If your definition of old begins at 50, there's a stack of people here who are either almost there or a little over the line. Myself included, though I'll have to wait until July to qualify. As an aside, that's a nice signature modification Bug, but I've read some of your stories, and it sounds like you've always been skanky. Not that that's a bad thing...

I kind of think you're already a member of my church. The song comes from Fish Karma, "God is a Groovy Guy" and the whole thing is flat out brilliant. That old testament God is right nasty bastard.

He'll visit you with locusts He'll visit you with plague He'll visit your apartment Kill your cat and break your leg Cuz God is a groovy guy Uh-huh, get down

Hard to find anyplace that's a sure thing, but San Diego is perhaps more likely than other places. The fires are out, and from what I've seen, having that undergrowth burnt out around parts of Woodson has made all kinds of things readily accessible. For longer/multi pitch things, El Cajon Mountain, Eagle Peak, and Corte Madera are good possibilities. Canon Tajo will likely be cold, they don't call it Poor Man's Patagonia for nothing. If you're considering San Diego, PM me and I'll blabber at you some more. Cochise can be great, or can be cold. As a back up, something will be the right temperature on Mt Lemmon, but the lower on the hill, the funkier the rock. Red Rocks and JT can be good, but they can also be cold. Hueco, but it's really about the pebble wrestling, and the modern business about having a guide is a real turn off.

Makes me think of the old quip "see you later" "not if I see you first" Was that the rope up where you offered to show up and bust some heads? Maybe that was Retrosaurus, I dunno, even recent history gets fuzzy sometimes. Next time say hi, ya big lug, I would enjoy meeting you. Similarly, I think I've seen Archie, but introductions were not made. Have to rectify that sometime.

Just to shut the little bugger up, I'll explicitly state that I'd like to meet Rudy. You should come climbing in Tenino some time. Other names not mentioned yet that are on my wish list: Pope, Chirp, Avitrip, Joseph Healy, Kevbone, Pink, Rad, Sobo, Iluka, Don Serl, Harry Majors, Lowell Skoog, Sol, Choada Boy, DBerdinka, Pindude, Freeman, Blake, Markmckillop, Zimzam, and others. I've still never met Serenity-of-the-many-avatars, but that's bound to happen sometime. I think I'd take a pass on arc/crampon/divot/icefall (he wanted to come cragging in Tenino ) and that wacky speed climbing fraud with the dog.

Sucking up will do you no good with the Uberator.

Psst! Mister! Wanna buy an ice screw?

Naw, Al's worth the price of admission, if for no other reason than that fact that he makes the tighty-righties blow a gasket.

The real question is the relationship between JayB and J_B

Naw, I think the speculation was that KK=Martlet. It's actually far more harmful that many assume any_new_female_poster=troll. btw, JayB and DeChristo are very much distinct individuals.

I keep thinking it's something in the Three Fingers area, Salish maybe? Sure is pretty.

My power was out for six whole hours, but none of the TV stations interviewed me.

Oh hold on a minute, you're positing that Ireland is a first world country? Boy, talk about questionable statistics!

Oh, that one's been done many times on this board.

Are you saying that you want all the rights of a vehicle without any of the obligations?

Can you post that picture of me on the summit of Storm King for the 16th time for me? It just gets funnier with every repetition. Oh wait, I forgot. You've got me on ignore. Sorry, I think you mean Fairweather...

Pedestrians rule.

Oh dear, gentle reader, what harsh talk you bring into the Cafe!

Sorry, I've met her. Ruth is an Edmonton ex-pat. So, OW, since you've met her, can you say she's hawt? If so, you can clear my (apparently) tarnished image for thinking she has big lats. Oh, them are muffintop lats for sure, but she's lost a fair bit of weight since leaving Edmonton and she's headed in the right direction. She's plenty hawt, unless you're deeply smitten with the Kate Moss archetype.

I believe the Death Couloir is actually the mellower looking one on the right. The Supertaco discussion is a little hard to follow, but I think they're all talking about the right couloir, and one fellow refers to the left as looking like it would take aid on awful rock to access it. That photo is supposedly unbelievably fat conditions, and it seldom looks that good. If you do it, it's mandatory that you post a Twight style TR.

link to supertopo thread Here's some info on the Death Couloir, but if you're going to drive that far, this is not the peak you want. The big rock buttress is also notoriously loose and nasty. I think it's some sort metamorphosed limestone, and some of the oldest rock in the Sierras.

Although I am generally opposed to violence, i would happily shove a large caliber gun up your butt, and pull the trigger, if it would only shut you up. You know Dru, this sort of post isn't really your style. I was going to chastise you for threatening even ludicrous and unlikely violence, but then I read the preceding posts and decided I should give you a thumbs up instead.

Sorry, I've met her. Ruth is an Edmonton ex-pat.

I just didn't want anyone to miss the graphic that goes with this statement.
