Dru's right...just go climbing...sack up, throw lots of gear in and go for it...always put waaaaay more gear in at first, build mini-anchors if you will...as time goes on, your skill and the time to place stuff will increase...you gotta learn sometime and its a risky sport and if you can't accept that its part of the game, go take up golf... you hit the deck cuz you couldn't figure out how to get a piece in? Well, that's just removing a dumbass gene from the pool, imo...

he still does shoes even though he's in montana...go to the vw or mail them yourself...turnaround time is not bad at all...

CLIMBING'S PHARKIN' STOOPUD...pick another sport...

That is the youth these days...old concepts of "hard" don't apply... My kid thinks 5.11 is no big deal (it isn't) at 7...

...maybe...man, i miss plain ol' climbing...really really bad...its really bugging me to the point that i'm getting depressed (I know...lame), but i feel that patterns are being set...

sounds like maybe he has done a new year's solo of thermogenesis to slay his demons??

they are so scrawny i'd sneeze and they'd just waft away...

can we throw rotten veggies at you? maybe a squid carcass as well??

one less bag of cheetos a day'll do wonders...

kevbonin'pink...this thread is the perfect example of why people are hesitant to discuss their real climbing...its just turned into a giant pile of dog$hit...not that you are entirely to blame...pink shares some of it to...

mighty mite is a definite...he's stoked but needs to finish up with the skiing...only one month to go...

the laugher is that i try to not discuss my climbing trips on this site. Sure I talk/muse about wishful stuff in the future to do, but not actual climbing. The only time i talk about past climbing (in general) is over pm's... This site has too far of a spread of "climbers"...wannabe's, hasbeens, neverwere's, etc. etc. to have any kind of a real meaningful discussion about one's own climbing...

what inspires me right now? Watchin' my little folks getting that gleam in their eye about making an outing to index or wherever...driving by there on the way up to steven's the other day, my seven year old says "Man, i can't wait until its sunny and warm out and it gets dark at 9...i wanna go to index...hey, you wanna stop and just go look at the walls?" all of the sudden i'm dreaming about summer weekend cragging and after work craggin...gym sucks it...

there's a local cougar at index these days...a poster here has had regular encounters with it...she carries a gun now... My kids are always in eyesight with at least two adults present... so...when you taking the mighty mite out????

dude! We are so up for multiple trips to squamish this summer, both bouldering and cragging with the mitey mights!

NEW APPROACH VEHICLE

i dunno if that's a good thing...i think he's related to those retarted twins pinky and kevbeenboned...

trimspa baby!

you canuckies are just jealous...

not only are they vicious, they are thieving punks!

ahhh you'd prolly kick my ass on rock too...f-ing winter...damn white shiznet everywhere...

anytime you wanna go running or climbing, shoot me a pm... your display at smith was uhmmm, aweinspiring...hahahaha go mounties!!!!!

craigslist??

I fill a 28 oz, bicycle-style bottle at the gym. I usually go through 1.5 to 2 bottles full in a 1-hr workout. So, YES, I'll take your bet! At my gym there is almost never a line for the fountain, though. Plus, I bet you consume person-minutes at the fountain filling a water bottle, than if you have to repeatedly return to sip. most of the people I see doing it haven't broken a sweat, and don't look like they are about to I hop on the stairmaster or elliptic regularly for 1 hour workouts with no break and only drink once at the fountain afterwards, so you lose your bet about the repeated "sips" you're so badass...you should consider applying to GYMJONES they might even let you off the porch!

fuck you guys and your fucking free lifestyle do what you want have a great time climb until its no fun anymore free lifestyle ... i hope you get some tendonitis headed your way via the karma train, beyotch! all that said, nice tr..i'm jealous...you're still a bitch for leaving the PNW...
