olyclimber

I think we're going to have to add some sounds and pictures to these definitions.

Semantically, it is an interesting problem. There is a strange power in the word "climber" that sets it apart from "hiker". There is a boundary that people have set, and everyone seems to have set it convienient to their own situation. I call myself "olyclimber", but do I deserve such a lofty title? Am I a mere "olyhiker"? It has been said on this board that you must "climb" more than two time a week in order to be a "climber". Others might not call the DC a "climb". Still others tie "climbing" to fun, and an increase in fun is leads to an improvement in your climbing ablility. Defintion: climb n 1: an upward slope or grade (as in a road); "the car couldn't make the grade" [syn: ascent, acclivity, rise, raise, upgrade] [ant: descent] 2: an event that involves rising to a higher point (as in altitude or temperature or intensity etc.) [syn: climbing, mounting] 3: the act of climbing something [syn: mount] v 1: go upward with gradual or continuous progress; "Did you ever climb up the hill behind your house?" [syn: climb up, mount, go up] 2: move with difficulty, by grasping 3: go up or advance; "Sales were climbing after prices were lowered" [syn: wax, mount, rise] [ant: wane] 4: slope upward: "The path climbed all the way to the top of the hill" 5: improve one's social status; "This young man knows how to climb the social ladder" 6: increase in value or to a higher point; "prices climbed steeply"; "the value of our house rose sharply last year" [syn: rise, go up] So, based on the true defintion of the word, they were climbers. Whatever you call them , I'm glad these people are ok, and that would be a heck of a time to spend two nights out like that.

squid, you really know how to pay a compliment, don't you. almost as good a crooning a karoake ballad.

That would be cool. Also, if you could maybe work with them to get some decent exhibits for once, I would really appreciate it.

I see Harry Pi, the Ethical Genius of CC.com has wieghed in again. Another outstanding contribution Harry! But you seem to be taking yourself a little to serious these days. Ease off on the green tea, and sit some zazen. Let go of the anger inside, poseursan.

Hopefully they're fixing that lame entrance to the Art Museum with this expansion. Those grandiose stairs leading to nowhere are so retawded.

Well, if they signed up for extreme sports, what did they think they were getting into? This Pilchuck must be a pretty difficult climb. I assume they survived by eating thier ten essentials? Glad to hear these extremophiles made it out ok.

there were about 200 people sleeping in that lot the other weekend, most of them kayakers. The Alpine Karoake Klub would have nothing to do with them closing it down. We were there to keep the peace and do what's right.

Keep the yucks coming! You fellas and gals are too much!!! Taxing this and that! Peg legs! FUNNY!

I see the evening shift is arriving.

We'll send some sherpas up to fix ropes along the whole route and setup a geodesic hanging bivy tent around the small tree at Two Tree. Then its on to Library Ledge for crumpets and tea. Meet you at the Post Office Squid?

There is an edit function you can use the change your posts.

I believe he has sworn off the postal service because the MySql server crashed.

Actually, I have a Curta. And they always want me to levitate the X-wing fighter, dumbass!

Pachouli oil tax ought to raise enough money for Orygun to pave the whole state.

of course, i'm just a shriveled up green geezer, so what do I know.

Another way would be "bowel wrenching"

ya....you and Darth Vader could sweep a beauty pageant for sure.

ya... .tif .wmv a few others. you need access to my ftp server again?

You're just jealous because no one has asked for pictures of you in various stages of undress yet.

I'll probably be up by Leavin'worth on Sunday. Maybe have a nice picnic on Library Ledge after climbing up at a leisurely pace. Take the rubber chicken for a stroll, etc.
