Dr_Flash_Amazing

Maybe if you held the drill in your mouth and hammered with your free hand, being careful to preserve at least a couple of teeth?

There once was a Doc from Nantucket Who carried his balls in a bucket Is he Trask, is he Dru? Hell, maybe he's you Something worthwhile to ponder? Nah, fuck it. [ 08-21-2002, 02:41 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

First time for everything!

So if Trask is your avatar, and Trask (i.e. Dru, i.e. you) asserted that Dru (i.e. you, i.e. Trask) is in fact Dr. Flash Amazing, then the person typing this must not exist! GREAT SCOTT!

Nice list That reminds DFA of one of his first trad leads (possibly his very first) on a fine 5.7 at the Greensprings crag in So. Oregon. It's an inside corner in a dihedral, and the belay is actually on a ledge about 20' off the deck (4th class or 5.0ish to the ledge). 'Twas a roasty hot summer day, making for greasy climbing. DFA struggled mightily up the intimidating line, pumping himself silly fidgeting in gear every few feet. About halfway up the route, the Doctor looked down to the ledge to see his belayer passed out from the heat with his head hanging over the side. Upon being hollered at (somthing along the lines of "Hey! What the fuck are you doing?!"), the delinquent belayer stirred and clambered confusedly to his feet, and managed to remain upright for the remainder of the pitch. So perhaps number 12 on the list of things you don't wanna hear from your belayer would be a thud.

Yeah. That just means Dwayner's buggered in the head.

Bonus question: (for anyone but Fern or Jordan Peters or Stefan) what is that ice climb in the background? Polar Circus! Now pay up.

quote: Originally posted by iain: 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. Thanks for the kind assessment of the Doctor's abilities. Careful, though; you might get run off of this board for being nice to DFA! DFA's been trying pretty hard for a fair number of years, but he ain't all that strong of a boulderer either. Rather be hangdogging something! But the good time, as you mention, is key, so screw it. Speaking of tearing it up, Lisa Rands was down there last night, and Yikes! That is one strong woman. The Doctor always thought V6 was pretty hard. Apparently it's not that hard when you can lock off at your knee and casually make static reaches where most people would have to deadpoint. Sickening and very motivating.

10 minutes?! That handily beats SG with SG Accelerator, even. Although you do have to boil it, but that's pretty cool. Must get some.

No worries, Thinkness. Dr. Flash Amazing has learned nothing at cc.c if not how to take shit for being a sport clamberer. Hope the repair job works out OK. DFA fixed a snowboard-edge-induced slice in the sleeve of his shell with SG, and it shows little sign of letting go (and that one was with no patch, just the SG). Likewise a 1" tear in his rain fly from an angry pinecone. Indestructible. Whatever genius coined the prase that SG is "the duct tape of the 90's" (so the quote's a little dated; whatever) had it spot on.

quote: Quoth GODZILLA: SPORTOS: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WWF WRESTLING AND REAL WRESTLING BECAUSE THE MOVES ARE REHEARSED TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE OF REAL STRUGGLE OR INJURY. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPORT CLIMBING AND REAL CLIMBING IS SIMILAR IF YOU PRACTICE EVERY MOVE FOR YEARS, WORK THE SEQUENCES ON THE GROUND FOR HOURS AND LEAVE YOUR PRO HANGING ON THE ROCK FOR CLIPPING EASE. MY GRANDMA AND DWAYNERS GRANDMA WORK 5.12 ALL DAY REDMONK: DO NOT ASSUME THE DIFFICULTIES BEFORE YOU HAVE CLIMBED. I AM MUCH HARDER THAN PRINCELY AMBITIONS (WHAT A GAY NAME). I AM HARD BUT I AM STILL ONLY 5.9. YOU HAVE DEFEATED ME ONCE, BUT I AM SURE THAT IF YOU CONTINUE CLIMBING FOR LONG YOU WILL EVENTUALLY END UP HANGING FROM MY STEEP SIDES. SPEAKING OF GAY NAMES: DR. FLASH AMAZING Your irradiated synapses have clearly ceased firing properly. If you had ever tried anything harder than climbing out of the ocean to eat Tokyo and stomp Toyotas, you'd quickly learn that hard sport climbs, although doable after working the moves, are still quite hard. That's why there are 600 people waiting around to TR 5 Gallon Buckets, and only 6 people waiting to send Churning. And speaking of gay names, what the fuck is "Godzilla" s'posed to mean, anyway? DFA hopes you get bum-plowed by Mothra and Rodan, you dumb-ass lizard.

quote: Originally posted by TimL: Funny thing, I never hear of sport climbers complaining about gear climbers. It’s always gear climbers bitching and moaning about sport climbers. What gives? The only thing I hear from sport climbers as "trad" climbers pass by at the crags is chuckles:D or laughter at the self righteous idiot in a helmet with all new gear and chaotic mess of slings draped over themselves like a medieval barbarian proclaiming some mantra about bolts this or that. Climbing is supposed to be fun. If your so involved that your knocking people for being a sport or a trad climber and not focusing on you and your friends climbing maybe you should see a doctor. Or just do something else like play in traffic! Holy shit! The voice of reason speaks!

quote: Originally posted by Dwayner: So, if sport-climbing is frustrating and frustration is all part of the fun, why complain about having to wait? By that view, the additional frustration entailed in the uncertainty of waiting can only add to the "good times"! Sorry, mate, but as a trad-man, it's really hard for me to relate to several weekends involving "80 feet of at-your-limit sickness". Nothing I read so far changes my opinion and I'm surprised that the "Doctor" didn't enjoy the humorous sporty-stereotype. OK, the point about frustration was not a good one. Frustration from actually climbing, good. People who monopolize routes without giving other people a go, bad. And the Doctor might have enjoyed your "humorous" sporty stereotype had it seemed more like good satire than run-of-the-mill slagging and stereotyping.

quote: Originally posted by backcountrydog: It goes clean on aid yet the sporty's don't like the commitment required to place gear on lead while free climbing. neither do "aid" climbers Of course sport climbers don't like the commitment required to place gear on lead while free climbing. That's why we're sport climbers, Holmes.

Helmet on when: - trad climbin' (yeah, DFA does that on occasion) - sport climbing at Maple Canyon - posting on cc.com

quote: Originally posted by Thinker: so for lack of other options, I went into REI last night. T'would be a week or more til I got my pack back. Said "sorry, no can do...heading to the Tetons this weekend." I asked the kindly young man for a piece of fabric so I can mangle my own (temporary) patch. He gave me a chunk, no charge. I'm impressed. Just cut a fabric patch for each side of each hole (be sure to use circles or at least rounded corners so they don't snag on stuff). Then glue the two patches on with Seam Grip, and be sure to coat around the edges of each patch. That shit is indestructible, and at least as bomber as sewing the patches, but way less hassle if you're careful with the SG. [ 08-20-2002, 05:05 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

Is that anything like the famed/infamous Cottontail Ranch? "I say don't drink and drive you might spill your drink before you get behind the wheel just stop and think you can take your chances but there's so much to lose another bumpy road and so much wasted booze I'm not so worried 'bout how many I kill I'm much more concerned with how much beer I spill" - NOFX

I disagree. e) did I mention that you give me a headache? Sexy Coco.....I thought you went out to clip some choss? Your time might be better teaching P.P. a few of the latest Moondance steps.
