Winter

this one time in band camp I had this real cool flute .... then when I was done i went climbing .... and after that back to the flute ...

Yeah he drags my ass up the v5s and I drag his ass to the bar. Seems like a fair trade.

go white boy. go white boy. i'm actually half white. off white? yaller?

I was planning on showing up around 8-ish after sucking chalkdust in the gym. Should have one more with me. I thought we were meeting at the Rose & Raindrop.

we did the exact same thing. It seems a lot different pulling into a camping spot next to a group of 20 school kids and belaying from your trunk.

SE Grand and Burnside-ish.

Ok its Iran, but its close to Iraq and we'll invade them soon anyway.

Come on folks this place is huge. Is Bloody Fingers the only thing in the park to climb? Its good but once you're off the deck I thought it was 5.8.

There's a lot of new stuff ... and some longer multi-pitch sport routes that are supposed to be nice. There is a gear store Burly ... looks more like a jetski, motorcycle kind of place, but the folks that worked there were pretty knowledgeable and helpful. You may want to stop in.

Ok exactly why is this man a threat to us? Because if we invade he is going to shoot back? Its irresponsible to exacerbate anti-American sentiment in the Middle East and to unite the moderate and extreme wings of the Muslim religion all in the name of protecting us from a country that can't touch us. Where's the imminent threat?

Is Bush Hitler? I am certainly NOT advocating that Bush is Hitler, but this article poses some interesting questions.

Blowin' them up is way better than the torture they are sure to suffer at the hands of Saddam. You can't invade a country, because their dictatorial leader is violates the human rights of his own citizens.

Sorry, I forgot about Pete's deal. No problem. Hopefully I'll see you guys there around 8-ish.

your house!! I got no problem with that. Why don't we say the Rose and Raindrop at 8 pm tomorrow night. I'll probably be at PRG earlier.

There's supposed to be a chossy 7-pitch line called hte McCloughlin Memorial ... I thought Wayne had put up a post about it awhile back.

So where are we drinking tomorrow night?

Christ I go away for a few minutes and the sprayers have taken over. I'm going to propose next Thursday, March 27 at 6:30 pm. Location: The Horse Brass. The Lucky Lab is cool and all but they don't have booze. I don't want to piss off MtnHigh and his lentils. I'll be coming back from Hood River but should be around by 7-ish. By the way, I'll get drunk tomorrow if anyone's interested.

Eat ballz, asseyes! Ahhh ... original. DFA's wit and poetic grasp of the English language never ceases to amaze the CC faithful.

I think I've finally recovered from Shred's blowout. Anyone for a pub event sometime soon? Is DFA really MtnHigh's avatar?

Oh man, I'm gettin' slammed. Darn it all.

Don't let a measley 9 mile skin up to the trailhead spoil your fun. Maybe you should rent a sled and not a car.

Jon - Glad to hear you eased up on the Mazamas guy. I think its a mistake to let TNF post slide shows here b/c they rape us of cash and can then afford to have Anker give a slide show whereas the Mazamas are scraping to get by and need to charge for us to see Ed Webster or Kurt Diemberger ... both way more interesting than hearing another damn talk on the search for Mallory ... give that shit up already and let's talk about climbing.

What ever happened to the thread on the guidelines for posting slide shows and events? The Mazamas get harshed on but the North Face is given free reign?

The story we're efforting is not scandalous, but it IS investigative. It's not the type of story we can do all in one day and our investigators unit has been assigned to look into it. I'm not saying there is criminal activity going on associated with the funds, I'm just saying that we're trying to assess whether the funds have been used in the most efficient way. And because TV is a visual medium, I was wondering if anyone had photos to support arguments about how the money could be better spent. That's all. Hey NEWSTIPS - Down here in Orygun, I gotta story for you on trail maintenance and citizen participation. The Forest Service, in their infinite wisdom, wanted to put in a huge paved trail up to Bagby hotsprings ... in a bunch of wetlands ... so folks could drive the trucks up to the springs. A bunch of folks got on them and and then went out there and volunteered to put in their time to rip out the improvements made by the FS. Neat huh?
