B.S.'er Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Cascade Joe..... Cascade Joe hates crowds. Cascade Joe only climbs midweek. Cascade Joe has kept the same 1-2 partners for the last 10 years. Cascade Joe keeps to himself Cascade Joe does a lot of soloing Cascade Joe doesn't smooze at climbing parking lots or base camps. Cascade Joe has never been to a gym or practice rock Cascade Joe doesn't like talking a lot Cascade Joe has been there and done that in the cascades. Cascade Joe doesn't even know the name of any other WA or BC climbers other than his partners. Cascade Joe has been a lot of places in the Cascades Cascade Joe has never visted this site. Cascade Joe has never been to pub club Cascade Joe has never been to a roundup Cascade Joe crag climbs at his own little obscure crag. Cascade Joe climbs hard Cascade Joe hauls ass in the mountains Cascade Joe leaves before dawn and gets home before midnight Cascade Joe doesn't know the gossip Cascade Joe doesn't live in Seattle. Cascade Joe has never been in a climbing club. Cascade Joe mail orders his gear. Cascade Joe keeps a journal Cascade Joe can describe every inch of a whole ton of routes Cascade Joe wouldn't recognize you Cascade Joe has passed you on skiis, in rock shoes, in aiders, in crampons, and in hiking boots Casade Joe wouldn't be recognized by you Cascade Joe doesn't hang out at the index Tavern, Gustav's, or the Highlaner in Ashford. You've never seen cascade Joe other than for a short second on a route or trail. He wears sunglasses. You don't even know Cascade Joe exists. But he does... He's out there..........omnipresent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Who give a f--- about Cascade Joe. He doesn't exactly sound like the life of the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_by_Northwest Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Who give a f--- about Cascade Joe. I don't think that's a very appropriate thing to say about someone you don't know. It also bad grammar. Clean up your act son, and stop being such a party boy yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has not been established that Joe actually exists. He appears to be someone's ideal. See you at Pub Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I guess the point is: do we as a group admire a climber, like Joe, who does not rely on affirmation from others to provide motivation for doing hard climbs? I say, to a certain extent, yes, but show me anybody who doesn't enjoy an attaboy from his buddies. Joe is something of a loner. I believe that every climber must strike some balance between the need for self aggrandisement and a sense of fulfillment that comes from within. I believe that to party is to celebrate one's accomplishements, but to party without accomplishment, or at least without having put up a good fight in the mountains is a very empty thing. But we can always celebrate the successes of our buddies, even if we ourselves haven't gotten out much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
