Prolly the placebo effect... Nobody has to tell you you don't know shit Lighten up, Francis.

I thought about becoming a vegetarian once. Not because I love animals, but because I HATE VEGETABLES. (*cough* ba-dum-cha-ching)

Prolly the placebo effect...

Not all of us. However, when my youngest when in to get her 2nd round of vaccinations, they were about to give her the WRONG ONES. Luckily, my wife took her to that apt and caught the mistake. Not sure what, if anything, would have happened if she had gotten the ones for round 5, or whatever they were about to give her. Of course, we are just supposed to "trust the doc", right? WRONG!

I'll take the strep, wit a side of diphtheria, please.

Veganism is largely an unhealthy lifestyle. the recetn craze here in camas is unpasteurized milk - uhhh, wasn't there a reason old louis was hailed as a genius for his little idea? Dude, don't knock it till ya try it. I thought the same till I started drinking the stuff. It tastes so much better, prolly cause it is so much fresher.

Veganism is largely an unhealthy lifestyle. I have some vegan neighbors and although I like them very much, they look like skeletons with some skin over top. As for me, I love animals, they taste GRREEEAAAT! Doh, better go check the roast in the crock pot.

The guy who taught me how to climb back in the early 90's would work as a smoke jumper till he made $20k, then dirtbag all around the world for the rest of the year. He was also very shrewd with his money and did things like take his student loans and invest them in higher earning investments. Of course, investing is another form of gambling, so he did not always come out ahead on those deals. Most of the time he did well and was able to pay back the student loans and score a chunk of cash to boot. I did the seasonal thing for a decade when I was in my twenties... Spent my summers in Denali and my winters in the ski industry. My favorite time of year was between seasonal jobs and I was once again "homeless and unemployed". Ah, the good ole days. Just be creative and open to the opportunities that present themselves. Sometimes our grand plans are not realized but we can still succeed if we go with the flow and make something happen. (IMHO)

Can someone just shoot this thread already? I try to look away, but it's like that retard causing a scene. Ooops, not PC. I mean it's like a bad porno . Doh, can't say that either. It's like a bloody train wreck, I can't stop looking.

Healy's Horror?

Yeah, I climb it on gear without clipping any of the P1-p2 bolts quite often. I rope-solo it so often for the same reason as FFA up to the tree - yardage to get or stay in shape. I can whip out there and jam up them, run down the trail (in the case of YW), and be back to work or home relatively quickly and still get a decent overall aerobic workout. Fair enough if you NEVER clip the bolts. Otherwise, is see a bit of hypocrisy in ZERO sport climbing at Beacon.

Um, Joe, I'm just wondering how you climb Young Warriors so often if you are for ZERO "sport climbing" at Beacon? Seems to me, the general consensus of what makes a route a "sport route", is usually the fact that it is all (or mostly) bolts. Do you just skip all of them and put in all natural gear? I'm sure Jim would have a lot of reason why pitch 1 on YW is not a sport route, but I think the general consensus would conclude otherwise. Still, a great pitch, for the grade (IMO).

Tyson, next to the past 24 hours there is also the "Spray Free" version. Maybe that will help. But yeah, those threads are pretty out of control... I'm headed out to play myself now that the chores are done.

Hey Pink?

Simple solution is to click on "Active Topics". This only shows topics and not all posts in any given thread. I set my page to open that way.

Holy Bacon Batman! I can't even keep up with the spray unless I devote 40 hours a week. I left the house pretty early today and spent wasted the rest of the night catching up (well ok, toggling while depositing checks/paying bills on the other screen). This thread should surpass the stupid cats in a few days at this rate. I think Larry is onto something here. Thanks Larry. OK, carry on.

What "The Ospray" said was one of the best posts in this whole fiasco but it's been virtually ignored. Truth hurts, eh? P.S. Ospray....bro...drop that stupid "the best climber is the one having the most fun" quote...it's a superficial cliché, it's meaningless and it ain't true. aloha, Raindawg. Speaking of unsolicited lectures...

ding. Ah, yes. Of course... But the real mystery still remains. Who scored Ken's bran new #5 C4 a couple summers ago that was stuck on on the section above the crux? Maybe it was a number 4?

ding. Ah, yes. Of course...

Expect severe winter conditions, especially the further north you get. If you don't already have 2 full size spare tires already mounted on rims, be sure to get them. Of course, you will likely already have winter survival gear (warm sleeping bags, winter boots, gas stove, food, etc) but get that stuff as well if you don't. I'd 2nd the stop at Liard. Even if you have to detour back down south a bit, it is well worth the trip. Last time I was through there about 10 years ago, it was a full moon with amazing northern lights and beautiful steam coming off the water. Certainly one of the most memorial nights of my life. I think we were the only people there that night too. Have a great trip!

Smoke Signals? or Rhythm Method? Which was red hot?
