I dont think you are on the right track. Thin skin rules! Bit me!

Funny thing is has anyone looked at

quote: Originally posted by icegirl: fine by me... I only piped up about a pub club because no one else had... Not here for an argument or sprayfest, just trying to figure out if the drinking is close to home or not. I apologize if I made the E. Siders feel shorted by ignoring their request for a Pub Club, but as I've been working quite a bit as of late, have not been up on the Pub Club discussions about desired whereabouts for a couple weeks. Honestly I really don't care tremedously where it is, and yes, I went to Issaquah even though the "Official" one was in Tacoma. I'll go to ones that strike me as interesting (FB showing up for example, and I do apologize for getting there late BTW) or close to home. This is all getting awfully regimented for something that is supposed to be a fun thing for people to drop in on... Whatever... I agree 100% with you. I only said I will see if FB will show no promises on short notice like this. He is a pretty old guy and drives a bit to go to these from work. But he lives near Iassaquah

Personally I take this as a whimsical humorous personal insult. Plenty of friends will show I am sure. PS I dont cater to women when drinking or climbing. Never have.

(Pullling out the Spray Umbrella) Seems to me a lot of the pub club-ers who I've met (at pub clubs) live in about a 5 mile radius of the Ballard Bridge... We are all happy to drive now and then (I've been to an Issiquah Pub Club) but 3 weeks in a row on the outskirts? (correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Alki, Tacoma, and now aiming for E. side?) Why not something like this... Alki - Seattle - Tacoma - Seattle - E. Side - Seattle - North somewhere - Seattle... etc.. For those of you going to the Seattle meeting for the public input on the Mt. Rainier GMP/EIS thing; do show up, the fun goes on into the wee hours, don't feel bad about getting there late! Oh brother here we go again. This has been discussed. Fuck it you guys go where you want. If that is the way you are you can kiss my I think it has been 4 weeks? since east side? I dont want to drink with whiners. Even the last pub club in the Quah was a near no show anyway. Icegirl barter but the standard will certainly be in the Quah. -R

Bogus all but me and Cascadeclimber. I call it in Issaquah. Long overdue. Mattp we on? Erik?

I would like to go. But dont know yet. I will see if FB is available to go too. Last time few people showed and I\he was dissappointed If he shows I show. PS there is a smoking section. No need to be a robot. -R

Oh brother Erik is soo the authoritator. Tell you what. You cannot erase what I say in real life. So you can moderate this Either way I have friends to drink with and dont need to visit Toilet town. Squish was way better than any pub club anyway. Nice people no tudes, Fred hitting on every woman imaginable, and mechanical bull throwing victims onto the barroom floor. Thanks for the offer Kevin. -R [ 03-04-2002: Message edited by: rayborbon ]

http://www.promountainsports.com has some pants Kelty for 80$ wb if you believe in that wb bs. I got a pair cuz I always kick holes in mine while climbing. I do not see any need to buy 450 gore tex..

All right whiners I am not going to Tacoma. Also bring your own Krispy Kreams. I just want a stout beer!

I hereby declare next weeks at Issaquah Brew Pub again. Fred might be in attendance depending on his schedule. Just had a few beers with him in Redmond He said he likes to party!

Did someone do a new route on Sloan last year or year before? Do you know who it was, and if so, how get hold of the person? Interested. Thanks,-Rayrayborbon@hotmail.com

Maybe round 2 should start?

Huh!?

Bottom Line your name is Lamboner so you will never be in Also we are not the Trad Kings anyway.

Yeah and to be honest in most situations if you need that much I say practice on easier, shorter, less travelled routes. Don't hog up the crags and then drop your water bottles and radios on me. Gimme a break

Shrinkin Ball Disease hahahahahaahahahahhahahahahahaha

Ron, You may be a nice guy but did we think before we drilled? http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000203.html http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000232.html MX On Belay posted 03-25-2001 06:29 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I did the route last week and must say it's really nice. It's a great, pleasant line with varied climbing and lots of fun movement. The approach offers a nice warm up and super views of the Stuart Range. My only complaint is that the route is overbolted. I appreciate the route setter's desire to make the route safe and popular, but anyone who can climb 5.10b can deal with a fifteen foot runout on 5.6 slabs. My advice is to do it in three and a half pitches. Bring 16 draws (or tweleve and skip a bunch of bolts) and do two "pitches" at a time. Basically, it's a nice three pitch route with super views.

Hi everybody, This is all interesting. I think I am with Jordan's well thought out comments. Mitch, you might just have the balls of steel I may never grow heheh. -RB

Griff, I am sure the degres would be fine for what you want them for. I was climbing waterfall ice in the older Koflach viva softs this past ice season and even Makalus.. I have investigated the degres and thought about buying a pair and they are a step above for sure. Ray

Good advice above. Get some hexe and learn to place them, they are lightweight. Get some stoppers I recommend BD or Dmm Walnuts myself for personal reasons.. Then start collecting the cams. If weight is your focus then don't buy Camalots.. Maybe try Wild countrly, Metolius, or Hugh Banner. Nothing beats a tcu by metolius if you ask me. I took a shortie on one recently... Work your way up dude. I would think that you would learn from others but it looks like you are on the solo road.. So get a set of stoppers and hexes and a few small cams and try using them at the base of a climb first. Then go do an easy route like R&D on Icicle Buttress.. If you are in Lworth this weekend I will show you what I mean. -RB

Jens, Nice put! I hear rumors of a name I will not mention that put the route up but I will not slander even if I knew for sure.... However the same guy (hearsay) supposedly put up another route in question was on this board. I will sit in silence until I know for sure. However I have faith in my good resources... I would expose him but I will give him a chance to redeem himself.. -RB

Rock on Jon!
