i thought that marie was having some "yardwork" done?

yes if it's still raining. we might make it.

no pride...hmmm interesting conclusion and an interesting character indictment. isn't pride one of the 7 deadly sins? i know i know--i've got other deadly sins i should be worried about. hmmm...i know a lot of people who climb a lot of days every year who have never climbed rainier. we've got a lot more going on than that. it's hard not to have fun at your expense. you're just a comedy in and of yourself. when something is funny it's just hard not to laugh.

Or: "Don't brag to the big dogs about chasin' pussy when the mere thought of it makes you piss yourself." this may be PotD

hmmm...seems to me that there's a whole bunch of other forums on this board with a whole lot of posts about recent trips to a whole lot more places than you've got in minnesota. and what do all those posts have in common? they're about climbing. here's the trick chaps, we've got a sense of humor. the entire existence of the climbers on this board isn't climbing even though most of us wish it were. we'd probably still laugh and have a sense of humor if all we did was climb. try laughing out loud sometime chaps. it feels good. go for it.

welcome aboard chaps. see you've found that you just can't stay away either. since you felt the need to point out other's poor gramar and spelling, i'd like to point out that in your above post it should be "his mother" rather than "he mother". unless you have a gender in minnesota that the rest of the world doesn't know about?

i still think it's funny that chaps thought we'd care how much crap he posted on the board.

before we get started lets save the permit debate for another time. i'm not a big fan but we're going for a week so we got one. my question is this: the permit we received says we're supposed to enter at the stuart lake TH and exit via Snow Creek. does it really matter? do they screen this stuff at all?

i think carolyn and adventuregal should be admired for being from minnesota and managing to have a sense of humor. laughter is good. btw-thanks chaps. i'm laughing at you not with you.

oh good dog! that's some of the funny shit i've read in a while! talk about spittin beer out your nose funy! brilliant! hey chaps welcome to the board. come back anytime.

And, when in excess, both are unnecessary and detract from the climbing experience. what's life w/o a little excess?

hey all, i think that this particular example may be a bit extreme as there is plenty of beta out there. BUT everyone has there own comfort level and enjoys climbing in different ways. the tone of the whole thing was such that only one approach seemed correct. llarry will do it as he does and newbie will be comforted by lots of info. there's points on both sides and remember there is more than one way to skin a cat.

my ire wasn't specifically aimed at you although that kind of spray could probably stay in spray (funny tho it was). i just think it's wrong when a bunch of hardmen w/lots of alpine experience make fun of this type of post. there's plenty of climbers out there who have much limited repetoire. althought the best part of an alpine adventure is the adventure, i can understand some guy thinking "hey beckey says it's 5.7+ that could mean anything from 5.4 -5.9. I lead 5.8 pretty comfortably but...." he alpine adventure makes it a little more daunting to screw up. i'm sure this novice is wanting to make sure he's choosing something he's capable of climbing safely. some folks are not as bold as others.

no thanks, other people have that handled. what i meant is that it all sounds a bit like bunk to me. good grief when we take things like orgasms to finite scientific conclusions it sort of ruins the whole thing eh?

oh good dog this is the lamest orgasm discussion ever!

hey geniuses knock it off or spray in spray. cbs said the guy who asked was a novice climber. maybe y'all were bold and brave as novices but i'm sure there's more than a few that aren't. just b/c larry calls is it a crag doesn't mean some guy on his first "alpine" outing will feel the same. wankers, the whole lot of ya.

i owe someone a cam b/c i couldn't clean it. alas, i left it for someone else knowing that i won't see it again. imo opinion that cam isn't "lost" per se so i didn't post it in this forum. i know right where it is. i chose to leave it there.

i'm pretty sure i was drunk most of the time i was 20. climbing everest is probably a better use of time. i'm not sure it's more fun though. hey whatever floats your boat right?

my sect is full at this time. if you'd like to put your name on the mailing list please e-mail us a granola@liberaltreehuggersrus.org we'll help you deal with your feelings of alienation at that time. in the meantime we suggest buying a windshirt and putting stickers on the bumpers of SUVs.

no that's the hex thread

listen, i know that none of us wants to think we've glossed over a racist comment. let alone admit that it never occurred to us that someone might be offended. it certainly didn't dawn on me when i read the post that someone might be upset by it. my knee jerk response is "oh lighten up, you know what he meant and it wasn't meant as an insult" that said, it certainly doesn't hurt to be made aware that somethings are still insulting no matter what the intention was.

it's ok to admit that you miss us e-rock. we know you love the big group hugs

oh who cares. this is just strategic problem solving. tree/ no tree whatever works.

i could embroider it on your pack for you so you'll have it where ever you go

passive pro is a good thing. i love wc curve hexes. they seem to place a lot of different places. sometimes they're a better choice than a nut. i think they're easier to place than tri-cams. that's just me. as mentioned before. i'd rather bail off a hex than an expensive cam!
