Fucking pound or push that fucking wire clip piece out of that fucking hole there with some kind of fucking drift fucking pin and some fucking oil, then go get a fucking wire and a fucking swage and just fucking swage that fucking bad boy up so it is unfucked. I have the fucking swaging tool for it. I'll loan the fucker to you for the job. Alternative 1, I think Russ at Fish products might have an "unfuck for bucks" program, ask him. Alternative 2, sell it to Justin for $10 and he'll fix it. Alternative 3, put it on ebay. Someone will part with $100 for the chance at a rare and precious Alien. Alternative 4, (best choice) Send it back to Black Diamond with a long note explaining how disappointed you are in their gear, how upset you are that they sold out, and tell them you expect it fixed - STAT!

See how it really is Summit??

I'd like to thank you for not posting these when we were having the ice storm back in December....it could have caused some serious mental problems for some of us loonies who were crying for even 5 min of sun any day.

We don't "bully out" anyone here. What we do is mete out the necessary comeuppance upon those who show up here strutting about like a fucking peacock and behaving like a douchebag. You fit that bill perfectly. Now, if you want this haranguing to stop, then quit acting like such a douchebag every time you post. No one wants to hear about your FA/FFAs that aren't, your snide remarks to someone that you don't know from Adam and who has lost valuable gear, and the many other juvenile and snarky comments you make here. Get a fucking clue, grow up, and quit being a douchebag, ferchrissakes. .... and if I might add: welcome to the site. It will all even out soon, don't sweat it, most of us are Douchebags too, but we just got tired of calling each other that cause we've been here for a while. Seriously.

Yup Silver Bullet was the scene - warm and dry as a bone in PDX today and Fandango still has water oozing out of it. Yesterdays news to reiterate JH's point: http://www.kgw.com/news/local/Rangers-warn-of-very-slippery-hiking-trails-96976929.html "by KGW Staff kgw.com Posted on June 23, 2010 at 7:34 AM Updated yesterday at 8:51 AM HOOD RIVER, Ore. -- The unusually wet Spring has park rangers throughout the Northwest reminding hikers to be extra careful. Rangers have been warning people that the rain has made trails very slippery and drop-offs can crumble under their feet. Hikers were warned to never stray from marked trails. A teen hiker fell and died earlier this week along a popular trail called Angel’s Rest. Hiker Dararath Thang said the death was a sobering reminder about the power of Mother Nature. “Once you're up here, do not go to the edge, try to stay ten to 15 feet back because sometimes a big gust of wind will come out and hit you hard, or you never know, there could be loose rocks. It's really high up,” Thang said. Park rangers said that most trails were designed to keep people away from the edge while maximizing the views."

Some 35 year old woman I heard, Fire and rescue was mobilized to haul her out....anyone have any details? Think it may have been Silver Bullet area: not sure. Opps, found this thread has the newz story link.... http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/965862/Climber_falls_at_RB#Post965862

Not in colo? Is she with Al Gore?

I'm rich!

Well I'm always happy to see examples where 2 wrongs DO make a right. The dubious part of the story to me is that I would think Al Gore could do better than 54 years old. That's like wayyyyy past the expiration date. Look at the young woman Prince Albert in a can just married for instance.

Hmmmm...I see, and your comment about him is better how.....?

Me too!! But I keep the lil blood suckers tucked up mostly @ my belt line.

You guys catch this yet? Chris Falkenstiens short video of Uli Steck and Alex Honnold's attempt at the speed record on the Nose? It's worth a click, although it's time lapsed. BTW, There is a pic and a note of the Honnold 12b free solo of the Crucifix in Yosemite. http://verticalventures.com/blog/2010/06/breaking-news-update-honnold-solos-the-crucifix-in-yosemite/

Damn nice compliment as I wish I was half as witty as Cobra! I keep getting reminded on this site how dull and humorless I am. http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/965232/gonew/1/Afghanistan#UNREAD BTW, I'd tie in with Cobra anytime. Except he's a wild man on snow and my knees reject that idea.

Of course. Speaking for myself only, I would be willing to contribute to a fund that would allow us to buy you a sense of humor or a personality for Christmas or your birthday.

Amazing is an understatement. It make me wonder what his life expectancy is. This stuff is just so far out there, just like his freesolo of 1/2 Dome, or his freesolo day of Rainbow wall, hike down then freesolo up Triasic Sands and freesolo downclimbing Dream of Wild Turkeys to get down - all in the same day, as to make you speechless.

Is that next door to the route "Talk to The Elbow, Bitch because the Hand is busy!"

http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/06/al_gore_accused_of_sexual_assa.html "Al Gore accused of sexual assault during 2006 visit to Portland, National Enquirer says" Published: Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 10:32 AM Updated: Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 2:18 PM The National Enquirer, which uncovered John Edwards' secret love child in 2009, now reports that former Vice President Al Gore was accused of sexual assault during a visit to promote climate change in Portland in 2006. Gore was never charged with a crime, but the Enquirer reports that a 54-year-old masseuse claims the attack happened at a local upscale hotel: No criminal charges were brought against Gore, but the Portland police prepared a document marked "Confidential Special Report" - which records the explosive allegations of "unwanted sexual contact" by Al Gore "at a local upscale hotel." The ENQUIRER is withholding the name of the 54-year-old woman making the stunning accusations because she is potentially a sex-crime victim. Portland police spokeswoman Detective Mary Wheat said this morning she's receiving inquires "from all over the world" regarding the matter, and said police supervisors are about to meet this morning to discuss what material, if any, is available. Whatever that might be, it will probably be released sometime later today, Wheat says." Sounds like he and Clinton would have made quite the tag team......

Wuz the new route named "The Lesser of 2 Weevils"?

Speling police alert: dissappointed is spelled disappointed and YOUR is the correct word up there, YOUR. YOUR welcome

Rough crowd...sheese. Is Summitchaser sleeping with yer moms again?

What was your name going to be? _____________________________________________________________ BTW, you dudes should all start putting powdered moss killer in yer chalkbags instead of chalk: ...or have your second carry a can and shake the powder all around.

Holy crap Paul! It's a flying Rattlesnake epidemic. Who knew that this kind of crazy animal behavior even existed? That's so scary. One moment you're moving on stone being at one with the universe and the next moment you could have a serpent come flying out of nowhere all kung-fu like and it's wrapped around your arm and you're looking at each other going WTF?. Route name potential though: Rattlesnake Jam.

Sounds like someone just missed early retirement via the ebay wealth jackpot of the century. You should have been smelling money on that one!

Hmmm, that sounds extreme sucky. Conjecture here. You're either in hell or you got married....possibly both of course. Me too, but I won't post it for the same reason as she seemed bothered by the thought of it. However, her front is a good side, and hope shes asked this as she doesn't want the internet identity out there and not because shes self conscious, as she looks great: better than either of us for damn sure.
