Taller than the tallest corn stalk in all of Minnesota.

I love you too. You want to come over and watch the Care Bear Special on Tivo tonight? BTW, I actually down-solo campussed the west ridge adding a down-sit start from the summit. In winter.

Should be a sweet trip. If you get a chance, its worth being a semi-touron and go hiking in Yellowstone to see the Tatonka and all the elk and maybe a wolf, etc.

Tee hee. But you didn't tell me what type of windshirt I need or how I can be a hardcore cool-guy climber like you and climb the West Ridge of Forbidden TWO whole times.

That's so core, could you tell me what type of windshirt to use for this climb?

That's your opinion, and that is a valid one. But I don't think that it automatically gives you (or anyone) a license to bolt such a route.

Unfortunately, I think this type of shit is becoming more and more common. Seems to be happening quite a lot in the Icicle and other 11worth areas. While I enjoy and respect a well-bolted route, most new routes (put up or put "down" as the case may be) that I have climbed here have bolts near available natural protection. Some routes are worse offenders than others. For example, look at the route "Orange Peel," a very cool 10b trad line on Careno Crag (which Kramer gives 0 stars BTW). Someone bolted a not very good sport route that crosses over Orange Peel and shares the finish. However, the sport route developer placed a bolt right next to a perfect hand rail crack with perfect gear at the place where the routes intersect. A Bolt on an already esatablished trad climb with PERFECT gear!!! What is even stupider, is that from there the sport route and trad route finish up via an akwark roof / fist crack move(very cool)that requires gear to protect anyway!! I wish people who are into crag development would think a little bit more before they drill.

As if. Mike already raped their kayaks and rode off on their woman.

I still get "old REI" flashbacks from shopping at Value Village on cap hill from that smell.

Pushup contest?

Ha! Standard laws of meteoroligal weather and climate science don't apply to Sky. I think in the depths of the subterranean secret UW physics lab, he's invented some 5th Force-based flux copasitor high-pressure ray gun he uses to keep weather clouds from within a mile radius of him.

Complacency: I can't seem to get any. Can I borrow some of yours?

Is that why all those hippies were driving around with those funny shaped plastic balloons on the top of their subarus this weekend?

Thanks for the unsolicited and completely useless information about the two easiest routes at Index.

Maybe donny developed sick dyno skills trying to escape from the Cops.

Sneakers and

Or a conehead helmet to deflect any potential falling debris.

I think its OK, I doubt there's a lot of black people in Norway.

I'd let you borrow mine but I might need it on Sunday.

Ass-gaurd is clearly easier right now. There's currently a lot of deadfall on Snow Creek trai. Colchuck Trail is pretty much dry to the lake and ass-guard is all snow, which would make for easy going.

I'd say:

My heroes have always been cowboys.

Private, YOU BEST UNFUCK YOURSELF!!

Its closed, Dean, its closed.

Its closed until July 31 for Raptor Nesting. Sorry.
