Is it Now?

[Fairweather]

It's dark in here, smells dank. Like an abandoned bunker. Water dripping in another room. Chain-lamp is out. Gotta be an old breaker panel in here somewhere.

So, who's dead? Who's alive? Assisted living facilities? Prison? Mental institutions? Reeducation camp? Did anyone get out of the PRW in time? Do people here still climb mountains like they used to? 

Let's run some routine tests:

Pass.

Excellent.

Can't say I climb 'em like I used to but still getting out.  Where's your TRs?

It smells like you! Hit the showers, it ain't good!

[olyclimber]

BTW @Fairweather we missed you at Pub Club.

[OlympicMtnBoy]

I saw Reeducation and read Reduction.  We are at that camp.

Only a part-timer here in WA now. Mostly reside in a good state, at the foot of a lonely mountain range with very small glaciers, a few grizzlies--and absolutely no face masks, patagucci attire or urban arrogance.

How's everyone here?  I see some some diehards still about, and a few good trip reports. Mount Hunter, even! Sheesh. Incredible! Where's that crazy eastern European guy with the German and Russian heritage? And that chubby goatee lightbulb artist who turned a Liberty Ridge TR into a treatise on anal sex? And Ivan THC? Is he still Zinndoctrinating young children? I actually liked him. His Ptarmigan Ridge TR remains my all-time favorite. His gate-buster Volvo video a close second.😂

 

Still climbing, I guess fit for a 60-something.  But mostly the same old high alpine traverse type stuff in a new range. Endurance, navigation, scrambling, beautiful campsites, fun. Survived a couple bouts with death a few years ago, but not in the mountains. Recovered and retired.

Pub Club? Maybe. But I would never set foot in Seattle. Haven't, in fact, for over seven years. But I have to be fair about this--it's not the city itself I dislike, rather, it's the people who live there.😁

 

Merry Christmas!

Oh, I know a few that you'd get along with swimmingly.  They all have concealed carry permits and hate masks!

But don't worry, Pub Club will be traveling out of the Seattle Metro area, @olyclimber promised.  Mount Vernon is on the list, if you can stand us!

Welcome back to the Jungle @Fairweather.  Where did you end up retiring to?

[Fairweather]

Mount Vernon is AOK. 👍 My daughter and her family live in Snohomish. Close enough.

[olyclimber]

You make it sound like your life is pretty good!  Congrats on retirement.

[Fairweather]

What are cc.com "warning points?" I believe I need some of them.

 

Mask people are the worst.

We save warning points for people who post wearing masks.

[Fairweather]

Hmmmmm, still way too quiet. I think I'll go snowshoe the shit out of someone else's ski tracks and then post about it here! 🤪

[JasonG]

We really have slipped, haven't we?  Just not the same without @ivan chiming in.

[Fairweather]

Where did he go?

[olyclimber]

He's at Muir Hut, perfuming the unwashed masses with the glorious dank.

[Fairweather]

If we use history as our North Star, he is more likely mellowing nicely at Camp Schurman.

[rbw1966]

Someone leave the door open?

[Fairweather]

...more like the gate to the cemetery!

[olyclimber]

We will all be dead soon!  

[KaskadskyjKozak]

The grim reaper keeps following me around.  I just move faster and tell him "not today, motherfucker!"

 

[StevenSeagal]

I moved to Moscow to be closer to my friend Vladimir. Russia is greatest country. Soon America will be Under Siege. Thank you for allow former CIA Agent turned Cossack to post. 

[olyclimber]

I have found that it is almost always now.
