Dwayner Posted January 2, 2002 Posted January 2, 2002 Ahoy fellow Crag-monkeys!I just came up with a great idea which I think you'll all want to endorse. Let's declare 2002 the "Year of Big Lou"! I would like to initiate the festivities by presenting here an inspirational poem submitted by myself to this site back in the year Suck2001. Lou...Half man/half sasquatch denizen of Tacoma's great white monster.Human burro of the overloaded Jan-Sport.Sir Lou....half glacier/half moraine,master of Rainier's glassy tormented slopes, yet awed, nay, humbled by its grandeur... pressure-breathing giant of the Ingraham, you had me at "rest-step". A thousand blonde monotone guides fail in imitation.Lou.....you complete me. Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the Year of Big Lou. Quote

Perhaps you should quit talking so much crap and start climbing. BURP has farted. Quote

Matt Posted January 8, 2002 Posted January 8, 2002 Over the holidays I read "Lou Whittaker: Memoirs of a Mountain Guide" and now I understand what all the hoopla is all about! This man is the undisputed king of the mountain! What an ego! I've been putting off climbing Mt. Rainer for too long now. This year I'm going to do it and my inspiration will be Big Lou. I'm curious if any cc.commers are members of the "Rim Club." Sounds like fun! Awesome book! A must for any Washington climber's shelf! Quote
AlpineK Posted January 8, 2002 Posted January 8, 2002 You know I don't get it. I've never read this Lou book, but I think I know enough to have an oppinion about Lou. I don't give a rats ass about some guy who hikes up and down Rainier over and over. Also the guy has a sweetheart deal with the Park Service for guiding on the big R. I bet tax payers end up subsidizing his business just like tax payers subsidize logging and mining companys on public land. I'm getting the impression that Dwayner and Pope have some wierd sicko sexual fantasies concerning Lou. Quote
Dru Posted January 8, 2002 Posted January 8, 2002 I think its unfair that there is a U-joint but nothing called a Lou-joint. It would have to be a 6 ft long carrot blunt with its own little tripod to support the other end and you would look like one of those Tibetan horn player lamas while you were toking on it. I nominate strickland to roll one with his supply of "dank nuggets" and using a copy of High Times for rolling paper. Quote

Matt Posted January 8, 2002 Posted January 8, 2002 I thought it was pretty lame when Lou said, "I don't want to die from an accident in the mountains, I want to die of old age, in my bed with the television on." Come on Lou! I'd rather die sport climbing than watching tv. I'd rather die bowling! What kind of montain climbing maven says he'd like to die watching television? Quote
Dru Posted January 8, 2002 Posted January 8, 2002 UM.... In Beckey volume 3 there is a statement about how Cathedral Peak was formed by glaciers exploiting master joints. Hh heh "exploited master joints" he heh. Quote
nolanr Posted January 9, 2002 Posted January 9, 2002 Unless Big Lou meant he wanted to die while bedding some 20 year old hottie... Quote
