olyclimber

I see you've gone off the deepend.

I have my own suspicions.

I thought the good Dr. would be talking about V15, not 5.14! Sorry for the unreasonable stereotype.

I've been working on a profile based on archenemys posts. I believe it is a woman posing as a man posing as a woman.

Ya, but not as fast as the Alpinistic Fox from Olympia riding his girls bike with sissy bars, a banana seat, and tassels.

Well, he climbs with me from time to time. Does that answer your question?

What other medium actually reaches the most climbers to have a discussion about this? Sure, there is plenty of tomfoolery here, but there are also quite a few people that are interested in having a serious conversation about stuff like this (without personal attacks). Mattp and a few others have made some pretty good points about passing and stacked up routes. It sure seems like postive remarks to me. The alternative is to stew in your own juices about the whole thing.

Looks like rain! And I was so looking forward to watching Squid work the crowd with verbal gymanstics.

Well scoe, if you don't have a conversation, then nobody will learn. Anyway the thread was deleted as part of an international conspiracy against polish bob. You can blame dru for dredging this gem back up from that debacle. So it sounds like the guy with the mending ankle is partially to blame in your case. Maybe we can get a post from that party to bring this full circle?

Come on now, its the $500 carbon fiber TTT or Easton handle bars that are all the rage these days. Get with the times!

French freeing aside, you could just as well be blaming the party immediately in front of you for not passing them (and then allowing you to move up an pass them as well). Anyway, this is good stuff!

Thanks to the Italians.

If this method doesn't work, at least you can put the hair on sandwich with lettuce and tomato and eat it.

I was running in West Seattle yesterday when I was swarmed on by a group of women cycling in their logoed spandex. But I'm not going to complain. I have some cycling jerseys that I've found at the thrift shop, including the Coors light jersey and another from some Euro cycling team. I wear these when I'm training for the Giro or the Tour.

seconded.

There is the potential for a nice name calling war with this Urban Dictionary.

Alpinistic Fox From Olympia, I have a cool Coors Light "Silver Bullet Bike jersey you can borrow. Those fancy jerseys actually help you go faster, and then we can start talking about your training regiment for the upcoming Tour.

I can't believe no one pulled up the Urban dictionary on this one. Of course, there is a definition in the waiting for "climber". However, mountain climber is already defined.

It looks like an Alien, actually.

Did you find Waldo? He's peeking over the wall.

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.
