who the fuck cares

Bullshit, Private Pile. They are equivalent. And while we're at it, allow me to equate rap bolting with sward swallowing......ooops, I mean, aid climbing. That's right. Yes, yes! Rap bolting = aid climbing. Both require equivalent amounts of athletic ability (very little) and subatomic quantities of Courage....oh shit, was that an upper-case "C"? Aid climbing = crude engineering (in the words of Dick Cilley) = sport climbing (which doesn't even start from the bottom of the cliff..technically, it ain't climbing). man pope, that is some serious harshness. good grief that means at least half the climbing i'm doing recently doesn't count and i should probably go slash my wrists or something there's a place for all of it and don't even wave the enviromental impact card. that's a different albeit similar debate which i'll mostly concede. last night i "climbed" (what's the term you want me to use if i didn't start it from the base of the cliff? ) a route that i could not have climbed if we had not built an anchor and dropped the rope. Sorry....i was pushing myself guess i should quit doing that eh? Part of the route doesn't take gear well and yes i AM afraid of falling. So unlike your polite counterparts in this debate i won't be. you're wrong...it's climbing and it's good.

is that what they're doing? i had no idea i thought they were just hugging my mother is usually mortified by my life but oh well! how does yours feel about your dancing hello kitty?

so my mom decides to come over this evening. b/c of this i decide to forgo a trip to little si and climb a bit of rock closer to home. mom arrives before i do. i come strolling in looking like one does after a little bit of climbing and i happen to have a small cut on my knee which is bleeding a bit. this all leads my mother to proclaim that " you must be loonier than a shithouse mouse" (quite a statement from her since she doesn't swear often) so i'm wondering what other really bright things people's friends and family say about climbing.

well trask thinks i'm very good.... so i suppose that means it's all relative looks like little si.

well that depends on who you ask now doesn't it. we're arguing about the where to go and be bad right now.

hmmm...i'm on the way out the door to go clip some bolts. i'm going to have fun. does this make me a bad person?

i dunno....i didn't ask how, i asked why.

why? just to piss you off! www.howstuffworks.com

he should make the right decision for himself regardless of what his girlfriend thinks he should do. notice: i said the right decision NOT an easy decision. This is his loss to deal with.

greg's pulling a trask

i said it was girly and froo froo which is not my drink of choice. gin and tonic or scotch rocks

best girly froo froo drink i've ever had. vodka, 7-up, grenadine and cream...topped of course w/a cherry.

trask, you're my hero

i kinda like the boys. too many women in one place can be dangerous.

thank you iaxx!

For me, it was actually the other way around. I saw a good friend take a ground fall soloing. I had no desire to climb after watching him bounce off the deck ... until I saw Muffy on the rock with appropriate gear and the such. my ISO started climbing b/c i needed a partner and most of my friends had "retired" i'm curious b/c i've met several women lately who started climbing b/c of their boyfriends.

why do i find it so funny when "big" philosophical questions are discussed/debated in spray?

"I" is over rated

i'm still trying to figure out what the hell one would have to do at the mall that couldn't be done else where and why 2 days in a row. i can't remember the last time i was at a mall.

this does make me wonder what proportion of female climbers started climbing w/their boyfriends or b/c of their boyfriends.

why? b/c i want to!

had an up close w/a bear the other day! they're awfully big and scary
