marylou Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 Peaks: somewhere in the Cascades, a long time ago. Probably involved brush. Rock: mid-late 1990s. I should stick to peaks and choss. Quote
RuMR Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 (edited) E-Rock, may I suggest that you refrain from making such obscure geographic references like "the east coast," when addressing DFA. I doubt he has really ever travelled far from Portland, nor climbed anywhere besides Smith Rock. Hey, pal, the Doctor has climbed in the Lower AND Upper Gorges as well. Psh. are those areas any good?? Edited March 10, 2005 by RuMR Quote
Off_White Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 Could be, but I think you're too short to have a good time down there, at least until shoulder stands are sport climbing approved. Quote

Psh. are those areas any good?? Totally. Lots of bolts. There are some trad routes nearby, and occasionally some of those trad climber types all a-tangle with slings and breathless with excitement over their latest siege of a 5.8, but otherwise it's pretty rad. Not as rad as the mudpile, of course, but the approach is short and flat, so that's a plus. You can just walk to the top of the crag and drop your pack to the bottom, and scramble down unencumbered, which is good when you're in flip-flops. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 at least until shoulder stands are sport climbing approved. Wait, they're not? This could seriously affect the Doctor's much-sprayed-up redpoint level. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 My first pair of climbing shoes was a pair of hand-me-down EB's from my mom. How 'bout that! That's funny, Spesh, 'cause your mom is something of a hand-me-down in the PNW climbing community, the way DFA hears it, and we ain't talkin' EBs, either. Quote
olyclimber Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 DFA, here are some fun tips for how to annoy people other than just referring to yourself in the third person all the time. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 If you're "annoyed" by Dr. Flash Amazing's communication style, perhaps you should be looking inside and asking what it is about you that keeps you from being accepting of other people's traits that are different from your own. Perhaps you're too caught up in seeing how you "measure up" to the other guy, and, in your failure to "keep up with the Joneses (or the Dr. Flash Amazings)," you've lost sight of the fact that it's OK just to be you. DFA's not here to judge or put down, but to help. You could start returning the favor by employing some humility and respect, for yourself and others. Just a suggestion; we're all trying to get along, here. Quote

Maybe I enjoy being annoyed, and was just giving you some tips so you could diversify. You've really got to step back from your narrow-minded perspective and give life a chance. It just seems to be passing you by. Think about the First Person as just another tool to add to your amazing doctorial arsenal...open up and expand your horizons. Quote

Course havin' to listen to special gettin' romantic w/ his goat/sheep sorta ruins the ambience... Quote

That chimp, which is a monkey by the way, tore an old man's testicles right off of his body. That's an impressive feat of grip strength! - a s s m n k e y Quote
Lyger Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 I started climbing so long ago, Jesus was my belayer. Quote
