasses but had to use duck-tape to add "mudflaps" to the bottom of the glasses b/c i was getting blinded by the bounce-up

a'ight - i heard 3 maybe's n' a definitely - more, more, more! i want like a baker's dozen present for the cool evening's 420...

the more the merrier...who else? party at the moon-tower!

looks like it'll be sunny on sunday (saturday'll do too if the forecast moves)- who's interested in climbing some soping wet (or maybe nice n' icy) rock? it'll be nice just to get out, even if it does turn into an aid fest...corner, one of da gulls, blow-me-out, whatever...

this would concern me more if i actually made enough a year to sock 2k away none of this would be a problem if we just started w/ the "logan's run" changes i'm proposing... renew bitches!

i've no doubt my 4 year old daughter'll be popular as a teenager - she's blond, rambunctious, and needs to be reminded hourly to put some damn panties on! that's my girl though!

great selection - these were the parts of vanya y mir that kept me reading!

the little thread that could! the nodder is fucking going down!

duuude - thought you swore by them things!?! it wasn't as fucked as my repair job though, no?

i refuse to give up the vigil!

hope to get good n' goddamned lost while searching for the vertical equivalent of a city of gold, then ultimately to deprive said citadel of it's chastity like the marquis de sade backstage at an old-fashioned southern debutant coming-out par-tay bear been awhile since i've done anything on rainier - liberty ridge? never have climbed liberty bell solo something big n' dumb finish dry-humping my way up every crack out at beacon

can't believe da corner went a whole 10 days unloved after my last visit!

it's pretty old, and hanging out in the freezing weather for a few weeks probably didn't help i'd be happy enough to just get the 'biners back as the draws could all use replacing...

joe - my partner left a blue dyneema sling on the busted pin at the top of the slab of p2 (really needed an extra foot-step there on the solstice), also a nut and a bunch of orange mammut slings on the first step of p3 - do i win the prize for guessing right?

so long as the jugs stay put at the start of p2!

did you happen to see or recover the slings and nut my partner left behind at the top of p2 and at the first step of p3?

soooo - how was it? could see all the way to mt jeff from my b-room today - musta been good, as it was warm - bet it was still drippy though...

what? no picture of the mad deep trench we created?

well crafted verse sir - my poignant memories: accidentally including the track from "dark side of the moon" that contains thousands of clocks going off when selecting tunes for the somnolent hours waist deep trenches of despair dreams of eagles no motorcycling allowed - ever! awaking to a complete 720 on an icy i90 at 40 mph around 530 a.m. - experienced in the sidewise reclined position in the unbuckled backseat yoowza!

haaaaaa! so damn wasted from digging an endless trench through infinite deep snow over the past few days to even contemplate climbing a ladder - i'll be out there soon enough though!

got a spandex t-shirt - umm, hello? does my beer-gut n' hamhock-titties really need to be so well defined and packaged for the sighted-public?
