willstrickland Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Hola kiddies, Just passing through PDX to take care of some financial bidness on the way to cooler rock. Washington climbers...Crazy Jamie is doing you proud...did Zenyatta and on the Sea of Dreams right now in fact, and Lambone and crew were on the Trip last I saw them. No walls for me this time, partner did not come prepared and I'm too lazy to solo in the heat. Middle Cathedral area has been seeing crazy rockfall both in the descent gully from the Cat Walk (making Stoners Hwy, DNB, E butt, etc essentially off limits if you're smart), as well as in the area of the DNB. One guy trundled on himself and broke an arm in the fall on the DNB, another guy narrowly got missed on the Central Pillar from spontaneous rockfall, and a party on Lower Cathedral Spire had a flake blow ripping the belay in the process and they somehow did not go to the deck. A rope soloist on Braille Book was climbing with a soloist, didn't tie back-up knots and decked off the first pitch from 70ft. Shattered elbow and hip but stable, guys in the adjacent camp to us were above him on the 2nd pitch and rapped to give him aid then watched him get mangled after spending 5 hours to get him stable and stop the bleeding....until the chopper had a glitch on takeoff and drug the litter through the trees shearing off a 14inch diameter pine and crushing the climber to death. Highlights for me were: 1. One awesome slabby boulder problem (Blue Suede Shoes) 2. One awesome steep boulder problem (Don't make me kick your ass) 3. One relentless crack (Lunatic Fringe) 4. And one funky chimney (Reeds Direct) Took a head-first and backwards screamer off the 3rd pitch of Reed's direct when I pulled onto a face hold, crimped the shit out of it and broke the crystal off in my fingers...this was about half way up the pitch...not even at the crux. There's a good photo of the cam lobe bruises in my back from where I fliped into the wall with the rack pinned between. My belayer looked shocked...I came to rest looking eye to eye with him....then I got to finish the pitch... a mellow .10 OW move. Good times, great oldies...headed to Index and Squish soon...I need partners...drop me a line if you have weekdays free for Index/L-worth and Squish... Hasta, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasta, Will Hey Will, good to hear from you; Great TR. The Partner wasn't prepared? Gear, physically or emotionally. PM me if you want to climb something next weekend (28- 30th). Rock or alpine.

chucK Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Hey Bob, I wnet and climbed the Tooth. I did that sequence of little holds up the final headwall. I am spraying about it. I don't care what you think, but I do enjoy pissing you off by chestbeating about my latest accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 isn't it like 5.4? nice scramble. but last time i checked it was cascade climbers. are you trying to make it into cascade chuggers? your post pretty much sums up the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texplorer Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 I don't hear you talking about your lame ass ass-ents Bobby Pollack boy. Lets hear about your "redpoints." I mean I was on some overhanging "4th class" in the valley. I have been looking for someone to derate lately.. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 hey texbuttpugger- did you even leave the aiders? . last time i checked you needed fitness level of a truck driver to aid climb . by the way i need a belay slave for u- wall. can you get up such thing or do you have to bring jugs?

texplorer Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 For your info Bobbi, I rappeled the "4th class." and. . . I still haven't seen you post any of your "gnarly" climbs yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texplorer Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 If you think truck drivers can hold themselves locked off with one arm and possess balls the size of a rhino's then yes, even a truck driver can aid. Obviously you have not aided your fat ass up anything but the handrail in your bathtub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 so how is that texbuttpluger? nemesis, hydrophobia, the nose in a day, nw half dome free in a dayand rude boys in 4 weeks span? did you do daily planet yet? you're just a little cunt with a big mouth. how many 5.13 have you done?maybe churning or darkness? how about oxygen? time's up rings a bell? have you ever os 5.12? how about alpine, maybe like matterhorn in winter via n face or maybe fish on marmolada or speccio di sara? maybe cassin on cima ovest free. you probably don't even know these names deepshit.so for closer to home- how about thin red line in 14 hours? how about nightmae on woolf street or suffer machine? terminator, sea of vapors and replicant do i need to add lurking fear in 11 hours?do you even know what i am talking about you little turd?

Guest Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 your last post just did it you are a wanker. i can outclimb you any time pal. after you're done sucking wind and hanging on a pitch i lead i will give you a good shoe up the ass and a good kick to your rhino size balls to wake your sorry ass up.

allthumbs Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Bob, you ignorant slut. You are truly a repugnant fuckwad. I read your shit and wonder what crazy fucked up woman could have conceived your sorry ass. Are you the poster boy for "crack babies"? You should be.

texplorer Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Sounds like you have done your share of time on the jugs too. Do you count jugging without touching the rock a "free ascent". oooohhhh The nose in a day-its a fairy crack. Try the Salathe where you can't aid your sport crimpin 5.13 ass up an offwidth hollow flake with no pro. ooohhh the Matterhorn. That is the Mt Hood of the alps. It goes all the way up to what 16,000. Anyway, I don't care if you've climbed 5.15 or a double corniced ridge at 20,000ft. Climbing is about internal struggles, adventure, and friends having a good time. I don't even spray boulderers, ok well sometimes. If that is what their cup of tea then let them have it. As for you . . . well your a sad posturing lad.

texplorer Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 a 5.10 offwidth up higher. . . I don't remember that on the topo or on route . . . I must have cruised that pitch without even noticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willstrickland Posted June 23, 2002 Author Share Posted June 23, 2002 Talkin about doin the homies proud...Texplorer was on a damn tear down there, knockin off stiff classics in style. Partner was not prepared experientially...did not get his skills in order beforehand. Still got to do some fun classics I'd never done. Anyway, partners...I NEED partners...where are all the slackers/students who have weekdays free?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 one relentless crack (lunatic fringe) that thing is 10c need i say more? or should i say crack climbing 101? can you actually climb or you just spray and punch your clown?
