Wow, she must be a pretty interesting person. "Last October 70 of you joined me in National Day of Panhandling for Reparations." The clothing line "Crow Clothing". " How to Rent a Negro THE MOVIE! My acclaimed book, How to Rent a Negro is currently in development to be made into a film by Coalition Films (NY) in Partnership with Participant Productions (LA). Participant Productions is responsible for many outstanding films incliuding Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. "

There was less theft back in the day because there was less people. Most likely Moiras stuff got yanked by a meth head. They did catch a guy in PCC recently who walked into a secure area following a guy with a laptop, and he broke into the locker and yanked the laptop within a moment of the owner locking it. Caught it on film, arrested the guy, turns out same dude had been working the locker rooms at 3 of the high end gyms in town including the very secure Mac Club: could have easily been the guy, quite the pro (and a meth head). In either case, climbers are not immune from the ills of society, we are part of the same club as the rest of humanity. Here's Ron Olvesky on Supertopo for instance on a Reinhard Karl thread:

A Fur-trader convention....why?

The first part is not correct, the second is true. Guess we're back to galvanized fabric covered canteens like we had in the 60's out in the desert. You could get the outside wet, hang it off your car's side mirror as you drove and it would cool the contents off. The galvanization kept it from rusting of course. Please do not do a search on the hazards of galvanizing, many water pipes had it too. In 2020 I expect to read that the 18/8 Stainless Steel canteens (like I have now, the Kleen Kanteens) leached chromium and Nickel and we're all totally fu*ked and soon to be growing claws, having our sexual organs fall off and other rude stuff...... C'est le Vive............sigh.....shit, just drop a water bottle on me now from the top of the cliff and lets get it over with quick please. Anyone want to see what a stainless steel Kleen Kanteen looks like when it freezes? Me either but it fu*ks them up bad. Leave it 3/4 empty and it should be fine. Last fall I filled up all my water bottles at a spring that runs pure and froze them for later consumpion....bad bad idea:-0

Me too, either that or skiing.

Tense we should all be. However, interesting that Fatah and Arafat had the exact same thing said of it for years, and after years of being stonewalled and attacked, then finally marginalized due to an open election, now they are the moderates which our admin and the Israelis want to work with.

it does seem strange - for a man so opposed to bolts, you'd think he'd dig on folks sticking to scrambling? Well I was thinking that the heavy dude in the white t-shirt was Don. Well, but you know what they say: "once a narrow-minded hater, always a narrow-minded hater." "Can't teach an old-dawg new tricks" blah blah

That....and it's commonly just your brother climbing below:-) Now about those F*ckin' bees..... hope the Lexan killed them.

Tim Olsen's site: http://www.mrpiton.com/ Says that the Portland Rock Climbs 3rd ed. is available at http://www.portlandrockclimbs.com/ . He has a great lookin' topo of Beacon too. I don't currently have one, so maybe I can borrow yours when you get it? Anyway, probably get some good ideas perusing both of Tims sites, and welcome to Portland, although it really is a piss poor second stepchild to some of the awesome stuff that is up in Northern Washington.

Thanks for the invite: you 2 would be the most excellent cats meow to hang with, and I'm sure the Zone would be much better this time of year than the Butte: however, I was sketched on time, trying to hit the Couve cross over during rush hour sucks. I don't know how some people do that twice a day every day. As it was, we got in @ 5 quick laps and it was good. Just Ujhan, Troy and I. Hopefully next time.

opps- there is a Chemekata Community College though. _______________________________________________ "Who We Are The Club: The Chemeketans is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1928 united in a common interest in outdoor activities. The Chemeketans is a membership organization with about 700 members based in Salem, Oregon. Our primary activity is day hiking but includes many other outdoor activities and special events as well. We schedule cross-country ski trips, snowshoe outings, bicycle trips, canoe trips, backpacks, mountain climbs, picture nights, and other events such as museum trips and car camps. We help build and maintain trails too. We own a mountain cabin and schedule overnight trips there. We have a program for those who wish to share in the club's ever expanding commitment to conservation of natural resources. We have an annual banquet and a Christmas and Halloween party. Our most ambitious single event is a two-week Annual Outing which provides meals and activities for up to 100 people per week at a distant campsite. The Name: "Chemeketa" is a Native American name which roughly translates as "meeting place." It was the name that indigenous peoples used for what is now the Salem area. Contact Information: The club has no telephone number. Our mailing address is: The Chemeketans, P.O. Box 864, Salem OR 97308. Send questions about the club and membership to the Membership Secretary. Meetings: We don't have regularly scheduled membership meetings other than our annual business meeting. We gather somewhere in Salem prior to activities to register and arrange car-pooling. Activities are published in abbreviated form on the Activities Calendar and with contact information in our monthly Bulletin." From here: link

