I don't post much on this site because there are few folks here, especially you two, that post so much useless crap that it's hard to sift through all the bullshit and find some worthwhile reading. I'm sure this one will earn me your love though, hope to hear from you soon! dru and caveman, what is your problem????? your guys sense of humor is waaayyyyy toooooo much, shit i mean what in the world are you trying to do by having some fun by highlighting other's little context errors and just as equal stupid remarks???!!! no wonder you guys are that way you are!!!! shit, probably don't ever climb anyhting either do ya???? fucking keyboard jockey's!!!! you need to get more like me and get a different job where oyu have to stay away from the computer. now i get to listen to equally worthless banter, but now with a even more wretched sraying topics....girlz and how much you can drink, and when i start talking about climbing people's eyes glaze over and they talk about their new 45" tires......you guys are spoiled!!!!!!!

i'd have to agree with you on that one alpine tom. people that think rei or any retail store for that matter is some sort of equipment leasing agency, is way off base. i am sure you could consider some people's actions as criminal with thier return and exchange inc.... i might not be the best citizen, but i do know from right and wrong and try to subsist comfortably in the middle. with my morrals taking control.

special! hey man how's it going??? how was your trip to da valley, hope all is well!

on that boulderng note, who is the jackass that has waaaayyyyyyyyy over chaulked that traverse at the base of the lower wall??????? it looks like shit. and i wouldn't think you would need chaulk for something you can do in your shoes!!! or am i just spraying!!!! phil whats the verditc on this one?!!~

ray you is soooo bad. getting stuff done!!! nice work!

look in the the brown becky book, they are on the alpine lakes high traverse. staring from north fork snoq ll the way to the stevens pass, i think.

the only part i like is spotin' the ladies. matter of fact the ask you! "hey you mind staring at my ass and then letting fall into your arms, while i grunt and moan. in retrospect i think only women should boulder. and ladies i spot real well!!!!! as far as training goes, i think if i wanted to exclusivly climb for 15 ft, then i would do it. but since i like to climb 15oo ft, i 'll ust work on that!! back to the midnight hours!

i'll spray for dave!!! he rocks! plus he is bad ass! phil you might need to be wrong once in awhile. it's okay bro! and i'll spray again centerfold...centerfold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and the pages are to slippery to use as toliet paper!

glad i didn't go climbing with ole' dril this weekend, that is about the last thing i want is a canadian taking me out!

i'll host da pub club at the swiss. though someone will have to call them and let them know we are coming. i will be hard at work tommorow paddling a kayak. here's their # (253) 572-2821

i'll bring my slack line, as always!

blakley i will let you off with that one, man you are give us too many easy set ups. so i will just be nice [This message has been edited by erik (edited 09-04-2001).]

t-town hoop-t leaves at 5:30. let me know! dwayner check. erik check. anyone else?

http://www.tacomascrew.com/ thats where you would get stuff to make heads and the what not, probably your best bet. but i am sure there are other suppliers as well.

matt ski- too bad about your rope and picket. though i would say you used poor judgement leaving gear. remember this is america. the theroretical ethics dictates that you would not leave gear behind in an alpine setting. especailly as a guide. you are to set an example for your clients and leaving gear/garbage is not a good one. you also need to remember you are using public land for your own gains, so i would say that you have to follow a different standard, you need to respect the land more and give more consideration to others in the area and i would say fixing a rope to aid in your profits is wrong in the first place. you have know these people possibly have the idea that this is an accepted practice. i wouldn't leave a fixed anything. especially in b. basin. i hope you get your stuff back, and if the yo's that got are reading all this crap then they have no excuse for not returning it.

looks real good chucK. i like the realism of your writing an'shit!! take it easy kids off to some more fun!

blakely you must be some sort of executive to a lubricant company! what a job! and i mena that!

sorry drul, mine is buried i am off to tahoe, but will make sure that i will be able to write druls and mine portion of the story. you kids be good while i am gone!

rigid crampons ball up like it is going out of style. they are best and only application in my opinion for ice climbing. sure oyu can get away with it, but what a pain in the ass. there is no flex so it is akward to walk in anyways.

i learned that if you are enduring a forced bivi, you should hit your partner in the head, take his clothes and food. not everyone has to suffer, just the unassuming!

an llmm rope is seriously unneccesary gear, cept for aid climbing.
