Quit flirting with him Archie or next thing you know he'll be pulling your pigtails. Well, unless your into that sort of thing of course

Quit flirting with him Archie or next thing you know he'll be pulling your pigtails.

I once watched 6 consecutive hours of Southpark. Boy did that hurt!

Yeah, but only because he's into that sort of thing

Can someone post pictures of the impending catfight? Should be good entertainment for hump day.

Leavenworth would definitely be the place to go if the weather is reasonable. If the weather is bad in the Seattle area keep your eye on Smith Rocks. It's about a 6 hr drive so not too close but it's much drier. May up here can sometimes be fantastic and sometimes wet as hell. Frenchmans Coulee and Tieton both have some reasonably good trad as well but aren't quite as nice, convienent for camping/hanging out, and have slightly lower quality routes than Leavenworth or Smith.

Chuck's roundhouse kicks cause sonic booms which tends to irritate the local camels, and he is an animila lover after all.

When Chuck Norris has a headache he roundhouse kicks the nearest person in the head so he's not the only one hurting.

You can't have a whole lot less experience dry tooling than I do! After all I'm up to a whole 4 evenings I think! Anyone who's interested is welcome.

And a lot of people have looked at your gear placements so you know they're solid.

hmmmm, what we need is more victims! Any other poor suckers want to go fool around on real rock? I just found out there's another set of anchors off to the left so there'll be a new route to try out? Otherwise next wed. should be fine. I'm trying to actually improve my rockclimbing and strength so will be hitting the gym on Tues./Thurs. But Wed. will be great. So any other takers? Tanstaffl? Rocnoggin? Olymtnboy? Alex?

Poor bastard. Crystal was nice on Sun. A bit icy but sunny in the morning!

First off, ignore all things Drul says.... second... yep, find someone experienced to analyze your pro placements. Spending some time leading sport and/or leading in the gym is a great way to build "head space" Getting calm and comfortable even when your well above your last piece (bolt or gear). For my 2 cents, this is the hardest thing to learn. For the gear, spend a day or two out at Leavenworth and just place every piece on your rack and any rack you can borrow, twist pull on, add a sling and stand on them, as well as have someone else critique them all. Mock leading can also be useful for getting the mechanics down. (Set up a top rop, then tie into a second rope to drag behind you. As you climb place your gear and clip the trailing rope.) Once can start doing it safely just log mileage! Lead everything you possibly can at any grade! Have fun!

Any chance we can shift it Wed's or Mon's?

Take him to Tieton and make him lead First Blood. It's only 5.8 after all

Fruit: Huckleberry, straight unadulterated huckleberry! Meat: Mince-meat, home made with vennison! Haven't had it in years though

You have Ice! No fair!

as long as there are climbs there will be dirtbags!

I guess i'll throw in my 3cents.... BBQ is thin but DFA, your bein a fucking whiner... I managed to not kill myself when I had only led a whole 1 pitch of 10a crack and no 10a sport. Inca Roads is mighty stiff at 5.9 but am I have to go with Tangled up in Blue at 5.9. That fucker kicked my ass last time! I felt slightly better when smoot gave it a 10c. at 5.8 Dogleg is brutal, it's shorter, but harder than Classic. However neither is as scary as First Blood at Tieton. fist crack my ass. 5.7 P1 of the Cave Route on Concorde. That transition between cracks scared me to death! Awkward, insecure, thrutching! 5.6 and 5.5 Anything at these grades at Tieton is significantly harder than what i've seen at L-worth, Smiffy, E-38, or Vantage. Double Trouble always feels more like 5.7 than 5.5.

You know, there have been 2 male nude statues and no boobs yet! Talk about lacking equal representation!!!

I think I honestly fell asleep almost every day, in almost every math class i've ever had (which may not be quite as many as Gary, but still quite a few)! It was very humbling the first day I had a student fall asleep on me though I started out a bit insulted, then I realized how ammusing it really was! Best piece of advice i've heard is to remember that as the instructor, your more interested in the topic at hand than anyone else in the room!

My attention span is a whole 15 minutes, after that I get twitch or fall asleep. I wonder what the record for most college courses that have been slept through by a single individual, it would take a certain balance of being a sufficiently capable student to succeed while sleeping through classes, with a high enough guilt complex to require going to all classes, coupled with a very long period of time spend taking classes.

He didn't do so well on Chinchilla either

Much fun was had by all even though we got a bit wet! We had an even 4 people so watch for Meteor's tomorrow night. I brought home the North Wall Hammer that's been sitting at the base of the crag, since before Christmas. If it's yours give me a quick message with a description and i'll get it back to you! Lost and Found Link

There's been an old north wall hammer at the dry tooling crag on Highway 900 in Issaquah, for at least 3 weeks. We left it the first time but I grabbed it yesterday evening. If it yours send me a quick description and i'll get it back to you!
