catbirdseat Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 I don't know of anyone doing that route solo before in winter male or female. And I don't think I was trying to manufacture drama, just giving a simple thumbs up to a really nice young person, who if you ever met her you'd agree.
olyclimber Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 thats an interesting opinion griz, but I completely disagree. if it had been you, I would have been equally impressed. I might not have said as much, but I've never met you(but I have met Hannah). As Mike notes above, this route hasn't been climbed solo much or possibly at all. It is also apparently the first summit of 06, so that also makes it pretty cool. Sure, it isn't the first naked ascent of K2, but it is super cool to see our locals going out pushing their own limits. I have no problem egging on and congratulating Colin, Hannah, and other younger people getting it done, along with the rest of the geezers on this board. Â I do agree with Cobra, we should develope a congratultory protocol so as to not offend our more sensitive board member's sensibilities.
DirtyHarry Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Congratulations on an intelligent post, Oly. Â Oh shit!! Did I do that right?
RuMR Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 hannah's ass is a great one to kiss! Â and tex, what gives man? You spray some trip report about your nose in a day deal, like that's never been done before ...it was a great read and i believe many said "props" to you...should everyone rescind that? jeez, dude, chill out... Â Hannah...awesome!
Cobra_Commander Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 I have a hard time believing it's the first ascent of 2006! What are all you slackers doing up there and do you not own skis...
griz Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Â It would be impressive if ANYBODY soloed that route in winter. Â Sure, but i doubt it would be followed by 3 pages of ass kissing from a bunch of dirty old men if it wasn't some young climber chic. I doubt it would even get mentioned here.
RuMR Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 ...and griz, you're just another colorado fuck...probably from boulder, stupid punk bitch... Â i'm going back to my grave now!
olyclimber Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Griz, I want to congratulate you on the best troll in a while. You really did a special job. You are clearly an over achiever who deserves to stand tall in the Halls of Vahalla.

olyclimber Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 I should also recognize the cry for attention from texplorer. He is also an over achiever who deserves the praise that he obviously has earned for starting this troll. I bow down and kiss your hairy troll feet.
texplorer Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 I forgot about the fact that it is still winter up there. That makes the climb a more noteable ascent. I also went to Gautier's website and checked out what he said. I am not too proud to admit that I was wrong about her ascent being a noteworthy one. So, . . . Congrats Hannah. Â What is moronic is that all my posts, while in disagreement with the trend of the posts, were not derogatory toward her and used civil language. Â In response to the attacks on me- None of my posts degraded Hannah. I have only degraded the kiss-asses. In fact I believe I said that it may be a noteworthy ascent for her. In actuallity I agree that it is cool that she did a possible first winter ascent. Still, some of you have alot of testosterone flowing.
olyclimber Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 so now that you've kissed it yourself, how do you like it?
RuMR Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) TextPoster... Â Please explain the motivation behind your TR's of the Nose and the backslaps that you got (WHICH YOU POSTED)...i'm at a bit of a loss here... Â I hardly think congrats to you or her are "ass kissing"... Edited February 15, 2006 by RuMR
griz Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 not trolling...just calling it like i see it, gentlemen. Â also, i was not aware it had never been soloed before. you would think everything has been soloed on that mtn at one time or another. Â and no i don't live in boulder...
RuMR Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 hmmmm...you reek of a "boulderite"...perhaps you should relocate?
olyclimber Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 what about the women sharing their praise? I can only imagine what you think about that!
foraker Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Apparently the problem is that giving a bit of a thumbs up to a person a lot of us has met is upsetting to some of those who are whoring to get into Alpinist mag. Or am I being too dramatic?
griz Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 ...anymore. Â Â good day, my favorite PNW asshats. don't forget to scrape that mold growing on your backside and feet.
olyclimber Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Anyway, I'm sure Hannah is really happy that her climb resulted in this discussion  And there is a motivation behind my praise, Griz. I'm trying to start my new business as Climber's Agent and Publicist. I plan on a getting rich quick.

Â Your offensive sarcastic post deserved such a civil response, too.
foraker Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 She's probably out climbing, which is the best response to this thread.
minx Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 i'd like say that i'm only impressed b/c she's a woman. if this had been posted about griz i wouldn't have posted at all.
texplorer Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Anyone can dog my TR's. I have nothing against TR's. If Hannah had even posted a TR about a solo ascent of the Toof I would have not said anything. I like reading TR's because you get an idea of the excitement the climber felt. Even if the climb would be easy for me I can still understand and appreciate the fears, joys, and obstacles faced. Whether you are pulling hard on non-existent holds or doing the south side of Mt. Hood I feel like the true essence of climbing is the adventure. Â Anyway, Hannah hasn't even posted here yet and people were giving her the "were not worthy" crap. I give credit where credit is due.
texplorer Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Dirty Harry, you must be the pride of dental floss ranch
