I'm not to sure about duct tape either, climbing tape now that's another question. I use that for everything from after climbing bandages and wrist/ankle wraps to taping up a tear in the leather on my truck seat. its pretty sweet to see a big ass chuck of white against the leather, it too can leave a little res-e-due when you take it off.

yeah we were up there last weekend too. we made camp about 8,000ft, no crowds there, plenty of water from run off streams as well. last water is at lunch counter. trail is good but crap. if there is snow anywhere it would probably be a nicer climb, but the trail up is nice. a few peeps. we didn't summit due to the lovely weather that socked in, but when i go back - i'm camping at cold springs and just getting up early to make a run for the summit. seems so much easier that way.

yet another fun fulled day @cc.com you guys freaking crack me up

once again i'm afraid i asked... but i'm willing to see the results, this shit cracks me up. creative climbing minds want to know.

Catagories

So if cc.com was to start a dating service how would it work? what would be the catagories?

i have acouple good friends that are black and they from time to time go skiing, but even then they say its just too damn cold. but they are usually cold when its sunny outside, i'm wondering if its in their blood - just thinking if us pastey white folks like the snow because we blend into it so well. . . . . . . . . . . . and be a little more cold blooded. i don't know... but definately a question i've asked as well.

quote: The Doctor had a friend a while back (those were the days ...) who had done some guiding, and this fellow was recounting stories of having to tie boot laces for people and make sure they were putting on sunscreen and lip balm and shit. Basically babysitting people who hadn't a clue about what they were doing up there. Isn't that what you want to get paid for? teaching some people some skills so they will either take up the sport and quit complaining or get the hell off the mountain and make room for others. I'm all in favor of education.......all those that go out there and get lost, hurt or die seem to be the majority of those that don't know anything, so teachem a little something and make acouple dollars as well as maybe some new friends. just think what would have happened if someone didn't teach you/us a few things?........ hummmm i'm begining to sound like my mom - sup wit dat?

hey i too agree with erik... the only thing holding you back is yourself. there are so many peeps out there that would love to explore the outdoors and get to the hills but lack a few skills and confidence. i think there are many things that one could teach without going totally gughoe extreme, stay low key to start and work your way up as you gain confidence in teaching/leading. good luck - and check your pm's.

so Greg, since you're living in Sultan and all, I have to ask... is that your sweet primer chick magnet of a car with the blower off the hood, your car that you are trying to sell? because someone said he wanted to buy it from ya. that thing is pretty sweet.

I just had to share, thought these were halarious, nothing to do with climbing but i'm sure some of you could add a few. 1. CURL UP AND DIE........I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, "How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?" - Melinda Lowe, 39,Seguin TX 2. PAD PLEASE.......... An insurance man visited me at home to talk about our mortgage insurance. He was throwing a lot of facts and figures at me, and I wanted to follow as best I could, so I told my 6-year-old son to run and get me a pad. He came back and handed me a Kotex right in front of our guest. - Kate Newman, 46, Winston-Salem, NC 3. HO, HO, HO............. I was taking a shower when my 2-year old son came into the bathroom and wrapped himself in toilet paper. Although he made a mess, he looked adorable, so I ran for my camera and took a few shots. They came out so well that I had copies made and included one with each of our Christmas cards. Days later, a relative called about the picture, laughing hysterically, and suggesting I take a closer look. Puzzled, I stared at the photo and was shocked to discover that in addition to my son, I had captured my reflection in the mirror wearing nothing but a camera! - Name Withheld 4. LADY GOLFER................ I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, "I think I like playing with men's balls." - Colleen Collins, 31, Ferndale, MI 5. NUTS ABOUT YOU............My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts." My sister started to laugh hysterically, the boy grinned, I turned beet red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget. - Faye Emerick Ellerslie, MD,34 6. PRICELESS.............A lady picked up several items at a discount store. When she finally got up to the checker, she learned that one of her items had no price tag. Imagine her embarrassment when the checker got on the intercom and boomed out for all the store to hear,"PRICE CHECK ON LANE THIRTEEN, TAMPAX, SUPER SIZE." That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear of the store apparently misunderstood the word "Tampax" for "THUMBTACKS." In a business-like tone, a voice boomed back over the intercom. "DO YOU WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH A HAMMER?" - Name withheld 7. MOM'S ADVICE......... A teacher noticed that a little boy at the back of the class was squirming around, scratching his crotch and not paying attention. She went back to find out what was going on. He was quite embarrassed and whispered that he had just recently been circumcised and he was quite itchy. The teacher told him to go down to the principal's office. He was to phone his mother and ask her what he should do about it. He did it and returned to his class. Suddenly, there was a commotion at the back of the room. She went back to investigate only to find him sitting at his desk with his "unmentionable" hanging out. "I thought I told you to call your Mom." she screamed. "I did," the boy said, "And she told me that if I could stick it out till noon, she'd come and pick me up from school.

humm... did you just take a jab at me? ... for i am most definately a chick... well i am today anyway.

yeah but, if you put holes in your thermarest you're screwed for a sleepin pad. or is that something else... i have a z-rest so that wouln't work... next!

sorry i asked.

SK no tarp... but she is a beauty! a real looker. and SORRY ERIK... i made the call first!

i'm telling ya, i'll give you 5 bucks for that thing, seems like a pretty smooth ride. MAN i can't wait!

hey Trask thanks for the crampon placement advice i was actually just thinking about that, doing my pre-climb pack fit at this very moment... have to ask though... since you are such the climber, do you use the pack for all your video equipment or what?

trask?

spicy beef baby all the way! all i have to say is 10 for a buck, THAT's what i'm talkin about!

yeah then go over to drews' (mr jones that is) and check his out, he only has about 5 holds on it. but damn the wall is there. there are some killer places to cram your foot in and hang upside down though. sorry drew baby,you have the killer set up though. the best part about his place is that he gets to work and climb at the same freaking time. damn him.

hey i don't have a shit job! but really, Trask don't you know that the things climbers get out of bed for is climbing. well other than to get another beer sometimes and food. michael my dear, try working at a sports/climbing/outdoor rec (not REI, go smaller) type shop. flexy hours, everyone there climbs, skis, rides, or does something of the nature. plus you get great deals on gear, which is usually ones #1 focus. you might have to share work on a weekend now and then but hell... you'll get free tickets, passes to lots of places, bennies and exposure to other options within the industry are endless. you just need to know your shitz. does that help any.

my 2 cents.... so i got the "Arcteryx Khamisn 38" special with the pretty dark blue panels on the side and the black and checkered material, whatever! ... i like it. no foam on waist, way light, comfy comfy fit. i use it for everything now. plenty of room for skis, axes, gear... but still a smaller pack. not sure about crampons, no place for those... i'm sure i'll be figuring it out soon though, i plan on using it on adams next weekend. and no there are no bows on it.

and just think when you get hungry....... you got grub right there. my only question is where do you keep the beer, and do bottle caps work for texture?

AHH! you guys! i had no idea it was gonna go this far, damn funny though. sorry bout dat!

how bout that... does that make you feel better? i'm gonna go do some work now, you boys have a nice day.
