Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 MEMO 30 September, 2002 To: P. Puget From: Dr. Flash Amazing Re: Length of posts Mr. Puget: Please try to limit the length of your posts in the future. It is already extremely difficult for many cc.com users to effectively balance their time between work and the message board, and your Odyssey-length epic posts only compound the difficulties. Please take this into account before posting another encyclopaedic tale of heroic exploits in the vertical realm. Thank you. At wit's end, Dr. Flash Amazing cc: cc.com [ 09-30-2002, 11:39 AM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ] Quote
David_Parker Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 That's about as difficult to fathom as the 5th dimension or the end of space! Quote
Dru Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 I climbed the Nose in just over 6 hours in 1992. BUT, it was the Nose on Mt. Habrich not El Cap Quote
matt_warfield Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 Well, I'll bet that Dean Potter and Tim O'Neill are already plotting a climb to recapture the record! Amazing athletes and planners all! Quote
Peter_Puget Posted September 30, 2002 Author Posted September 30, 2002 Peter's First El Cap experience: 6:00 am Peter leads off nailing away 7:00am Peter arrives at belay. 7:45am Peter is ready to haul. 8:15am Peter is very tired and frustrated 8:30am Partner has returned to the ground to see why the bag is hung up. 8:48am Peter and partner decide their haul bag is just too heavy for them to haul! 8:49am Peter and partner begin retreat! Elapsed time 'till retreat 2hrs. 48minutes. Quote

allthumbs Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 Hey CM I thought you's was goin' to pube club tonite. Quote
allthumbs Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 Dwayner- Who's this faggoty looking Jason person? Is he a transvestite cousin of yours? Why the fixation? Just curious, as I always considered you a manly man; now I'm not so sure. Quote
Dwayner Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 Trask...what you talkin' 'bout, Willis? That guy climbed the Nose in four hours....or was it the Hose....I don't recall. It's been suggested to me that "Jason" and a certain P.P. who posts on this site are one and the same. Don't quote me on that because it's all rumor. By the way, the dude's costume is all the rage in J.T. this fall! Better latch on to a few of them fancy duds of your own, or you'll never fit in at Pube Club! Quote
Peter_Puget Posted October 2, 2002 Author Posted October 2, 2002 Dwayner don't start that stuff! I still remember the way you smiled at me back in the glory days of Lycra. As your friend Donna used to say: Petey's Hot Hot Hot! Just gotta find that pic. Quote
