Has anyone heard of any scams being done by inmates from King Co. Correctional? I had a message on my voicemail - it was a collect call from an inmate. The dude asked for me by my first name. The voice wasn't familiar and I don't hang with convicts. Now I 'm sure he coulda gotten a list of numbers from the phone co. if they do sell 'em - my number is unlisted. I am really perplexed by this. Unless, one of my friends really is in jail . . .

Oh, I guess I graduated to a "miniwanker." Hmmm, that just doesn't seem to fit. . .

I think I may be a "gaper on board" too.

Forbidden W. Ridge is a great climb when in shape. We simulclimbed or did running belays the whole climb and in boots too. Not difficult and very fun. It is the descent that takes some time. Rappelling isn't a good option because it is so low angle. We downclimbed the whole route. Make sure you are solid on your downclimbing skills, or it could take some time. One of my favorite alpine climbs though.

I found a cache quite by accident on Mt. Si. I was bouldering on the haystack and found a plastic container with the cache momentos and a wooden box that held some ashes. Must have been someones pet. The cache held a notebook, plastic toys, beer coasters, matches and the like.

uh, you do know that the original meaning of hump day has nothing to do with sex, right, so y'all get your mind outta the gutter!!! We are halfway to the weekend (over the hump, hence "hump day"), which means that we all gonna be climbin' soon!

I always climb or run a lot harder when I am ticked off. For me, it feels really good to release the stress of that anger with a good physical workout. Although, gym climbing can irritate me even more if it is too noisy or crowded. But outdoor climbing is soothing and the cranking is much better. When I am really ticked off, a good, hard, long run makes me feel depleted and strong at the same time. Hope your day gets much better, dryad.

Hey, hey, hey it's hump day, shouldn't we all just be happy? It was fun last night. But we shoulda played more tunes.

Yep, he's been one of my faves to listen to for awhile. If you like Nick Drake, you may like one of my favorite local musicians, Damien Jurado. Jurado does and amazing cover of Nick Drakes "Pink Moon."

Sure, I will take a U for $50, Pat. <I 'm sure if I did f myself, you'd want to watch.>

definately the Sloop! Love those big ass beers they have. Let's go boulder at Stone Gardens first!

Go ahead and smoke and drink, no matter what anyone tells you, it is a part of training. where's the tokin' graemlin????

Hello gentlemen! I would like to know how many of you shave your nutsack? Yeti, I like the bath suggestion.

another vote for Seattle! I have been looking forward to attending my first pube club. Ooops, pub club. For some reason I can't get pube out of my head. Must be the 'shaving" post sending me subliminal messages. Is someone working the jedi mind trick on me?? Tomorrow, we drink!!!

Dudes, if I reveal this little fact, it may ruin the surprise for any future sex partners who may be lurking around here.

When HE wants to cuddle and talk afterwards. When HE is not in the mood. When people answer their cell phone in a restaurant or in a movie. When people mistreat animals and children. When you are climbing and the guy on a neighboring route is shouting up to a newbie climber every single F*&^$^g move to make. When a group "camps" on a couple of routes - leaves their topropes up all day and you never get a chance to climb it. Happens at Smith all the time. When one of your party of 3 cancels at the last minute on a glacier climb, for no reason. I have climbed too many glaciers as a party of two. When people feel it necessary to shove their opinion in your face, and you could care less because you loath them no matter what they say. Planning an alpine climb during a really bad mosquito or black fly hatch and they swarm you all day and their is no escape. THAT IS WORSE THAN SNAFFLEHOUNDS GETTING IN MY PACK!!! I'm gonna go have a beer. . . .

I love it! Fun climbs galore!!!

I don't think anyone could have capture the essence of the evening so beautifully, UT! I wish we were doing it again tonight!

It was fun to meet all the people that I did! Great time! I left at 11:45, around the time the guys started talking about how hard it would be to cut your arm off with a pocket knife. But never saw a cop. The slides were great too. I will be going to Pub Clubs now that I have finally met some people!

I will bring some veggie burgers and hotdogs for non-meat eaters.

Yep, I will be there for sure. Bringing veggie burgers and stuff.

Shin Ramyun Korean Ramen "Hot and Spicy" Where can I pick this up? Being a freelancer who is mostly unemployed, I could use another good cheap food option!

I need more people to climb with. I basically want to be out climbing every weekend. I haven't been out too much yet this year - spent a week at Smith Rock, been up to Little Si and a couple of nights at the gym. I do lead trad and sport, but am no rope gun. I am into glacier climbing and those lovely alpine routes, too. My main focus has been waterfall ice climbing and have also done some gorgeous routes on glacier ice. Reid Headwall of Mt. Hood, North Face of Mt. Baker, Fuher Finger on Rainier. Would like to make some trips up to Squamish, down to Red Rocks, over to City of Rocks. Male or female partners, doesn't matter. (I'm a chick.) Let me know, we could meet for a beer if you are in the Seattle area. I am a fun, easy going person who just wants to climb!

a.) Don't have a husband, but because of Trask's reply, I think I would prefer my SO to not climb with other women. b.) My relationships with guys who don't climb, don't last very long. I say it's better to be involved with a Climber. Most definately! c.) No problem, I will just teach him to place pro. I am sure he'd change pretty quick to the trad side. Anyways, I have the correct "goods" to dangle in front of him, if he needs any convincing. Thanks Trask!
