reinhold messner in the latest episode - a two page picture, sans podial digits tahnk you fro illiterate asshole to post!

probably a good weekend to dick 'round the n side of the mtn, but i wouldn't have my heart on the summit looking for someone to crag w/ at beacon on saturday if you can keep your ambitions closer to terra firma till the lords of hoar-frost have bequethed their bounty upon us

bottom line too - the chinese and tibetans will have to control their own destiny - wether by violent revolution or peaceful means, they will be the ones who effect change in their own government. buying non-china stuff when you can does at least make you feel a better - but it does little

can you please also post a picture of yourself in a lab coat? or maybe an action shot of a procto exam? (just the waist down mind, for confidentiality's sake)

small turnout this year - the crazy bongo thang was way bigger for sure - i drank for 10 and had a blast hanging out w/ pete, tyler, drew, dan, mike, ica, jens, kevin, timmay and quite a few others whose names i've learned many times and never succesfully remembered factors that made it small? a - good weather in the alpine b - all the cool kids are in washington and don't feel like driving so damn far c - no beer/centralized scene friday night d - wa rope up next week e - crowds ruin climbing (tuff-land was packed saturday but the gorge was sublime and sparsely populated sunday) fav route of the week - the mines of moria, what a fawking weird-o anomaly! in creaky dank darkness i got trapped under an immense, thin flake just below the chains that rocketed down the chimney when i tried to crawl under it narrowly missing decapitating layton and severing the rope - orc attack!

It is free!! nothing so nice as an ultra-girl telling you its free to recharge ye olde spank bank

don't forget ta bring yer puff-daddy and yer drinking glove!

Ivan is your girlfriend??!! i prefer the more platonic moniker "friend-girl"

i loom?

you don't come attached fer tuff-love fool! that'd be too easy - ye wait till 3 a.m. after all the girls are away w/ their strong men then you have sex w/ the deer carcass the 'necks so generously left :vomit: you need a ride gimme a pm - i'll splurge fer gas money to watch a peta-sized travesty

not the least among the surprise, oh-my-brothers, is that fox.news would be first to the punch w/ the story. now if i only i could remember where i put my bag 'fore i leave fer tuff-luv....

advice you can feel free to say fuck-all to: wait a month or 2 for your first hood climb - this is the shitiest time for a hood climb. you want to wait for some snow or at least some ice to form. you want to come to the smith tuff love fest and drink beer and climb hung-over and spew thought-hate at hot chicks who can climb 5 grades above you. hood is for the winter months. october is for high-octane beer and forgetable-sex amidst cow-skulls and quads.

smoking dope keeps you from forgetting stuff?

thouroughly disliked the kitty litter n' decrepit death blocks just below the fin - heart in throat when i nearly sent a 500 ton boulder down on my partner despite being careful - once on the cracks though it's butter - i dug the traverse - it's wierd putting in gear down by your feet as you walk along.

urine? sucks - i'm crazy allergic to that crap - grape sized blisters - yum, yum!

We didn't bring crampons, and the snow/glacier had the consistency of concrete I'd rather make the two rappels (good anchors/ no rope eating cracks) than carry crampons. word just saw those anchors on my last trip there this summer - definetly the way to fly from now on - from the actual summit you can just about spot the cairn mentioned above - basically by looking off int he direction of aasgard - only 20-30 yards away as i recall

what john said actually when i first moved out here pdx had a pretty active pub club thing happened but over the past two year's it's declined...too much dry-tool'n perhaps? personally i blame my offspring but now i'm always hot for an excuse to flee the scene, so long as the wife doesnt' try to subtract it from my alpine alotment

"fiasco" - in case you were looking for the precise ways in which the iraq war is fawked

from the pdx scene

Are you blind, I think so? It was not the point it went south, here is a reality check. I am a marked man on this BS site. It’s extremely bias. That’s ok, I can take. As long as you can take it. Remember, its only entertainment. kevbone, i knew d*n h*witt - i SAW d*n h*witt - you sir are no d*n-o!

"show me a good loser and i'll show you a loser" - vince lombardi "i am as bad as the worst, but thank god, i'm as good as the best" - walt whitman i doubt those two boys woulda had much to say to each other

climbed w/ miker this weekend - good guy if ya'll are looking for partners as he's currently unemployed - the pony-tail scores as a plus, but he looks kinda like a borg w/ the blue-tooth ear-phone thingey. keep moving to portland folks - done met a half-dozen cool cats in the past 6 months new to the scene

april 2005 - dru goes on holiday

the only solution

if they're very, very, very -intoxicated -spraytastic -aggresively anti-social -demented -blissfully nonchalant about basic safety procedures it's probably a "yup"