Hope Gent limits the amount of participants. Chemekata is a community college, so in response to the question I expect thats what a Chemekatan is. 2 Gent pics below, a finer gentleman cannot be found. Fender, have a good time, your notifications are really nice and appreciated by many. I stopped being a guide and "teacher" @20 years ago as it seemed to me that I was being part of the problem by introducing more and more folks to the game that was then starting to become crowded, so I stopped. I have no issues with those who do, I'm just saying that was my take then, and I can understand why you might not be doing the outings next year as you note. I bump into groups on occasion and it never seems to be an issue, if you want to climb ya climb, or move on, not been any issues for me. BTW, my thoughts are anytime I leave a rope on a route, it means you can use that rope if it's free. Think of it as an enabler. Or pull it if you want, makes no trouble either way. It can get back up there the same way it got there the first time. Hope ya stay mostly dry!

What, you don't listen to her talk or read her posts?

Well dt thats only 200 gallons of gas, say she gets 30 MPG, like an intelligent person would who was driving that much, thats only 6000 miles a month. I use @ 80 gallons, but use it for some deliveries for business in addition to screwing around skiing and climbing, so what would I get from J McCain? $14.? Oh boy, 2 happy meals. Wonder how they would make up the revenue that they didn't get from the gas tax there. Maybe they could just increase our income taxes or borrow more from the Chinese like they are already doing.

Anyone doing this tonight? I haven't been on this cliff this year, but Ujhan got up there at the Butte last weekend and said it was in fact - very slimy, and dirty. Some of us wusses need to get off the couch and chalk the f*cking shit out of this cliff to dry it off. ...Or at least try to cling on much like a slug on a ice cube.

According to the original story, Hoovers FBI spent years trying to prove (or learn) that the man in the tape was JFK. So, to answer you, if true: the FBI cared.

What an inspiration!

Plot thickens link

Well, show it then. Don't ya wonder if that was any truth that MM was murdered cause she was going to expose that JFK was banging her? I suspect so myself given how much of a low-life JFK's Father, Joe Kennedy was, having at that time probably already hired a young girl murdered when she was going to testify against him. Age sucks, one more example. BB before After (crying for the baby seals) Think perhaps it's those damn seal-hunting Canadians who worried her so much that did that to her?

I sometimes think back to my college days, where my Poli-Sci prof would hold class in Sams Hoffbrau on ocasion when he was thirsty and not in the classroom and quaff 3 or 4 frothy pints much to the wide-eyed wonderment of the many Arabs in the class, who refused to partake. I'll be sitting watching the gorgeous half naked dancers at a pro ball game and reflect on our deep cultural differences where if a woman did that back in their country, she would be brutalized by the system. Stoned, whipped and/or jailed as well. Does anyone here think that the Iranians, if they had a nuclear device, would NOT use it on Israel? Sometimes I wonder if the crap we think is not widely influenced by political PR flak to the Newspapers. Then I think of folks I've known who have lived in various Middle east countries and think that having, or allowing, a nuclear Iran would be a catastrophe in short order. Had the British or the French offed Hitler before the Czechoslovakia or Polish invasion....what would have been? What path would the world have taken, and how different it would be now. Is that what we are staring at right now?

Maybe they were thinking of the Trango Cinch, which has been out for a while.

$25,600.00 Driving home from the post office run to drop off Caesars rendering last night, I see a man sleeping under the bridge. Literally. Such an intense sweet and sour thing. Glad it comes but once a year.

Just kidding, have fun.

Ed Zachary Disease Madeline Albright, Clintons secretary of yada yada was on a China trip - she was very distraught at the fact that she had not had a date or any sex in quite some time. She was afraid she might have something wrong with her, so she decided to seek the medical expertise of a local sex therapist in Peking, where she wasn't well known. Her doctor recommended that she see the well known Chinese sex therapist Dr. Chang. So she went to see him. Upon entering the examination room Dr. Chang said 'OK take off all your crose.' She did as she was told. 'Now get down and craw reery, reery fass to odderside of room.' Again she did as she was instructed. Dr. Chang then said 'OK, now craw reery, reery fass back to me.' So she did. Dr.Chang shook his head slowly and said, 'Your probrem vewy bad. You haf Ed Zachary diease. Worse case I ever see. Dat why you not haf sex or dates.' Worried, Madeline Albright asked anxiously, 'Oh my God Dr.Chang what is Ed Zachary Disease?' Dr. Chang sighed deeply and replied, 'Ed Zachary Disease is when your face look Ed Zachary like your ass.' Here Madeline Albright scores with Kim Il Jung II!
