iain Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Mr. Twight will be giving a slideshow on "Alpine Climbing and the Czech Direct" at 7:30 August 26th, location TBD, in PDX. $5 @ de door. I don't think cookies and tea will be served, but action suit required as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg_W Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 In an effort to keep it "real" and "alpine", Mark only allows GU and weak, lukewarm tea to be served at his slide shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted July 1, 2002 Author Share Posted July 1, 2002 ...and his slide projector is fashioned from a sawed off snow shovel, a zipka, a 2 ft. piece of webbing, and 4 ramen noodles for adjustable feet (nibbling on them as needed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold_Slogger Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 I'll tell you what extreme alpinism is: Climbing Mt. Adams car-to-car in 15 hours with nothing but blue jeans and a tshirt and only summer sausage and gatorade to drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 goldschlagger, you are a sissy boy and a drunk. mark twit is my hero b/c he has climbed with that woman in that magazine where she's grabbin that arete with one hand and hanging over space. you, schlagger, are not a shasta slogger until you have climbed that mountain THROUGH THE CORE in a secret alien tunnel with a matching hat and purse with those fuzzy dingleberries on them. you and a hundred other new-age freaks.

Roger Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 technically, portland int'l airport, but for some reason it has become shorthand for the whole city... which is kind of weird if you think about it. I mean, nobody calls Los Angeles "LAX". Wait, what came first, seatac the airport or seatac the town? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Anti-Twight Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 All you're going to hear about is how House,Backes and himself invented the "new alpine style"(ha!) and try to sell you some GU. I'm sure the slides are great, it would just be better if it were silent, or someone else did the talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icegirl Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 sk... Yes, twight from afar, I hear ya sister... Actually his presentation is rather entertaining, some good punk music... I'd go again (if only to admire) And, yes, He has climbed a few things in the PNW, I believe the North Face of Colonial Peak "Watusi Rodeo" route has his name on it...

The_Anti-Twight Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Yeah, and you can follow the empty GU packages all the way to the summit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
