shit bag where did i say "unless"?

so i was finally able to force one of my friends to go to the tieton with me. the place is soo damn cool that it really is hard to describe, the coolness of it. sadly i have only ever cimbed at the crags in the lower canyon, which are quite good. so erik and i met at our uncommunicated secondary meeting time of 8pm at the enumclaw safeway. i totally prefer the laid back drive up and over 410 and down the american river....camp somewhere along the way as the ice cold beer is calling out to us! pull over and remark what a great spot we found in the middle of the night!!!! vvrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmm oops guess not!! after all the backroad driving we only evert paralleled the damn thing!! wake up at 930ish and mull around make some coffee, make some chorizo and eggs, make some coffee and ponder life till lunch time!!! the royal column and the new bridge! sure is nice! we met up with the WAC group who was enjoying the sun and the fine rock. teaching and learning how to lead climb. funny way they go about it, but had no problems kickin it with them and sharing the rock. hmmmm maybe all those rumors are not true?? i dunnoo? once the sun becomes too much we escape for the river, beer and the yellow jackets!!!! off to th store to get ice and more beer and some firewood. rude biatch at the store!!!! go down to indian joe's!! we kicked it for 20 minutes. dont go to the trout lodge, go to blocks down to the sporting goods store!!!!! dinner...dinner...dinner.....and more beer!! erik and i stay up late making sure the beer is gone and firewood burned!!......too bed! man why do i have to get up and pee 50 times a night?? sheesh!!! up at an early 10.....same schedule as yesterday....today none of the lower crags sound like what we need....so i call a whim and say we need to search for wildcat cliff. where's it at?? i dunno....wildcat road??? up and down the highway watching all the silly rafters!!! there it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! up the road wrong turn, wrong turn, wrong turn....hey!!! some chalk and bolts!!! all right we found some climbing!!!!!! don't i notice that bearded man in the trees!!! no way it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woot!!!!! it is the man who shaped my formidable climbing years!!!!! the 1st thing ole boy sez is "man your website is too much! too much spray! where's the climbing? i would love to share info and what not, but not with all the spray"..i bashidly shy away from the topic for a bit......so he gives us the grand tour of the wildcat and what an area!!!! so many amazing and hard climbs to be had!!! i convince erik he needs to lead a route that he thinks he is not ready for!!! bling bling!!! with some work and a bit of determination erik gets the send and makes his day???? we go about and enjoy the great rock and nice temps!! at this wonderful crag......towards the end of the day!!! my old buddy coaxes us onto one more route ..i call out until i fall and then find myself working the crux till complete exhaustion!!! upon lowering erik asks should i? and i respond back hell yeah!!!! and once a grade, a route that erik never thought he could do!!! he practically flashes it!!!! now that is a day of climbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lazy hike back up to the beer and a sleepy ride home.

actually muffy i do not have selective memory muffy and your assertation that i do is bullshit. so if they once posted such glorious tr's why dont they now? instead they set out to insult people about their style of climbing. calling them fags and weak. seems like some real winners there. so i still do not see your point other then to attempt to deface my statement.

nice work matt! wa pass is dome rocking good!

personally i cannot recall one climbing related bit of info that dwyaner has ever shared outside of his bolting rants. and that certainly does not help anyone or anything. i cant think of any beta, any stories or any trip reports from dwyaner. no pics that he has ever posted have ever been climbing realted, they seemed to tend to be for the purpose of mocking people. so where is the worth of dwayner if he contributes no climbing realted information on a climbing website????? i think there are alot of people who should look at what they post and ask themselves where's there climbing related info? questions, tr, beta, little insights and stories about climbing is what this website is and should be about.

i just think it odd, that one form of air transporation is okay, but another is not. irregardless of the time duration it is still the same thing. and sorry for discussing it fern.

how so? can one not fly anywhere in the coast range? so what is the difference between landing once and landing 3 times? it does sound slightly like local elitism. does it have anything to do with the fact that the company is out of arizona? i personally dont have an opinion on this, i just dont see what the big deal is.

well that is certainly gonna ruin a really nice area. says that was likely caused by humans. i hope those folks are glad they ruined the area. some of that terrain is pretty remote, i bet with permit tracking they will bust people. wouldnt it be weird if the deforrest service used this site as a tool to track and possible monitor some climbers whereabouts and usage of areas in an effort to prosacute?? anyone who went back there recently get a phone call or a visit by the balck helos??

can you not fly into the wadd range currently? as well as the rest of the listed mtns?? i thought only world heritage parks had a complete ban on all mechincal anything!

one of my b-days a couple of us dosed....and the next day i was went over to my friend d's house. he told me in secret that we woke up early and smelt shit on himself....his dog was in bedm so he got all pissed and started to kick at it and yell..tho when he got out of bed he figured out it was him who did it!!!! then there is the classic blacking out and getting pissed on stories

werd my brutha!!

timm@y that is messed up how you post a pic of some dude commiting suicide!! wheres the conpassion??? what an ass!

but where are the laws to be noted??? i noted the bicycle laws and it says that if the cyclist is at the cross walk or the sidewalk they are pedestrians. so it would be mean if they were on the roadway then they must abide by vehicle traffic laws. cite your laws!!!!!

ahhhh society today!!! aint it great!!

LEFT OVERS AND BEER!! I GOTTA DRIVE!

i just found the law. link it states any cyclist using the sidewalk or cross walk is a pedestrain, but not the ones on the street. fine line there.

well i have been searching alot of the wsdot and other state websites that contain the laws. there is nothing stating as a state law that bicyclists have the right away. it states they are vehicles and must obey state traffic laws. they are not pedestrians, pedestrians do have the right a way bicyclists dont. here is a link from there there are lots of other links to the other info i was reading. if you have a link to the actual law stating cyclists have the right a way i would be interested in reading it.

uhh....all brushed nylon does that. trade them to me...i got a pair of dockers all polyester slacks i'll trade you! they are pimp and uber tech fabric!!!

the hands finger crack one route right of cruel sister at smith. it always looks so good, but i always seem to hesitate making the finger moves! damn!!!! this next weekend!!!!

heh, will strickland and i went there a few years back!! ruined the whole next day!!! i puked twice on the way to my grandma's weding! beacon is the place to go layton. i have not been to the other places(well rock butte, but i was a kid looking to vadalize and just fuck shit up!!! and then there is this cool climbing place about 5 hours north of you called the n cascades!!!

so it is okay to beat people who honk at you? i don't see the correlation to it? i hope the bicyclist is accosted in prison for beating a man in front of his family. what does this sotry illustrate? that cyclists are assholes too? the poor me attitude is reallt pathetic. biking like climbing is inherrantly dangerous. do cyclists attempt to avoid this thought? people in cars get cut off by other people in cars, the get in accidents, they make mistakes. but apprently if you are riding on a bike you are better then them???? hmmmm

got me some pork spare ribs baking in the oven. coated in my own sauce!! garlic mashed potatoes and broccali!!!! a couple of red hook esb 22ozers and i will be ready to go out!

whats the point of having multiple avatars?
