Are you going to be there, ya little old green man? I want to see you throw down in the keg stand - push up contest!

Nuts man. So not only do you have to watch yourself from getting mugged by local people, you have to watch out for the freakin' baboons too!?!? My wife just got robbed by the police yesterday. Driving in a rural area of Mozambique, they were stopped for "speeding", though the police didn't even have a radar - just a telescope to search for whitey in the back of cars. They had to pay up or go to jail. Reminds me of my days in Argentina when I was robbed by the police several times. Make my fucking blood boil because there is nothing you can do. They are the police! Next thing you know the baboons are going to be packin' heat!

the secret is out dru = trask

Half Sack

Somebody just skied from off the summit last weekend. I think it was the NE Face? Not sure though.

What about pushups? There have to be pushups involved.

G-Spotting is aid

Check out his album "In the Heart of the Moon" with Toumani Diabaté. Wicked stuff. For being such an increadible artist, it's amazing to hear that him say...

Is Fred going to be there this year? I wanna see him do a kegstand.

Just found this out yesterday on the radio. Damn that guy was good. News Link

Paranoia. A similar stink was raised about the skate park that is slated to go into Dahl Park, not too far from the Wedgwood Boulder. I met some older folks in the hood thought that it was just going to attract a bunch of drug using deviant punks and were thus trying to get it nixed from the remodel plans. The peolpe I've met at skate parks in Seattle are predominantly people just trying to get some exercise and have some fun doing something they wouldn't otherwise do because they don't want to do it on the streets. The best ones were guys in their 40s who learned to skate in the 70s (in people's pools), grew up, got jobs, had kids and up til now didn't have a place to skate. Ever since Seattle started building these parks, these dudes are coming out in force, shredding up the big concrete bowls and showing the 20 year olds what it's all about. They even bring their 5 year olds with them to learn. Fun for the whole family!

I drive by there once in a while. I always thought that it was part of somebody's property and climbing on it would be considered tresspassing. Led me to think it was a waste that climbers probably did not live there. This thing is on public property? It's like 20 ft. from somebody's living room. Why aren't there more of these things around? Seems weird to only have one in the area.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like there's some crazy granite formations in Malawi and some similar features just across the border in a remote area of Mozambique. Hyenas, poachers, black mambas - oh my! Seems like if you're going to go climbing down there, S.Africa is probably the way to go. From what I've read so far, it seems that Mozambique was seriously crippled by its civil war a decade ago and the infrastructure is poor and the people are even poorer. Famine is par for the course in areas. So nobody has actually spent any time living there?

As I recall there was an extensive discussion on this a while back. Do search.

Yeah! That one!

Way to condition them while they're young!

G-Spotter, the new avatar fits you way better that that stupid last one. You are truly one twisted mofo.

You say Smith has PBR and OldE? What about the brewery in Bend? PBR and OldE are just about as midwest as beers come. By your reasoning, what makes Smiffy so different?

Maybe he can get Dru's old avatar. You know, that pansy ass dancing kitty?

There's always the overnight parking lot. You can stay there for free. I used to do it a lot. It's not exactly a "camp site" with a firepit and picnic table, but if you just want to sleep there, then it's alright. Lot of people stay in their RVs there and folks in cars too. Too many nights of that gets a little too damp and cold though.

Go Sonics!

I googled it. Pretty interesting formation to say the least. It looks like Mozambique really has no rock to speak of. Anybody actually travel there and know what the culture/people are like?

Luke, or anyone else living overseas w/ no climbing: is there anything you are doing to stay in climbing shape or are ya just letting it all go?

It is possible that I might be moving to Mozambique for a year (my wife might have a job offer there). Before dropping everything and moving there, I really need to find out more about this place. Anybody ever been there? What is it like? We'd be moving to the capital, Maputo. I don't know what in the hell to think.

Ya gotta be a big bouncy boob like Knotzen to not figure that one out... G-spotter is either Drool or his bearded lady 'woman' friend that he has been known to hire to 'send certain "problems".
