house rulez: 1. no fighting until the host kisses your old lady. 2. no fighting until there is at least a $100 kitty. the house get 75% 3. no fightting if you are beating up the host 4. no guns, knives or ice tools....the house will provide all weapons 5. no fighting because the other guy doesn't eat red meat 6. if you spill beer...be ready to fight 7. if want to drive drunk....be ready to fight 8. if you are wearing a lycra tights be ready to fight 9. all must have tons of fun 10. no can-yucks (we gotta be 1/2 way classy) if we can agree to these rulz then it will be a good party. THESE WERE THE HOUSE RULZ WHEN I PARTIED A LONG TIME AGO. THOUGH I STILL SEE THEM FITTING.

tc has better anchors. but i doubt you will die either way.

pencil, bro i tried this last winter, everyone wanted to go, but no one had the time. i even offered my house and an alternate and even lined up the keg. if people still want to do it, i will help organize. oh, by the way i am my screen name!

no you have to do the bolt ladder that links to green drag-on, or you won't have climbed the route. i am talkin about the final low 5th class pitch to the top of the wall. now that shit is worthless!

bone, standard rack is cool. if you have a cheater stick the boys down at the rifle range will blast you. though offsets are key for the "hard" pitches, the secret beta as with all aid climbing "high step!" rap the route and do not do the last pitch to the top it is a waste of time and it means you have to rap one more pitch. don't know why you would want to sleep on it. too much work getting all the shit up there. enjoy! all new bolts on the route.

why would anyone want to drive by steve swenson's house?! i son't hink he ever read chris jones's article on the aac. and still believes it works in the old ways. can i bring i carton of eggs on your tour!

contact daryl cramer, the auther of the current index guide book, he has a fund to replace old/bad bolts. his bro's and he are quite nice and do many anchor/bolt replacments. a service which mostly goes unnoticed/little thanks. and 70m rope is just about the best thing for index. you can get off most routes with just one rope.

ginsing works quite well! i have been using it off and on for sometime. there is a noticable difference in performance. like anything excepet sex, it needs to used in moderation with periods of on and off. i would personally recommend triple ginsing by gnc, a little more pricy but the potency is good. becareful and experiment slowly to make sure you don't have any adverse affects.

it's fun but dangergous! only do it if you feel completely at ease with the situation. never let anyone pressure you into it. never solo at or near your maximum level!

this is the ultimate climbing rig. f250 xtra cab with power stroke turbo diesel. there is aboot that removes the windows between the canopy and cab. we sleep 4 very comfortably. and you can camp in it in the winter. many a trips taken with this thing and many more. the only set back is gaz milage but with 4 it is cool and 2 is not that bad. more shit can fit in it then you want to know about. side note. notice little mike regulating john. nothing like a pucnh to the temple to decied who is doing the dishes.

will, if you are taking orders! and here is some relevant stuff from awhile ago. before all the legends left http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/ubb/Forum9/HTML/000013.html [This message has been edited by erik (edited 06-21-2001).]

look at this i found a pic of zeno/a the wonder student. you like kinda like my old 3rd grade teacher!

hak, i would hardly say it has too much to do with culture, we are all americans and share the same basic principals...excess! think about this....who is going to go and replace all these aging bolts? sure they are fine now, but ten years...twenty years....this issue i am sure is not considered by some route setters. i mean could you imagine going back to a grid bolted cliff with the intent to replace them all! burdo is dedicated man, but should we expect him to maintain all this! someone has too, and who is it going to be? sure as hell won't be me, i will be enjoying the art of natural protection! the cost, the wrist pain ohhh the travisty of grid bolting!

http://www.nps.gov/morningreport/msg00886.html ahhh the proper maintance of a themonuculear for display purposes. sounds nice. i wonder who will get the 1st free ascent of the 55.8ft tool of death? remember no pitons boys!

mista pope, i am indorsing no political party, i just find that the bleeding heart we want to take care of everyone who can fucking whine and make some pathetic excuse why they can't work and need public aid group kinda makes me sick. sure 'w' ain't near the brightest light bulb in the chandalier, if he is even in the chandalier. but seriously all beauracacy sucks ass! i will publicly annouce the creation of the new political party next week.....stay tuned.....

e ridge is much more entertaining then the s face. we simul-climbed it last year and only clipped one piece of gear, it happend to belong to the people in front of us. they left it, cause they couldn't clean it. #1 camalot. i gave it back to them but kept the biner! avoid the crowds and do this route. plus the traverse of all the ingalls peaks is a good one too! i would recommend walking off the west side and not rapping the face to avoid the cluster-fuck that is caused by huge parties pushing thier limits.

RECOMONDATIONS FOR OBTAINING PARTNERS & KEEPING THEM: 1. if you are setting plans and the bro who is going to take you, tells you that he is leaving a warm sexually inviting bed containing his beautuful girlfriend and that he was originally going to spend the day with her, your ass better be there. especailly if he is driving to the eastside of king county from tacoma, during rush hours! 2. if you do have to bail and you know your bro, doesn't have a phone # to call, and who knows if he will be checking his email in the morning. you might want to leave a note on your door, outlining the situation. so he can better deal with and not wait around the front of your house, thinking you are possibly asleep, cause that is where wants to be.(asleep!) 3. if are unable to contct your bro(and feel real bad about it) you might want to do a follow up email or some sort of similar communication. especially if you want to climb with him again. 4. and hope that his bro jamie in kirkland is home, so he can go to index and salvage the wasted drive! with these and a few other litle tricks of the trade you can too can have a healthy climbing partnership with many hard cranking homeboys and girlz!

i will agree with matt, my spyderco make a very nice cheese cutting knife! the only problem i find is that the cream cheese gets all gummed up in the serrated teeth. i got to be really careful licking it. figure there are a couple self-rescue methods that you could employ, before cutting your bro off the short end. then again i didn't take lame-bone's rescue class, so whoreally does know what i know.

zeno, i love you man! if you even read what was above you would see the hint of sarcasm in it! but then again a well educated person like yourself probably wouldn't lower yourself to it. i love your cross postings.....nice guy here shit talker elsewhere. http://mtncommunity.org/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=read_count&om=226&forum=DCForumID1&omm=0 errrr.....the wacky tabacky eh! peace out dog!

http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000076.html the noth face route is way SICK dude!
