John Frieh Posted May 16, 2005 Author Posted May 16, 2005 Next session will be Tuesday May 17th 3:30ish – pump. Call me if you are coming... 541.231.2062. Holla! Also: is anyone interested in starting a weekly rock climbing night? Sport, trad, aid, drytool... I don't care... I'm just looking for some consistent weekly climbers. Give me a shout if you are interested! Quote
olyclimber Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 Nolse, now that I've met you in person, lets talk. What does "pump" mean? If I was in PDX, I would definitely check it out. Quote
John Frieh Posted May 16, 2005 Author Posted May 16, 2005 Perhaps it is an age thing (specifically my lack of) but my understanding of the term “pump” when used to describe a climbing induced condition is a state when one has reached muscle failure and “pumped out” due to a build up of lactic acid in the forearms. Synonyms include “flame” or “flamed out”, “gripped” or “gripped out”, and so on. And I said my understanding because chances are I am wrong! It was my impression that the term “pump” was as commonplace in a climber’s vocabulary as “beta"… perhaps I was mistaken or... perhaps this is you baiting me yet again… you are the only individual I know that precluded their formal introduction with the phrase “you might want to hit me”… If you truly are interested you and the SEA kids should organize some type of climb (sport, trad, aid, dtool) night… based on the turnout you get for weekly pub clubs I don’t see why you wouldn’t see a lot of interest. This is a climbing board with a drinking problem... not a drinking board with a climbing problem... right? Quote
olyclimber Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 I was serious. I've heard of "pump" in terms of "gripped", but not in the context you were using it. As you can see from the SEA pubclub thread, organizing anything with this group is like herding cats. Quote
John Frieh Posted May 16, 2005 Author Posted May 16, 2005 We climb until we are too pumped too (or if Ivan hits himself in the head with his adze ). Start something... only the truly interested people (the type of people you want to climb with anyways) will attend and the rest of the cats can sit at home and spray . Quote
ivan Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 shit, reminds me to take the business end off 'fore 2night! so anyone else showing up today for the dt madness? come discover the truly cool thing about dt'ing: it don't matter if it's raining or not, it's just as easy to stay stuck! Quote
MtnHigh Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Wet tool night is only for the hard climber. I was keep warm and dry that night pulling plastic in the gym. Quote
John Frieh Posted May 19, 2005 Author Posted May 19, 2005 So does this mean you'll come out when the weather is warm and dry Pete? And will you bring Butch? It is almost June! Quote
John Frieh Posted June 10, 2005 Author Posted June 10, 2005 Next session will be Tuesday June 14th 5ish – pump. Call me if you are coming... 541.231.2062. Holla! 5 PDXers were rock climbing last week... anybody else interested? Sport, trad, aid, drytool... I don't care... Give me or Ivan or Bill a shout if you are interested! Quote
