but they make damn fine boots! TLG, I would have figured you for having bigger feet

"losing you cool" was the wrong phrase...shoulda said, "out of character" (for a ranger). I would spray, but there seems to be a crackdown on chastising dumb questions these days. AND, I went up there just now and checked it. It's totally in, but pretty crowded.

Because there is a shitload of icefall compared to rock fall. Dogs do not belong ice climbing. also, if you climb below a party and you get hit by ANYTHING, it is ENTIRELY your fault. You are comprimizing(sp?) the safety of the party above by making them not bash as hard when they need too.

you know it was an "good" question when a park ranger loses his cool.

yeah, i watched them film some of that (Loony Tunes Movie) while the cop at the trailhead berated me on how shitty my cams looked and how we were lame for not toking up back in the canyon, and that we should have guns

how about following like a little bitch?

wonder if my antics last year helped in their decision making? they only used 2 choppers (and 2 media choppers) for being less than a day overdue. thats pretty reasonable.

who the idiot, the idiot who drives or the idiot who passively sits in the passenger seat?

This isn't Pilates, this is weight lifting. Pull down on the damn thing. The muscles you don't want to use are your legs, abs, back, and jaw-clenching muscles! You're not going to have a choice which muscles of your arm to use or not! If you want to avoid injury start slow, and add no more than 15% per week. Alternate pulling down behind your head every once and a while. Sometimes use a wide grip for those underused lower traps. Then do some dips or tripcep curls to balance it out. And stretch your arms and neck when done.

I used to like the Mahivishnu Orchestra, Chic Corea, and Weather Report. Now I think they suck. (weather report is the least suckiest). Mahivishnu Orchestra is really really grating.

I haven't slogged around hood and failed on it yet, so I don't know what type of conditions one needs for routes like Yoccum, Illumination Rock, TNF, and the Black Spider. Do they need quite a bit of snow already (is now too early-besides TNF...duh)? I just haven't had the chance to do the dirty work yet. Anyone planning on doing one of these routes this weekend?

anyone know is bergeau LEFT is in, all I've seen are reports from the right hand falls.

Is ELF any good?

There are so many new female climbers out there that we should bolt more for them at muir on saturday then hold a photo contest.

Yup! (but is wasn't b/c of my post though )

CLICK THIS TO POST YOUR DEDICATION A KEG OF PBR TO WHOMEVER GETS THEIR DEDICATION PRINTED ON A LUNA BAR WRAPPER! I submitted Jordan's Dedication for him, "Dear LunaBar, I would like to thank my sister Mike for teaching me that it's okay to eat beef jerky for breakfast and wash it down with cheap liquor while smoking your third cig. He made my mind, body, and spirit a richer nexus of inner understanding. Our pussied retreating skills have bonded many times over a wholesome and estrogen-laced KeyLime LunaBar! " I'm serious about the keg, but you gotta post your dedication here too so we can prove it.

was illusion dweller downgraded to 10a?

resisted the urge for hyperultramega spray in the girlsrock thread and am posting here...hehe. I clicked on their website and saw some interesting things that highlight the difference between men and women. I also noticed how heavily the Mountaineers were cited, so I would be wary of trips with this group. Anyway,, "blah blah blah,.... Stared in a studio apartment...blah blah blah" Ok, a dude would never bother to state where his sausageclub started. I can imagine chix reading this and thinging how hip and cool this shit musta been, all these climbing chix on there own without men in their cozy studio drinking Soothing Moments Flavored Hot Cocoa and eating Luna Bars while nurturing each other's inner goddess all the while practicing easy esortaric yoga postions. I can't see how girls don't have the opportunity to climb. Any guy would totally bail on his ugly dumbass hairy male partner to climb (esp necro) with a beautiful prana lass! She wants to lead???? Fuckin' A! Head on up!! Better take the scary run-out pitches for me too! Sounds like a dream come true. I guess ugly chicks would have a hard time, but there are plenty of ugly guys who would like to do you anyway...er...have you lead. But NO! Somehow that female "Coven" instinct kicks in and they all have to complain about things that involve words that a Dude never uses like, "nurturing" and phrases like "mind, body, and spirit." Also, their meeting is going to be at some BrewPub! Now think about this guys. A bunch of fit hot climbing Betties are gonna be at a bar and they don't want us there. But are they gonna be the only ones at the bar? Hell no, there will be plenty of gaper and touron dudes there. Why should they get to go home with some lush climbing chick who drank too much? That's not right. If someone's gonna take advantage of these drunk chiquitas, it should be at least some dirt-bag climber who deserves it after soooo many lonely dry years of climbing induced celebacy. anyways. spray away.

yup, that was an excerpt from my TR Jon or Timmay! posted on the main board a while back.

Did folks enjoy the TR I wrote from the perspective of the shit I had to take? "I am Mike's terrified fecal mas" I've given some crap for overly detailed TRs and wished that I hadn't. Gotta remember that not all folks out there understand that "flaming" is what the standard thread turns into and it's all about the humor. No thread is complete without being utterly destroyed by spray, thread drift, and flaming. In fact, everyone (but me) are all a bunch of flamers. A good tr should be: 1. EASY to READ 2. Funny (or sad if your friend died in the TR) 3. Have good beta on the aspects you think will help others succeed on this route (bring a #3!, cross the river early, don't go down the 2nd gully, times, etc...) 4. PHOTOS. everyone loves photos.

dude, you don't suck. and I'm not climbing v8's either (V9's actually).

your not sending V8's yet? shit. i just started bouldering two months ago, and V8's are totally doable. you should work on your finger stregnth. also..., work on flexiblilty. Like my teletubby is doing with his(her?) new pilates/yoga ball. I can help you with your footwork next time we climb together.

it is snowing

what kind of truck?
