Mountaineers in Leavenworth - April 22 & 23

[DirtyHarry]

Boealps and Mounties should have a musical street fight, like in East Side Story, in the middle of Icicle Creek Road.

It's obvious who the Jets are.

 

When you’re a Jet,

You’re a Jet all the way

From your first cigarette

To your last dyin’ day.

When you’re a Jet,

Let them do what they can,

You got brothers around,

You’re a family man!

You’re never alone,

You’re never disconnected!

You’re home with your own--

When company’s expected,

You’re well protected!

Then you are set

With a capital J,

Which you’ll never forget

Till they cart you away.

When you’re a Jet,

You stay

A Jet!

I can see the carnage now. Bloodstained Seattle Sombreros and torn off zipoff pant legs (khaki or tan) litter the roadway. A corpse lies in the ditch, flies clustering on the bushel of bamboo wands stuffed down its throat. Over at the paddy wagon "The Tool" is reading rights to a battered survivor who is still clutching the dented hexes with which he fought off the final charge.

[DirtyHarry]

Cue the somber remourseful ballad from the lone survivor, who took a nut tool in the calf, piercing his OR gaiter.

I also believe that first year intermediates in the Seattle branch will be there for a field trip...Possibly on some of the easier multi-pitch routes like R&D, Saber, etc.

[John Frieh]

Booty call! I scored 4 biners, 2 slings and a cam last year on Saber thanks in part to those intermediates

Listen, sprayers, to a story

That was posted long ago,

'Bout a kingdom on a mountain

And the bumbly-folk below.

 

On the mountain was a treasure

Buried deep beneath the spray,

And the bumbly-people swore

They'd seige it each and every day.

 

Go ahead and hate your belayer,

Go ahead and overcam a friend.

Do it in the name of safety,

You can equalize it in the end.

There won't be any chocolate trombones blowing

Come the judgement day,

On the bloody morning after....

One tin climber rides away.

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKK YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

 

and it's on like donkey kong...

[zaugg]

rei toblerone duel at dawn

[olyclimber]

 

and it's on like donkey kong...

 

i was thinking frogger.

[ivan]

regretably, frogger lacks the awe-inspiring dipthong i was gunning for - additionally frogger is far too alpine in style for mountie-ites - they'd have to stage a series of camps across the sidewalks, roads, lily pads, etc rather than make the mad-mad dash through hell for the great homing-coming fuck-fantasy at home base. i can't ever see a mountie jumping on the back of a crocidile either - too dangerous!

[zaugg]

I was thinking ikari warriors where there's like 10000000 guys on the screen and shit falling everywhere

[G-spotter]

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKK YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

 

and it's on like donkey kong...

 

this photo is so awesome. let's check the details...

 

from left to right

 

1) belay gloves... and eating an Oreo?

2) pearbiner in nads

3) dirtlip

4) 50L pack and webbing sausage. middle of the pack both literally and figuratively. probably stayed up the night before to practice knots

5) blue helmet over baseball cap, no polypro under shorts.. the "risk taker" and anti-authoritarian of the group

6)token "old school" climber wearing painters pants in honor of 'Hot Henry'.

7)webbing sausages galore, S over P (except P may be bike tights), and earns extra keener points for wearing Met5 jacket

8) S over P, and 80L pack. Secretly looked up to by #5 because 8 has the bigger pack, thus asserting alpha-male status.

Just goin' out for a mellow afternoon at the crag.

[zaugg]

"I am so happy to have all the comforts of home attached to my pack - including this guy who sorts out problems back there like R2-D2"

That reminds me of the good ole' days of Dwayner and the Red Headed Interceptor....

Why is the Everett Group coming the same day as the SEATTLE MOUNTIES INTERMEDIATE CLIMBING CLASS FIELDTRIP??? Don't you guys check to make sure that the Mountaineers don't have two groups in one area on the same weekend?? I would guess that the Seattle Mountaineers are going to have about 50 students there this weekend.

I hope someone takes advantage of this outstanding opporunity to update the mounties pic thread.

[tomtom]

The WAC and the Mounties are still less of a problem than this gaperfest.

I heard that some Mounties will be at a "secret" spot.

Pics would be nice.

[chris_w]

Not sure if it was a mountaineers group or not but on Friday I scored a yellow TCU, new oval biner and medium nut on the first pitch of Saber. All new and shiny. There was another nut but couldn't dig that one out.

 

Thanks!
