Will eating Kashi improve my yab-yum?

The WH and bolts anchors are all there, with a few dings. One of the TS anchors appeared to have experienced a bit of lightning strike, but nothing fatal.

At base of Total Soul. Probably deep down in the snow moat. They mysteriously flung themselves down the route, possibly due to a lack of attention.

I piss on your Darrington routes. In fact, I just did piss on some of them. TR to follow. We did Silent Running car to car in just under 3 days; a new record. Look for it under the "Fat Fucks on Slab" title. Have you learned how to flake the rope yet? Geez, man. At least drape it over your belly, or something. Based on two recent TR's of yours, I would classify you as both a pussy, and a danger to your second. Thank God you didn't post any pictures of your anchor set ups! I think I've got a new, virtual "Alpine Buddy".

Mary Magdelene collected the life insurance payout?

Trip: Darrington - Total Soul, Westward Ho Date: 5/17/2007 Trip Report: James (jhamaker) and I went back to Darrington yesterday for a second fix of uncut friction. James forgot the beta, so we got on what we think was Total Soul (7 pitches, 5.11a). Whatever it was, it was a great route on that superb Darrington granite. Correction: we rechecked the guidebook and found out that the 4th pitch that weenie boy here backed down on and that James sent was the 5.11 variation. Kudos to James for grunting that one out! Bolts indicate a route, right? Total Soul (3’Oclock Rock) The base is still shrouded in a snow fan. Recommended for the approach: Paleolithic technology and even older rock shoes Yosemite without the grounds crew. Rapping from the top of 3 Oclock Rock The following foggy morning we headed up the Granite Sidewalk for Westward Ho (5 pitches, 5.9). This is the most sustained, pure friction climb either of us had ever done; perfect for people who’ve lost use of both their hands. James did some fine lead work on this one. Hauling my fat ass up the Granite Sidewalk (Blueberry Hill) Even the people at Value Village weren't sure what the hell those Care Bear things are on James' shirt. Granite Sidewalk Dude, while your fucking with your cordelet, I’m down here freezing my ass off. Pitch 3, Westward Ho (Blueberry Hill) Gear Notes: For the base of 3 O'clock Rock or your uncooperative partner: A stout cudgel. Total Soul: gear to 2.5", 8 quick draws, some slings. A couple of tricam and ball slider placements. Westward Ho: a few small stoppers and cams, 12 quick draws, slings, magnifying glasses. Approach Notes: A bit of snow at the base of 3 O'clock Rock. 2 washes enroute to Blueberry hill, passable by Outback.

Pussy, me? ...The North Face of Shuksan is a Day Trip, chubby. Before you go callin' folks pussies, pea brains, cockroaches, and rabid dogs, you should make sure you can look after yourself properly if you ever happen to "run into" one of them up there. And I can guarantee you that taking three days (!) to hump up NF Shuksan does not qualify you to be talking that degree of shit. Now run along you fat fuck. Glad you also had a good time on the NF. Good route, and a great ski. Can't wait to see your TR.

No, it isn't a "cut and dried philosophy", which is why there are 2000 years of continuing theological discussions on the subject and hundreds of different churches listed in the phone book. Jesus, though, did have standards for morality. He expected people to strive for those standards but he was capable of forgiving people who nonetheless fell short. classy, dude...do your homework about Jesus..."yadda-yadda-yadda" doesn't cut it. And here's another class act by "tvashtarkatena": And he harmed whom with his opinions? The Teletubbies? And, spreading even more hate in case you hadn't had enough!: sad....sad indeed! Raindawg, this so...so full of hate.

Of course he never hated anyone. He loved gays. That's why he wanted to bring them to Christ. Get real, motherfucker. The guy was a world class bigot who tirelessly employed his wealth, celebrity, and political influence to cause a shit load of innocent people a whole lot of harm. The end of his miserable, regrettable existence should make us all breath that much easier. And you gotta love Spray's two most rabid, cement filled tire chained dogs whining about all the 'hate' (which is actually nothing but good old satire and homage to the universe's infinite capacity for farce, but then again you can't squeeze black humor from a pea brain); the same 'poor me' tactics you hear from, say, the likes of Frist et al when their cockroach behaviour is exposed to the light of day. What a couple of pussies. KKK: you join up yet?

If that should happen, fall well, my brothers. Get it???

I wouldn't climb internationally with him. I suspect he's got a nuclear power source tucked away somewhere, and customs would be a bitch.

What does one do when one is atheizing?

Nice route, but I'm kind of wondering why you guys didn't ski it.

dude! what? that's when you *uncage the soul*! Every time I uncage my soul it takes a dump on the carpet.

I'll likely drop in. Depends on how fast my freight car is moving.

Yours? DAMN YOU FENDERFOUR!

Leggo my ego. If I had to choose between you and Jerry Falwell as my spiritual counselor, I'd choose Frank Zappa.

Some things are so obvious as to be absolute truths. Preyz Jebus.

It's the 10th anniversary of the Asian Financial Crisis. I'm already warming up the sake.

Simply indulging a little black humor, my dear, in this case at a true blue asshole's expense. Death is as much a part of our world as the rest of it.

Experiencing Heaven and Hell is easy. Climb your favorite committing alpine route, one at the limit of your technical abilities, in good conditions. That's Heaven. At the halfway point, drop your rope down the mountain. That's Hell.

More accurately, he's in for no surprise.

I wasn't aware there would be a 'down' escalator available... ...but if there is, you can have my Captain America shorts and neolithic cams.

I pray for the Rapture every damned day.
