The_North_Face Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 Join alpinist and author, Dan Cauthorn, for an evening of slides and stories of over two decades of climbing adventures. Highlights of this retrospective program include new and classic routes in the Cascades, explorations in the Coast Range of British Columbia, and an exciting ascent of the West Face of Cerro Torre in Patagonia. Additionally, Dan will recount his remarkable 1995 first ascent of the steep and elegant south buttress of Burkett Needle, a rock sentinel in southeast Alaska that had seen just one previous ascent in 1964 by the legendary Layton Kor. Dan Cauthorn is a Seattle native and long time Cascade climber. He was co-founder of the first indoor climbing gym in the United States, Vertical World, authored the popular book, Gym to Crag, and is currently a manufacturer's rep for W.L. Gore. This program is guaranteed to inspire climbers of all interests and abilities. Place: The North Face, 1023 1st.Ave Date: Wednesday, May 15th Time: 7:30pm Cost: FREE!!! We will also be serving some snacks and drinks. Hope to see you there! Quote
AlpineK Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 I don't have anything bad to say about Dan, but that fucking Steamer is a major wanker and he shops at the North Face. Quote
fleblebleb Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 Hey Turd, maybe he's just a regular guy that's climbed lots of stuff and has cool photos to share? Â Even if he isn't you don't have to worry since whatever he's got probably isn't contagious and you're stuck in Cali anyways. Â Bring on the spray... Quote

Steamer Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 Just asking a question. I was under the impression that all climbers that do North Face slide shows were sell-outs. Quote

Lowell_Skoog Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 Interesting question. I've done two or three shows at the North Face over the past 15 years. Typically I put a show together at the request of some club, then the store manager hears about it and asks if I'd be willing to show it at the store. Typically the managers have been nice guys, so if I'm not too busy I say okay. Â The North Face does pay for speakers. But I make my living as an engineer and the speaker's fee doesn't cover the time I put into it. Â Am I a sellout? Â [ 05-10-2002, 04:42 PM: Message edited by: Lowell Skoog ] Quote
northfork Posted May 12, 2002 Posted May 12, 2002 Technically if you accepted $ you are sold off. Your not pure. Sorry Lowell. What the heck. Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted May 12, 2002 Posted May 12, 2002 COME ON GUYS YOU CAN SPRAY BETTER THAN THAT!!!!! Quote
Steamer Posted May 12, 2002 Posted May 12, 2002 Allright, on a serious note, Lowell I do not know you or all of the things you or your brother(s) have done. However, I do know you have many accomplishments and have made many contributions to climbing in the PNW. For that, I have nothing but the highest regards for you. I do not know Dan Cauthorn and have never heard his name before. I have no opinion of him or his accomplishments. I do not care what slide shows you do today or in the future. I was merely attempting to inflame (stir the pot) those that have expressed the "sell-out" mentality on this site in the past w/o having any real knowledge of the individuals. Peace to both Dan and Lowell. To SK, CircleK, Trask, et al. you can suck my big fat one! Quote

allthumbs Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 Steamer, the only fat one relating to you is your fat coil. Sorry, but I'm not into the 'scat' scene. Try the Kali-crowd, aren't they the trendsetters? Quote
