my fiancee gave up climbing for 4 years after I tried teaching her rapping at columns, so you arent alone in that. And yea, I agree that that adrenaline shot can certainly be confused as fear. rmncwrtr: try to focus on your "8 foot bubble" while climbing. nothing else aside from the rock exists outside of that bubble while you are climbing.

I suspect they have been sharing their secret

sorry, I showed up late and missed everyone I guess. "THIS WAS ONLY A TEST!" the next one is for real. hows about Wildfire tomorrow night? (loc. above) 7:00p I will wear something climberish. Mebbe my OSU Mountain Club shirt if it is clean.

(Dont mean to rag on you) but I am always surprised to hear how many climbers are afraid of heights. I know several who keep coming back to it after swearing off climbing in the middle of each previous outing. Funny phenomenon.

The only spices needed are pepper, chili pepper, powdered garlic, and salt. They improve anything.

ok, I am restarting the attempt at a pub club. I noticed Cascade Lakes has a locals night on Wed evenings. 2.75 pints. Anyone in for this wendesday? If not, when?

Anyone read the rock & ice this/last month where gear guy addresses the question "where have all the climbing hippies gone?" One of the funniest articles I have read in that magazine.

I was up there sunday and it looked like some stubborn SOB got about 5 turns in below the ramp recently. I feel sory for him/her lugging skis all the way up there.

Well, the lady is back from a month abroad for a week (and then to Peru for the rest of the summer) so dont count on seeing me at any bars until next Saturday. Perhaps we can work this out for next Sat.? Gaper, I might be able to be there at 7 on thurs but I will probably have to leave early.

one of these for sure. Nice work Frieh

I gotta say, it amazes me that folks dont epic more with this type of ignorance(might be the wrong word). It is those strong gym rats who have just enough power and knowledge to really get themselves up shit creek w/o a paddle. If the conversations above are gibberish to you, read the climbing chapters of FREEDOM OF THE HILLS and learn how to get yourself out of trouble.

ok, I want to meet the yokels in Bend and try out some new bars. I will claim no responsibility for the bar of choice (good or bad) because I dont hardly know which ones to avoid but lets git to discussing a time and place. Thoughts? I am free tomorrow evening and saturday too probably.

cant wait to see the results (its probably going to be a little disturbing what folks were climbing on too)

I'd say yes to a face like that...

to get back at the original post. Rocks fall naturally. Bolts do not appear naturally. If the rock is gonna fall eventually because of natural forces, whats wrong with helping it along a few years early? Plus, I like things that go boom!

can someone photoshop in a cutlass in his teeth. it would be a little more fitting.

posting for a friend: he thinks he might have left it in the parking lot. It is a shiny new mammut. I can provide more details. lost about 2 weeks ago.

sorry for the late reply. I got my questions answered from those with the knowledge. I definitely do work for the Forest Circus but I am certainly a climber at heart first and would never give up a crag to "the man". Speaking of pub club, are there any happening in Bend / how do I organize one if there isnt?

within 15 minutes of downtown

While doing trail work for the FS, I found a crag near Bend with some really snazzy lines. Went there with a friend last night and tried it out. I was wondering who to talk to about the area. And no, it isnt meadow camp area (though cheers to Freddy and the other guy who are in the process of replacing those wiggly ass bolts)

About an hour or two after my GF read this exact post and I explained what a daisy thong was, I was instructing her on how to clean anchors in her room and what does she do? Puts on her harness with the daisy chain right up the middle. Now this is the first time I have actually seen someone model a daisy thong and I just about died at the irony of having just shown her this post. Chicks love their thongs!

Casaval looked great. we almost did it. Talked to some guys who were on Hotlum last week and it sounded fun too. This was a really nice climb. At the end, my partner said, "I didn't feel like I was going to die once!" and "I didn't even swear off mountaineering this trip!"
