the new beowulf - at least if you've read the poem

word. you know the holy trinity then. things might well not have dried out enough by then, but i highly recommend flying swallow (you can rap in from the far west end of grassy ledges) if its wet everywhere else as it stays dry the longest. you also need would enjoy stepphenwulf, flying circus, blood sweatn'smears, bluebird and jensens ridge.

i might be blake adn would love to show you 'roudn - i might go to hood though if the forecast stays good - stay in touch - at any rate, i'm sure i could hook you up w/ the grand patriarch of beacon, who is def the coolest person to climb w/ there...

what else can you do after an epic ascent of da south sista? practice makes perfect.

interesting linguistic lesson? apparently, in arabic, "no" DOES mean "yes?"

i remember climbing in seneca rocks, wv - there's rock quarries of somethign like that real close by, i assume, b/c every hour or so tremendous explosions could be heard - lent the place ambiance for certain climbing round gunfire'skewl - you can close your eyes on lead and imagine you're a ranger storming the cliffs of normandy!

you think my banana peel/apple core IS garbage

strange - woulda thought the url was http://drinkingmeownpiss.com

funny, the first time i met colin and wayne one of the 2 of them did just that - luckily it was right around 420 so i was pretty much completly bulletproof to such tomfoolery

I was just pissed cuz Ropeup felt like a PTA meeting for soccer moms and overbearing fathers. that's cuz all the kewl fawks were too busy epic'n to start drinking 'fore 2 AM!

Can I have your toenails? sorry, i already them after i remembered my 10th grade biology teacher said it'd get me "high, high, high as georgia pine"

i disagree - for the folks who can't afford cable, pbs offers about the only programming that's good for brain-food (hmm - should i watch "nova" or "america's next top model?")

so does this mean you're officially recusing yerself from passing judgement?

is there anyplace outside san diego (well, that ain't on fire currenlty)? no conditions are too shitty to render climbing at beacon rock unfun!

i've yet to meet anyone who's a bigger prick in real life than here...can anyone think of someone who's the exception to that rule?

ever notice how folks who don't believe in evolution look really unevolved? they believe god made them in one day. looks to me like he might have rushed it...

for what its worth, that climb and the whole traverse are done easily enough in just boots (more of an issue on the traverse when you wanna keep the weight down)

That's funny. When I was crossing the Elliot I saw you guys up on the ridge. It looked like the wind was going to blow you guys off! yeah, it was an alaskan breeze - made camping up there on saturday night downright amusing, especially for my partner, who'd never done the winter camping thang b4 - the gentle sound of my tent being rent into a million pieces by the wind served as a fine counterpoint to my whiskey-swilling n' hank williams listening evening i was unclear from your tr - did you summit? or were you just playing on the lower icelines?

that was probably us you saw - good job!

which gully did you climb? the rt one looked right thin from the spur... - ballsy for sure - it was damn windy sunday morning and the forecast for monday left no room for fuckups!

from the same movie - "by the way - i faked all those orgasms" and "it's enrico pallazi!" Gonna take a shot here... A lot of in Caddyshack...?? nope, but it does have OJ in it...

"in life, all things merge to one..."

i admit - i'm a worm! my wife has bested no least out of me! so what the fuck is it?!?

so try this one on for size: "he's a real gentleman - he must take the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it!"

come on now, pat! i've come to expect more difficult things from you! from the same film: "i made him an offer he couldn't refuse" "that is not justice - your daughter is still alive - if you had come to me earlier, these men would even now be in pain" "one day a man will come to you with a favor" "lucio bratzia (sp?!) sleeps w/ the fishes"
