Offer to go get him a coffee then drop a hit of blotter in it before you give it to him. He might actually be able to work then!! HA HA HA he couldn't be worse...

Get lost dru...

Can't swing it to max. impact speed...wouldn't be as satisfying...

Dru... This is a thread about how bad work sux...please repost your sasquatch thread somewhere else... I'm currently sitting in my cube looking across the hallway at some fuckbag who makes twice my salary and can't get shit done. This will then result in my coming in on the weekend to get his stuff done. I have a nice chunk of #6 rebar that would fit nicely somewhere!!!

work sucks...it just absolutely sucks worse than anything i can imagine...

ha ha ha... You got me...screw skillz, its all about speed!! W/ this weather, i was dreamin' about getting out, but that isn't likely...

FB is a punter wanna go to canada and crank at SquisH?

quote: Just read the linked story. It is utter horse shit. My buddy Joel and I were out there on that Friday night. We camped on top of the big flat boulder in the quarry that night (we rode a bus from Seattle and were camped at Index for the week). Pope, no comment on the validity of Smoot's story. The only reason i posted that was it mentioned Alan by name and thought that might be where Scottp got his erroneous facts from. Regarding alan, again, he wouldn't do that (grease the crack to stop a first ascent) and wasn't even in the state when it happened.

Greasy Story about City Park

quote: Reach into your pants and untwist your undies... I wasn't there, so I don't know anything more than I'm sure I read in one of the rags that it was Alan Watts. If you say it was the locals, I stand corrected. I'll undo my undies when you pull your thong out of yo' crack... Whatever...first off, it was todd skinner who spent off and on over a year trying to get that thing to beat alan to the punch...as it was, alan never did do an ascent but came very very close in just a weekend. Alan, at that time, was probably hands down the best crack climber in the country. I worked for alan in 1992 and got alot of this first hand, although its been awhile, and he's about the most honest person around and laughs because of how uptight the locals were that somebody could actually climb that hard, when he considered it as a possible onsight. He wound up cutting his finger bad enough to go home and never wound up back here. By the time it looked like todd was going to actually do that thing, the locals smeared grease in to stop him and Alan was long gone. Jeff Smoot had a decent writeup on the whole ascent of city park on his website a while ago.

Scottp What are you talking about? Alan Watts rubbing axle grease in the crack??????? It was the freaking stooge locals that couldn't handle out-o-towners f'ng up their world...

Hey DFA... Its only heinous cuz the stupid bolt is a foot or two below you w/ crunchy ledges to whack into...and hey, I said 11+ SLAB didn't I? Isn't that the definition of gross???

Dru... *approach* pitch to Time2Power is 5.6 w/ one .11+ slab move...for the full meal deal climb the whole thing from the ground...excellent route w/ a crux that is ezier if you're short and then fun jug hauling through the steep top...Its hard to believe the route doesn't get more action than it does...

Come on Trask...This is SERIOUS!! Ha i'm one step ahead of you...page 5 is around the corner vroom...

trask: I agree I think anna's more than whipped herself enough that there is no need for a dogpile. She'll be fine, though...that's my suspician...not knowing her, but rereading her initial posts, i think she knows what's up and will get a good base in one way or another via friends or, as Lambone suggested, professional instruction. My pop's an old air force pilot...so I can identify w/ her flying analogies as i heard them growing up. She'll get that checklist mentality going and there won't be any stopping her... SO, YOU WANNA RACE FOR ANOTHER PAGE TOP??? [ 11-01-2002, 01:53 PM: Message edited by: RuMR ]

Anna... as you said it "live and learn"...in the final analysis, you'll be a far better climber because this happened and you got a chance to walk away from it to come back w/ a bigger set of tools (not your partners, but your skillz ) I think just about every poster (including mr. chips) has done something stupid once or twice (and sometimes more) during their climbing career...and the fact that they are here to *critique* your experience that day is only because they got their share of good luck on a bad day... Good luck and if i bump into you in cognito at smith or somewhere else, i'll share a rope w/ you...

Lambone... I'm not sticking up for Chippy's lack of tact at all (ref. Gregw here)...but what i think what he's saying should be she had "no business being on the sharp end on that route" versus "no right ......" you know that you've seen some really really shitty stuff at the gym and said something to prevent an accident...being an experienced climber, you KNEW something wasn't right and it was your obligation to say something...face it, her partners are just as responsible (if she tied in w/ them) as her for her situation by virtue of the fact that they were experienced enough to know better... Mr. Chips could probably use a course on pc talking but i think his points are valid...except for the personal slam on you...I have seen you do exactly what he is saying, albeit in a "kinder, gentler" fashion.
