And if you don't want to got to supertopo: Own a piece of history and help fund the Yosemite Climbing Association! Recently Peter Haan unearthed a fantastic illustration by Steve Gropp of a climber enjoying the benefits that the Hollow Flake on the Salathé has to offer. (The original link is posted below.) During the life of the thread it was decided the artwork would make a fantastic T-shirt illustration. Since I am a glutton for punishment, I took the lead and we are now ready to announce the 2009 Yosemite Climbing Association Benefit T-Shirt! The short-attention span version. Want to help the YCA? Send $25 to the address below before the end of March and get a cool shirt in April. Net proceeds benefit the Yosemite climbing Association. For those more detailed oriented. As I am anal retentive, I am laying out all the particulars in excruciating detail below. If any questions remain, please let me know and I will address them in a jiff. 1. The shirts will have Steve Gropp’s authorized artwork reprinted in three colors (approx. 12” high) on the back of the shirt. The YCA logo appears on the front left breast area approximately 3” high printed in one color. 2. Steve has fully authorized the use of his work for this project at no financial gain to him. So… Yeah to Steve! 3. Ken Yeager and the YCA are excited to be the beneficiary of this project so your funds are going to a cause we ALL care about. 4. The MEN’S shirt is 100% ORGANIC combed cotton jersey and is available in SM/M/LG/XL. There are three color choices (white/black/light blue) as shown below. 5. The WOMEN’S shirt is 100% ORGANIC combed cotton interlock (oooo… soft!) and is available in SM/M/LG/XL. There are three color choices (light blue/black/baby pink) as shown below. 6. Please note! The shirts are a “fitted cut” so if you like your shirts loose, order the next size up. If you have a killer bod and assets worthy of display then stick with your usual size. If you spend your days munchin’ on snacks and Macs then get on a different board! 7. The shirts are 100% ORGANIC COTTON and 100% MADE IN THE USA. Is organic cotton more expensive? Yes, a little, but do you care about violent and abusive child labor as practiced in the cotton fields of Uzbekistan where the vast majority of apparel cotton is produced? Okay, then that’s why I always use organic cotton. Oh, and it feels better, washes better, keeps pesticides out of the world’s drinking water and looks damn sexy! 8. Timeline… This is a fast-track project so you won’t be left wondering when you will get your shirt. I will take orders from today until March 31. All orders that are PAID FOR will be placed on April 2. The shirts will be delivered to you via Priority Mail before the end of April. 9. Costs… The cost of each shirt INCLUDES shipping. Repeat… the price of the shirt INCLUDES Priority Mail shipping and tracking. So, don’t start comparing the cost to a 50/50 polyester blend made in China POS shirt from Sears without shipping included. The 2009 Yosemite Climbing Association Benefit T-Shirt is $25 including shipping. Now, if you can group your orders and have them delivered to ONE ADDRESS then there is a cost savings as shown below: One or two shirts $25.00 including shipping Three, four or five shirts $24.00 including shipping Six or more shirts $23.00 including shipping 10. For each shirt the YCA will receive AT LEAST $5.00 This donation is based on a total order of 50-100 shirts. If the climbing community comes through with a huge order then the YCA will get even more, so… man up girls and boys! Order them for your wife, son, dog, lover, grandparents, Kwanza, Passover, to celebrate August 31, 2010, whatever! 11. Payment terms… I have decided to take a chance and only accept checks and money orders. Since PayPal/etc. will take almost 6% of the revenue it just doesn’t make sense to give them money when it should be going to the YCA. Every PAID order received will be immediately acknowledged with a personal e-mail. Any bounced checks will be immediately acknowledged with an e-mail also. If there is no resolution to this then I will post a nasty note on SuperTopo and the offender will have his bare knee forcibly jammed in Generator Crack while those pesky, smelly Yosemite ants will be poured over his body. Yeah, but can we trust some guy who hates plastic? I am a married father of five who has lived in the same house for a decade and I’m not going anywhere. You have my address so you can always come and drag ME to Generator! (Actually, no dragging will be needed.) 12. Okay, now you know more than enough to convince yourself that your closet needs dozens of these beauties. So, to order send a check for the proper amount to: The Vershke Group 17821 Tamara Lake Oswego Oregon 97035 e-mail: simon (at) vershke (dot) com Make sure to tell me: How many MEN’S shirts you want How many WOMEN’S shirts you want Specify the COLOR choices for each shirt Specify the SIZE choices for each shirt MAILING ADDRESS in the United States e-MAIL ADDRESS for confirmation 13. International orders… Do you live outside the United States? Don’t worry, we can figure something out! Contact me at the above e-mail and we’ll find the most economical solution. Any more questions? Post 'em or write me. Now get those checkbooks out! Fine print... I am going to be self-bumping this thread through March so we can maximize the funds for the YCA. Want to complain? Send an e-mail and request form: #(form number omitted for security purposes.) Shirt styles and colors

I'm pretty sure Rat would also be all over scenting your gear for you too.

HARRY!!!!!WTF HELLO!!!!!! JEEXUS!!!!HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF PRIOR ART??????????????????? http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/869933/VIA#Post869933

experienced climbers know how to properly scent their gear so that their partners will never have it accidentally end up in the wrong rack at the end of the trip.

you mean this artificial reconstituted morning breakfast beverage that tastes just like fresh but doesn't cost like fresh is actually pennies less per serving???????

Sorry Jizz, but Dru only defends his borders. And you're the catcher.

Who is FF Jizzy? Feather Friends bags are made here in the U.S.A.

Three mountain guides are sitting around a campfire deciding to hold up below treeline, out on the lonesome, each with the bravado for which guides are famous. A night of tall tales begins... The first guide says, "I must be the meanest, toughest guide there is. Why, just the other day, an ornery bull elk got loose in Banff and gored six tourists before I wrestled him to the ground by the horns with my bare hands." The second guide, not to be outdone, boasted: "Why that's nothin'. I was climbing in Skaha walking the trail yesterday and a 15 foot rattler slid out from under a rock and made a move for me. I grabbed that varmint with my bare hands, bit it's head off, and sucked the poison right out of my arm. And I'm still here today." The third guide remained silent, slowly stirring the coals with his penis. AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

So this mountain guide bites it in a climbing accident. Of course for all his sin's he goes to Hell. As he is rappelling down through Hell with the Devil to his appointed station he sees this other guide whom he knows that also just cashed in his bingo chips. However he is in the arms of this gorgeous naked babe. He turns to the Devil and asks "What's up with this, how come this scumbag has this beautiful woman in his arms." The Devil turns to him and says "Never you mind, that woman's punishment is my concern". HHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

they were major suppliers of the military as per the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Bauer

OH OH WHO JUST POSTED??? KING A HOLE DECRISTO, THATS WHO!
