Irony at its best!!

To keep the silverton post going!!!

 

I typical trip in the Cascades:

 

Get off work early on Friday to beat traffic, oops I forgot its immpossible to beat traffic out of the Northwest. Fight traffic for two hours then drive another 2-5 hours to get somewhere good. ( Sure index is close but the season is so short, best to road trip there during the "season").

Arrive in Lilloet to send and find out that 500 climbers from Vancouver and the greater seattle area(not to mention the party of 4 from Kamloops) have beat you on the road because their sportin a bigger SUV than you. You settle for Marble Canyon but can't get on a climb because mountain clubs have 36 topropes setup and are runing TR laps(they do have the right of way over leading) Wankers!!!!

Summertime= the same but more traffic

 

Typical trip in Colorado:

 

leave work at 5:30, arrive at destination no later then 6:00 pm Set up camp and have a nice dinner. Get up and run into a couple of Wankers TRing your warmup( Yes Wankers are everywhere) Oh-well move on the other 1,000 routes in close proximity and carry on to have a great day.

Next day go up to the Park and put a new mixed route up. A nice trad M6 WI5. I guess Duncan missed this one. Do a couple of Yo Yos on the way out. Hit a couple of rocks .Damm!!! But what can you expect in Mid November.

Next Day- Avoid Wankers on Pearl Street and have a great time with Friends up in Estes. On the way home have a great ride at Hall Ranch on My 1,800(pro deal price) dollar mountain bike(almost to warm out).

A warm spell- allright: time to make the 3 hours jouney to Rifle to climb on rad limestone. Yeah I just got back from Climbing in spain for 3 weeks and the stone at rifle is as good as any we found at Siurana!!!!! Damm I sure miss that 6 hour drive to Smith. In 5 1/2 hours I'm at the Creek these days!!!

 

Yeah the mountains in the Cascades are rad!! Do I miss them? Fuck yeah. Will I move back? probably not. Are there Wankers with attitudes in CO? Forsure- but this is no different than the Cascades, Just look at all the wankers on this site.

 

if I could I would live in Canmore!!! Duh!!!!! But I can't for now. But i do spend 30-40 days there a winter.

 

Anybody who wants to check out CO can stay at my wife and I's pad. we have a spare Bed and Bath and even have a home woody on the rare chance that the weather is bad!!!! We are 6.5 minutes from Eldo!!!!

 

Vail is not world Class but is definately better than sraping around at Snoquamie pass!!!

 

Yo- Bob!!!! Yeah the Polish one!! Keep up the good work fighting the wankers. Death to the Pope!!!

 

Sometimes we are all wankers.

 

peace,
