I love it when the prez visits. I was rattled awake this morning by a blackhawk helicopter about 100 feet above my apartment scoping I-84 for evil doers. Charming!

Glad to see someone else thought that one on the right was a little runout Are you talking about License to Bolt? That's 5.11 on the left of Phoenix. [ 08-23-2002, 10:43 AM: Message edited by: iain ]

Phoenix, .10, bolts the one right next to Phoenix on the right, .10, bolts fun but painful rock over there on the buttress. maybe you've done these already.

One listen to GWB's speech on forest planning yesterday should encourage any foreign power to invade us immediately. He has the dialect (and apparently the abstract reasoning) of a 4 year old and he does not inspire my trust, at least. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't automatically assume people are Clinton supporters just because they consider GWB an incompetent fool. However, I'd take him any day over our current cabinet. I cringe every time I think of him representing me internationally.

yes sorry I was mistaken. [ 08-22-2002, 03:52 PM: Message edited by: iain ]

yeah good idea to leave puncture items intact in general unless hypothermia or other obvious risk is present. pulling that thing out of the knee could have caused very severe damage.

Yes we do:

I think the expression is "my two cents" unless you weigh your opinions 10x as much as the rest of us. Anyways, bad news.

Considering the USFS misspending of intended fire prevention funds in California, damn right I'll have a kneejerk rxn to this news! I think we are all also aware of the salvage logging games that have been played in the past.

Sounds friendly.

WTF are you talking about? GW has his finger on the pulse of Oregon's timber issues and Gale Norton will spare us from the constant threat of the doug fir weed! Texans are well-known for their adept forest land management policies. I can't wait until he leaves.

I don't identify fish fans as hippies at all, though I'm sure many catch their show as they pass through. Phish has nothing to do with the classic eugene scene and I'm glad. I never said they were bad, I just think it's sad that people plan each NYE around a show. Makes them look like a Billy Graham deal w/ that kind of devotion.

They should make pants w/ climbing skin material attached so that self arrest is easier! Ice axe in knee = bad - many moving parts in there.

Dude's damn lucky! How many more glissading incidents are there going to be??? There's like 3 a year on Hood alone.

Agreed DFA. Ready for some new tunes at PRG. You probably tear it up at that place. Me, I'm pretty weak on the boulder stuff. Having a good time though. Lambone - I was referring to the phans. One viewing of VH1's behind the music or any of their 10 other similar shows is reason enough for me to discount all music critics' opinions! How do you become a music critic anyways? Seems kindof a strange profession.

Didn't the PJ warn you about touching the helo before they grounded the CH-47 w/ the jungle penetrator?

You can dis Trey's work, but until you come up with something as original and creative, your words are like thin air. Well there we have a fine example of what I was talking about. I'm also particularly glad to see the term "dis" in written form now. And the old "can't rip on 5.13'rs if you only climb 5.10" reasoning is being hashed out in a different thread. I'm just bored at work causing trouble, but I stand by my words! Phish - overrated! The only thing good about Phish concerts are the chicks! You've been assimilated by the golgi apparatus. -Iain

Heard the same crap about the Dead (who I enjoy). Oh, how I wish I lived in Gamehenge! Trey your thesis was so brillant! Spare me. quote: Face it Iain, you just don't like dirty hippies. Your right, that's why I went to the fair in high/jr high school and quit going when they turned into a shitty toned down "music festival" where the usual phishies start making an appearance w/ their TNF wardrobe and nalgene bottles w/ stickers all 'round. Lock up the hippies I say, an if I catch you in birkies I'll whip your ass! Now I'm off to travel with Wilson.

their latest catalog has some hilarious camping pics in it. Dudes pitching a tent on the beach about 3 feet from the surf? looks like a fun night!
