my almost 9 year old is doing better and better with the lowering. Mt 6 yr old is pretty fearless. they both love to go climbing even when it means they play with stick and build mud forts while i climbChrisT-i think mine's safer with a rope and a harness compared to some of the dumbe stuff he does at home!
sadly, he prefers to boulder. That whole business of lowering off the climb is just too damn scary. he's a helluva boulderer though. thinking about getting him a crash pad for his birthday 
good not so clean family fun

Badvoodoo and i just might be there. we can't leave until way late friday or early saterday though... hung over and ready to roll we will seeyou fuckers at the sunspot

i am not sure i agree with the statement but i know that i feel it. especialy now on my own. Climbing though i still love it, is less important and i am way less balls out. the fact of the matter is my babbies need me more than i need to climb. so i am more careful and less badass then i want to be. they always come first in my mind and my heartI just read a good article in climbing that was published right after Alisone Hargreaves died on K2. Interesting read. She actually thought it was more irresponsible for women with kids to climb, because she thought women are more important to kids then men are. -
i am in no way a hard woman. but i have to agree here. i like women and all, but this kinda shit just pisses me off. if she were just out there saying "this is what i experienced" i would be interested.Cross-posting to Spray....I think one of Bob's points with reference to Wanda whatshername is that the very kind of women who are inclined to do this sort of thing are probably the most likely to recoil at the notion that "achievement X" is automatically more impressive when it has been accomplished by a woman, and consider such thinking more patronizing and retrograde than anything in Bob's post. Perhaps in these women's case being amongst the first women to do so presented them with special challenges that are worth recording, and somehow elevate their ascents to a significance beyond that endowed upon the dozens of male ascents - but I personally think that once the pioneering era has passed - which it has, IMO - then this sort of reportage can easily stray into something like the gender equivalent of Special Olympics coverage. "She climbed X - and ----gasp!---- she's a woman!"
The person I did most of my trad climbing with in Colorado was a woman, and she - not I - was the sort of person who wouldn't blink at linking up a couple of Grade V's on The Diamond car-to-car and rolling into work on a couple of hours sleep in the morning and --- this sort of isn't-it-amazing-because-she's-a-woman stuff absolutely made her want to puke.

trail maintnece is a good thing, do you know if they are working with the Smith Rock Group on any of this???definately i think there are some good things in the document regarding climbers/access, but i feel folks that use these places need to be aware of what the land management agencies are planning and doing.interesting how they still outline all of the options, yet this is a final document.
i think anyone that has been out to the marsupials would agree that some trail work is needed to prevent further de-vegiation and erosion.

everyone sucks.. thats why it's funthe correct term would be to lose consciousness as a defense mechanism to avoid the auditory insult

now that is an absolutely perfect respons to an angry upset customerThis is how I would have replied. I have made up some details for clarity.Dear (name deleted),
Hey, sorry to hear of your frustration. A couple of things might need clarifying here, so let me got to that first. First of all, the Climbing Club does not have XC boots available for rent, as stated in the XXXX. We’ll be adding this to the price list in the brochure and on the blackboard outside the gear room that lists the rental prices.
Mike was in the Gear Room for his regularly scheduled shift on Wednesday. I dropped by and chatted with him myself. If you missed him, he may have stepped out to attend one of our mandatory safety meetings.
Sandi is in the IMA at the climbing wall, which might explain why you couldn’t find it her in the HUB. I can’t be sure if we gave you the wrong information or if you perhaps went to the wrong spot by mistake. If you need anything from her in the future, she is there on Monday and Wednesdays from 3-5.
As far as a refund, it’s possible, but will take 4-6 years to process. This is due to being part of a large beauracracy (the University) and is completely out of my hands. The UW Climbing Club has much to offer and I hope you will look into our programs before proceeding with your refund request.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you at our Exotic Meat Cookout and Jello Potluck this coming Sunday at the outdoor climbing wall. We’ll be firing up the grill at about 4 pm if it’s not raining.
Sincerely,
Gary Yngve

leading in the gym sucks. It is not like leading outside at all.
-
we have those here in EugeneI was out at UBC yesterday and nearly the first thing I saw was a chica wearing a miniskirt and fur-trimmed knee high boots walking around in freezing weather.
those booots are so ugly
-
this doesn't look like a bad thing at first glance. it is important with heavily used areas to manage resorces
Personaly, I like that it is a long hike to the marcupials... keeps the turists away.

LOLI decided to reply to this email nicely, even though it was damn tempting to do so otherwise (one of the annoying duties of the Climbing Club president).So I'd like to see what replies yall could come up with.

Mike was at the Gear Room Wednesday and Thursday 4-6 PM. He's paid to be
there, and I saw him there.
Sandi is at the IMA, not at the HUB.
We don't rent out Cross Country boots. We never claim to rent out
Cross-Country boots.
When you can calm down and talk to me politely and respectfully,
I'll give you your money back.
Please re-read what you wrote. It's quite rude, and I don't deserve to
be treated like that.

that is not rude. frustrated, but nothing compared to what i hear
when someone calls you a whore and tells you that the only use you are to a company is to fuck the exectutives... that is rude. and that has happend to me. I have worked telephone customer service for over a year now. and i have heard things that would make Trask blush. and i have to smile and continue to be polite to the people who scream at me
good luck. -
if you want girls to swoon over you singing.... anything by Van MorrisonSang "Baba O'Reily" like a rockstar. That wasn't an easy song either. 1st time doing it, gotta do some Kareoke spray!Going again soon,

"Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" was on my mind (flaming lips song)
start with Brown Eyed Girl
