AlpineK

Last night at the Ballard Grill a bunch of climbers got together. We drank a bunch of beer and talked a bunch of smack. Sayjay and Dave Parker brought some cool photos. I didnt see any pubing, but I wasn't watching Dave S all the time. After a fun evening we all went home. At least I hope you all made it home safe. I've gotta say god damn there were a lot of people out last night. The list I have goes like this: Chris W, To The Top, Wayne1112, Lizard Brain, Ehmmic, Scott, Sayjay, AlpineK, Mike R, Special Ed, Allison, Mattp, Rey Burbon, Wallstein, Ron Jeremy, Lwya(?), xoxo(?), Erik, v, Jon, Matt, Dwayner, ChucK, 009, Dave Schultz, Gerg, Sirwit, Dave W, Lori the Lurker Also Mattp's friend Diane dropped by, and lets not forget Fred Beckey. So the Ballard Grill and Ale House is a good spot for 30 plus people to get together. In the future when we are fighting about location let's keep this in mind. We didn't pick a spot for next week, but I think it might be time to head to West Seattle and the Alki.

Yes Fairweather. The mountain steward program is all about enforcement. In fact the government is building a road so that mountain stewards can drive to the base of the glacier and check peoples permits. Uncooperative climbers will be taken to jail where they will be sodomized as punishment. Also those black helicopters really do exist. Since I like the environment, and therefore am part of the secret new order created by the UN, I can tell you that your movements are being tracked. You will be put down soon. It's too late to run that's why I'm telling you. The above might be true, or maybe I don't know anything about Mountain Stewards.

I've read too many posts where the poster has been thinking way too much for their own good; also I've met a lot of people who think so much they psych themselves out of climbing. I think we all need to get in touch with our inner idiot. Ok take a deep breath and exhale slowly while saying Duhh.... One more time Duhh... Their are so many ways you can use this simple philosophy in your life. Duh

I would say that climbing is an individual sport. We all have our own goals and thus our own role models. Therefore I find having a debate about who's bad ass to be silly; something that should be in People Mag. (or R&I) Lynn Hill is no doubt a good climber, but this debate is stupid.

Tom I'm in your camp, but the point I was trying to make to Fairweather (knee jerk Anti Environmet Nazi) is that even if they were guilty the checks and balances in scientific research would have caught their attemt to cheat long before any restrictive action happened.

I thought I'd bring this up top.

Who gives a shit who's more bad ass. I'm sure R&I or climbing has or will cover this topic.

Ballard Grill and Ale House 4300 Leary Way Seattle, WA Mapquest would be a good resource for those of you who don't know your way around Seattle. Hint. The Bar is across from Hale's Brewery

Don I believe you started this thread about learing at routes at Peshastin Pinnacles. One of my favs is Nirvana Ridge; also Lightning Bolt Crack is a good one I like to leer at. [ 04-15-2002, 07:30 PM: Message edited by: AlpineK ]

These polls suck. The idea was for each area (Seattle, Tacoma, Eastside) to pick a spot to drink, but now we have people from Tacoma picking the Seattle site, and I think that's bullshit. I guess we'll talk about this tomorrow, but I hope we don't use these polls again.

We've been through this. I don't wat to play trivia, and I don't think anyone else does. I think we should meet at: Ballard Grill and Ale House 4300 Leary Way NW Seattle, WA

quote: Originally posted by chucK: I think we should meet at the place that's just south about a block from that place that has a name like an animal or, I think, begins with the letter "L". or maybe it's a "T"? That place is GOOD!!!! Shut the fuck up Chuck. Ballard Grill and Ale House 4300 Leary Way NW Seattle WA I think this is enough info. You can look up dirrections on mapquest I think

Ballard Grill or whatever across Leary way from Hales. 1 It's big 2 Pool 3 Beer and hard stuff 4 Blue collar place. Not some piece of shit yuppy fuck fuck place.

Don't try to absolve the "researchers" of responsibility here. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing, and knew the cause/effect their research would have. I think a congressman made the analogy of bankrobbers getting caught and then claiming that they were only trying to test the bank's security. They got busted. Simple as that, Dru. F you aren't a judge and I'm not either. Seems to me that guilty or not the checks and ballances worked here, and even if they didn't there was a long way to go before use of the area would have been restricted.

I was thinking Ballard or maybe Dantes in the U district.

Grow up. Bite me Karl. Go back to summitwimp where everyone loves each other just like Star Trek the Next Generation.

Probably because of the nice community of people and the ease with which I can contribute new material. As for Twight, he has put up some decent lines. Cheers, Rudder (lol) I'm glad to hear you've found a safe place where everyone is nice to each other. Can you say Fucking boring lame ass wanker site Well that's what that site is. Go back to SummitWanker.com, or get ready to take some heat.

Maybe I should rename the Slot Couloir, "Lucky Pierre's chute."

[ 04-12-2002: Message edited by: vegetablebelay ] Ya know vegy maybe they were trying to cheat, but if you read the report, even if nobody detected the fake sample, the only result would have been more research. There wouldn't have been an instant ban on use of the forest. Maybe they did maybe they didn't cheat. I sure don't know and you don't either.

Scott I hope you wear latex gloves when you post on CC.com. There is a lot of sickness here unlike that pure, wonderful, and fucking lame, wanker site ...Summitstrokeyourpost.com
