Dru Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 Whoa dude... like one time, I went to try this boulder problem, and, like, I couldn't get my toothbrush out of the holder on the chalk bucket... and I had to go for the send with unbrushed holds...and there was a pine cone on my bouldering mat... WAY EPIC! Quote
leejams Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 Jeeezz dru don't leave us hanging! What happened next? Quote
erik Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 i think that was the time dru said that his attention was taken by a beautiful red haired snaffle, so he whipped and they made passionate canadian love on his crash pad! Â Quote
specialed Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 So there's a hermaphroditic canadian snafflehound pregnant with Dru's love child running wild in the British Columbian wilderness?! Â Call the Enquirer!!! Quote
iain Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 anyone catch that recent Enquirer w/ Saddam in a dress smoking a cigar? priceless. Quote
randyjgoat Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 call me an old fashioned trogledyte who wants to stiffle the evolution of our sport, but that is all the more reason I will stay with my leashes. If my tool[ ice axe , comaaaann , not that tool] is placed solid in ice my shoulder would have to dislocate and rip off before I took a fall. Â Was he even in ice, or was it a hooked rock placement? was it possible for him to get a line from someone else from above? I think the other dude helping could have replaced the draw with another. Easy to say though from behind this computer. Â Closest thing I've had to that was I was soloing a 3 probably about 80 feet up and the leash on my right hand somehow slipped over my hand , over the top of the tool, and was pinned between the ice and my knuckles. The placement with the right tool was pretty good, the left tool was a real shabby placement into some slush. I forgot how I got my hand back in to the leash, but I'm sure it was pretty ugly from below. Quote

joepuryear Posted March 7, 2003 Posted March 7, 2003 Here are photos of the route in question on the day in question, (not the climber in question). X marks the last bolt. Â Â Quote
joepuryear Posted March 7, 2003 Posted March 7, 2003 Here's one more, note boot and quickdraw. Get the idea? Â Quote
Dru Posted March 7, 2003 Posted March 7, 2003 I saw that name Joe Puryear in an AAJ once. Be aware that under UN Resolution 666, any "Cascade legends" are banned from posting here unless using a fake name!! Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted March 7, 2003 Posted March 7, 2003 I'll be honest and say I'd take the fall. But to learn from it is different. That doesnt mean you'll know what to do when it happens to you even if you read this though... Quote
