It's great that you want to take up ice climbing this season--I'm happy for you, but as you've said right here on this board, your total experience is climbing some POS grey low angle ice (aka O-rock)--a whole 400 freaking feet--and doing some ice bouldering. Oh yeah, and that super easy, I-could-climb-it-with-my-eyes-closed, fake wall at Cascade Crags. That said, fucking stop acting like you know what the fuck you're talking about! Listen, you ain't no ice climber yet! You haven't even had a taste of real ice yet. As someone who's climbed ice for several seasons now, let me tell you, be prepared to shit yo fucking pants when you finally get onto something worthy of being refered to as an ice climb. It's scary, and, frankly, you might even find that it's not for you. And look, fucking forget about free soloing, solo TRing, drytooling, etc. Girlfriend, you're looking to get yer self killed. You are WAY over anxious about this whole ice thing. Look, here's my advice to you if you want to be an ice climber: 1. Calm yo ass down. 2. Quit acting like you know wtf you're talking about (and save some bandwidth for the rest of us) 3. Keep practicing with Col. Spanker et al--great exp. for when you actually do try to FOLLOW your first REAL ice climb. 4. Quite trying to be super ice woman--again, too cool that you're taking up this hobby, but ice climbing is not one of those things that you can safely jump into as fast as it appears you're trying to do. Take care o' yo self, and don't fucking get killed on us. This is now officially one of my favorite posts ever. Thank you LawGod

    You guys suck

    Climbing mountains is a serious life enhancing activity that has made me the person I am today. Furthermore, this board has really enhanced my overall experience in the mountains and given me much in depth thought about which glacier axe I'll need to send Denali. I am not sure how it's helped my climbing, but it must have somehow because when I am behind my computer I want to touch climbing in some manner. THIS IS IT DUDES! No matter how inane. So let's share some friendly 'ol beta with the gapers out there. YAH! I realize now because of the effort of many fine individuals and their subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, attempts at social engineering that it's important NOT to spray. I should fall in line with the BORG and become one... What is important is that I gain recognition via my postings and culminate the love and respect of my fellow climbers. Posting in a friendly and appreciable manner will lead to this end. Praise BE! AMEN! Hey let's create some catch phrases we can all share together at the next pub club Therefore I resolve to only post useful information on the web so everyone in the climbing community will see me as truly being one with them, and for them. Cause I care. Furthermore, I love Seattle and Oregon liberals. If it weren't for them, transplanted Coloradoans, Californians, midwesterners and Southerners wouldn't have any people to denigrate. Spray War.

  6. This is my favorite. Recommend "unsung" be played repetitively and loudly while bombing down north facing couloirs loaded with new snow.

I was hit fully by 2 large avalanches during the incredible and desparate downclimb. My hands are sweaty just writing this Don Gonthier related this 2nd hand story story to me about 6 years ago. I remember thinking then that the guy he was talking about must have been totally nuts to begin with. Now I understand completely.
  8. Move to the south for some southern style republicanism. Ft Benning is hiring I heard...
  9. Hey, for the record this is the message I sent Justin. After the nazi comment I didn't feel like I needed to air anything out in public. So I sent him this: posted 11-05-2002 11:58 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I find it amusing that someone who's entire vision of the world (that has obviously been formulated behind a screen of tidey whitey democracy) combined with a liberal education is somehow qualified to speak in earnest about the woes of our political adventures. At least JWL had the courage to stand up and represent for his convictions. What is your conviction? To stand and shout to make yourself heard? I heard somewhere that you may be a teacher Justin Thibault? I'll be sending my kids to the Citadel. _--------------------------------------------
  10. So let me get this straight. YOU start an inflamatory political thread, post the picture of the nations most infamous murderer as your avatar, call someone a nazi in a public forum when they make an argument against you, and THEN when I troll you back privately you start whizzing and whining like someone did you an injustice or something? So you can troll me with the veiled threat comment, but when I troll you with the word defamation you blow a gasket? You are about as worthless as I suspected you to Justin. Don't let the fucking door hit you in the ass motherfucker.
  11. With the coming ice season it seemed appropriate in light of Dan's recent success (nice one BTW) to resurrect this classic post from the basement. Ice climbing is the sport climbing of the new millenium. If I remember correctly there was a different tone to the intitial post, but what the heck. Maybe Dan has a backup somewhere...

To add injury to insult, I slipped and landed on devil's club just a few minutes away from the car. I still have slivers in my hand. Dang Dan! You should take up golf one of these days!
  13. Muir chinese downhill anyone? Revisit the paintball skiing idea from last winter?

Until then, I will climb outdoors while all you pussies are in your cube farms, pumping gas, flipping burgers, and picking up garbage. Wow, what a pseudo-humble attitude you have there. More delusional rambling? At least those people you're deriding have an honest job. Is your woman supporting your climbing habit, or did you get some financial aid from some of the bleeding hearts around here? I think the inference was that selling the Cascades may be OK for Fred, Jim, et al, but you need to pay some more dues. Furthermore, like I mentioned previously your wanna-be X-games, REI promoting, SUV driving, new to the wilderness ass doesn't speak for me.
  18. It's the REI price tag so he can return the helmet when he's done using it for the next 4 seasons.
  19. Mueller springs back to life as the snow approacheth!
