BIG LOU climbs Rainier from the bottom up, not the top down. End of story.

Yet another extra-large picture of Mr. Layton submitted by himself. Moderators, please move this topic to Spray.

I saw the Ramones at the Whisky-A-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip, c.1978. Never had seen or heard anything like that before. Lot of pogo-ing and slamming going on. The Ramones were just getting to be kind of famous...only paid a few bucks at the door to get in. Liked them....went and bought their album shortly thereafter. This one: They sure got a lot of action out of three chords!

Back off, Feline/Avian Chair! I'M LIBERATED NOW!!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh! "And furthermore..." "Hey Catbird....get your 5.7 butt into the kitchen and make me a sammich!" "Look! There's pictures of girls in the new edition of "Freedom of the Hills!....are you licking that spoon again? Back off, you little freak..." P.S. The '50's were what they were. Lots of people found life pleasant back then and some didn't. Our present society sure is lame, confused and violent!

NOTHING BEATS THIS ONE! ACTUALLY, IT'S A REALLY GREAT FILM AND ONE YOU WON'T BE EMBARASSED TO SHOW YOUR KIDS.

Check out this impressive video of young Mr. Thomas Caldwell free-climbing the Nose's Great Roof on The Cap'n. bigUpproductions (Click on the "Extras Section" and then "The Great Roof".) Pretty good action, but it's dang distracting hearing the shrill voice of his belayer (his wife?) yelling, "yah, Tommy, yah....yah.....yah.....yah.....yah.....yah, Tommy, yah...yah....yah....yah..." Maybe's he climbing fast to get out of hearing range, yah?

Global warming has been taking place since the end of the last ice age about 10,000 years ago. Back then, the sea level was 300 feet LOWER than it is now and parts of North Africa were savanna-like with all the accompanying critters. If humans are a factor, they might at best be accelerating the process. Look at the history of the Pleistocene, a series of glaciations interspersed with interglacial periods...we might just be in one of them interglacial periods in advance of the next cold one. So start buying your one-piece down suits while they're cheap and available. Ain't that sporty?!!! Here pope....another picture of your favorite topic:

Abbie Hoffman died something like 15 years ago. He killed himself by taking a massive dose of downers. He was a BAD [meaning negative] influence on me during my youth. I finally met the guy a couple of years before he did himself in and I didn't particularly like him. “I was probably the only revolutionary referred to as 'cute'.” -Abbie Hoffman Take a look....you decide: Younger Abbie: Older Abbie. What do you say, girls? Cute? Or is there something alluring about a WORLD CLASS SMART-ASS???

Hey Ivan! Your test results are in! Look what the lab found in your "sample": GO AHEAD, HAVE A LOOK!

I say we stop the whole blackberry update topic. Someone should put a remote webcam on the bushes near the "parking lot" and then those who are interested can take a peek and decide whether or not to hop in the car with their little buckets. "Eeeeeeeehhhh!!!!!! I usually eat more than I take home!" Whatever. Here's a real rock-climbing topic: when you're driving to Index, do you ever listen to The Captain and Tennille? (you know, to get yourself all worked up for moss-covered adventure?) 2nd 2 NONE!!!!!!

"You rope-people stay away from my winter food supply source, ya hear?!!!!" "Why don't you expand your subject material to include a special forum on berry-picking. Then all the berry-fairies can have a place to hang out, discuss their acquisition strategies and prance about while pretending to be interested in rock climbing. That's how I'd handle the situation."

I've seen one of them. It's just a young critter...larva stage you might say....but it grows into one of these:

Close-up: P.S. I wasn't aware that womens had bowels nor utilized them in the traditional fashion.

"Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?" Click here and take a peek...if you dare!

Childish is childish...how do YOU choose to respond? In a like manner? Or something a little more thoughtful and sophisticated?

I meant "charity" in the sense that they are willing to give things (books, etc.) away to people who are interested in what they might have to offer. Like that kooky Mother Theresa! I guess we'll all find out someday!

I read the hijinx on how to rip-off Focus on the Family. It's about as immature as those folks who "rent" their prom-dresses from Nordstrom's and use the easy return policy to get their money back the next day because "it just didn't fit right". It's a violation of the spirit of their "charity". That ain't protest, that's childish, and although it might make you feel good, it won't change anyone's opinion. The same folks who do this sort of thing might tell you that they're all about free expression....as long as it's their particular perspective. You don't like the stance of Focus on the Family? Contribute to or participate in some group that supports your own perspective and if you can sway enough folks, maybe things will go more your way. Ordering their free stuff as a joke or selling it on EBAY is like people who trash political signs or take stacks of campaign literature of an opponent and heave it in the garbage. That's as self-righteous as the guys you don't like. Childish, I say. Here's some folks sharing their different viewpoints: Here's a couple of guys discussing the issues: Here's a young lady with some creativity:

Lycra is so passé! This is what the really good climbers are wearing today!: As you can plainly see, the banana-hammock also seems to attract the babes like fruit-flies!!! See ya on the crags!

Anybody seen my woman, Amber? She trolled this site a few years ago and got all kinds of interestin' offers for personal climbing instruction from the single guys, the guys with girlfriends, the "separated" guys [= wife is out of town visiting parents] and the married guys along with invitations from the climbing "sista-hood". Last encounter, her breath smelled of gri-gri and she was heading for the wind-surfing chatroom. Hotcha! "Hotcha!"

You're unlikely gonna want to use those skis even BELOW Camp Muir: 2.5 miles of dry trail followed by 2.5 miles of teeth-rattlin' sun cups.

I don't know where Chachi is but perhaps this Halloween costume will help you find him: Or maybe this young lady workin' on a basket can make you a new one:

AND THE BEE-MONKEY SAYS: "Hey Sport! You write a little report like that, you can expect a little ribbin' from the hornets in this hive! Bedduh luck next time!" SASSY PARTY BABE SAYS: "I like-ta schwing! wid Bridge-Bjumpers!
