so, you're OK with people placing gear and falling on it, but they shouldn't dog it because they might not have set it right.

can someone please give me the clif notes for this thread? Kimmo s involved. Is it about vaccinations????

Pulling on gear makes the baby falcons cry.

Stay the course!

At least we can rest assured that you guys are on top of the hard questions of our time! another few pages and I bet we come to consensus!

Nice! I spent the morning racing my bicycle and had probably my best race! Now I'm three deep into a nice Belgian.

i just got off the phone with lance. He says you're all a bunch of wankers. Except you, porter. He thinks you're a lovable scamp.

? I don't remember him promising to not prosecute marijuana farms. I remember something about not prosecuting medical marijuana patients or something. But I don't believe that's what this article is about. I read it, and while California is pretty liberal, I don't think the guys cultivating these farms were cancer patients.

and don't call it a "jamb" like people on summitpost do. that's just retarded.

Cashmere peak is a really fun scramble, too, and in the same neck of the woods. Great views. WAY better scramble than that cascadian bullshit.

Suck it up. Tape gloves are a gateway drug. They lead to hand jammies.

lately, everything is 5.scary to me.

I can imagine. Take care, Brian. Yr a good man, I hope we get to climb again.

I had to convince my gf that there aren't really that many messengers in the seattle area.... if I rode a track bike around wearing tight jeans, would I finally be cool?

Hmm.

There are way better scrambles out there than the Cascadian, Josh. The cascadian is to scrambling what a nasty, toothless whore is to beautiful women. Sure, you can tell people you got laid, but in the end you'll just hate yourself. Have you climbed Mt. Pugh? That would probably be a good day trip for you.

Josh should listen to more Slayer. That would help.

spam this thing is a train wreck

it sounds like his parents have already been posting on this thread. SNAP!

lol, you guys r so patronizing, it's pissing ME off. lolz, u sure know a lot. God damn I'd be pissed off if somebody I never met talked about me like that, like he knew my whole fucking psychological profile. Youre a god damn shrink, aren't you? God, you sound like a wanker in that post. Josh is too much of a dumbass to stand up for himself, apparently (Josh, you really do sound like a dumbass) so I'll say it myself. You're all a bunch of douchebags. Suck it.

sick! I'm totally in. I'll start training now!!!

poor kevbone

I like Kevbone. He's like one of these nasty ingredients nobody likes by itself, but makes the soup better (somehow). Like the crap they put in hotdogs.

The problem is that you're holding these guys to a higher standard than the rest of us. They aren't any better. By many accounts, infidelity is extremely common. Everyone I've ever been with has cheated on me. Most people I know have been cheated on. I hate it that people hold these guys up like some kind of Religious Icon, that should be void of all fault. Humans are generally pretty fucked up. I've done lots of stupid shit. Many of our greatest leaders have had seriously conflicting personal issues. It's not a matter of whether it was right or wrong; it's a matter of relevance. Where do you draw the line? If you expect your leaders to not have personal flaws, then you're constantly going to be disappointed. I say it's better to just judge them on their performance at work. I don't get judged at my office on any personal transgressions; why should they? If they're doing a good job, who cares what they do behind closed doors? If they're doing a bad job, then get rid of them for that -- why dig up personal garbage to bolster your case? Use their poor performance. If their personal transgressions cause a negative effect on their job performance, then you shouldn't have any reason to NOT nail them on their poor job performance. Why bring up the personal at all -- UNLESS THAT'S ALL THAT YOU HAVE? I'm sick of people expecting these guys to be paragons. Religion is dead. Haven't you heard?
