Sounds like Fairweather's plan to get even with this rotten website.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Funny they put the report in the CAJ, they're both Olympia folks.

Isn't that the same as "de-gloving"? I've heard the phrase "ring avulsion" used to describe that injury that happens when your ring catches on something. Gack, if that happened to you, it's horrific, say it isn't so!

It's all just dreck ripped off from the net bucko. To paraphrase your friend: Hey pal, you don't know me, my habits, or my history, so don't be so quick throwing stones from your glass house. I was talking to you, not Dwayner, and while you're free to be insulting, I am too.

Oh my, you dream big! Vandalism would just be some routine hammer smashing and chisel doodling, you're proposing International Terrorism! Golly, good to know you have a little black book of projects, everyone needs a hobby!

Inept but sincere elder seeks talented impressionable youth for self-righteous vandalism spree. Best if you lead, I belay well. image of Dwayner in real life removed at his request, as he does not want what he says on line linked to who he is in the real world.

Dear Ascensionist: There's a new Internet based climbers' resource-Ascensionist.com. An alternative to other climbing Bulletin Board Systems (e.g., cc.com, etc.); less bickering and BS; more talk of climbing. You've received this e-mail because I've hand selected you to participate in Ascensionist.com. Please help the popularity and usefulness of the site by registering a username and posting trip reports, conditions, and discussion of all things climbing (access issues, etc.). Naturally, with any new BBS, Ascensionist.com will initially lack content, but with your help this will change. I believe it's time for a better climbers' resource; a resource where climbers don't have to wade through 10 pages of non non sequiturs and useless posts to get to information related to climbing; and a place where people aren't censored or banned for expressing climbing views and opinions that aren't mainstream. Ascensionist.com isn't yet perfected by any means; as the site's popularity increases, and as I receive user feedback, I will change the site (whether by adding categories, or by implementing greater functionality), to best suit its users. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and please visit: Ascensionit.com! Thanks, The Ascensionist P.S. Please invite anyone you know who can contribute positively to register a username.

As a drive, Josh (or Red Rocks) is pretty much grade V-, and most parties will bivy. For my ability, Bishop is pretty much the limit as a grade IV: strong parties can do it in a day but some may bivouac. Cochise, several hours past Tucson, bumps things pretty well up into grade VI, and all but the most driven will spend two nights on the route. One day ascents will require a jet aircraft, which as an old school type I would consider ethically tainted and not a valid road trip.

You are so unjustifiably harsh and cruel Commander, I'm sure most Nols course participants are fully pubesecent.

I'd sell you my wood shafted axe, but then what would I use?

Dru is a white rasta boy who drapes his house in prayer flags?

Jay, I assume you give it the thumbs up because lines like "The fact is that the Iraqis have suffered during the past two years more than any people on earth at the hands of the American gestapo" make us peacenik lefties look like ignorant yahoos? Seems to me that those most disenfranchised by the election are the same general population group who have supported those who have tried to screw up the election. A theocratic regime that supports only one extreme viewpoint is not desirable or good for any country. That's why I've opposed Bush, and why I don't support the assorted violent Sunni groups. A brief spin through their forum suggests that ShinerTX is a minority voice over there anyway.

They funny thing is, the process is so all consuming you don't really even notice the abrasion until you'e all done, the need to stay in overrides most other concerns. I've often thought, only half in jest, that there's nothing harder than a 5.10 offwidth, except for a 5.9 offwidth. How can any activity that moves so slowly be so aerobic?

I don't see how the musings of a scrambler have much relevance. Rob's a good man, I'm glad he's okay.

Hi Lummie. Post pictures, I liked that fishing in Mexico report of yours from awhile back.

Yeah, but every time I get ready to gripe about it he turns up something really great, so I just stfu.

Ahhh Poppet, doesn't it tickle when Dwayner sticks his hand up there?

That's priceless, how did I miss the summitpost bit the first time around? I think the 2% guy is one of the better trollers I've seen, this is in the same league as the Sweet Granite In Renton bit.

He prolly just wants all of Mike's harem for his own. Hey Doc, you wouldn't wear a shirt that said "douchebag" on it? Damn, you're getting all mature and conservative in your old age. I guess Joe Strummer was right, "Every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world, ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl."

You should reply that you have trademarked "Doug" and request that he either cease and desist or forward all income he has made using your trademarked intellectual property. Better yet, tell him he should present his case here, and we will provide third party mediation. You know, you might actually make money with a "Doug is a Douchebag" tee shirt.

Actually Dru, wouldn't that be Culbert 4th class?

Ask Snowbyrd, she was supposed to be helping him with the project.

I think he spends more time on Ascensionist these days Jay, you just haven't been holding the conservative banner up in an inflammatory manner lately, you prick. While that last bit may have been totally uncalled for, I just wanted to illustrate your point.

C'mon Squiddy, what we really want is a picture from right after that incident with the rope and your teeth!

I figured something like that, that's why I enjoy trotting out that old fart back-in-the-day bullshit, just about my only claim to fame. I'm looking forward to when I can achieve the status of "Oh look, it's so cute, he's so old but he still tries to climb!" Fred tells me the chicks really dig that jive.
