I think it was Colin Haley who remarked in a Stuart N Ridge TR a couple years back about watching snomobilers high marking on the Stuart Glacier, they came in over Goat Pass.

Oh! Heh, cool, you edited his words in your quote. That's so neat.

Maybe I'm just simple, but marriage works for me. December 28th was the date at which I'd spent half my life with the same woman, and our official 25th Schtupiversary is fast approaching. She's not a climber, though she occasionally goes climbing and is happy to come along and self-entertain on various cragging outings and road trips. What she likes about climbing is not the activity (fear of heights plays into that) but the fact that it takes you to really cool places. In turn, I've developed an appreciation for art galleries. I like the punk rock, she's more into the folk thing, so we meet in the middle: tonight it's Gogol Bordello in Portland. Like I say, call me simple, but my heart still skips a beat when I see her approaching across a room.

Bumping this thread, rather than having an additional one. She's still looking for climbing partners and appears to be a real person.

A gentlemen never mentions the lady's tire.

"Sexy Time" for seven pages and no video yet? Here you go, its a TV commercial, it's gotta be safeish for work... kHA9Ig7HOGA

You know, just a little play on words, free association, you never know what pops out. I'm not prejudiced or anything, some of my best friends are bald.

Rock!

I'm sure ya'll will understand if I move this thrill ride to Spray? Exactly! Kind of you to dress up like a windmill, folks need a little tilting exercise I guess.

You're just about bald, aren't you?

Joseph, the older generation has been complaining about the general decline and overall failings of the younger one at least since Plato. Properly interpreted, I bet there's a cave painting in France that expresses this as well.

There has been a law on the books protecting landowners from liability issues with recreational use of their property, and it had specific language amended to it regarding climbing a few years ago thanks to efforts by Andy Fitz and others. Who's the Access Fund rep in your area these days? I'm sure they could be a great asset in your negotiations.

Jesse attributes things this way because of his feelings and opinions, not necessarily any sort of objective study based in reality. It could just be that there are more people climbing. Trash, ropes, toilet paper, balls of tape (trad climbers!), and other dreck are nothing new. It could be something else, without any science involved we're just making up stories based on our beliefs, supported by selective observations that reinforce our biases. They've been having cleanups since forever. To say that it's the fault of gym climbers, many of whom have grown up with more environmental awareness than anyone who came of age in the 70's, is more about reinforcing one's higher opinion of oneself as compared to "those people" than anything else.

Funny, you don't hear much from George McGovern these days. I still think he'd have made a better president than what we wound up with.

I shook Jeff's hand at a trade show in Seattle in the early 80's, didn't wash that hand for a week. Jeff is a frequent poster on Supertopo these days, under the name Jello. His stories and threads are well worth seeking out there, great reading.

Yeah, I'd heard the dollar was slipping...

Pffft, he's a climber too

I clipped the hilarity from this post and sent it to Spray.

Don't be a tease, c'mon, dish!

It is sort of a sad legacy from the Amber scam that women who show up here have to prove their gender, pass some sort of madonna/whore test, and be immediately rugged enough to endure a hazing from strangers, as well as having Raindawg post that picture within three posts. Is HoneyBeeBug real? I dunno, what does it hurt to give someone the benefit of the doubt? Dariasus turned out to be real, even if she's crazy as a mad hatter. Most of the few women who post here have had to pass some sort of gauntlet as a newbie, and not everyone can look as stunning in a Nomex suit as Archie. Anyway, it just makes me sad to see everyone dogpile on any girl stupid enough to look for a climbing partner on this website.

Go here and make the player thingy play "where was moses when the lights went out"

My friend Pat parks his Honda Element in a parking lot in Ashland. He notices a homeless guy reclining in the shrubbery right next to his car, and the guy mumbles something to Pat. Pat moves closer and asks the guy what he said. Homeless guy repeats himself a little more clearly, "Dude, you're out of your element."
