i guess i will say this..... in my ideals no outdoor sport should or is competition and to see it turned to that makes me ill.......how do you enjoy beauty if you are trying to beat the next guy?? how do you enjoy the solitude if there is 100 other people out there all trying to get one up one you??? how is enjoyable is you create a rift between others to prove yourself better then everyone else?? is anyone better then anyone else?? i say no...we are all different in some aspects, but we all the same in others...leave it at that...competition is for the selfish..... you know professional sport, ie..baseball, footbal and all that other crap is what has happend to fun things gone wrong...money and prizes and the desire to beat one another..... unfortunatly in the recent decade we have seen climbing sadly go in that direction....it must stop....polluting the enivorment with money and compettion is rididulous........ rich people helping rich people is all i see........

For the other kind of less fortunate (like me) who spends most waking hours in an office, there will be lots of raffle prizes - tents, skis, boots, sleeping bags, etc. Hope to see you there. you missed the message and the powers that be have noted that.....your sarcastic remark to a serious one shows your disdain for people whom do not have the oppurunity to enjoy what we do......i am talking inner city kids, people who are abused and the such, not some laid off lacky whom does not want to find a job........and i am sure you can fit all your prizes in your suv..... be safe

note to all bhamer's: there is a directive from wash dc, stating that since you all so cool, you must stay in bham....do not taint the rest of the world with your petchuli oil and rasta kit caps...or your my mom gave me a gold card so there for i am attitude.....thank you and have a nice day.......

I say you bullies calm down and let the people learn the skills before committing themselves to something big. Not everyone will get on an expando flake and conquer A4-A5 on their first big wall. Contrary to some of your inuendo, big wall ain't = A5. Let them be, at least they were practicing on junk rock!!! [ 03-28-2002: Message edited by: erden ] ill talk some shit too, nailing at dis-vantage is not like nailing in fine granite........first of all the nature of the rock at dis-vantage makes most nailing to be more destructive then on other types of rock........the struturual and superfical cracks that are created around your pin placement are more detructive the most other things going on there..........you do not create a placement where it can be used over and over and over again, with the mojaority of the damage being a larger pocket....no you just fucking detroy the rock period....that is irresponsible..... i am a pretty mellow person, but if i had seen those people nailing for the sake of nailing i might have exploded into an enviromental impact diatribe and coming from a republican it is a harsh one..........(and i will not make a statement about gridbolting here) now the only practice for walling is walling.....go to index and do some of the baby walls and then head to the wa pass and do some medium walls....there is nothing wrong with practicing, but practice in the correct medium....one that has little to now impact.. granted i will applaud the mtneers for choosing the zig zag wall, which sees little traffic, but come one guyz aiding at dis-vantage is like fucking a blow up doll( i have never done this, either activity) it might kinda be like what you want to do, but shit once everyone finds out ya did there is gonna be a lot of laughs at your actions......please leave the blow up doll alone(dis-vantage) and go practice some where real....... enjoy and be safe.....

is this the same race where the the very fortunate will be donating their prizes and other winnings to less fortuante people throughout the puget sound region?? it wouls be really cool, if outdoor enthusiasits could help people who have little to no oppertunity to enjoy the recrational playground that soo many of us enjoy!!! good luck folks and remember the less fortunate..... erik

I find it hard for me to eat when I'm working hard anyway, so I pretty much have to force myself to eat on trips. So for any early morning summit day, for me it's a Cliff bar and a couple of Vivarin for breakfast, Gu all day, and dinner in town. theres medication for that....though i think you need to find a specific doctor for the scrip.....

i'll be in on that one!!!! unless i am in yose....but in that case ill be drinkin and climbing still!!! finally pp has some logic!!!!

One key opened every model of a particular manufacturer. i wont debate with you, cuz i am sure you are right.....but you need to remember that that is a rental fleet, and the vehicle manufactur has leasing and supply aggrements with the rental agencies.......and so they can and do provide generic key coding to vehicles...... so as far as standard consumer vehicles go, no you are wrong...no as far as mass fleet vehicles go you are partially right....

zeno check out edelwiess ropes and i know mammut is/or has coming out with a super safe rope in a samller diameter...... enjoy do you still want those screws too??
