climbing this weekend for your birthday prize???

To a great friend.

*bump*

Oh, I guess that makes more sense, huh LOL Never hurts to embellish a story or two...

I remember hearing this story many times. I love it. Picturing you five hunks of meat on a three hour rapel with only two ropes is classic - and Mark having to rough it with no shoes. You boys were sure in a hurry to get high! Bryan - I love what you wrote...

Thank you for sharing this Kevin and calling me Saturday as well. My time with (the other) Kevin was brief although the memories and stories of him will last forever.

more like a 14 year old female.

its all good Bill just giving you a hard time.

Yes the draws are and have been hanging on The Crumbling since the FA. The grade in the guide book is 5.12a. Thanks for clarifying. You have such a great memory. Couldnt recall if I had placed that draw or how far I got on subject route or how big a fall >insert photo< it was. PS - dont forget you owe some baby pictures.

you mean like the bolt? No, the draw, Kevin. I think they were already there before I attempted the climb? Wasn't this route 5.12?

Of course not Mr Pink, only PUSSIES pre-place draws....wait...wuz zat yeller thing up dere? ......hmmmm.... Shirley knot..say it ain't so!??!!!!!!!!! take care dudes:-) umm, sorry to spoil yer fun but wrong "pink" dumb ass.

Yikes. Kev, do you remember if that draw was pre-placed?

Looking forward to it!

Blackhawk chopper assists in rescue of injured climber on Mt. Hood 06:28 PM PST on Saturday, January 17, 2009 By ADRIANE HORNER, kgw.com Staff Portland Mountain Rescue crews were able to get to and assist an injured male climber near the Devil's Kitchen area of Mt. Hood on Saturday. AP photo The climber, who was identified as a 45 year old man, was reported to have sustained leg injuries near the 10,900 foot level of the mountain. Jim Strovink with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said the climber is a member of Portland Mountain Rescue. He was ascending the mountain around 10:30 a.m when warm and sunny temperatures caused a large chunk of ice to come sweeping down nearby. The force carried the man 200 feet down the mountain. A group of fellow Portland Mountain Rescue members were training nearby and were able to assist the injured climber. Strovink said the man was suffering from two injured ankles and was unable to walk. Crews were able to move him to the Devil's Kitchen area of the mountain where an Oregon Army National Guard UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter was brought in to pick him up. The man was taken to OHSU Hospital in Portland to be treated for his injuries. http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_011709_news_climber_rescue.3239954.html

Awesome Kevin. Thank you for the call, so glad to hear Mom and daughter are doing well. See you and the tribe soon. Lots of love.

Hey Iceman: Don't forget to bring back yer '$5 ice trainer' for us humble junkies at the lab.

Apparently not enough as those kegs were NOT empty when I took them home. Weak showing this year slackers Speaking of beer I have 4 cases of full sail @ my house that will likely go bad well before I drink through them... perhaps a few of you might take a 6 pack of my hand this Wednesday? I need to lose 10 # anyways Bring the goods this Wednesday. Tail-gate party at the Lucky Lab if you know which truck belongs to John. (This is probably illegal.)

I read this too quickly and thought it said "BAD news I've heard all week".

Word up, John! SPECIAL thanks to YOU and MARCUS (iceman) for spearheading the event. Can't wait for next year! For you men out there: Bring your hot girlfriend. She can win you lots of sweet gear. (Example: John and Shannon) Um, yeah, and Bill Coe... every time I turned around you were at the keg! See you on the ice!
