Alpinist 10

[Billygoat]

Well I'd say it's pretty useful then. I can't think of any other current offerings that compare.

[MCash]

The Bugs article in Rock & Ice was nice.

[Billygoat]

It was. It's just that the ratio of excellence to choss the better in Alpinist than R+I, Climbing....etc.

 

There is an over-abundance of ads in the latter. And they would never tackle a subject like herbal supplements or what goes on in the back of sweaty campers. Alpinist seems freer to do what it wants.

for the record peter croft is not from squeemish. he's from ladysmith on vancouver island.

[Dru]

squamish adopted him

[stinkyclimber]

Will Chilliwack adopt you?

 

Perhaps you need to move that sofa out onto your front porch first (to join the 1981 Dodge Dart up on blocks, the rusting fridge and pile of old tires sitting in your yard). You already have the dope thing going in your favour. It'd be a cinch.

Like smelling dirty armpits and letting the filthy dog clean the dishes?? Thank god I was never a climbing bum. I coulda done without.

I thought that story was hilarious, the harlequin romance story written for the anti-social climber male.

 

A little bit of fantasy about a guy who had all the same bad habits as YOU, yet still this woman was willing to drive all the way down from Canada to climb and fuck for a whole week. No matter how disgusting you got, she'd be back for more, after just thinking about your potent B.O.! And the best part....then she leaves after he's had his fill.

 

And BTW, I'll agree with specialEd that the pot piece was totally worthless.

 

Did you guys notice our own Geordie got half a page?

[specialed]

I liked Geordie's depiction of his battle with the evil territorial snaffle. But now that Geordie lives in EASTERN Washington, he needs to get himself atleast one gun (for future encounters with snaffles and what not).

[geordie]

I owned a gun when I was a wetsider. Wore it to work most days.

I'm glad you liked the story, thanks to BigWave for letting me tell it.
