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...

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...

Hey GaperTimmay...I noticed you are at '420' posts...

Oh OH...I should wear my flame retardant Nomex power tights...why didn't you say so?

And machete pouch with trundle crowbar attachment!

With the Prana pants anyone can send. The label said so!

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

When will we show up there? When the *real* mountains and crags fall into the sea...or turn to dust...

Hell...sport climbing at Fossil Rock sounds good compared to that...

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

A true gaper would know them all by heart anyway...

Pretty much everybody sucks according to those criteria. I am so happy to post here.

Del Campo

No, that was the incantation spell Ash was *supposed* to use to revoke the 4 wheel drive demon...

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.

Yes, the straight shafted tools increase the pronation in your wrists when you swing.

Don't worry old timer. We believed you. There are some sorry ass trolling fuckers on this site.

Contact Robert Meshew. Not sure what his alias here is. Maybe Robertm...

Keep laughing tough guy...

I've known Ray Borbon since 1994, and I can say he's not here to defend himself. I'd be happy to tell you to your face what I think of you so far. If you wanna go to war motherfucker you found it.

So here's the disposition of this case: BD's warranty manager contacted me directly and sent me (Are you ready for this?) One pair of 95 skins to replace the 110's as a temporary solution. I get to keep my defective skins, the 95's AND they are going to send me a new set of 110's once they get them in! I sent them my Fritschi's which I am PROUD to say were proclaimed as possibly one of the most mangled pieces they had ever seen! You can call me what you want but don't say I can't break a good binding! They have offered to replace the Titanal II RIGHT NOW...or replace it with a Freeride binding in the fall! Black Diamond just won my loyalty forever. Mike

I lurk...therefore I am...

No.

Highly doubtful. The whole area has deteriorated considerably in the past few weeks and the melt freeze cycle has become more melt/melt cycle including the recent new snowfall. But don't let that stop ya from trying! Winter is a better time...
