Sometimes you have to learn the hard way.

The one at Meany gained 500 vert, and you could hike from the top for more drop.

Yeah, you want to show off your gloves after you wreck them

Dude you don't try and start up with the gripper. You get going like on a regular rope tow then hook up the gripper after you're moving. The best part was to release from the gripper just before you went past the safety gate. If you did it right you could get 20' of air on the flats beyond.

Yes, but do you remember the question? No no they had to do a study to discover what the question was.

When I was a kid I used to go to the mounties lodges all the time. There were some truely crazy rope tows there. They had some fun events at the Meany lodge. They used to play this evening game called tube hockey. You put this inner tube in a sack then toss it down the hill from partway up. Then 20 people or so try and chace the tube on skis with a stick as the puck. The object was to controle the tube as it went through the goal at the bottom of the slope. I'm not a big mounties backer, but that was a fun game. I have a few other good stories about hanging out with a group of teens and up at Meany, but I probably shouldn't post those.

This won't help you much, but my parents cat has an interesting problem. If you have any wool cloths sitting out you're in big trouble. The cat will eat up anything wool sitting out where he can get it. He's wrecked a few wool sweaters my folks left out. Other than that the cat is happy and in good condition.

I'd come over to W Seattle. That is if I can snake a ride. Prost was fun. Sorry if I wasn't more talkative, but I had a good time visiting with you guys. I'm afraid all my climbing stories are old right now.

This is a bad thing? Having lived in Boulder for 3 years I can tell you this. Boulder is a scary place, and you should feel fear.

I'll be bringing Mark M and the real JZ.

I may actually show up.

Goats own that crag.

Food in Hope is a mix, I've eaten at a couple good spots, but there are some places that are scary. One time coming down from Yak I watched Mark M eat a whole block of cheese by himself. When we got to Hope we went out to a restaurant for dinner and Mark ate a big steak dinner. Mark's not a fat guy at all. I was impressed with his performance.

That sounds about right. Where are your photos of Outer Space

Lub makes the world go round

If porn is what you want there's no lack of it. You shouldn't have to turn to cc.com to get your fix.

I've never played the role of a hippie, but maybe I can act out the role of a dirty hippie

Well, I'm sorry to say, but it looks like the Hawks have lived up to the role of looser. Too bad, but Chicago is a pretty good team

Huh. I am a mod, but I guess I was too lazy to figure that spot out. It was a long time ago, so I figured it went better in Spray. After all we didn't get very close to the top.

Too bad. I remember getting into those books while I was high school age.

They will be all over Whistler next season.

How long ago was that? Sometime in the 80's. He had this crazy ride with a skull and crossbones airbrushed on the front hood. I think he released his one album Skyscraper right after that.

All I remember was he was really curious about what kind of a belay device I was using.
