What's the question again?

clearly you didn't see the chix she set out w/ Nice riposte, touche!

For many this weekend, it was the best of times, and it was the worst of times. In a weekend that saw a young man and woman's untimely demise, it's worth it for all of us to take a moment to think of whats important to us. How can we optimize our all too short and fleeting ephemeral existence, and to revel in the strength and beauty of our youth? For this too will pass all too soon for us all dear reader. The late great Michael Reardon believed that a nude climbing club would be an interesting idea and he formed one. Frequently that great climber would just shed his inhibitions and let his freak flag fly. Naked pics abound of him free soloing up to 5.11. This tradition goes back to the earliest roots of east coast climbing with the Vulgarians setting standards in the 50's and the great climb of Shockley's Ceiling by Dick Williams buck-assed naked. This ascent has been repeated many times by others emulating an original. Young Adam knows none of this. Yet he follows in the path of the greats in the finest style as if it's his nature. The challenge tossed out by his buddy Jesse on the FA of the crack to the left led to the buttress being named "The Bare Buttress and the first route being named "Adam's Crack". In this case, the "Stone Nudes" calender was being discussed and Jesse said "How come no guys do the naked calender thing", Adam says "I would", Jesse replys "dude you're too chicken" "No Way" Adam responded and whoosh, off went the clothes, and up he went (January with snow still on the ground here and there and the wind blowing!)... and there it was. http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/865271/Opinons_needed_thread_NSFW#Post865271 The obvious lines on both sides of Adams Crack were named "The Left Cheek and of course "The Right Cheek." Here's some pictures of Adam on the FA of "The Right Cheek" this Saturday, which if you had to ask where this was, you would be told that "The Right Cheek" is located just to the Right of "Adams Crack", as you can clearly see. Old school bowline on a coil worked as a harness for a 5.10B all gear first ascent. Regards to all, live life to the fullest, you only have one go round.

That's sad. Of course this was Bush's fault.

Oh!? Will Sarah Palin be in this one too? Cause I'd watch that one.

John, because there were half a million Mazamas or because of the 2 folks who died? ps, the triple bag de jour is ski till the snow warms, climb AT PETE'S for 2-4 hours, then hike to the top of Beacon and back fast so that your thighs are burning:-) Horsethief is reserved for when it's cold or wet up high.

Dohhh! Thanks Clint!

Any info? Mazamas basic climbing class was out there today....anyone know anything? Sorry for this piss poor excuse for a news article. Typical. http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/04/two_rock_climbers_die_at_popul.html "by Su-jin Yim, The Oregonian Sunday April 05, 2009, 6:48 PM Two rock climbers died Sunday at Horsethief Butte in Klickitat County. Washington State Parks spokeswoman Virginia Painter confirmed the deaths, but could not release any details about the accident or victims. The park on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge is a popular destination for climbers. Several dozen people were there at the time of the accident, Painter said." Not Mazamas as it turned out. Man that sucks.

I hadn't read it, but from the earlier press releases, it sounded to me like the wife still hadn't come to grips with it and was writing the book to sort it all out. Hope the family's can finally find some peace, and if it's through God: why not? Late start? What time is it? OMG! CYA

Strange golden object? Hmmmmm, yellow orbs....mmmmmmm

That wasn't so hard now ...was it. This keeps up people are gonna start thinking you're a normal person. I promise to stop baiting you with gun pics......since Don left I can't bait anyone with the lil Dawg pics. Unless someone objects, cause I'll post some more if it's needed.

Speaking only for myself, I'm not playing. Someone attacks me personally I take it personally. Deadly serious shit. That thread you folks deleted between T and me, it wasn't joking or play on my end. That's just for me, can't say for everyone else.

damn...from your title, "Serious Sh*t", I was thinking this: or this or this Instead its a baseball thread. I'd rather look at the shit.

Hi son Jody occasionally posts over on Supertopo and if you title a thread the same he'll touch base I'm sure.

OMG, was it good for you? LOL. Your avatar should be Hugh Jardon:-) Here's some more gun porn for ya next time.

LOL, I had that pic as well but didn't want to say anything.

Crazy Train...Black Sabbath

Since this is an Ivan thread, here's a pic I snuck of "Ivan the Amazing" out there Feb 2009. Blue Sky!

Nah, this was just a "shit happens" thing I'm sure. It was there, with Kyle @ a week plus or so ago. The shitfaced this is just the look I'm going for these days I think. No substances at all unless you count Heed energy drink. I've always wondered if a piece of tubular webbing with a small tab of tape to hold it would work as a protector. Never tried it. I will say that I use the orange spiral protectors routinely and they can and do move. I'd moved this over the the previous route, "The Trembling" as you can see, lots of loose rocks and blocks to chop a rope. The block I'm on there looks ready to pitch. Slim Pickins short version. Jim had started shoveling with me on this new one. Here's what the protected speciaes dormant Himalayan Blackberry bushes look like. Scott (seen here with the lil dawg) Jim and I had put in the anchor once we could see what was what, great location for a rap point, straight to the dirt, no edges as it's on the end of a ledge. Kyle and I put in a couple of temporary jingus cams so we could move over and clean this ledge. From this picture I think that we can surmise that Kyle did this.

I meant X 4. Seek help Hugh. Is that last name Conway or Jardon BTW? __________________________________________________________ I know, lets all post pictures of our weapons. .308 at the 100 yard range. Bug? Your turn.

I bet if you do a poll that said "who needs help, me or Bug", you would win by a factor of X2. Jus' sayin' is all. Try it. PS, offering to "Cap (kill him) his ass on the Interglacier" could easily get you on the "need to die first" list of an otherwise normal proactive person. Ya got your flight and you have your fight. Some fly, some fight. You started this one.

Last week, now known as the "Holy Mammut Day". (spelling holey?) Nice story Ivan. PS, I believe you would have gotten bonus points for mouse tossage.

Yup -whacked for sure. But at least he didn't post this ad.

I think there may be an opening in a few months.....however.....I'm not sure that's a good election strategy - you'd probably be better off mounting a horse in public I suppose.
