How do you know a cascade climber when you see one

Make a snaffle joke

I'll have the one in the pink top. She has a tummy like Olga's... which reminds me, where is TreeToad these days, anyway...?

 

Someone say Olga??

[sobo]

Damn, he's quick...

 

Heyyyyyyyy, you changed your avatar pic. Where's Olga's yummy little tummy??

[chesterboo]

that's it!! I will make a snaffle joke. If people look at me like I am crazy I will know they are not a cc.comer. If the smile, we can carry on and start calling ourselves and refering to our meeting by our screen names

The first time I met a cc.commer in person was in 8 Mile Campground. I had been in Leavenworth for all of 15 minutes and was standing by the pump waiting to get water when a car drove up and stopped. The window rolled down and a guy leaned out "Hey is your name Dru?"

"yes it is, why?"

"want a beer?"

 

It was Capt. Caveman

 

 

aaaawwwww Cavey

[sk]

you can tell the cc.comers cus we are having the most fun and laughing our ass off even at the crag. so just listen for the ones maked noise and saying smart ass shit.

Anyone KNOW any snaffle jokes?

All you have to do is listen to there conversation. If their conversation mainly consist of spraying and sophmoric humor, there is a good chance you are seeing a cc.commie out in the wild. To make a positive identification listen for key words that set them apart from other climbers, these words will most likely be used obsessively, they are snaffle, sausage, spray, horsecock, rasta bivy, prana tops and yoda.

Back in the day ('04), when MervGriffin was still allowed to post here, he offered the following satirical commentary about the MODERN! climber, particularly directed at self-important tough-guy blow-hards:

 

"...Yah, man. Almost forget. WE'RE CLIMBERS! and we're wild and crazy and reckless, hard-drinking, wild-partyin', don't-mess-with-me-and-you-can-shove-your-opinion-up-your-butt-tough-talkin', hippie-van drivin', hanging out with a bone-in-the-nose girlfriend with hairy armpits, Whillians/Burgess Brothers/Vulgarian emulating, spit-in-the-face-of-the-reaper, buccaneers of the vertical frontier, matadors of the quick draw, desperados of the bouldering pad, Yee ha! and we don't care 'bout nothin cuz WE'RE CLIMBERS! So don't even suggest that what I have to say might be weak because...I'M A CLIMBER, and I'm wild and crazy and reckless, hard-drinking, wild-partyin'...."

 

"...cuz I'm a climber!"
