Pink points are better than "Brown points". Thats where you shit all over yourself thinking you will die, but make it up anyway.

Ahhh, well thats an easy one Pup, BOULDERING = SEX WITH SHEEP. Some people may consider this a deviancy or stangeness, but it's still great as long as you don't care what others think.

Holy shit you're old. Opps, did I say that out loud? Have not seen Wayne for maybe 30 years. Good story! Whats your real name? Welcome to CC.com BTW -Bill

Sub titties? WTF you takin about? Opps, just re-read that, nevermind. Heres the link:

3.5 GPA Jason what do you say about that?

I think I may be missing this money boat: and am thinking of starting a program called "Center for Families supporting the Missionary Position", wherein your checks will be tax deductible and all funds forwarded to me, and the Center will recruit young nubiles for...hmmm....what shall we call that?....... Well, it will be tax deductible. Workin out a few kinks, but on the road to success and righteousness now I think!

Smokin hot: I'd vote for her no doubt! Did anyone catch any of the words? Seriously, I'm glad no one asks me crap like that off the cuff. Probably sound like this: Ubuuubah,...... Ubuuubah, .........Ubuuubah, .......HUh? She had this to say:" BLONDE AMBITION Teen beauty queen explains TV meltdown Miss South Carolina claims 3.5 grade-point average, says she lost train of thought Posted: August 27, 2007 10:59 p.m. Eastern By Joe Kovacs © 2007 WorldNetDaily.com The 18-year-old beauty contestant who mesmerized the nation with her "brilliance" at the Miss Teen USA pageant over the weekend is speaking out about her gaffe, explaining she "completely misunderstood" the question posed to her. Miss Teen South Carolina Lauren Caitlin Upton fumbles through an answer during Friday's Miss Teen USA Pageant on NBC "I didn't do anything wrong," Lauren Caitlin Upton told the State newspaper of South Carolina. "I wasn't expecting [the question]. I lost my train of thought." She says she graduated with a 3.5 grade point average from Lexington High School in June, and was a varsity athlete and student leader. WND was the first news organization to report on Upton, who suffered an apparent and unfortunate "extreme blonde moment" during Friday night's NBC broadcast from Pasadena, Calif. When asked about the reason why some Americans could not locate the U.S. on a world map, Upton provided an answer that some call moronic and hilarious, while others say it's painful to watch and typical for young people in America today. As part of the competition, Upton was asked what host Mario Lopez called a "thought-provoking final question" selected at random. Upton selected judge Aimee Teegarden, an actress from NBC's "Friday Night Lights," who asked her this question: "Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the United States on a world map. Why do you think this is?" The South Carolina beauty gave this strange, grammarless response: I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children. Lopez told People Magazine he wanted to help Upton, but was instructed not to talk to the contestants while they were answering questions. "It was a very intense moment. It's live TV. You don't know what the question is until you get up there. And I believe that she misunderstood it. She went down the wrong road and couldn't figure out how to get back to the right one," he said. "I felt really badly for her." "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno played the clip during his program this evening, and joked, "People in South Carolina [are] filing out now." Upton will get another chance at answering questions in the morning as she's slated to appear on NBC's "Today Show." end

1) Climbing = good sex 2) "Sport" - clipping bolts that are close = quickly pleasuring yourself. Both are good: no argument from me, but you miss some subtle nuances in sport/pleasuring yourself. Conversely, sport misses some painful and often ugly complexities of climbing/sex with it's simplicities. Hope that helps.

Thanks, pretty bad, nothing ice, tape and ibuprofen hasn't helped:-) It has been helpful in flipping folks off too all taped up like that! Typing sucked for a while too! RB sounds good since it's been dry lately. I think I'm game, where do you want to climb? It's your call.

kinda like when you bring a comdom with you to a bar, but ya never got to use it. No, that is like carrying around a rope and your entire rack in a backpack with no place to go and no objective, but you don't climb anything. If you hit on a hottie at the bar and she walks, that is an attempt. So next time, start showing her your climbing gear ala Jim Robinson, he'd head into a bar with a carabiner and some gear hanging off his pack just to start up a conversation of how he climbed - now that was an attempt:-0 Like Eric says: "1) : to make an effort to do"

