damn it! am i right??? where's my cookie? ok there it is!

Peace, 1906, Roosevelt

i've had my firewood delivered. it can snow now!

boys boys boys! we had a good thread drift off this over evaluated topic going! come on get with tthe drift!

Come on! Where's the thread drift??? We had thread drift going!

Thread Drift: My boy can crank. Anyone getting on 12c's after climbing for all of 13 months gets props from me. that kid can crank!!!! I was there watching and they didn't even post a picture of his best move.. Distle and whirly are both awsome crag buddies distels not bad for a boulderboy you're right, his best move wasn't posted (not that i have a pic to post) #3 was a pretty good crag buddy too. even distel's prana babe was pretty cool YAY thread drift!

that's sooooooo not true. you surpassed all of mine. then again i didn't have any " math is hard "

so effin true! fuck that... fall madly in love and have wonderful relationship!

don't get my wrong... that is not the kind of reltionship I seek. My only point is that there is someone for everyone. wasn't making that implication. i dunno maybe that'd work for me, i haven't tried it. just saying that it's all about what works for you.

wow- such negativity! even from erik. heck my point was just that there are differences and that's a cool thing. lets all quit trying to be the same. i don't want to give advice on how to be in a happy relationship to anyone. my perspective of a happy relationship only applies to me. nope, obviously, none of my relationships have lasted forever. dats OK. just b/c they weren't what some of you are looking for in terms of marriage and forever doesn't mean they weren't special. like muffy, one of the happiest couples i know has the whole role reversal thing going on. someone said we're making this too complicated do what works for you. i am and it's making me happy

men and women are different....in sooooooo many ways. this is not a bad thing! equal means the same. maybe instead of equality we should strive for balance.

good thing you're not a woman

me too...not the alaska thing, just the harem

has anyone seen my ass? smithy handed it to me after all that nummy beer friday night and i think i dropped it while i was clipping a bolt super fun time! like ehmmic said, thanks to all you ropeguns who put up ropes on stuff that i climbed

someday i'll get some technique but prolly not for a while. until then...the first 2 moves for me are way harder than they look...but so what? it's still a fun crack!

and if those hands are locker for you

yep.. those first couple moves suck!

the sole shouldn't come off that quickly. good luck w/the nikes iceguy, do you run in your merrells or just use them as an approach shoe? i've always found them so stiff that i couldn't run in them comfortably. nice approach shoes for me but lousy for running.

it's time for the NEW OVER 18 FORUM

erik running shoes are designed to last about 400-500 miles. if you've exceeded that, it is time for new shoes. all the brands you've mentioned are reputable. i've put many miles on adidas. you might try mizunos. that is the shoe i get the most mileage out of. minx

hey beck- you might be a tad clueless or not have a certain perspective on this. i leave my phone ringer off but i do take it with me. at least once this summer it prevented my mother from calling SAR over nothing! i was 6 hours late...this is nothing...and i've told her 24 hours but my nervous mother wouldn't have waited that long. i called it prevented a needless effort by other people i get signal in a surprising number of places. i have a child and yes if that phone rang an there was an emergency with him i would bail out of any climb/trip as fast as possible. you better believe i take it with me. i don't count on it to save me in an emergency but it could be a useful tool. so to all of you "keep the cell phones out of the mountains nazis" all i can say is

whatever i may think of bolting stuff for mixed routes, the alpental valley is definitely not pristine. there are herds of people trapsing through that area everyday of the week year round. frankly, if this is going to be done locally, alpental is probably not a bad choice.

jon, i've been good all day and haven't deleted a single post of mine. can we have the new forum(s) pretty please? maybe i can moderate it have a nice day

i'm pretty sure that the only answer to lifes enemas is NO
