It probably would not form up enough the thought of dry tooling and slamming pitons into a classic "clean pro" summer route is irresistable though. Quote

Do you have to have crappy gear, bad teeth, and a vodka-damaged liver like the "Bloc" climbers, too? Quote
MtnHigh Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 Climbing competitions. Give me a break. What are your climbing motives? Who are you all trying to impress? Some of you wanks sound serious. This is the stupidest thing cc has ever dished up. As a joke it's not even funny. Quote
RURP Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 This is RURP: This whole challenge things is LAME!!!!! It reminds me of a some juvenile high school kid saying "I bet you can not drink 12 beers...tee hee!" Grow up! RURP has spoken. Quote

Cpt.Caveman Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 I think both routes I mentioned are right on par with those Dru Quote
Dru Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman: I think both routes I mentioned are right on par with those Dru I heard neither is as impressive as the Haystack Nordwand on Si. Quote
Off_White Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 Make it simple and combine the categories, first party to do the winter ascent of either North Norweigan or the Diamond on Bear. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 Personally I would like to see if someone does the soviet route on Inspiration. I think it might be a good one. Quote
Dru Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 ya, otherwise necro might have to buy beer for alex bertulis or pete doorish or something Quote
Off_White Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 I've heard of the Soviet on Bonanza being repeated, has no one done the route on Inspiration? It looks to be a divine sufferfest. Quote
Necronomicon Posted August 29, 2002 Author Posted August 29, 2002 The objectives stand. Eve Dearborn is too inconsistent. I can still Judge AND compete, because I want the beer and a T-Shirt as well, and I would rather pony up the funds for myself than for some other slobs. Those who challenge my integrity should not compete, that simple. The selection of Corona and limes was based on the fact that I would rather drink 24 Coronas with lime than a case of something else. -J [ 08-28-2002, 12:15 PM: Message edited by: Necronomicon ] Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 What if someone just does the Eve Dearborn and the others just manage to climb the other routes. I think that would be winner take all there in one climb Quote
Necronomicon Posted August 29, 2002 Author Posted August 29, 2002 If you've seen the N. Face of Colonial in Winter, you would shut your hole about the E.D.. I have a picture of it under my sink to make me vomit if I eat some bad chemicals. -J Quote
sk Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 besides the fact that you could just go to the store and purchase a case of corona and some limes with out the sufferfest I think this whole thing sounds a bit suspicious [ 08-28-2002, 12:39 PM: Message edited by: sk ] Quote

jaee Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 quote: Originally posted by iain: speaking of twight-fests on Colonial, how was the show on Monday? I was at smith so missed out! Pretty cool. He works hard on his slide shows and music. There was 30 minutes of his earlier stuff on Hunter, Chamonix in early-mid 90's. Then he read his story about climbing the W. Butt w/ the other Mark (story in climbing). Then 14 minutes of the Czech Direct, just music and pictures, no narration. 60 hrs on the go. Quite amazing. Good for people to see the possibilites. The venue (Madison Auditorium) was a bit small, with standing room only and not enough tickets to go around. Granted, it was a show about him and his accomplishments, but still very entertaining and inspirational. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 What if someone hired a rope ninja guide and just followed all those routes. Quote
Dru Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman: What if someone hired a rope ninja guide and just followed all those routes. It would be cheaper to spend the guide fee on Corona and limes for yourself. Quote
iain Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 That's good to hear. Did he say what he's up to next? Quote
Dru Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 quote: Originally posted by sk: sur, but then you don't get the T-SHIRT real hardmen wear muumuus Quote
iain Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 speaking of twight-fests on Colonial, how was the show on Monday? I was at smith so missed out! No fair on that competition, several people here have probably already ticked those off. Quote

My motivations, quite simply, is to motivate myself, as well as to motivate the PNW climbing community, which, in my oppinion, lacks a serious "hardman/hardwoman" mentality, like they possess in Eastern Europe, for example. Steve House hit the nail on the head when he said that "Americans don't like being uncomfortable." So, for some serious discomfort, you could get a little beer (or get killed) and we're all better for it. Now, I have a ton of work to do (unlike Dru ) so I must bid you all good day. -J Quote
