Dru, you just beat the rest of us to the punchline!!
On a more sinister note, it smells like sabotoge...
A radical faction of the Mountaineers took responsibility for the bombing of a bridge east of Seattle today.
This is the latest in a series of attacks against the "Mixed" climber crowd...
Mixed climbers, a distant relative of snowboarders, represent the latest threat to the 97 year old climbing organization's reign of terror.. A press release from the Mountaineers summarized the violent response to the new climbs:
"These climbs are the worst thing to happen to climbing in Washington since Charlie Bell's 1960 solo ascent of the Willis Wall."
Sources close to the mixed climbers say the damage is not serious, but that several projects may have to wait until the repairs are made.
It is rumored that the mixed group is planning to start "retro mixed sending" many popular summertime rock climbs in retaliation.
"Barney's Rubble is first, then if the Violence does not stop, we will be forced to climb Bruce's boulder next"...
