How has this thread gone this far and there are no naked pics surfacing? BTW, is Putin still all pissy about being compared to Dobby on Harry Potter?

Baby H says: "I HATE clown-Punchers, Hate em! "

Oh, it gets worse now that you're all sucked in:-) Now that the thread is going to hell, I got more, check this out. The effects of freezing Kleen Kanteens. The one that didn't split was all swollen up like a balloon, had to slam it down on the concrete to flatten out the bottom so it wouldn't roll over like one of those Clo0wn punching balloons. BTW, don't drop one of those Kleen Kanteens on someone either, or kick it down a snow slope say, from the top of the pearly gates, I'd rather be clown-punched by a Nalagene than have the stainless slamming into me. You were warned about the thread going to hell and ya read this post anyway...dudes, I told ya:-)

Pink, you catch this one? full text link "“Nine, eight, seven ... ” A crowd of about 10,000 people collectively began counting down on the University of Colorado’s Norlin Quadrangle just before 4:20 p.m. today. Yet the massive puff of pot smoke that hovers over CU’s Boulder campus every April 20 — the date of an annual, internationally recognized celebration of marijuana — began rising over the sea of heads earlier than normal this year. “Oh forget it,” one student said, aborting the countdown to 4:20 p.m. and lighting his pipe early. He closed his eyes, taking a deep, long drag. “Sweet.” Although it’s become an annual and renowned event at CU, this year’s 4/20 celebration was different in some ways than in many previous years: The crowd was so large it migrated from the long-traditional site of Farrand Field to the larger Norlin quad; festivities kicked off earlier than normal with daytime concerts; and CU police handed out zero citations.............." ....more

Me too, I even use steel carabiners on occasion (short walk topropeing) to mitigate the aluminum issue. Then my buddy Dave pointed out that EVERY damn time I drink a can of Coke, I must be getting via ingestion shitloads of AL as the Coke is fairly corrosive....hmmm thought I: right on, so then I would ONLY drink the cokes in the plastic bottles...... till I heard this plastic issue, then I pretty much mostly gave up on Cokes, except for lots of Whiskey-Colas of course.

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!

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?
