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?

aw come one. climb with em just one more time! you're gonna miss those little buggers.

1st rate TR!

I went through and ENTRIRE ROLL of paper towels today to soak up the egg white-like synovial fluid from the bursae I popped by accident. I could barely hold on the the trusty scalpel. Many, many, many dry heaves later, it got the mess under control

you sir need to fix your apostrophes. there in lies the problem. plus you know you wanna die. come on, admit it. that zero point of gravity. that sudden feeling of anger and helplessness. the imensity of it all. the pure power of gravity. the bone breaking, viscera rupturing unforgiving hardness of the ground. it's so fast. so real. dieing is totally Zen!

anyone else going down there?

forecast looks pretty bad for all da cascades eastside and west. anyone making an attempt to climb something this weekend?

driving down there is way safer too

maybe I'm a mormon and don't even know it?

you would go to the hospital, duh.

I'm more enlightended that you are. buy my program. I hate this kinda crap.

I just looked at his website. The scary thing is that some guy wrote a response whose first and last name and the town he lives in is my COMPLETE NAME (michael anderson layton). CREEPY~ "Arno, I just started chapter 2, and I am in awe. I feel like you know me personally, because everything you say about the Ego, negative self-talk, and fear-based motivation fit me to the letter. I have already started applying some of your principles, but most importantly, I have been thinking a lot about why I climb, and what I expect to get out of it. I anticipate a very different climbing season this fall, however, I think it will be one of those situations where you get out what you put in. My Ego is a powerful force, and will be hard to work around...I'm optimistic, though." --Mike Anderson, Layton, UT -see. isn't that weird?

self hypnosis is a good tool some yoga practitioners call it "AT" or "autogenic training" which I practice sometimes. calm blue ocean calm blue ocean calm blue ocean GODDAMNIT IT FUCKING SAID CALM BLUE MOTHERFUCKING OCEAN...TAKE,,TAKE!!! calm blue ocean calm blue ocean
