She was visiting her homie Richard Pryor for a free-base hit. Ol' man din't learn nuthin' da last time he blowed his face up. Now he be torchin' up po' kitty faces, too. Da-yamm, Holmes!

Didn't he already write an autobiography of his early climbs? I thought it was called Challenge of sumpinoruther.

From my college daze climbing trips, anything by Big Country. Their first three or four albums rocked. Band's been defunct for a few years now. a bit about the lads official BC website

frank zappa was a freak The man was ahead of his time, and died before his time. He may be ahead of his time (so was Randy Roads), but his was not as good as Eddie….. Frank = real deal Eddie = poseur

frank zappa was a freak Blasphemer! Infidel! The man was ahead of his time, and died before his time.

that was cute.

oh i get those all of the time...my supe has given up rippin on me... i told him, "hey, fire me if you want"... So Rudy, with stats like that, what exactly *is* your pr0n surf:work ratio anyway?

Yeah, the river's still down, so the x-ing is cake. Day's are gonna be real short, tho, but soloing would go quicker, so it would tend to balance out. I wasn't sufficiently motivated enough last w/e to solo the Dorsal Fin, only having been on sharp end once this past year.

He he he he he That'll show 'em, CP!

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!1 Where were you LAST weekend, as I sat at Meadow Creek CG and contemplated roped solo run-out slab climbing? My penis pass is now expired, otherwise I'd be all over that offer. FAWK! FAWK! FAWK!

Or several shots...

Civil engineer, until I clicked on rmncwrtr's heidifleis linky. "You have attempted to access a restricted site. A notification has been sent to your supervisor." Now I'm just waiting for the boom to fall...

I was younger then... and stoopid. More than once, too.

Your welcome. Neither will this be. As I recall the exposure from this gulley, a pitch off the face will in all probablility be fatal. I don't recall the rating, but it is the exit from the NF bowl, yes. It seemed an awful lot harder than mid-5th class when it's running water. I still don't know how I led it. More than once. Good luck, and enjoy your climb. Write a TR when you get back. It's a great climb, and I'd love to relive it again vicariously through you.

Panos, I have not done the traverse, but have done the NF of North Peak at least twice that I can remember (maybe three times?). By my reckoning of the recent weather patterns, you will find the north-facing gully just after the "monkey traverse of the hanging gardens" quite wet, probably even running water. It was running water every damn time we did the route, and we did not find any decent protection for that pitch (but if you're going to solo it, that isn't going to matter to you anyway) until almost the top out at the ridge (the climbing on that ridge on the way to the summit is spectacularly exposed (but trivial) on your right - way cool!). Lower down in the gulley we had to scrape up thru wet heather to get to the running water - not fun. But if you can get thru that bit without pitching off the face, you should do just fine. Regarding crampons/ice axes at this time of year, I would not think you would need them. Blake is right, though, the route is going to be neither in summer nor winter conditions. But I can guarantee you it will be wet. When rapping back down from the top of the ridge above the wet gulley, take care so you don't let your rope get blown into the pine tree...

A Watched Topics issue: There used to be a little magnifying glass next to each thread that one had tagged as "watched" so you could fire off surly replies/insluts quickly and easily. Now those little magnifying glasses are gone. I know that you can still find your tagged threads in the Watched Topics section of My Stuff, but that requires you to go back each time to find the next one before you can fire off another salvo against someone. If you're already in the right forum, searching for magnifying glasses would be easy, but going back to Watched Topics becomes rather pedantic.

Hail-pummelled

Ah!

um, whoa. there must be some sort of alignment of the planets against me, or else I am human after all! If you will peek back at my post, I quoted "tvash" because I just assumed it was his post. He commonly uses the accent-written-as-it's-heard tactic, and coming from him it sounded pretty surly and know-it-all, and deserving of a little zip in a response. Now that I realize it came from you, I.. I, boy I just wish I could do it all over again! Can you bear to forgive me?!?! :cry: How you can be so sure that I'm not just another carefully hidden, created for obfuscation, cc.com State secret "tvashatar" sent here to sow the seeds of malcontent?

Why did I think that you lived up near Index? Weren't you posting pics of flooding "right out your front door" earlier this year?

The guy's got my vote! :tup:

uh, no you can't Thanks for being so helpful and explaining things... NOT! I would have expected better from you, given your post record. A reevaluation is in order.

Thanks, arch, for that clarification. Now I understand what you were referring to about eyeguards in a post of yours upthread, when you first mentioned the kill. Which was where I did my hunting over 25 years ago, and hence adding to my confusion on your count. And why I used the "Deliverance-style" language in my original post. This has already been covered. I won't drag you thru the mud any further.

Ah don' hunt no mo', but Ah kin still kownt pert'near good. Whut am Ah missin' he-yah?
