G-spotter Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 http://climbing.com/news/hotflashes/houseinjured/ I expect Johnny Tuff, DFA, pope, dwayner oops i mean raindawg, and RuMR will all weigh in on this one! Quote
Johnny_Tuff Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Oh, God, I was afraid it was a Gym Jones tire-dragging accident brought on by the fanatical, overzealous proddings of Mark Twight. Sounded like an April Fool's story to me, despite the date being a little late. Smith's "notoriously drilled" sport route...inconceivable! Those are gas pockets! Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 So, another Tommy Caldwell injury it sounds like. At least he was climbing and not remodeling his house. Get well Steve!! Quote
underworld Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 a hurt index finger is a serious injury?? i hope they don't pull the plug. Quote
G-spotter Posted April 7, 2006 Author Posted April 7, 2006 Lately, these hotshot uberalpinists have been getting injuries at the start of the season that are just serious enough to let them off the hook. Witness how Tommy went cragging in Lofoten last summer after winning a grant to try to free the West Face of Thor. I think there was some tendinitis or broken foot story there. Quote
chucK Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 It seems like an obvious joke story. Besides the obvious comic sendup material of super fast and light toughguy alpinist secretly seiging a sportclimb for 7 months and getting "seriously injured" because he didn't have any sportos around to tell him how to warm up... Does Steve House live in Bend? The bar at Santa Barbara airport? "less recognized Piolet d'Orr?" Can crimp but can't open-hand? Quote

olyclimber Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I'm personal friends with Steve House (he is sponsoring me to get off the porch and into Gym Jones). He really does live in Bend, by the way. Quote
Squid Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I'm very close friends with Stevie-H (we call him Stevie Ache, now), and his finger is definitely injured. His backrubs don't have the warmth or intensity they used to. Sometimes I wonder where the magic has gone. Quote
G-spotter Posted April 7, 2006 Author Posted April 7, 2006 SEE, that's what climbing chipped routes does. It makes you move to Bend and steals the magic from backrubs. Quote
Figger_Eight Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Some buds and I were at Smith a couple of weeks ago climbing nearby. We watched him for a bit working the route, saw him miss a clip and take a huge 40 foot lob, jacking his belayer a few feet off the ground. It was neato. Quote
Johnny_Tuff Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Has he ever been on Churning? Sweet rig. If anyone sees him in Bend, they should tell him to check it out. F'real. Quote
111 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 hell, shouldn't House be on CC if he lives in Bend? Those of you who claim to know him, get him wasting time on here too. Surely his slideshows can upstage Layton's! ...Burn! Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 WTF? I'm assuming this is some sort of Timmy O'Neil type humor Rupal face 5.10b-ish Quote
Alpinfox Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 OMG! BTW, I recently received a package from my best Bud "Steve-O", and the return address was BEND, OR!?!?! The address was somewhat hard to read which I attribute to that blown finger tendon... OMG! Can you believe it!?!? p.s. Steve-O told me that the Rupal was more like 10c and he's just tryin' to sandbag Tomaz Humar into givin' it a go. "Just wait 'til that whiney bitch hits the crux! MUHAHAHA!!! He'll be callin' in another heli-rescue!" he said. I swear tuh GAWD he did. Quote
cj001f Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 BTW, I recently received a package from my best Bud "Steve-O" Should I laugh at you now, or on when you are on the ice sporting that orange fartbag Quote
Alpinfox Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I'm going to wear it to the Spring Picnic this evening. Quote
ALLCAPS Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 OMG STEVE HOUSE SOLD YOU HIS "PACKAGE"??? THIS JUST PROVES THAT ALPINISTS WILL DO ANYTHING TO SUPPORT THEIR OUTRAGIOUS LIFE STYLES!!! Quote
