Hey that's one of my old profs! He's actually a climber from New Zealand. He's got all sorts of crazy pics in his office of him climbing with OOOld school gear back in the day.
Remember: rappelling is the most dangerous part of climbing! If the anchor fails, you could scrape your arm!
I find that when in town I'll rappel down stairwells and inclines, and if I can't, I have my partner belay me so I can carefullly downclimb.
Cheer up Minx! I work with a bunch of ugly, fat (Seriously, they're gross) incompetent, xenophobic, reactionary, knuckle dragging, mouth breathing morons.
EVERY DAMN DAY.
I feel your pain.
I almost hate to describe it, but here goes:
Front butt is when a person's so damn fat that their disgusting fat bellies sag in their pants and it looks like buttcheeks. AAAAHHH!!!!
Personally, I don't think a person's Body Mass Index is a reliable indicator of whether or not they are a good life partner. Only REAAAAALLLLY fat people bother me. I draw the line at front butt. That's too fat. Eeeewwww..front butt's gross. Yek!
I'm outta here swing bags! FUCK YOU ALL AND HAVE A PLEASANT EVENING. You guys ALL crack me up.
Seriously, you all crack me up. i hope we all get together and party one day. That includes you Trask.
Or enjoyed Freedom kissing,
or had Freedom toast,
or enjoy Freedom impressionist painting,
or have Freedom wine.
Oh wait, Congress had a huge hand in that.
I hear that. The first time I was on part of that trail was when I hiked from the Gorge to Sisters. I remember being very hot and unhappy busting my huge pack up Zigzag. Gear cache...hmmm that's a not a bad idea.
Bummer about the knees. I was kinda thinking about doing a 2-3? day trip in a few weeks. Sounds like it'd be reasonable for an overnighter or two, or three, or four?
Knees. Ouch.
I'm STILL reading The Making of The Atom Bomb.
and Fatland. I also surrepetitiously perused a few snippets out of the new Lynn Hill book at my girlfriends place. heheh.
Damn, I gotta finish those.
