pink

no, it let me.

naw - he still climbs (and to my limited knowledge, at a higher grade on rock than you - come climb both pitches of flying swallow and flying dutchman w/ me this summer and we can both see how we measure up to what he's done) but he doesn't have the same alpine ambitions as you, john - he doesn't do big mtns/ice/extreme adventure stuff. similiar to you, i don't understand how anyone can love and be so good at one part of the equation and be so lackadasical about the other, but that's the way it is. at any rate, jim opdyke considers him as a son, and that's good enough for me to stick up for him, regardless of him climbing el cap or anything else, 10 years ago or 10 minute. i think well of you too, so let's just talk about climbing, which we all love in one form or another, in whatever shape we find ourselves in, from the depths of our slothful torpor or the zenith of our driven training routine. i'd add, i generally like chestbeating - for fucks sake, what's the point of doing something if you can't get a crowd of nameless/faceless fucks to salute you for it? does anyone really think we've evolved away from our simian, primitive need to vindicate our preternatural excursions (our meaningless combats, far from the eyes of the world, as terray put it?) good on ya

Pink may have climbed el cap eight times or whatever and yes that is super rad but what has he done lately? When was the last time he climbed el cap? Was it in this decade? Pink reminds me of the classic "Uncle Rico Napoleon Dynamite" type... sure he may have taken his HS team to State and loves to tell you about it but you ask him what is going on in his life now and you get a blank stare... maybe pink is retired from climbing? john, your a tool. i don't read your trip reports no do i care to post them. i climb because i like moving over stone, it makes me happy. you on the other hand are a walking premature ejaculation (coitus interuptis). i climb plenty but bring a #4 instead of a camera. i wish a had time to climb 250 days a year like back in the day but i feed fifteen families and take pride in other things. i offered you the olive branch months ago but you were a DICK HEAD about it and now i will always flip you shit. you just can't quite admit your wrong and i think you should grow the fuck up. john, nobody cares what you climb and how hard you train, try climbing with ovals, wool and for yourself you fucking premadonna. peace love :kisss: and angst your favorite el cap partner, pink

make sure ya let jonh know that i climbed el cap, why don't you tell him eight times just in case he forgets. i heard he likes to take you dry tooling, being that you couldn't possibly go do that without his guidance.

stoner

great frickin hockey last night

from the couv to the cove.

BASEBALL IS GHEY. YA ALL NEED A HOCKEY CLUB NOW THAT YOUR GHETTO ASS SONICS ARE MOVING.

FUCK EARTH DAY

i figured you shouldn't be wearing a baseball hat unless you playing baseball.

way to wade back into a 2 year old argument i'm torn on the chalk thing in that it is retarded that folks use it regardless of wether or not they need it, especially on silly easy routes, but then, how else would i know which hold to dyno to next at smith if they didn't? well you can derralick my chalk balls.

What's this the pimped-out Mercedes anti-dirtbag mobile? Ya had to tell Kevin "Stop chalking up the leather cause yer hands are sweatin', I'm not gonna roll it!" that's me and kev in the stang on our way back to the couv.

i even chalk up when i drive.

Andrew here. Chalk is good but you should only use it after having fallen off the move without it. Don't expect to see me taking my advice, though. And when sport climbing you can predict the fall and use the chalk in time-advance mode. But I will be doing the birdshit traverse, today. And on the subject of Beacon Rock: you look like one of those socs from the outsiders.

I need to move there Andrew: I was out both days this weekend ( @ 500 foot elevation) and the only white stuff I saw flying was the occasional snow and some interesting soft ice pellets. come on down and grab some yourself some dry rock.

it's chalk season folks. i musta used a bucket of chalk climbing in sun shiny eldo yesterday. in fact, i'm so addicted to the soft white powder i chalk up before almost everything i do. hell, i even took a bath in it last night. mmmm, chalk.

how come yodas eyes aren't red?

little later. duder.

So true....but I will try to influence my children to a real sport like soccer.... Whatever dude. Baseball rules! Go Cubs!! so does chess but watching it is boooooring! cubs suck, go cards!

oh yes. now EVERYBODY will go out and redpoint cobra crack.

i prefer LSD myself

fuck obama, if he gets elected, he'll be the first black president who doesn't act, talk or anyway represent the black population i grew up around. fuck all the canidates, where's zappa when you need him?

for sure

sorry to hear that, gym climbers can be a different breed.
