Kids are cool and all, but I'm soo happy I'm only 19 Take your kids out climbing and get them interested and then Mom can't get mad if she doesn't climb.

Yeah those fuckers are strong. I sucked big time, climbed too much too early. Almost flashed problems that were 70 points higher than problems I couldn't do in 4 tries later in the day. No big deal though, had a great time, check out the dyno pics I posted in the gallery, and got a chance to see all the seattle boys! Now on to Bishop in 29 hours!!!

All the E's new names: Wirlwind = Rapist Van MisterE = Fancy Rapist Van Erik = Hotbox can't think of any other good nicknames

Yeah I don't know what it is about titanic, took me at least 10 tries to do it. I flashed that V4 that started off the undercling though Another Squamish sandbag: The Weasel, please tell me somebody out there has tried it! ssoooo hard

Ok well the comp is tomorrow! Who is competing???? I'll be wearing a red shirt that says "CITY HEAT" so if you see me please come up and introduce yourself if we haven't met. I also have three tattoos on my legs so you really can't screw up with who I am, gross neck beard and glasses But please post if you are competing so I know who to look for!

by the time i'm done w/ that rope on that route, he won't want it!!! i just figured he wouldn't know what to do w/a rope. Oh c'mon now minxy!!!! I haven't been bouldering since september! only sportclimbing! I'm dying! thats why bishop is coming up

frosty you know Jenny jo right??? ARe you in anthropology 210???

You are indeed a pal Rudy! I know you can crush that route, and you know it too.

really? can I have your draws, pad and maybe shoes?

I don't know, she bailed on Bishop because she didn't want to try and get a day off lame in my opinion I'll call you when I'm in town this weekend They are big pebbles though You know you want to send that problem Rudy!

damnit rudy, it is 16hrs not 12! and we are going for 5 days so it won't be that bad

That's not sandbagged! It is one or two 10 moves at the begininng then .8-9 to the top. Titanic in Squamish, hardest v3 ever!! Quasar at Smith Only if you aren't a crack climber though. Darth Maul at 11worth is at least one graded harder than stated.

Smith!? BAH! Come to Bishop with me and do some real cranking Rudy! Good luck on the proj though! is Ian going to be working it with ya?

Whatever dude, that is bullshit. SG's problems are soft, and their setters don't no shit. Like I said in my previous post, at SG it depends on who's route you are climbing. I did indeed say some are soft. But if you climbs ISM's, Ionie's, and Ryan's, they are not soft. Also depends on if you are trying their v2's or 8's

You need to drink more beer my friend... HELL NO! I think I'm the only college kid who doesn't really drink. Makes you fat! fat doesn't translate into sendage my friend!

Depends on the routes you are climbing at SG. Some setters are good and their problems are harder. Some setters at VW don't know shit and their problems are hard because they are bad. I had oppostie experiences at the comp I climbed in at VW last june. At that time at SG I was climbing all the 5's and some 6's. After the comp I looked at their point to grade sheet and according to them the hardest problems I did (which I flashed) were 6's. gym grades suck, I've climbed more V7's outside than I have in gyms.

This summer in squamish we said "BANG" a lot, mainly every time you stuck a hold you were required to yell bang as if you killed the hold. Funniest saying ever: It was raining and we were at "Fixing the car" in squamish (very low to the ground roof, really a joke, but it was the only thing dry), Jason had gotten through the crux and was about to make the last few moves and Wes yells out, "Fix that shit yo!!!" everybody instantly laughs, jason loses it and falls and never sends.......

14.5 months ago when I started climbing I could only do one pull up!!!! Last week I knocked off 21, and 12 with just my middle and ring fingers!

Drove down to Joe's valley with a stone gardens posse for 8 days. Ran into some SLC locals that I had met in June when I went by myself. Sent a few problems, watched others send, relaxed in a beautiful setting and shared some good laughs

The beautiful boulders of Bishop Good news: easy access, free camping, lots of ridiculously good problems Bad news: flapper city

sunny granite and volcanic boulders

Matt- Not really close to seattle, if you go to squamish on a weekend during the summer you will see lots of people just living in the chief campground all summer bouldering. the forest is busy every weekend. If you go up during the week though it is fairly empty, and if you go during the winter you'll be by yourself in perfect sending temps! I'll post some pictures from the Bishop campground after these next two trips down. It will be busy down there for the holidays. Yeah landing zones I think are damaged more than just cleaning the moss off. But most of the problems we cleaned up at goldbar were overhanging, thus the landings were talus and we actually didn't hurt any vegetation. And some of the boulders are in a clearcut, so you know. Places like Joe's Valley though trails are a huge deal because of cryptogamic (sp?) soil which takes thousands of years to grow and can be destroyed by stepping on it. I'm sure you now about that though. mmmmmmm buttermilks in one week...........

hell yeah

I know you can crank saturday at stone gardens

Bouldering is fun fellas!!!! no bolts, lots of falling, flappers...........good times.... Coming soon to a talus field near you, the CC.COM Boulderfest 2004! I better get on this and start planning it with the pimp daddy himself Timmay
