its no surpise at all that this picture is now my new desktop

Nope, these are the classics, just bringing em back to the top for everyone's enjoyment, but mainly for iain cuz i know he likes em

personal lubricant is gear, but i guess it's aid also.

i've had this neato army chopper land in the reosrt parking lot for the 2nd time today. its governor kulongoski or whatever his name is touring the savage fires, PLAB!

astro? KY? ear wax? discuss.

skies are pretty clear today, the smoke really wasn't near the 3 sisters wildernes, the plume just looked like it was coming from that direction from my location. a army chopper just landed in the parking lot, looks like some important dude was getting a tour of the fire, kinda neato

that smoke plume was frikken wicked yesterday PM. I walked outside and it looked like b-top had an ash cloud coming out of it. This morning it is no longer around. camp sherman got evacuated again though

well, i can't offer free beer like TG, but old mt bachy is looking for some design savvy folks who might be interested in a work-trade for season pass/tickets/gift cards. i have various projects in mind, but ideally making some new designs for specialized web sites (kids, xc, snowboarding) and perhaps some flash shite. if you are interested or have some ideas, drop me an email at tcrawford AHT mtbachelor daht com

is this the girl power of cc.com thread or something? almost %75 of the female posters have responded!

most excellent! i think to improve on the time/route it might be better to exit green lakes via the brokentop trailhead, thus you don't loose some elevation that you had to regain on the cascade lakes highway. wazzu we doin this next spring but we're doing it on skis beyotch!!!!!! nice work though, that is quite an adventure! did the smoke get to you guys at all? man that much smoke and that much scree, a true orygun epic

SOLID! Instead of checking out dat fine lookin choss, I was laminating flash cards and putting shit up on classroom walls with fun tack.

ain't that the truth but remember, there is always love to be found in the alpine environs:

misery loves company huh! indeed its just a case of mis-avatar identification that i believe started this all. some avatar thinking that admins are some other avatar, while this avatar called timmy was out staying the fuck away from avatarage in the avatarless backcountry What Would Extremo Do?

the site won't go away, even if jon and myself were to crash and burn or get eaten by my dogs, i'm sure someone else would pick up the db and the spray would live on. the reason for my post was just to say how fucked up i think things are, i mean, this is an effin internet message board, peeps need to put things in perspective sometimes, and i myself am doing just that. just stepping back, looking at things from a distance and sorting it out in my head. i think anyone on this site could easily find out where i live, my home phone number and possibly my credit history, when i lost my virginity (if i have it still for that matter ) and could dredge up my puppy porn fetish.... its not that that bothers me, I just am saddened that i'm just trying to help make somethign good happen here, and such suck can come out of it. if anyone wants to chat bout it, you know how to get in touch

Thrashador, though I haven't met him, is indeed plab. He takes good pictures, and is a dog person, need a I say more, oh yah, he ski's.

yesterday I was flipping through some old pictures on my computer, and I came across the pic from a trip up sahale arm that jon and i made back in 2000. it was on that very trip that we came up with the hairbrained idea of setting up this website. I was green, a total newbie climber (not saying that i'm any good now), had taken the mounties beginer course so i could get up some mountains that for some reason i really wanted to climb. So with my minimal web site skills I decided to help Jon out with the project and well the rest is history. Over the past 3 years we have watched this site grow beyond what we ever expected it to be, have made friends, drank beer, attempted to thrutch up climbs, spent money, spent time, and mostly had a good time with the dot com and the fun shit that has come along with it. We don't make money off this, we don't get mad groupie love, we do it for fun. I personally have enjoyed learning more about web site programming, and I have become a better climber through the site, and the friends/partners I have met through it. To me, the dot com is about fun. Whether its having fun spraying, sharing pictures and stories, sharing a beer, or giving a belay, the site and climbing should be about having a good time. I'm not a hard man, never will be. I'm a pussy and not a very good climber. I get out to enjoy the fresh air, see the mountains, have fun, and get back home safely to those I love. So by now you might be wondering why the hell I am writing this.... Well I just got back from a month long hiatus ( i get laid off for a month each year by my work, pretty sweet stuff). During this break I got to go to yosemite, the olympics, and made my first trip to the enchantments. I climbed with my friends that i have met on this very site, and with my friend who I started this site with, it was a great time save my car being broken into at the snow creek trailhead. But today something has changed, and I'm really saddened and scared by it. Over the past month we have recieved some very malicious emails to the climb@cascadeclimbers.com inbox. The messages have been rather blunt and have threatened our physical safety. To say the least, it is very disturbing, and not a comfortable situation to be in. I never deny that this site is filled with spray, and we are constantly ridiculing others, but these messages are way over the line, way worse than any other I have ever recieved (and i have been belittled and bad mouthed all over the internet b/c of my actions on this website). So, I'm confused, and a bit sad that the site has come to this juncture. A part of me wants to walk away. To me, its like i've gotten to a route that is way over my head (cough cough, 5.8 crack routes) and I'm not having fun climbing anymore. I'm really not sure what will come of this, but I felt the need to vent, and let the community that is cc.com know what i'm dealing with right now. Perhaps it is time to step away from the site, perhaps the negativity produced here outweighs the good, i really dont' know. If i've ever unkowingly stepped on anyone's cybertoes, I apologize, but never thought things would come to this. So my friends, and I guess some foes as well, that is what is happening. I was hoping to post a chestbeating TR of my month off, complete with picts of me trying to climb, hiking with my wife and friends, and enjoying this fantastic little place called earth, but instead i'm writing this. Thanks for reading, i'm really not expecting any responses or solutions to my problem, but felt i needed to get it out. Spray On guys and gals- Timmy Crawford
