Si would be faster... I mean, as long as I don't have to carry the keg...

Most glaciers have some icy bits this time of year. I didn't have crampons on the Terror Glacier (S. Pickets) last weekend and that was a mistake...

Cornish game hens are a violence perpetrated on the working class by THE MAN, those gaddamned fukin' evil conservatives. Somebody needs to toss those toe-sucking dwarves out on the street, so those dirty sonsabitches may reap what they sow. Oh and, galoshes, bitch.

Shit people you realize you're all participating in a certain beer company's ad campaign...?

[TR] Inspiration Peek -- North Face (3rd Assent) 8/16/2004
ashw_justin replied to G-spotter's topic in Spray
oh and if you did, then sorry for the big doodoo pile I left on the summit... didn't want any extra weight on the sketch rap anchors... -
Far as I know There's a 5.9, .10b, and .10c at WW... whereas I prefer to flail and hangdog on the 11's there... That first area with all of the .10 faces, a couple 5.8's, Goddess, and even a good-looking crack, would also be a fine place to go clubbin'

What about epo, et al.? Don't you just love the taste of pharmeceuticals in the morning? Or will this been a "clean" ascent
-
Yeah I want to see RuMR go off on NEW WORLD (and put up some 5.14 topropes)

That's it, I'm calling CPS!

hey, who let the baby into the bar lastnight anyhow? Oh I just told them I was looking for my mommy... "Yeah, that's her over there..." bwaaahahaha!!
-
Yeah, I want to see these old guys and gals () in action! hahaha

I'm going to claim the bike-assisted speed record circumnavigation/traverse of Mt Marrymoor (rt from Seattle). The traverse was all free-solo, objective hazards like topropes and distractingly hot climber chicas were perilous, but manageable. I didn't have any timers or anything so I don't know how long it took, but I'm sure it's the record, that is until I go again.

Waking Life, cool vid, high or not

but what if your life is a dream, and cc.com is reality

Dey ain't git enough meat on 'em, that's why. We gotta come up with some mutainted rabbits like dey did wit dem cheeckins, neawh!

Well, you gotta admit that if you reduce the population, it's easier to keep everyone fed! Yeah that's kind of what I'm saying, but it'll never work. How do you tell people who don't know any better to stop fucking like rabbits? I mean what if your life pursuits were so limited that all you can do is try not to starve to death, and fuck whenever possible. And maybe participate in some sort of religion. Are you going to tell these people that not only do they have to live like shit, they can't get some ass either? What will happen is what has happened for millions of years. The harsh principles of population biology are being demonstrated as the limits of our resources are reached. Our population will be self-limiting, but not before shit gets a whole lot worse. I mean, unless we actually do something intelligent, but what are the chances of that?

Yeah WTF if you can't feed your children you shouldn't be having them... I'm sorry, I'm not taking responsibility for that shit. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not championing world hunger... There's no doubt that livestock is a grossly inefficient foodsource.
-
No no, corporations are much too clever to let their pawns make that much dough... I mean, why would GW Inc. want anyone who's not already a multimillionaire to make any money? I made $2.50/hr working as a full-time lab tech in a third world country for 6 months, and over half of that went to rent so that I could live near my girlfriend. Guess what? I still had to pay US taxes on that!

[TR] Forbidden- West Ridge (down NE Face) 8/14/2004
ashw_justin replied to ken4ord's topic in North Cascades
Last weekend I caught some kind of snaffle/rodent creature trying to steal my cookies while we "slept" 3 pitches up a climb with nothing around but ice and rock. What the hell the bastard eats besides my cookies is a mystery... -
[TR] Inspiration Peak- South Face 8/14/2004
ashw_justin replied to skykilo's topic in North Cascades
Oh yeah there we are. I had to check the hi-res version in the gallery... That must have been right at the end of the sketchy broken section of the glacier. We were able to cruise on easy snow from there up to the base of the route. We had bivied at the first camp spot at the bottom of the steep trail, about 3 or 4 miles from the car. That made for a very long summit day and led to us bivying on the S Face. We saw you on your way up to Mac Spires on our way around that small lake, we (mistakenly?) did a high traverse above it on the way in. How was your climb? Were you all (7?) in the same group? -
[TR] Inspiration Peak- South Face 8/14/2004
ashw_justin replied to skykilo's topic in North Cascades
Route highlighted in red: -
Take lightweight crampons for the final 1000 feet. Don't take your nice climbing boots because this climb will chew the sh@t out of 'em. Hiking boots are fine.

Newbies might also want to notice the improper use of the device in this report, specifically the fact that the carabiner is crossloaded on two separate harness loops in the first figure, greatly increasing the chance of loading the gate. As far as the belaying accident, it is wise to attach the unused (large) ring of the 8-device to one's harness (girth-hitch a sling to it and clip the other end of the sling to the belay loop) to prevent the device from travelling up the rope.

Rapping with one rope and a ball of twine
ashw_justin replied to dberdinka's topic in Climber's Board
Hey well as long as you're crazy enough to rap off of hooks, you can just prussik up the rope if it gets caught.
