i see my idea of not notifying hte interweb didn't work beautiful day - funny how grey and gloomy it is just 20 miles west - least my garden don't need me 2day...

looks plenty like poison oak to me, w/ the scabs caused no doubt from scratching - for me, in bad cases, 4-5 days after exposure the bubbling will expand to immense proportions (say my entire bicep to wrist), will constantly be sloughing off the outer layer of skin, popping and oozing a yellowish/orange goo that hardens quickly - an obvious scar will remain even 3 weeks later poison oak = an indication that, if god exists, he's most definetly an asshole

mt triumph as described in nelson's book: "alone, aloof, dramatic"

probably put in by this guy...

after the first day of chopping Infinite Bitching...

don't forget to leave your box of doughnuts on the dashboard w/ yer beer either - little debbie, sarah who-ever-dah-fuck, whatever - getting back to the car to discover a baker's fresh dozen iz badazz!

that is not a good idea... i had someone break a riding crop on my ass one time because i was being obstinate and didn't want to safe word out. i broke my partners trust. I allowed him to really damage me when that was not his intention. He can not know where my limits are if i am not communicating those to my him. that was a failure on my part. live and learn damage you? sounds like the whip got the worst end of it (pun intended)!

why do i feel like wayne and i are trying to kill you? remember soloing stuff in the cascades is about a lot more than the technical grade of the hardest pitch hard to have a less than amazing time in the picketts, even if it's just scrambling round and dig'n life...

cascade pass - do eldo, torment-forbidden, sahale, jo'burg bring a big bottle of liquor

somewhere in emyn muil, firsure...

is that frodo?

conditions look perfect for yocums!

w ridge or s face?

climbing 2morrow - maybe wendesday evening?

yeah, i noticed that - that route just seems to attract all of us losers

wackattack!

pretty much a perfect fit for a dude of that description - though he'll probably need to rap a real short section or two on the way back down (or i guess you could just lower him)

anyone wanna crag for any or all of the day anyday this week, preferably monday, tuesday or thursday?

how dare ye besmirch paton!

the .8 pitch oughta be dry by then - it just takes smallish nuts i recall - mostly the route is a 4th-low 5th simulclimb

anyone wanna crag locally in pdx this week?

nice climb - you really that afraid someone's gonna try to claim your pictures? sorta detracts from enjoying'em... the righthand variation of the route looks to have more mixed goodness to it than the left-one i did...good enough reason to go back for sure.

sounds like you wanna talk to john_frieh on the board here... the rocky butte crap-hole crag has some areas where dt'ing is permissible

just rewatched the 70's version of king-kong w/ her in it last night w/ her boobies hanging out all over the place - jeebus h christ she was hot as hell...30 years ago.

not a true asshole as he gets out off on a techicality - demonic possession, eh? mrs. flanagan in "annie" - there's a true to her guns beyotch!
