the more appropriate approach to this dilemma may involve some pre-climb retraction instruction if its a newbie, otherwise place the cam correctly, if you blow it on the lead, can't really say much 'cept give it youre best shot, then maybe lower down yourself, and work on YOUR CAM. if there is the chance of a newbie getting my shit stuck, i'll make sure they know the program, and i'll do my best to make it easy for them as they learn the intricacies of gear removal. but sometimes shit happens, and you gotta weigh the price of a peice of gear over safty, and frienships/partnerships. use tact-bp

and beers... come on people help a brutha out... -bp

yes! bjork covers... sounds good dood! you comin down for theSAM show? ya better...-k

i belive its FREE!!!!!... goodtimes-bp

as some of you may know i'm livin and workin at stevens pass, and tomorrow nite i need to be in seattle at 5:00 i was interested if anyone would wanna come up and enjoy some of the wonderful new sno we've been receiving for free in exchange for a ride into seattle? i can hook-up the ticket in exchange fer a ride down to seattle lemme kno...-bp

that sounds like as cool link-up tho you'd prolly have more fun 3rd classing..? i've thought that'd be a fun day... posta tr and pics-bp

gaston... thanx for the info! i'll be looking and researchin a bunch about where to go and alot of that will be determined by the folks i partner up with, and alot of other variables, but any suggestions on routes to look into would be greatly appreciated tia-bp

sweet! -bp

that show monday nite was soooooooo goooood... if y'all ever hear of a band you like playing the LoFi checkit- the place is cool... only a few beers on tap tho, but they gots san pelligrino araciata! yuuumm... and no smoke inside hope to see some folks at the SAM show on thursday... will be sumptin' special and scott, sounds good dood, and we shall hit the climbing thing up again, no? paisano?burgundy day was fun!-k

on a similar note, the syncopated taint septet featuring all the players i listed above, will play an all ages show, with a bar as well, at SAM (seattle art museum) thursday feb19 5:30-7:30, great venue, great group...check it out -bp oh and i read a thread somewhere about pub clubs needing some variety, if youre all not opposed to music playing while youre all trying to spray about climbing,"tost" in freemont is a great venue-no smoking inside, good sound good bar and jude bowerman plays real upbeat dancy groovy stuff down der on tuesdays-my2cents-bp

i may sound like a broken record always posting about music happ'inin, but folks always come out and have a good time so 'ere goes... monday nite at the Lo-Fi, eastlake east right near the lobo saloon... an evening of some of seattles best jazz musicians including, but not limited to; joe doria(hammond b3) john wicks(drums) this is johns birthday! also the syncopated taint horns, SKERIK, dave carter,hans toyber, craig flory, steve moore...may very well show up too! if ya never heard these guys, and like live music, you'll be blown away, whether you like jazz or not. they fit in their own category- an amazing septet. -bp

also i'm interested in any ideas any of you might have on places that shouldn't be missed... i like it all, and have yet to go to europe, so lemme know tia-bp

this is the best advice youre gonna find... i have the blu kauks too and they are real good and comfy...i also like the mythos, but as wallstein says they wear out quicky. techniq is the answer, and i find that focusing on the climbing helps me avoid focusing on the pain, or falling, or being scuurrrd, or anything negative like that. have fun-bp

kid koala should be pretty ill... -bp

sweet... thanx rudy! those folks would be cu to kickit with. -k

will do... i wanna do some alpine rock... american direct, on le petit dru. but would be up for all sorts of things-k

anyone gonna be in france, around the 12th of june? i'm prolly heading to the south of france for a week with family, then wanted to get out for a couple more weeks at least and climb! this is still kinda up in the air but waas wondering if anyone from here might be there around that time... lemme know.-bp

yeah arayas good... they take care of me over at TT sooo..., cool we'll see ya therrrr -bp

would lov ta' tho i'm at the pass still about to get off work... then travelling west... hittin thai tom wit kens around 7:30 or so... the boat pre-funk, then off to mars! should be good times : -bp

ummmmmm..... thai toms for dinnns..... ummmmm... so ken4 os in... who else wants to out tonite? well be around @ like 9:30 -bp

is that theres some goos musicians, including the one and only-Joe Doria(hammondb3), gathering tonite as they do every thurs nite at the mars bar... eastlake east, north of rei, free and the dude behind the bar pours like triples of makers rox for $5... not a bad way to spend sometime in the city -bp

wow ... i like to start off the day trying to look like an idiot, and feel stupid in assuming the negative, just so i can see steady improvement throughout the day , and this gives me somethin to try and figure out that otherwise i prolly would never have thought to... man i'm ripped! purps off to work!-bp

well its a couple diff computers... but as i said earlier, i'm lost if its a computr thing-bp

cool ken... its wednesday right? BR? or theres a certain 40th anniversary special on t.v. tonite that sounds kinda good...and for me t.v. now and again can be a good thing-bp
