texplorer Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Great job "soloing" the mountain. Come back when you do something worth talking about. Everyone please congratulate me on numberous solo approaches to monkey face including the direct approach through asterik pass. All totally SOLO.
Off_White Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 It's cute how Vegas is turning you into a bitter bitch.
John Frieh Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 It's cute how Vegas is turning you into a bitter bitch. Tex is suffering from Yosemite mentality. At least Pan didn't get lost on the approach...
olyclimber Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 While I can appreciate the commitment involved in your approach to the Monkey Face, you aren't a woman, so you wouldn't have to deal with the cat calls from all the male climbers on Morning Glory wall.
catbirdseat Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 no fair!!! hannah wieghs about as much as a pack of cigarattes - if i went dancing across all them goddam cracks my gargantaun ass would plummet all the way down to china for anyone even heard i was gone... So what you are really saying is that light weight is aid. And Tex-

If you ever tried to solo a real mountain, you would be wigged out of your mind, you sport fairy little bitch.
texplorer Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 A woman actually does something that many men do every year and hordes of 5.7 sprayers bow down to kiss the her crampons. Hannah is probably a cool girl just doing what she likes but we don't have to kiss everygirl's ass that actually does something above gumby status. Yes, I do have a mild case of the Yosemite Mentality. I generally think that walk-up routes on mountains are more about determination than advanced skills or physical ability. Basically if you go when conditions are good and can keep yourself out a crevass your good. There are hard mountain routes that require high commitment and skill but the nisqually is not one of them. So in short, while Hanna's ascent may be a great personal achievement we don't need to hear about it here. Perhaps a nice TR could be helpful to some posters but shameless kiss-assing is ridiculous. Yes Offwhite, The vegas winter is really getting me down. I mean temps in the 70's with sunshine everyday can be a drag.
minx Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 I think Hannah could safely expect to make Tex her bitch right now. and a on that climb.
minx Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Hey Tex, what should we hear about here then? i don't care if it's a chick who did it or not. Solo winter ascent of that mountain is worth reading about. i hope she puts up her own TR. back off--just b/c it's not "rock" climbing doesn't mean it's not an achievment.
Off_White Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Yes Offwhite, The vegas winter is really getting me down. I mean temps in the 70's with sunshine everyday can be a drag. I thought as much, that kind of relentless burning orb action really grinds me down too.
DirtyHarry Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Tex - you are ignorant and extremely retarded. You desperately need to unfuck yourself.
goatboy Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Great job "soloing" the mountain. Come back when you do something worth talking about. Everyone please congratulate me on numberous solo approaches to monkey face including the direct approach through asterik pass. All totally SOLO. What's interesting about this presumptuous and sad attack is that Tex is accusing Pandora of bragging when she hasn't actually posted a thing here -- it has all been from others who are rightfully inspired or congratulatory of her accomplishments. Unfortunately, this is the type of embarassing crap that happens all the time on this otherwise useful, interesting website. Tex, if you're trying to downgrade or belittle the significance of a winter ascent of Rainier, solo, then you'll have to try a lot harder. It's impressive, and a lot of people seem to be proud of her accomplishment. What are you proud of?
olyclimber Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 I too, hate it when others are congratulated for their petty achievements...especially people that I actually know. I could have easily done that climb myself with even fewer ropemates, but I was busy sleeping.
ivan Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 i'm kind of at a loss at this manufactured drama. i know both hannah and tex and think well of both of them. karsten - you're usually way positive man - folks are just giving pandora the high five for doing something cool and scary enough. i myself would not solo that route, and that alone makes this thread worth my time to read. chill out brother.
Cobra_Commander Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 i myself would not solo that route that's just not true
olyclimber Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 well, he might not solo it alone. maybe solo it with a belayer.
Mike_Gauthier Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 A woman actually does something that many men do every year... I can't think of any "man" who has done this route solo. Maybe it hasn't been soloed before? Any other Rainier historians know?
griz Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 i'm kind of at a loss at this manufactured drama. i know both hannah and tex and think well of both of them. karsten - you're usually way positive man - folks are just giving pandora the high five for doing something cool and scary enough. i myself would not solo that route, and that alone makes this thread worth my time to read. chill out brother. i kind of agree with tex. if i (a dude) did the climb then nobody would give a shit, including me. the thread seems abit patronizing to the gal in my opinion.
foraker Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 i think it's patronizing that you think a simple 'high five' is being patronizing.
DirtyHarry Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 You and Tex are giving Coloradans and Las Vegians the bad name they deserve. It would be impressive if ANYBODY soloed that route in winter. Fucking moron.
Cobra_Commander Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 The bulletin board has now finished the congrats phase, through the trashtalk phase, and now comes around into self-analysis. Next up is the spelling mistake highlight phase. Let's start a new topic on how to appropriately congratulate someone.
