1995 called, they want you back.

I can't tell what's going on here.

I tried to one-day this in June of last year, made it to the the bottom of the route before it started raining. There was lots of snow but no ice. Didn't take or want snowshoes or crampons. I don't remember whether I had an axe but I don't think it's important either. Hiking poles are probably a good idea.

You placed a #2 zero on a free climb?

being late for a quickie is even worse than being early

I tried to place the yellow zero on saturday and it was no good. In that placement the gray TCU was the BOMB. THREE-WAY

I knew js once and I forgot it. So...

I once taught my girlfriend to aid on the approach pitch of Thin Fingers. In hindsight it was a shitty thing to do. On the other hand, fuck all y'all.

whew, i was just considering learning javascript

If peanut butter is outlawed, only outlaws will have peanut butter.

Why aren't we hearing more about this? Kinda makes your blood run cold.

The other dude in your party was pretty glad to be hooking all over the fourth pitch...

Kevbone is the Spray King Midas. Every thread he touches turns to crap whether he's trying to do it or not.

I think placing cams at Smith can require some experience since the cracks are so rarely parallel, if a cam rotates or walks it can go from good to bad immediately. The route looked like it had a pretty thin crack lieback type section. I could easily see a sketched novice making a bad purple TCU or FCU placement.

...so do that and you'll be able to claim the first hookless ascent.

On Friday at Smith Rock, I witnessed a ground fall while roping up at the base of Ginger Snap. I heard an exclamation and looked to my right in time to see a figure in a blue jacket fall from a ways up the route, down out of sight behind a boulder. After standing shocked for a few moments I told my confused partner (he hadn't seen anything) that we needed to untie and get over there. We found a girl who was, remarkably, only slightly banged up. She seemed to have fallen down a small gulley and was totally lucid although couldn't remember how she had fallen. On the rope when I got there was a small Metolius cam that had pulled, and it looked like the fall might have been around thirty feet. Her partner definitely had his wits about him, and very quickly another climber from nearby showed up and proclaimed that he was an EMT, so I was happy to just get out of the way and let more qualified people handle the situation. Witnessing a fall like that is a very strange experience. Very spooky. I was extremely relieved that she came away from it in such good shape. Maybe this relief is what allowed me to find such humor when I looked up the route description later in the day: Friday's Jinx 5.7 R This sinister route put a half dozen people in the hospital during the 80s. Oddly, the rock is solid and the protection reasonable, but for unknown reasons gear-ripping falls are a common occurrence on the first pitch... Does anyone else find "for unknown reasons" to be really unsatisfying? I guess sometimes you feel the R and sometimes you don't... be careful out there.

If you place pro, you will use it.

Now we know you're lying.

DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR DEFINITION OF IS IS

I'd settle for no longer having random people come up to me and ask me to make their computer shit work.

or "snacky" actually you should explain to me what "snacky" means.

Have you guys considered how totally awesome stay-at-home moms are? And totally underappreciated! The next time you see one you should thank her for raising her kids.

I bet if you took my base salary and tacked on extra theoretical pay for all the shit I do while I'm not at work (I wash dishes, clean house, work on my car, repair my home too), you'd get a number bigger than that. It's just not a valid premise.

I'm not sure you're saying YOU have implants, but... People say stuff about it? That boggles my mind.

listen to deth meatal it's intence
