I think reparations are ok when you can find the actual victims. Sure give holocaust some money, and Japanese Americans that were interned deserve something. However I think you would be hard pressed to find a living, black exslave. The Civil War was like 140 years ago.

That verb makes me a little nervous... So you ran into this herd of sheep....and then......

Sounds fun, but it would have messed with our climbing schedule. Party another time!

I've always wanted to set that shredded rubber at the base of the rock on fire.

Nice to meet ewe.

Fuck yeah, true fredom, that's what we got down here is true fredom. You ain't got none of that shit up in the great white north.

I always liked the scene at the beginning of Men in Black where the slackjawed farmer challenges the alien who's just landed in his yard. Alien: Give me your weapon Farmer: You can pry my gun out of my cold dead hand Alien: Your proposal is acceptable. Mayham

You would think the government would let it drop. I mean I don't think any of those, "human shields," changed the way the war went. Then again Asscraft is a prick of major proportions.

Shit man, I was 1 week too early for the party.

looks like the infamous overcammed #4 on stuart n.r. but it aint PURPLE CAMALOTS ARE NOT HAND SIZE!!!!!!!! It ain't hand sized where the cam is, but there's a whole lot of good hand crack just below

No that's a pic that Telemarker took and I used. The stuck cam is near the base of the route.

ChucK and I decided to climb at Washington Pass this weekend. Neither of us had been to the Wine Spires, so we looked in the guide and picked out some fun stuff. I picked ChucK up at 5 AM in the big city; we drove up to the parking area beyond the pass and started hiking up the hill. We got to the basin bellow the spires at noon, picked out a camping spot near a snow patch, and had lunch. We figured we had enough time to climb Annie Greensprings on the west side of Burgundy Spire. The chockstone where the route starts is super cool, but the lower part of the route was kind of ho hum. The upper few pitches were pretty fun though. There was a nice offwidth and some other cool climbing. Eventually we met up with the north side rout on Burgundy, and after another couple pitches we were on the summit. We rapped back down to Burgundy col and stashed our climbing gear then descended back to our camp. The next day we climbed on the east face of Chianti Spire. We hiked back to the col, picked up our gear, and headed over on the east side. Hiking on the hard snow was interesting in running shoes, but we made it to the base and started up Rebel Yell. We found Telemarker’s stuck 3.5, but after a few minutes messing with it we gave up. The offwidth wasn’t too bad; anyway that was ChucK’s lead, which left me with the blind step across and the crack above. The crack that splits the headwall is really fun; I was thankful the belay station at the top was set cause I was out of gear. Once on top ChucK and I took turns standing on the true summit. On the 2nd rappel we got our rope stuck, but chucK managed to get it free with out too much screwing around. The hike out was brutal; the only other thing of interest was this massive rockfall we saw coming from the west side of Silverstar. It gave me pause for a few seconds wondering if the rocks were going to stop or keep coming towards us. Rebel Yell Annie Greensprings Telemarker's picture: My only picture from the weekend

Necro, Necro, Necro. I'm sadly disappointed with you. Pink Floyd can you get any more stale.

I'm not getting the joke either FS. I'm not really sure who I would vote for right now, however I wouldn't hold the comments of any politician 3 days after Sept. 11 to a high standard. How many of these horrible ideas are laws as of today?

You fawkin chestbeater It's like 2 MORE WEEKS till I go Cheers my friend - If I see you somehow on our way out I'll be sure to kick you and AlpineKunt in the gonads with my crampons on. Sorry Ray I'm not into the same kinky stuff you are. Have a good trip!

Get down and get funky with bolts for added for safety.

If you dissagree with the Dr then making fun of him is cool. You disagree with me, and make fun of me, and that's ok. But disagreeing with someone and threatening to beat the shit/shoot/etc. of them is just plain not cool.

Ok, so I've cratered twice. Once (when I was 19) I fell near the top of Cool Springs in Field. I ripped all my screws and landed on my back. I compressed 2 verts and spent a week and a half lying on my back in a hospital in Golden. The second time, about 4 years ago, I rapped off the end of my rope while pruning a tree and fell 40'. i hit a couple branches on the way down with my sternum and then I flipped over and landed on my back. I broke my sternum. The cool thing about this was the day before I had given my boss 6 weeks notice cause I was starting my own company. So I spent 6 weeks getting L&I and then I called up my boss and told him I was better and see ya later!

Word. The bird is the word.

Matt, I agree that Beck has put effort into this thing, but he has sought very little if any input outside the small handfull of folks organizing Beckfest. Also he has and continues to show a hostile attitude about compromise. I never said Rope Up was my thing, but I think I come a lot closer to the mark when it comes to what the general expectations were for Rope Up. Also, when I say the local AAC is lame, I'm just expressing the opinion of quite a number of people (some long time local climbers). If they want to try and get their act together then good for them, but doing it by riding on cc's coattails is pathetic. It's really too bad there wasn't more review of Rope Up plans. Especially before Beck made commitments. However that doesn't mean some of us are just going to roll over. Piss away unbesmirched
