well it has been a while since i started to grace this fine website with my mindless drivel and just wanted to say that i appreciate all the work and bullshit mr tim and mr jon have to deal with. another thing is all the great people i have met and climbed with because of this site. mr. goodtime dr. jay dave parker the good cpt. adamson timL adian terry if i left you off the list there is a reason. hopefully in the last few months that i have to spend in the casecades, i hope that we all can have fun and be safe. p.s. i would also like to say thank you to my boss for allowing so many hours of unproductivity while attempting to make sure th internet is bogged down with sarcasm and other worth-little material!

i guess they were too busy dealing with all those other criminal acts taking place in the icicle. that week. trail pass violaters.

unless, he is in charge of the pnw aac branch and does not repsond to emails about me and others wanting to help orgainze events in the section. going to his son's graduation! wow! if my parents would have only come home from vacation to attend mine, i might have been a better person. personally, the above would seem like an event cast in stone. is there not life beyond climbing? family is the greatest accomplishment.

Attn: Trad Klan members, or anyone else planing on going to index this weekend. There is a huge jibber-fest(ww kayking) festival happening in Index this weekend. So be careful, them jibbers are a wiley bunch. Then again, they have kegs and a band. http://www.image-that.com/skyfest/

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.....
