telemarker Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 Being the passenger as your climbing partner is scoping lines at 65 mph, sometimes in his own lane, sometimes not quite. Quote
Ireneo_Funes Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 1. Have a "meaningful" discussion with our girlfriend. so there really is only one girlfriend for all the climbers out there No, I think it's merely an example of the "royal" first person plural. Although he could be alluding to the practice of polyandry, which, according to last night's Globe Trekker, is still alive and well in the backwoods of Nepal. Quote
ken4ord Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 1. Go to Smith with a crowbar and pull bolts from popular routes during the wekend. 2. Get on some difficult sketch route with a newbie belayer that is being distracted. 3. Go climb an alpine route, can't start the route until you see the thunderheads roll in. 4. Go to the Gunks on the weekend and start retro bolting the easy classics. 5. Climb a hard route only replacing those key chain biners for real ones. 6. Turn a route at Index into an outdoor gym, complete with chipping, glue-ons, and over bolting hell out of it. Quote

AllYouCanEat Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) On a blue bird powder day, place a bunch of skiers at the bottom of the mountain and see who can fill their sock door the quickest. The winner gets to ski it while the others have to watch. The first one to whine, losses... Edited February 15, 2005 by AllYouCanEat Quote

olyclimber Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 AWESOME THREAD! 1. Climb into a plexi-glass case filled with snow creek wall ticks (just like fear factor). 2. Wear pink lycra into the Reynolds Bar in Lillooet, B.C. on an ice trip 3. Strongly endorse the traditional ethic on this website (like Royal, Yvon, or the other of America's greatest climbers would) 4. Drive all the way to central Oregon to climb a volcano other than Hood 5. Hike out of the Pickets in August in a pair of Downhill ski boot shells with the liners removed. 6. Be forced to make Vantage the only area you are allowed to go to for the rest of your life. 7. Take a huge whipper in a Whillan's harness while wearing a pair of briefs. 8. Bivy in the shitter at Muir on a hot August night in preparation for your thousandth trip up D.C. 9. Start up the approach drainage to Drury falls during an avy advisory. 10. Take a Mountaineers or NOLS course 11. Move to North Dakota 12. Eat a case of cold 10 year old malt nut Powerbars in 24 hours. Quote

catbirdseat Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Walk up to a gathering of Greg Wall, Mike Adamson, and Ray Borbon at the local watering hole, and strike up a conversation in which you advocate for gun control. Quote
archenemy Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Walk up to a gathering of Greg Wall, Mike Adamson, and Ray Borbon at the local watering hole, and strike up a conversation in which you advocate for gun control. I'll take that challenge and raise you one. You also have to mention that you joined the immigrant walk out last week. Quote
kij Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Post a "real" trip report on this site about anything easier and see what happens. I think this is wrong too but that is just my observation. Amen. I spent yesterday at Gritscone doing stuff that's easy for everyone else. All adventures to me and fun to write about -- but probably not here. Quote
kij Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 moving to Kansas....I did it from 1988-1995 and there are actually climbers there. OH MY GOD THOSE PEOPLE WERE CRAZY!!! I just moved from there, and I'm back for a few days this summer. The good news is there's been some new climbing discovered in the area. The bad news is that it's a wall at the KU gym. Quote
