minx

i've got the cloudveil work gloves. i love them. let me just say that again...i love them. great glove. they were cheaper than the marmot when i bought them but i don't know about that now.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002068417_webstorm20.html this story mentioned there was a solo climber rescued. hope it wasn't lambone and if it was i'm glad it was a rescue not a recovery.

i for one would feel so much better knowing that the Shrub is working hard to defend the freedom of japanese climbers to freeze to death on el cap. where's fox's solid journalism when you need it. i hope that, in spite of horrors of bad journalism, YOSAR is able to help all those stuck in that crap weather.

you know everclear and kittens is one thing but clearly the crack and goats takes this post right over the line to spray. tsk tsk tsk

Snowbyrd, We finally got our buts over Teiton a couple of weeks ago. We went to royal columns. There's a ton of stuff you should be able to follow there. I liked it better than vantage. The cracks seemed to take gear better. I had less of sense that my gear was about to be "spit out" of the crack. The ratings are definitely more stout than vantage. We went on a Sunday and the place was pretty busy. I wouldn't count too much on getting away from the crowds if you choose Royal Columns. Perhaps some of the other areas thought. We'll definitely be going back. It's a great place to go for a day of moderate crack climbs.

sorry but no matter what the letters say, i'm always the bitch and iaxx couldn't even lick my boots. my man doesn't listen to vanilla ice!

nahhh, unlike so many girlz, i've never really had a thing for gay men. he'll have to ask cracked. he wants to know if you can send him your complete duran duran collection.

this thread ceased to be a real fight before it even started. it's just not right to watch someone get kicked while they're down. no handover those boys2men tapes to iaxx. he needs some tunes to get him in the mood for climbing at PRG

iaxx, i gave those to you. remember how you begged for them? i think rumr has some boyz2men tapes he might give you.

no, iaxx, it's from the one you borrowed from cracked.

i have worked for 2 companies that provided a few hours to go vote. i think it's a great thing and more companies should offer it. small perk but a useful one. i just love the idea that my vote is going to cancel out some right wingnut's

i got my absentee ballot last night

has anyone in WA received their absentee ballot yet? i got one weeks ahead for the primary but haven't received on for the general election

i think there's so much variability in grades from place to place and route to route that it's hard to compare 5.8 jump to 5.9 and 5.10a to 5.11a. recently i've glided up some 5.8 pitches and then climbed a 5.8 that had me whimpering for my mom. a few days after that enjoying some 5.10a and 5.9 pitches. no matter how you want to try and quantify it in your own mind, there is no way to avoid the subjectivity in grades.

as a bulk response to the people who have PM'd me. i did not register minx on ascensionist. pretty funny though that someone finds it worth using my avatar.

neither i don't vote state elections based on my position on abortion.

i am flaming liberal but christine gregoire scares me too much to vote for her. i don't vote gender usually. nice to see that WA has a woman as a choice but i can't vote for her. lets not forget that the fine voters of WA elected a woman gov way back in 1976.

this is probably true. i don't think anyone is as inane as you.

i think i'm going to register as iaxx

it didn't need my help. still in the top five. i'm going away now. have a nice day iaxx

sadly, i wasn't even the one who deleted the post. i haven't logged on to the board for 5 days. i'm shocked that this pathetic topic is still close to the top in spray. damn people

cbs- please send trask my undying affection and then asking him what moderation i've been doing? i haven't banned anybody(not that i don't support it) and in the last month i've deleted precisely one post.

well kids, i'm taking my proverbial football and going home. i'm done with this thread and this site for a few days. if any of you have concerns about the bannings or anything i've said here or elsewhere you can take it up with me via e-mail. i may or may not get back to you in a timely fashion. thanks for the entertainment the last few days

that seems like a real mature position for a moderator to take ya know, i was just trying to make a little joke out of this thread. the fire was in full flame before that.

greg, he may have added some very good insight into the situation in iraq (which i appreciated). He let his own personal agenda run away with him. (no i'm not talking politics) I cannot fathom why you and fairweather seem so intent on putting this off on political views. it's not about that. if that were the case you'd have been gone for good long ago. so would fairweather for that matter.
