EWolfe Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 I know you folks got some ideas.... Putting on the 60 pound pack on the second day of an approach. Masturbating in your shared tent without your partner knowing. Dealing with Poison ivy/oak without Technu on a muti-day trip. Others? Quote
ken4ord Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Dropping coils from great heights can be difficult depending on the harness and pants you have one. Shwacking Digging a snow cave in a raging storm at elevation after a 15 hour push. Sleeping in a tent when the winds are so strong that the poles are pushing down accross your head. Quote
fenderfour Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Dealing with an unfortunate wiping accident getting your cannister stove to melt enough snow in 0 degrees at 10,000' Getting in/out of a Bibler bivy sack when you are 6'3" and 215lbs. Putting on frozen boots Quote
selkirk Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Not sleeping through the 4:00 alarm. Recognizing that your partner put rocks and/or blue bags in your pack before you summit. Sleeping through the snorer in the next tent. Remembering to put sunscreen up your nose and down your ear canals Defending yourself from salt deprived goats when you aren't fully awake. Remembering the CC.com fashion police are ever present, and coordinating your climbing outfit appropriately. Quote
goatboy Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 My personal nemesis: When the nipple on your water bladder pops off while you're belaying your partner across the knife-edge hand-traverse section of the N Ridge of Stuart and you lose your entire day's water supply as well as saturating your entire body in the process in the cold wind.... I have repeated that maneuver, or some variation of it, again...and again...and again.... Quote
dinomyte Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Mine always center around tents: Setting up a non-free standing tent in blizzard conditions. Rolling up same tent and getting into that damn tiny stuffsack with wet, frozen fingers. Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Trying not to notice Fred using his pee bottle at 3am in the morning. Quote
kevbone Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Smoking hoards of weed and not summiting because of it. Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Smoking hoards of weed and not summiting because of it. That's not difficult. That's just lame. Quote
spotly Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 1. Deproaching. 2. Always carrying my own tent because it's too difficult to deal with a masturbating tent mate. Quote
TimL Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 I know you folks got some ideas.... Putting on the 60 pound pack on the second day of an approach. Masturbating in your shared tent without your partner knowing. Dealing with Poison ivy/oak without Technu on a muti-day trip. Others? What about masturbating with poison ivy without your partner knowing, and then hidding it for a multi day trip? skull Quote

kevbone Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Smoking hoards of weed and not summiting because of it. That's not difficult. That's just lame. Ya…..but we sure had fun looking at the swirling clouds and neat colors on the rocks…… Quote
rob Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Emailing my boss that I'm sick at 4:30 AM while heading out the door, hoping that he doesn't get suspicious. Coming into work the next day with a sunburn. Quote

suckbm Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 having the brakes on you car freeze after fording a river in the ghost and having to melt them with flares and get a tow from canadians Quote
Hendershot Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Making it through Hwy 20, Hwy 2, Granite Falls without getting a ticket. Leaving excessive overbuilt gear at home, but still carrying essentials. Not spaining an ankle or having aching knees when you do pack to much. Quote
tazz Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Running into a hornets nest in the dark with no way around it and not getting stung. forgetting ones headlamp (DOH!) and descending many miles in the dark along with massive blowdowns, river crossing..then doing cirlces in the alder. finding a place to cross Big Beaver then shwacking access creek. FUN! Quote
