sk

Hey daisy, I think I have warned you enough. If you DON"T STOP HITTING ON THE MARRIED MEN ON THIS SITE you and I will come to have it out once and for all.... you little ho you

Specialed RULEZ if I have never met cascade Joe, and he doesn't want to know me... why should I care??? I hope who ever you are talking about, gets out has fun and climbs safe... But that doesn't mean I HAVE TO WANT TO BE LIKE HIM I am cascade SK and all my skills suck, But I am having a WONDERFUL time

I had no interest or experiance in the outdoors before I discoverd climbing. Although A WOMAN taught me to climb, and it was so not about meeting men. I guess it could be possible that she wants to make a change in her life for the better. If not, she will cure herself. Climbing is a an activity that takes alot of work and dedication, most especaily for those of us not athleticly inclined. It is sort of a life style, and has to be a priority if you are serious about it. Let the situation play it's self out. I taught my sister in law to climb, and it only last 3 months. YOU HAVE TO REALY WANT TO CLIMB, to climb. If she isn't over it by early spring, take her crack climbing. It takes a specail woman to WANT that kind of pain and blood and scaring

I guess that what we get thinking you guys realy notice us (snif) It IS GOOD TO BE ME

Something is really, really weird and wrong here this afternoon. Anyone else notice that something seems not as it usually is?

No, I think it's nice you had a special place to go and chestbeat with your other nerdy friends---Matt and Diana being the exception there.

Of course I do, I always get into the Bub Club mix!

Maybe the next time MattP has a party you will get invited and then you can hear about Kurt's recent ski trip.

Tex is in denial about the excellence of the FRESHIEZZZZ experience.

Ummm, Alpine K, get over your bad attitude and get with the program. Dexter and Hayes is the place this week. We can go to your the Montlake place another time. No strongarming! And Dwayner, we all find your obesssion with IG a little creepy, to say the very least.

dating advise from the sage SK... always date a woman who realy likes to do at least SOME of the samethings you enjoy

I guess that realy depends on what girl you are dating

that may be true

I will have you all know that I think alot of stuff... just not, perhaps, what some man may think I aught to be thinking about

Personaly I realy like ALOT of the trip reports. it gives me a chance to read about things that I think I might like to do some day maybe. I especialy like the ones with pictures of cute boys in the snow don't let others dictate your behavior. Do what you feel good about. If you enjoy writng TR's then do it

thank you fern

I think that route finding in the gum is easy, and makes you totaly lazy Most climbs have a general flow and if you can "see" the flow you can move woth it. I usualy try to take a moment to relax at the begining of a climb. I focus myself before I begin. Yes it is hippy dippy bullshit, but it works for me. Then I look for the first few moves and find a good place to rest. At the rest I check out the next part of the climb. So in essance I go Like this: relax focus scope route find firts rest begin to climb While you are climbing try and stay as calm and breath as smoothly as you can. The more over exhilerated you get, the more pumpped out you get. It is a waste of energy, and your best bet is to conserve as much enrgy as you can. as you are looking for each placement... look wide (like the whole area) and then focus in on the placement you want. Watch your foot or hand go all the way into the placement and then leave it there. One limb at a time, one move at a time. There is no rush

Ditto. I rarely spray out side of spray, and try to contribute when I can

A prime example of the nonsense that gets posted and clutters up the poor bastard trying to get good information. Keep it in spray. BITE WE wanker... I was realy trying to help the poor guy out BTW werd specialed

here's a sugestion "Slow down you move to fast, got to make the morning last... "

so true

that should be in spray though

dude, just scroll down. Learn to skim.... it is easy realy

I think you hit the nail on the head with that one JayB.