Here's my technique and it worked last time up the Dike. Take both the lightest running shoes you own and Ujahn. Like a young Labrador with a ball he's sprinting up the trail and looking back at ya: as if to say "come on come on come on". This is about 30 paces from your campsite before you've even hit a hill. You casually drop this line: "Man, (said while yawning) must have slept hard last night, this stuff feels particularly heavy." He'll offer to carry everything you have, and you gratefully accept. Remember this part cause it's important: your rope, shoes, gear, harness, etc etc but MOST importantly your WATER is now no longer on your back so you have to keep up. With this now significantly slower pace (as you loaded down the pace setter with all the weight), you do keep up, breathlessly promising yourself all the way to seriously start working out if you can only make it back without any major ligaments in the legs tweaking severely. Then just as you get up there at the base you find out that your pace was fast enough to have just caught up with some young studs who woke up early and left camp 2 hours before you.

Thats why I couldn't check any of the boxes. No vehicles.

Cleaned and followed Ujhan up a new crack route at the Twilight Zone Sunday which we named "The Short Bus". 10b/c, probably over 5.11 till it gets fully cleaned off, good pro. A retarded little climb that took a lot of work. Ujahn was climbing strong! His lead:-) Maybe a bit runout to the first piece but easy climbing there, @ 20 feet and he tied a runner to that tree root. Killed some wasps on the way in there, trundled 2 blocks that weighed maybe 400-600 lbs each and they flew nicely. Cleaned off 90% of another route and am wondering if it needs a bolt, or if I should pull it using the 2 pieces at my knee, or just lead with an ankle breaking ledge fall (assuming the pieces hold) and call it a day. I'm OK with taking the shot - for myself, but was wondering about others. Pretty much 80% decided on the bolt. Might lead it then bolt it for everyone else. Edited to add pics Tara sent over. _________________________________________________________________ Went to a reunion with some old high school friends who periodically get together to touch base, drink beer and eat, eat , eat: and drink some more. Amazing how old and out of shape folks are getting....amazing. Drank too much. Ate too much.

Long time ago we did some above the private land (just west of where you are looking probably). I think it was my friend John Petrosky who mentioned somebody being shot at there for traspassing, so I didn't go back, although I did go over there a couple of years back and it looks the same (looks like someone damn near lives there). There are some routes on both sides, I think Tim Olsen may list a few in his book "Portland Rock Climbs". Hey Mike, when you showing up to show us how hard your pulling these days ya fu*king loner? I may have a route you can try here in a bit. Link to PDX climbers hook up thread here

But you sounded like a seasoned expert on all the other threads....?

This has to be a better topic than a Politics and Climbing discussion. Except maybe not.

Damn, now that something you don't see often.

You keep this up and you'll be just like everyone else on this site. Love Norway, my advice, hit Bergen then head due north up to the Arctic Circle. That whole trip has some of the best scenery on Gods green earth. Have fun!

Paying up. Shit

Roger Smith and I once "attempted" the Picket Traverse like 30 years ago. The plan was to hitchhike up there and do it. However, as no one would pick us up, our "attempt" to go do this failed after standing on the side of the freeway for @ a day while we were still in Oregon.

Copy the location by right clicking on the pic itself, highlighting properties, and copying the text which ends in .jpg. 3rd button up there if you mouseover it says "enter and image". Click that - paste the text which ends in .jpg and it looks like a good looking dawg: like this!

Agreed. I'd think that the very start of P1 disturbs me a bit, as you can pancake if you pull even just a couple of pieces. Technically, the 2nd pitch is suppose to be harder, but there are a few great placements when you are directly above your belayer, and then it heads to the right, so less stress (my thinking anyway). Finishing to the top is nothing to worry about. All nuts, C3+, but easier now with newer gear, I still think it's C3. I have not climbed it using cam hooks or HB brass nuts though, but the west face seems to drop a full grade using them... so maybe Tylers C2 call is accurate. If you're worried, just take some extra pro (it's small so it's light), and double it up (and even equalize it if you want) if you need to. Sure it's slower, but safer too.

They come with the bulge pre-installed?

Agreed! Frikkan nice!

come on Couliour, stop that
