  1. Blasphemer! Ol' Toothy is an enjoyable alpine climb shared by many as their first alpine summit. Everyone should climb the tooth and spray about it. If you really want to stay high in the mountains try the KGB route.
  2. Hehe. I personally aint going cuz I am tired of the same people and I never had a memory of the driving due to reckless drinking. Plus I think I will be climbing tomorrow evening depending on weather and work..
  3. Juan, I was climbing. Climbing UND skiing.
  4. Dru, we were skiing saturday morning in the pass and came over in the afternoon...sorry we missed you...I told Borbon...I said "I think the temps are a little warm for triple C"...but no one listens to me...what do I know?
  5. Someone told me once you should never tell unless someone asks.
  6. Everyone should be laughing cause we are all gapers at one time or another or ALL the time (in my case ).
  7. Then there is the "Johnny come lately" who emails you repeatedly to go climbing. After pulling off a few simple beginner crag climbs, mostly led by someone else, they will self proclaim themselves some sort of guru and begin postulating from a throne they crowned themselves on. People who spend one season climbing crag rock climbs usually develop this attitude. Despite having no obvious talent or personal climbing record to speak of they will act up on chatboards. They will thinly disguise their words in a feeble attempt to raise themselves up. The "Johnny come lately" usually has no idea what they are talking about whatsoever. Gapers, Posers and Chestbeaters typically shun JCL's as upstarts rarely worthy of attention. Especially when they start acting up...
  8. Bronco- I saw that same guy you were talking about. He even went climbing with us...we both gaped at Mara and Kim's and B's talent(s)...hope you had fun scratching about on some rocks...
  9. Hey GaperTimmay...I noticed you are at '420' posts...

    YEAH! Loose rock and trundling? Wack a mole style or green frog families in cracks? Can I wear my Prana Onsite pants to your new crag?

    Probably not. I believe that Viktor, et al, are holding out on free available topos until a newly published guidebook effort. http://www.climbingwashington.com/routeinfo/pearly.htm
  15. When will we show up there? When the *real* mountains and crags fall into the sea...or turn to dust...
  16. Hell...sport climbing at Fossil Rock sounds good compared to that...
  17. One day at Mt Baker when I was trying to learn to ski, I came rocketing down some hardpack into the deep crud. Crud wasn't in my quiver of skiiable conditons yet. So, with my blaring lack of prowess I instantly began flailing beyond all description trying deperately to stay upright. I was thrashing so efficiently I stayed up until just below the chairlift where I cratered over head first backwards into a deep drift. As I came sputtering to the surface I was greeted loudly from the chair above with "Hey! You're pretty good!". Whenever I see people crash below the chairlift I now make a point to give them the same love that was given to me on that day. I say pass it on...you'd be amazed at what a little critisism will do for your motivation... Later that day I fell and slid all the way down North Face and almost over those cliffs...but's that's another story
  18. A true gaper would know them all by heart anyway...
  19. Pretty much everybody sucks according to those criteria. I am so happy to post here.
  20. No, that was the incantation spell Ash was *supposed* to use to revoke the 4 wheel drive demon...
  21. Sean Halling WAS the last person to see that person alive. I believe his advice was that he should not to descend into a whiteout.
  22. Yes, the straight shafted tools increase the pronation in your wrists when you swing.
  23. Don't worry old timer. We believed you. There are some sorry ass trolling fuckers on this site.
