I fully support this idea.... ...as long as I get invited for the after party.

jordop's a chick...right???

i miss those guys!

Here Here! Not to lose a possible partner, but DUDE...MOVE. Go to Vancouver, BC; Bellingham, Mazama, or at least Seattle. PDX has shit for alpine besides hood. The beer in those places is just as good and probably cheaper.

Hey MisterE can I catch a ride? Or anyone?

Long story short, i had a massive bloody nose whilst having sex w/the lights off. i got it cauterized later.

I found this while perusing the gallery. I guess jordop posted it a while back. You can't see the massive bloody nose i just had. Anyway, i'm in a self-destructive mood, so fire away. "hmmmm, i guess being on the rag isn't such a bad thing after all"

I still think hot cherry bendover was a PERFECT name for that climb. -that beer's for a fallen comrade. bring back the bendover!

i'm there

How 'bout reconcidering the lycra tights (unless you = hawt grl 18-29) Here's my mug for recog:

Schedules never stick. Just think about what you're lacking when you have time to exercise, and try not to go all out the day before an important climb. I did the Mark Twight workout to the letter about 4 years ago and found it to be schweet. I pretty much just followed his schedule 3 on 1 off. It took many hours figuring out a system from the book, but it was worth the effort.

Jordop and I added Angry Nipple Discharge, and Carlos Rossi Memorial Tower to the list o' stupid names.

i am incorporating the term in the the vernacular. wtf are you gonna do about it?

how wouldst' one identify you there. I am in the same boat.

Concidering Mt Hardy and eve dearborn route are "selected classics," then I guess unrepeated routes are fair game. I'm sure it's a great route, however. You should post a photo of the pitch you're talking about!

True Dat!

oh, i was serious about the climbing gym part of my rant, however.

NOLSe. I have a degree in Outdoor Rec. I am poking fun at the profession. It's hard to tell sarcasm/humor on the net, so just assume that's what the intention is. I wish everone had training in Leave no Trace and belay escapes too. I should remember to ask my partner before a climb if he/she knows how to do minimal rescue (belay escapes, hauling, etc...) Sorry to ruffel your feathers (again)! That's just the 'scene' here. Maybe we can debrief each other sometime?

There is an extensive network of caves up in snoqualamie pass around the like of mt thompson or thereabouts on a ridge. Getting beta for caves is almost impossible, unless you are in the circle.

if they fit, they are are really really good. You must have pencil feet, however. I wore em once and had to turn around a few hours outta the car, but that was a long time ago. The Vasque Ice 9000 looks like the boot to buy for warmth and any climbing w/o the crampons on too.

I thought you were a dirtbag climber! Look at that nice couch with even cushions and the carpet, there's no beer stains or blood??? New shoes? A girlfriend? Nice backpack. Dude!? WTF!?!?

1st I'd like to start this with an: Ode to my Red Alien O! Red Alien You are what I grab first in desperate times. You always place true, with your four lobes engaged soft metal to set up your home inside the steep cracks where you never stray or walk far from there and when I fall you are there to catch me. You are the one that I love best. Anyway, there was some good debate on this site in scattered forums and threads about aliens vs. zeros. Discuss what sizes you like of each and why one's better. I have never used zeros so I don't know. As far as sizes for aliens, red's the biggest I like, but the best too. Wouldn't you rather have softer metal on your smaller pieces to keep em from ripping out?
