AA Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 smith in november, do i have a hostess for the weekend?
Mr._Natural Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 I think I am the only person to have ever gotten off route on Givlers. Thanks to Greg for eventaully muttering something like "yeah, most people traverse into the crak at the lower bush" its not even my first time on it.
Gordonb Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 It was fun to put names to faces. I got to the CC.com camp fire in time to meet everyone before they split to climb XY cracks. The whole crew was pretty far gone by the time I got there. Â I did get to follow SK up R&D and got ragged on by my wife and sister for letting her and Greg W jump ahead of us.
Cpt.Caveman Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 I have seen 2 other people get offroute on that thing. Â Sisu Suomi and one other partner. Â I just laughed as they flailed complaining about the dirty rock and less pro. Â
Mr._Natural Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 hehehe, glad i am not the only retard out there. i have an excuse though, shhhhhhh. I had that fucker sewn up. backed the fuck off before i had to do any real downclimbing. Â [ 09-30-2002, 10:02 AM: Message edited by: Mr. Natural ]

Thanks much, Gordon; I hope we didn't slow you up too much. That was better than trying to pass on-route; I tried to yard on SK as much as possible to keep her moving . Â Greg W

TimL Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 To bad Fred Rogers and I didn't run into you guys this weekend, although thanks to Erik for drawing in the window window dirt. After not having been cragging in months I forgot how fun and relaxing Leavenworth can be. Saturday morning after a false start, Fred forgot the topo in his car, he headed of the Leavenworth and made the hike up to the Pearly Gates. Its amazing the amout of good stuff up at that crag. Thanks to the folks who equipted the area. Its really user friendly. Sunday morning made the hike up to 8 mile buttress. Warmed up on Radio Sex in the wind and rain. Then climbed Scholar with a Dollar and Lazy Boy in light rain, thank god they overhang a bit. I'd have to say both Scholar with a Dollar and Lazy Boy offer some of the best climbing in Leavenworth for the grade. Also I must say thanks to Fred for being my belay bitch Sunday morning. Then did the new route on Icicle Buttress left of Love Donut. I must say the people who put this up found a hidden gem. the route is super fun. One word of caution, when rapping from the top of the 3rd pitch with a 60m rope, it will not make it all the way down to the chains on the top of the second pitch. You must rap into the obvious gulley and either belay from single bolt or scramble over to the 2nd pitch chains. Also, with a 60m rope you can run pitch 1 and 2 together to make a fun 180 ft. pitch.

Greg_W Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 Shredmaximus, since you're here. Could you explain the shenanigans on Givler's? I don't think I got the whole story. Did you guys belay at a bolt station to the right of the crack on the second pitch? Â Greg W
AA Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 SKANKY? STYLIST? Is that the best you can do Daisy? I have better things to do than play along with you're little elementary squabble... I am neither 'skanky' nor do I have/need/want a stylist... high-maintenance is not something I want to aspire to be....
Mr._Natural Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 night time drunken climbing is good training for high alt single pushes. Â [ 09-30-2002, 01:04 PM: Message edited by: Mr. Natural ]
Greg_W Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 AA - Worry not, you are THIRD from Right and FOURTH from Left in that photo. Daisy is disparaging our very own Erik, who doesn't look very feminine in that photo if you ask me.
sk Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 I believe that daisy was refering to uhhhhhhh erik not the lovely AA
daisy Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 That's Erik? It must be true about the effects of THC on enanching production of male estrogen. Â AA honey I wasnt calling you Skanky. You look like you could be in the girls of cc.com calendar. Miss April Fool maybe
AA Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 No worries! Couldn't help but laugh!! The 'girl' part seemed directed at the ONLY girl in the pic!
