Hey, let's go climb some stuff. Trad. Leavenworth? Index? Alpine? WTF. I've got the whole day. PM me

i wonder what else he can do with that shovel.

that guy next the the heineken bottle looks like a gay Dolph Lundgren

sucks to be that guy who's car is stuck on the other side of the slide.

This is a bunch of horseshit. "World Class Climbers" often die the same way your friend could die. Rappel errors (Todd Skinner), Avalanche (Anatoli Boukreev), Bad Pro (Göran Kropp) etc. These world class climbers may have undertaken bold adventures, but in the end they died the same way any of us could. Being a weekend warrior doesn't make climbing any safer -- especially if you still "crank rediculously hard." Just my $.02

Me Is that too narcissistic? Just being honest. You fuckers were probably all thinking the same thing, anyway.

This statement doesn't make sense to me.

I was gonna yank it out with my nut tool but he wouldn't let me.

well...it IS a pretty funny video though. "It's hardcore." "Fucking hardcore."

I've never been to Tieton. The angle is pretty steep, isn't it? I mostly learned to lead at Leavenworth and Index. The second pitch of Givler's Crack is, IMO, an excellent newbie lead. The pro is outstanding, and the jamming is like sex, and the fall is clean. I grin from ear-to-ear every time I lead it. Ditto to the 5.6 handcrack on GNS. I thought Gibson's Crack was also a fun lead when I was starting out. I remember pausing for many long thoughtful moments at the "heinous 5.5 crux"

How many times has this been posted now?

more proof that drugs are harmless and can be used recreationally. more proof that drug prohibition isn't solving the problem.

I have a feeling I'm taking a turn for the worse. Maybe I should take a few days off.

It is?

Ooh, too bad I already called in sick yesterday (and came in today with a tan!)

What's the story with this climb? Anybody done it? Kramer doesn't have a lot of info, and I can't seem to find any info on the interwebs. I'm assuming it doesn't get done much.

Those of you calling in sick, don't forget the sunscreen.

I call dibs on the Icicle. You can have Tumwater.

Yes, and DEFINITELY stay out of the icicle.

Reminds me of a funny joke: "How many people work in your office?" "Oh, about 50%"

Dude, no offense but that advice is a bunch of crap that will get somebody killed. Plently of people have OD'd on heroin while snorting it. It's bad stuff all around. Also, I would never recommend anybody use it "recreationally." Sure, maybe some people are able to use it for a week or two and then drop it without another thought, but for most people, the potential for serious long-term addiction is very real and quite debilitating. Why play with fire? Or why tell people that heroin is fine, just do it in moderation? Pretty poor advice, in my opinion. Which is weird cause you seem like a cool guy. Just my $.02 and all. I think all that shit should be legal anyway, so knock yourself out, it's no skin off my back. Have you ever gone through a heroin withdrawl or seen one?

I'm sorry, but heroin really has to be injected to fully appreciate it.

I quit my job once for two years and had a great time. Spent lots of time in the backcountry and lived in Australia for a while. Spent all my money. Came right back two years later to a better job with higher pay. Go figure.
