  1. WTB Rocket bike seat. Great condition, this came on my bike but I prefer a different saddle. $15
  2. If you've ever seen that show called Hoarders, then you know what is going on. I need to sell a few things. So I'll list them here. Some may not have prices right away, so make an offer. Prices are below the pic of the item. I'll delete them when they are gone. Note that each item has its own post so scroll down... Ice screws, boots, vintage friends, etc below. Priced reduced on most items. For all items: I am in the Seattle area. I would prefer not to ship, but if I do, you pay for the shipping costs. I can do paypal, of course cash is preferred. Scarpa Alphas with Intuition thermofit liners (both shells and liners are size 11. the shell actually says 11 on one part and 11/12 on another part of the inside): Liners molded once. I wore the boots on two occasions, so they are almost new. $100 $75...you get the shells and liners for less than the price I paid for the liners. Oh, and you get the original liners that came with the boots. They might make great slippers.

  4. This is going to be a BREAK OUT YEAR for the Mariners. See you at a tournament or two this year Peter? Ulee's team is looking pretty good, but the level of play is going up everywhere and good new teams are emerging. You all doing Peewee Reese this year?
  5. Seattle doesn't need fixing! Its so perfect.

    Thank god! Imagine how boring the world would be without secret societies.

  9. More than likely it is your enemies fault, repudiating all that stuff you said about them. Times, seasons, people, fashions, habits...they all change over time. And most things are cyclical. What this site has is a great historical database of Trip Reports that continue to trickle in...and sometimes they pour too. What some of the other social media sites unfortunately lack (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, your blog) is the community that a site like this can give. Where people who don't know you and you never met can read about your adventures and be inspired...and vice versa. A site like this is designed to bring people together, not to showcase one person's adventures. I guess if you're trying to "go pro" or get sponsors...or if you have already achieved that, then a blog makes great sense: a place to toot your own horn under your own terms and you can delete responses that don't suit your point of view. Unlike Facebook, that cute girl/gal you recently friended isn't on CC.com to read about your latest exploit. Neither is your mom or aunt. But if they were really into climbing they probably would be here . This is a community that really is focused on a single set of pursuits. If you aren't interested in climbing/skiiing/boarding, you're probably not here except to troll those that do. And people are here because they are passionate about these things. And they want to connect with people who share that passion. A community like cc.com can be a place for debate. I know some of you might think that isn't the case, that we try to shape the site to particular users and particular points of view....but we haven't. We have only attempted to keep the dialogue relatively civil. Case in point is there are still several diverse points of view posting in this thread. Though Jon (and of course Timmy), and I have like many of you been stretched thin by our jobs, families, and other interests, we have always tried to keep the lights on with this place because we believe it is such a valuable resource. We hope you do too. We have tried to keep a good/acceptable balance with the advertising and support local PNW enterprises in that arena. But it obviously needs your support to keep it going and relevant. And your friends support too. And we always looking for somebody with some new to say. Something we haven't heard yet. We aren't going anywhere. [video:youtube]zKhEw7nD9C4

  11. Imagine living out your life as a bitter, tired old man. Man that would suck. What you need to do is breath in some fresh air and find some positives!
  12. Its been a while since the WTO. But weren't all those anarchists from Eugene?
  13. You gotta post a pic. I just want to see what it looks like!
  14. I was disappointed that Paul Allen doesn't have time to buy the mariners to complete the set of professional teams. I hope some with cash to burn and an interest in really competing buys the team sooner than later.
  15. I was already down there over the holiday, so its a no go for me. There is a small chance Ulee will play up on a 13u team that will be in a tournament down there during spring training, but we'll see.
  16. we are definitely evolving.
  17. one trained sniper is all it takes. build your bunker deep.
  18. fittest or perhaps the one who best wears an ascot or cumberbun.
  19. we're all gonna die.
