alexbaker Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Is it out? I think they should seriuosly consider changing the rating of spiderman from a 3 pitch 5.7 to a one pitch 5.6c/d. Also, that crack at the begining of the west face of monkey face is misgraded. (The real west face) I think it felt much more like C1+ than 5.11. I mean seriuosly, who rated that shit? Is it too late to change it? Oh ya, to whoever is making the new book. Make sure you still call the west face variation the 13a variation. I love telling girls in the parking lot i climbed the 13a on monkey face. Oh ya, and to all the people who sit at morning glory wall with down coats on in the summer heat while their dog chews on my rope, wtf? I dont hate you, your probably a good person, but i just dont understand. Thanks for listening alex Quote

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Oh ya, and to all the people who sit at morning glory wall [who climb harder than I do], wtf? I dont hate you, your probably a good person, but i just dont understand. Try harder; maybe then you'll understand. Quote
Dru Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 So who is that guy in the pink shirt on the cover anyway? DFA, do you wear a pink shirt? Quote

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Not to mention, that chuffer is trad climbing. How gauche. Quote
corvallisclimb Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) I acctually recevied an email from Alan Watts requesting info on new routes I put up out in the marsupials. So I belive he is acctually working hard on it to include everything, and to get the book finished. Edited January 3, 2006 by corvallisclimb Quote
AFIVE Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 I heard that Alans computer crashed with all the info in it! Don't know if it's just talk, but that is what I heard and that he had had it, and threw in the towel on the guide. The new cover looks nice. Does anyone actually have a copy of one? Quote
AFIVE Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I sent Alan an e-mail to ask the man himself. He said that he had been working full time on the book for the past four months and he will need another two months to finish the intro chapter, take photo's, and draw some maps. He said the book was done other than that. I also sent him a copy of the picture of the front cover that "Camilo" posted. He said that wasn't his photo for his guide book. It looks like the new Smith Guide Book is still two months away according to Alan. Quote
Dru Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Wow, nice work Encyclopedia Brown. Maybe you should join the cast of CSI. You could really tell them how to do it Quote
Camilo Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I also sent him a copy of the picture of the front cover that "Camilo" posted. He said that wasn't his photo for his guide book. Curses! I guess that means the copy I bought from Dru was just the original with a fake cover. You bastard! Quote
Distel32 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 after reading those posts I also emailed my good friend mr. watts, he said this was going to be the cover shot: Quote

markd Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) loose hookers, and chosstranaut both aid lines though chosstaranaut still needs to be finished is one of those on the mudpile? if not where are they? who are you climbing these with? you should contact me sometime when you visit this side of the cascades. i'm currently working on some routes out there as well. maybe we could partner up for the long walk. i'm mostly into free climbing though. Edited January 4, 2006 by markd Quote
corvallisclimb Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 they are both on the mudpile. loose hookers is all natural, and youve prolly seen the bolts and tat on chosstranaut, wich i bailed off due to time and gear... ill be out there this from twmorrow till sunday if you want to hook up. send me a pm Quote

EWolfe Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 A hoax cover and book? Well, I never! DFA must be behind this travesty! Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 A hoax cover and book? Well, I never! DFA must be behind this travesty! Careful there, E. Greater men have been disappeared for less egregious slights than that. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Not to mention, that chuffer is trad climbing. How gauche. He's not trad climbing. That would be anathema for the cover of the Smith Guide! He's on Pouches over in the 'sups. But WHO is that on the cover? I WONDER if he posts on the .com? Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 And to the guy who determined it was a fake cover - rock on allstar! did you get topher and micah's input on the topic? hahaha Quote
