Owen Wilson: WOW. What a killer TR!

That was a moment of flowery prose, wasn't it! LOL. But I do mean every word. So cool that those guys chose this place to report it. Appreciate it.

That is awesome.

Paring the down original post/thread, there is enough negativity in the world already. Regarding my commitment to support this board going forward, I can only make configuration changes to the existing board software. I don't have access beyond that to upgrade or fix deeper issues. So I'll continue to do what I can, which is pretty limited. I have access to admin the forum software, but no access to the servers or databases which would be required to upgrade the forums to improve things, to fix security issues, etc. Only Jon has that access right now. peace.

Not only that, but this: "He also climbed six of the seven second-highest peaks on each continent." Was only missing K2, which he did attempt.

I just fixed an issue with registration for new users, so if you were having trouble try again. Other issues we will fix...been chatting with Jon, its just a matter of him finding some time!

Getting after it!!

NOICE!

its just quality "me" time! congrats, looks like a great out there!

Sorry to hear this @Cara Ashworth best wishes to you and your whole family

Great pictures! thanks for sharing.

in fact, sometimes there isn't a solution, only acceptance (or denial).

thats a lot of cotton

I would suggest just writing the TRs though. I’m confident it will be fixed and you’ll be able to share them eventually to FB if that is your thing.

Yeah I know I need @jon to help with that one as I mention above. We need to send Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker, to Jon’s house. I just don’t have the access to fix it.

Wow really cold. Sharpen your tools. 14 degrees in Seattle?

Thank you @JasonG we are all lucky to have you here, an incredible blend of alpine prowess and photography that has yet to fail to inspire me. I'm down to Instagram, so I can keep tabs on my son and his friends. But next year my goal to spend more of my "social media" energy here, making this site more useful.

Thank you that was a collaboration between me and my son! I think it the first time we ever did something like that...he is 20 and in college and officially does some things better than ole dad now.

Hey there I just put a little lipstick on this pig and moved a few things around. The site has some bigger issues, but I need @jon to help me with some of them...I just don't even have access/rights to a few things that need fixing. If you know him and love him like I do, I think it would help to reach out to him personally and let him know you still love this place . I know Jon still does too, but life is pretty crazy and can send you off different directions and cliffs...I know he has his hands full, but any psych we can send his direction will help I'm sure. But please send him some love, I know that dude loves attention! To me this place represents a lot of things, but most important to me is that it is a site/community that is not trying to suckle every last bit of personal information off you. It is free, and you are actually not the product. This place is like the early days of the internet, which has now become a weird and terrible place in my opinion (the internet, cc.com was always weird, and sometimes terrible, but in a lovable way.). This place is a throw back to the exciting times of possibility, before the corporations and criminals took it over. So as the arc of time passes, and social media sites rise and fall, I don't know what the future holds...but it has always been my goal to keep the lights on with this site. They are still on. And whilw there are less visitors than in the past (and i'm not counting the bots, nor Dru's or his 50 avatars), we still have high quality trip reports rolling in, people finding climbing partners, and great info being shared. So a huge thank you to those continuing to contribute to the site. We have had some big ballers roll through here, and we still do...and they definitely inspire. But also just the modest and "average" TRs are also awesome. The ones that make you think "I need to go check that out". I would love to get this site tuned up and upgraded and off of shit lists. I don't use Facebook myself, but if you want to share there you should be able to. Keep things simple and running and continue to be a safe place on the Internet way from the data gathering monsters. I think if we can do that, this site will thrive off that alone. I think at some point adding back to local shop advertising to help pay for the servers and forum software, but that is it. I hope you're missing this virus, and if you're not, that you recover quickly. Happy Holiday's and New year. /p.
