yeah, it's too scary when you're confronted with arguments that counter your orthodoxy, and for which you have no compelling response. ya...like you when you forget to go download the conservative talking points from Rove.

weren't able to come up north, eh Ivan?

they are from the holds I chipped out. they make bling bling stones to hang on your fat gold chain.

Sweet. Thanks a bunch Gary!

Ya? Well I'll be selling pieces of beautiful Renton granite quarried from the secret destintation climbing area. harharharharhar. ahar. har.

Where are you at Ken? Are you climbing out all the 8c+ shiz over there? We'll raise a glass to you this weekend.

Tyclimber, for a total experience, you may want to have your brother read the banter above. This is the sort of conversation he can engage in once he becomes a climber.

this could easily be turned into a poop thread. like the one about pooping off of ledges.

List of stuff to pack up with you: 1. TARPS and rope. 2. Rain jacket 3. ice 4. Food to share 5. Mexican wrestling outfit

way to go britney

Chouinard presenting in Seattle

Ack! I need someone to bring a laptop computer for Saturday night! PM me if you have a system we can use for the slide show!!!! Everything else is coming together. After hours on the phone, and friggen amazing support from Steve at TG, the beer got picked up tonight in Portland. MisterE has firewood for us...PM him for directions to his place on the way to the fiesta to pick up a few sticks.

MisterE, we are poolin cars.

The 22nd gets my vote.

masochism is the purist ethic. the human condition is suffering, and true climbing is never about comfort. it doesn't matter if your a puritan or not...you must suffer...then you will see the light. Through suffering, and never through comfort, you will find grace.

Are you wearing CLOGS??!!

fucken gangstas.

good lord, people...its ready and willing wood. be sure to get some on your way there.

Congrats mike on your big climb.

those that cannot do, teach, nor administrate spray on cascade climbers.
