ahh i have bever had an issues with yo's down at smif......i just love to watch all the little guys driven by numbers reducing their level of fun and the level of fun around them with their desire to be the skiinest hard crankin mofo out there......it is funny.... kick da rock, make you figure sequence out ungo bunga!!! trad is rad!!!! and jake email trhem to me, i;ll log it and go there next time.....

i vote fort alki!!!!!

okay okay darren i got one for you..... one thing good about bham.... i went and saw ben harper there a coupl years ago at the mt baker theatre.....awesome show......

first of all scott the aroma of tacoma is a thing of the past...mcmillian blodel replaced their boiler in theri paper plant and the smell is gone and you could neer really smell it unless you were trying too...

headed to smif fer da weekend with a crew of ktk memebers....... mission: the female sport top phenomamon....... all i can really say about that is aaaaahhhhhhHH!!!!!!!!! now we did do some climbing....saw on the smif website that the cluster factor was to be extreme over the weekend......made the move to the XXXXXXX gorge and saw like um the people i was with and ummm the other people i was with.....while the main area was ummmm fawked!!!! BEAUTIFUL ROUTES DOWN THERE IN XXXXXX gorge....dont tell though okay!!! next day went over to the main area and found never a line to be had.....i guess that is why trad is ssooooo rad.....!!!!!!! granted i did do a bolted route and i would say it was quite fun... one thing i really noticed is the over chalked holds are way more slimy then a bird shit fist jam..it is not even comparable. it almost made me want to use chalk.(shudder!!) hope everyon e else had as much fun as i did this weekend!!!!!

hey rod, i would not call this guy a sellout...how about a self serving laut.....i mean this sounds like an advertisment for his company....which is too bad, cause it sounds like the commercialization of natural history..... maybe we can change ther topic to "trampling human history for money" sounds good to me......

enbforce what??? the fee demo program is a voluntary program to see if the feesability of paying for recreation is supported by the general public.... now if one of these volies came up and threated to ticket me cause i am exercising my right as an american to enjoy public land, he would proably find himself walking bow legged with a clip board up his ass...... they dont need more regulators or what ever title they are labled with....they need less....more eqauls more money spent, regardless of them being volies or paid employees.....this is how they justify charging money for the use of public land...these little trail gnats are just one more piece of the machine...

06 - BURN ONE DOWN Words and music by Ben Harper Let us burn one from end to end, And pass it over to me my friend. Burn it long, we'll burn it slow, To light me up before I go. If you don't like my fire, then don't come around, 'cause I'm gonna burn one down. Yes, I'm gonna burn one down. My choice is what I choose to do, And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you. Your choice is who you choose to be, And if you're causin' no harm, then you're alright with me. If you don't like my fire, then don't come around, 'cause I'm gonna burn one down. Yes, I'm gonna burn one down. Herb the gift from the earth, And what's from the earth is of the greatest worth. So before you knock it try it first, Oh, you'll see it's a blessing and not a curse. If you don't like my fire, then don't come around, 'cause I'm gonna burn one down. Yes, I'm gonna burn one, oohhh. [ 04-15-2002, 08:18 AM: Message edited by: erik ]

Ha! your mom is sooo proud of you.......i just left her house and i told her that you can spell fawk without really spelling it..... c u tonite fucker!!!

ONCE I feel the need to stroke my ego, i'll put together a nice piece that you can critque for me. i just rencelty got an offer to write for a mag you might have u nderstanding with "Seaseme Street" i gave them your name cuz i dont know how to make shit up........ and i wasnt critquing anything, just pointing out obvious errors...thats called proof reading!!! enjoy

I never here about the scientific studys where they say every thing looks great here... doin' a good job, way to go mother earth... why is it, there always has to be a change in the enviornment... And who say it needs to be changed... do we get to vote on a closer or what... or do enivormentalists who have a polotition in their pocket just get to decide because they think it should be so... I mean just because I think something is in a bad state, does not mean you do, or vice versa.... And if we do get to vote on closers, why isn't it more publicly campaned.... do the rest of you think that we should just sit back and let some tree hugers close down all our favorite spots, even though the majority of us do our best to keep it clean and nice for others (respectful climber and woodsmen)... Ok I'm a little excentric, but I'm serious too... JAKE, the problem you state is called christianity or probably orgainized religion for that matter.....it tells us that there is always something wrong and that we need to tell others what we see wrong with them too.....it is a brilliant way to control billions of people...even make them kill each other, over principals that if were looked at with any type of skepticism would be so laughable, that you would wonder how people could even get so deep into the bullshit.... but i really dunno

YES YOU MAY BRONG YOUR DOG the real dog problem lies with the owners, not the actual animal..... evident a couple weeks ago.. bringing your pup down the slot into the main area might be tough if they little guy is very big.....if not then it is not too bad... also once you come on top of the plateau instead of following the main trail, go sw and you will find a gully you and the pooch can walk down.. make sure you pick up its shit...the sport climbers is bad enough....

the only time i have heard of a ranger even sweating anyone, my friend crazy jamie was on top of my other friends p.u. on a lawn chair drinking and yelling....an off duty l.e.t. pulled them over and gave them a real hard time, though let them off with a verbal warning.....now that is a pretty nice cop... now i could only imagine if that happend in the valley, there would be gun fire and several climbers dead and a couple innocent tourons injured....with the tool having fixed the problem.....sheesh.....

quote: Originally posted by specialed: I'm not rich but pimping out Erik as a male prostitute does have its financial rewards. But I'd rather carry and fall on pre-sewn light weight and stronger (perlon?) slings than some hippy-ass tubular webbing from the 70's. we all have weaknesses.......

okay i am going to lower myself to post in this thread.... but maybe greg, while you and dan were in the army. you all had an encounter with each other...maybe him the angry drill sargent and you the timid new fish....you were violated, he covered it up.....i dunno really just specualting....think full metal jacket..... then again dan has never tried to rename a classic ski route after himself.....so i give him the benefit of the doubt enjoy

quote: Originally posted by beefcider: I'm short on the QDs but have plenty of biners. I;m wondering if there is an expedient way to make QDs from pre-sewn slings or should I juts save the bucks and wait until I can afford a set of draws. I've heard that using webbing and the water knot doesn't produce very reliable results and should only be used in a pinch. thats wrong, i use tied shoulder lengths as clipems all the time......though make sure to inspect your knot occasionally, maybe ill die from this practice though it hasnt happend yet... someone correct me if i am wrong....

hand wsh it in your bathtub.. though i have never washed one of my ropes.....they get trashed before i think it might be a concern........or drag it through the snow... putting it in some type of actualy washer with an agitator might harm it, though it might not....save your time and money for beer....

quote: Originally posted by scot'teryx: Gore Tex in boots is good from what I have seen and heard from friends, like La Sprtivas GTX series. My eigers can get soaked even after nixwaxed, but maybe it's just me and I need to hit the bong harder. one thing you might consider is that most of the water that gets into boots comes from the stiching...i seam seal all the stiching on my boots, granted it dont look kewl, but it works very well....also you have to reaply the seam seal when it wears out....... also goretex doesnt work cus there is no circulation of air inside the boot to force the moiture through the materials... thats cool you are an admitted gaper, cuz i dont think i am even that good...... erik the 4th class sketchfest.....
