Tuesday for me, 5:45pm Sean, save some for Thurs, we can do WR Buttress. You can tell me if you think it's an 11a or whatever the guidebook incorrectly list it as.

ouch! Sat: Family had brunch to say bye to daughter (back to HAWAII for school) Went to Beacon with Ujahn. Ran into Joseph, he lead the 2nd ascent of Marks route. We all got worked. Then did Right Gull to Jills thrill and up to points beyond to hang out on JH's favorite ledges. Microbrews and pizza in Stevenson. Finished the day with pullups on Ujahns truck monkee bar. Sunday: Did Bridge pedal with 1st and 2nd sons and brother. Quit after 6 or so bridges they did the 24 mile 8 bridge version and called me a wuss. Breakfast at Beaterville with more family. Went to work. Filled out my visa for China Tibet. Stoped by Uwajimaya to get CC Grape for second son, they were out, got Calipso and yogurt drinks instead. Ran into Sean (Acacia) and lady at the Butte, loaned him my rope protectors and then went bouldering on top. Got worked hard. 3 cocktails and dinner with mom and extended family. Walked the dogs with the wife all over the neighborhood.

How are you proposing to do that?

Bootie dude. You own it. Nice climbing with you today, Ujahn has pics we can suck out of him.

Cobra, what is this crazy shit? Are you intimating that you ARE really a climber and really do climb? Who knew that shit? Learn something new every day. Update: Larry J isn't the flyingpig S and Sniff, I saw him Sat at Beacon and asked him. Nope, not him. Other Larry lives in Utah, writes coherently (as Areyoumydude on RC.com) and would be upfront with his idendity.

Joseph: remember watching that hot Croation girl follow the corner, she'd chalked at least 10 times each hand for the first 5 or 6 moves! Then she got stymied at the crux for @ 20-30 min and wanted to quit, you free soloed over to point at holds and encourage her. Funny stuff. That shit was slathered on eh? I do a traverse at the Butte that has a bunch of linked easy class 5 moves. Everyone chalks the shit out of it, and the result is I get to breath the dust and grab the now greasy holds, I'd like to see people not use so much.... but I'll admit I'd be dipping my stubby dick in it if I could climb like Powderhound or Markd. BTW, I think Scratchandsniff might have it figured out. Flyingpig, I have a new phone now (Treo600! chestbeat ), if you leave a message to go climbing I should get it sooner than 2 weeks later like last time. Sorry I missed you guys.

I'm a gear whore!

It's a great idea.

(Flyingpig = Jimmy O,?)

I don't know what that really means. I hear people call Rangers or Police Tools. Seems like an unfair critisism to me. We don't have to stoop to namecalling Rumr. I think it's a valid viewpoint which many agree with to varying degrees. We should give the newcomer the benefit of the doubt in my opinion. I will add that the results JH is getting is making some of my origonal reservations of JH's openness and willingness to deal disappear. Not that that all has a damn thing to do with chalk. I thought Jimmy O had one of the best points when he mentioned that the way these various issues use to get hashed was out on the rock, on a ledge, by people who were actually climbing and not just talking about it like we are here. Course there wasn't total agreement on some stuff then either, as evidenced by the flyingpigs bolt war remark.

yup.

Overreacting Kev. JH's origonal post was over a year old. Bri just tried a classic thread revival move and the spark ignited. BTW, note how quiet he's been on the Beacon thread? What do you make of that?

Anyone here trade music? I have 118 gb @ 23,000 songs or so, on an external HD. All kinds of disorganized shit. Killed most of the rap off of it. Except for Ice-T's supurb album "The Iceberg". PM me if interested PDX.

Ok. But what do you do with the drill?

*Cough* dickhead * cough * dickhead* Cough. Wow: Seems like a mean thing to say. Layton kick you in the nutz or sumptin? No? Probably should have (or he might next time).

Nah, been preaching rope bags and care ever since I carried a guy out once when this happened (rope fell apart under bodyweight, rope owner insisted "I've taken perfect care of that rope") while his buddy was rapping on real rocks on an older furred rope. Thank God he only had his femur sticking out of his thigh until he passed out. We're out in the middle of Eastern Oregon pre-cell phones so we made a rope litter/splinted and carried him out. Ended well with the exception I lost a great (then very bloodied) denim shirt as a pad and never got it back. Next move for me, spent the money on rope bags for every rope I own and never looked back....err, except for moments like these..... Told ya so on another site: Says the same thing there.

told you so told ya so told ya so Goddamnit.

True or not: eating gallbladders from bears increase's sexual potency.

You're Lucky

Can't believe you misssed a perfect opprotunity to use the word "Clownpunch". You're slipping Bob.

You could do what I did last night. Leave mine at home and just borrow yours when I grease off at the crux cause my finger slipped out of the crack. I've found it's cheaper too! No, seriously, nice climbing with you last night Bri, and thanks for the chalk. Nice thread-revival effort too.

Wow. thanks for the update Ivan........Those birds have been sort of semi-missing ever since JH saw some Ravens chasing them, makes you wonder what that whole alternate universe is all about really. Plenty of other hot Bird-on Bird action out there last Sunday, but I don't think I saw the Peregrines. -other notes: Saw a Coopers Hawk at Rocky Butte last night, and the mean wasps at the base of Vertical Threapy are dead for sure. A good pump was had by all (Bri, Sean, Bryan and I). The highlight of the night was Powderhound pulling that roof to the right of Bluebird. I've seen lots of real strong folks try it. That's the first time I've heard of anyone doing it. I figure Sean will nail it next time he's out there. BTW, fat old man like me won't even try that one any more. I figure my tendons will thank me later.

I figured it would be Crabs. *Easy to keep out of sight. *Easy to feed. *Fit into small spaces on the boat. *They're everywhere you want to be. *Maintain the Nautical theme. *No shit running down your back and neck like with a Parrot.

Yeah Kev, ya gotta love copy and paste eh? It's not winter or wet any more either. Remember the young guy at your area @ month or so ago? Chris? I heard he'd gone to the gym with his girlfriend and she dropped him. Broke both ankles. Poor planning and execution on his part. I'm trying to get a jump start on that kind of thing. Brittle, tired, old bones. Don't get me started on that Yosemite story where I jumped on a 5.11 with a brand new partner only to look down and see him cavorting and chatting with 2 young kittens (girls) who'd just wandered over, neither hand on the rope, 2-3 feet of slack on the belay device..... Insert yelling noises here. Repeated again when I got higher up too. Bad planning and execution on my part. Needed a partner and trolled for one in camp 4..... Nkane, you're welcome to join us tonight.

No, keep going to the very top. I'm sorry Hound, I've been damn remiss in not showing you that stuff, some of it's pretty damn good, you can get trashed without a partner. Just drive to the top.
