To be totally accurate it was a leopard skin man thong, but I forgot it when I was packing. I really had images of my glorious ascent that went like this: I'm wearing only my man thong, boots and helmet. As I ascend higher on the route I start to get pumped. I take a giant crowd pleasing whipper. As the rope starts to catch me it shockloads my man thong, causing catastrophic failure. The crowd gasps in horror. Children scream, women faint, fade to black.

My dog was down there climbing. She's pretty sick.

Hahahaha, that's good too...

Thanks for the props John, my new motto is "I didn't place last".

Thanks for the info CC... I skied one day a few weeks ago for the first time in three seasons and had a total blast, so I think it'll be a good thing.

So I'm new to the AT skiing thing. My boots will be somewhere in the US11.5-12 size. Does that mean I should go for the XL fritchi freerides or the standard size?

Nice! Good times, good times. Here's a pic of John drytoolin' at skylight:

Still sore over a disagreement about pullups sexual chocolate? What's wrong with you? And Raindawg, way to remain the anonymous internet guy. I'm out.

Okay "Raindawg", I'm the anonymous guy? My name is Bill Amos, I live right off of woodward and se 34th in Portland. I'll PM you my phone number if you want. Who are you? Who is "pope" for that matter? I'm still really not sure how bat hooks and ice climbing are similar, as one hole permanently alters the rock forever and the other creates a hole in frozen water that's going to fall down in a few months anyway. The mind boggles. Maybe calling you retarded was a bit harsh, but then again maybe not considering your response.

You've never ice climbed, have you? So really you have no reason to give input on a subject you appear to know little about. Wow. Ice climbing=drilling bat hooks? WTF? Are you retarded?

Mike is right, it's so much easier (and more fun) to climb without leashes. Leashless is AID.

That's rich!

Bunny face, nine gallon buckets linkup. By far the sickest send one could possibly hope to do in Oregon.

Are you cheating on me Nate? Nobody climb with this guy, he's DANGEROUS! (I keeeeeeeeed, because I love)

ZOMG you soloed in the ice park? You are a GOD!

Pretty awesome, got some sweet climbing in at Hyalite and Vail and now I'm in Durango waiting to be not hungover. Two more weeks of climbing for me. It's been a good holiday so far.

I second that Pete, three times in the emergency room in 06 was a little much. Boooooo. Let's go to Canada end of this month.

Nice, and way to give props to Alkaline Trio, but Tool? Come on!

Dude, it was lame, Ortiz was blocking and got right up, no reason to call it.

I want a giant frog on my shoulder. Where do I signup? Oh, I have to go to Boulder? Nevermind...

No, but it makes it easier?

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Ouch.

yeah dude, they look like that because they're completely separated from the nail bed. They fell off shortly after. I'll let you chew them off if you want to though.

Even on warm days they burn and then go numb. I don't even have close to full feeling in them. This summer at Squamish I put my rock shoes on and after a pitch or two felt some irritation so I took my show off and there was a big pebble crushing my toe. Frostbite is the suck. Try not to get it.
