Must have been rough- sitting at your computer-waiting all weekend for everyone to get back from climbing- so you'd have some human interaction-huh!!?? Hah, I went skiing yesterday. What did you do? Did you ?

"The Wittle Crying Kitten "

Don't be throwing spin on this. I am not taking the high ground here and these two threads certainly aren't about me. You got a bunch of grief from others in this thread for speaking your mind. You then asked the question "why not?", and I tried to diplomatically say that the method used may have been a little heavy-handed and perhaps a more subtle approach could get the same message across without ruffling feathers. You took the high ground and turned this into a soap box rather than just giving her back her anchor and mentioning your concerns directly to her in private. Amen, bro.

"........." I'd provide a rebuttal, but it's not worth it. Bye bye, asshole.

Um, I don't know either of you, but I believe that your assertion, Mr. Lambert, is incorrect. Ehmmic went up to try a climb in the rain. As an emergency backup, she took a few pins. She got overcommitted, and pulled out her emergency gear: the pins. You , on the other hand, went to climb Glacier Peak, gambling on weather, and failed to bring emergency gear (ie rain gear). Like Ehmmic, you got into an overcommitted situation, but weren't prepared to retreat. She was. Yes, you didn't have too many options. But dying on Glacier Peak in a storm is no different from dying from a fall cragging. Dead is dead. Let me say it again: The correlation is that you were both in an emergency situation that would have been preventable. But she had the gear to save her own ass, while you didn't. Ironic, too, how now you say "get over it", which you failed to do while flaming Ehmmic. It's called being a hypocrite. God, you've got some issues. Go ahead and MODERATE if I hurt your feelings. Heh, too bad this is the Climbers' Board. Maybe you can BAN me. Too bad about your epic, now everyone has material to flame you. So get off the high horse, and try to be somewhat friendly once in a while.

I don't need to tell anyone about your 2 inches, it's pretty well-known from the content of your posts. Tool.

That's an easy thing to do. Do you climb much Lummox? He was on the cover of Rock and Ice......... Back on track: I have noticed that Lambone tends to think he's God. After all, he has climbed such noted routes as the North Face of Chair, Icy BC, and has even climbed in Yosemite!! PLUS he's a MODERATOR, so he must feel pretty important. Right about now, he'll come online, start spewing, and tell me to STFU, etc, etc, etc.

No need: Rescue TR

Except for what DPS is saying.

A pin per year will not do much damage. Here's to Ehmmic for getting down safely .

And you say I'm immature?

STFU Richard Dickhead. Your whining about the moderators is fucking pathetic. Up yours.

You did not delete the post Republican = Totalitarian enactments? As a moderator you should reframe from the use of the fword and the cword and set an example. Anyone that surfs this board knows what caveys about. If I where to be verbally theratened by his avatar I would just sling it back at him. So you whacked his Pee Pee, he has seen enought punishment give him back his avatar. And yes unless it is vulgar I should have freedom of speech. I have my hat and coat , think your man enought to show me the way? Is the "c-word" 'caveman'?

Bullshit. Sorry, I was quite unclear there.

Bullshit.

Ask Dan -.

Caveman can go himself.

Shut the fuck up you stupid moron. I just hope your alcohol abuse leads to an early grave, say, tomorrow.

The Mountaineers must have a Scotland branch. I ran into a similarly outfitted group on the hike into the Bugaboos. These Scottish fellows (really nice guys BTW) brought no other footwear than plastic boots. (This was August and about 70 degrees with no snow in sight.) They managed to climb the Kain Route on Bugaboo Spire in said footwear.They carried two packs. They would hike one up the trail a couple hundred meters, drop it and go back to pick the other one up. Rumor had it they brought an entire ham with them to eat. You gotta be kidding me.
