maybe you haven't met john - like more than a few folks 'roudn here, he comes off on the board a lot different than in person - what you shouldn't misunderstand is his enthusiasm and good-naturedness- the kid really, really likes to climb and is guilty of little more than being too zealous - he also takes the training thing crazy serious (but not so much he disdains climbing w/ the smoking/ho-ho eating crowd) which i think leads to a natural desire to have #s and times n' shit, which in lihgt of the whole iconoclastic nature of the enterprise, does look a tad silly. still - i like having john on the board and he earns his keep by actually posting tr's on a pretty regular business, building community by helping organize ice-comps, etc.

 

that said, if he badmouths beacon we might have to kill and eat him - i'm sure w/ all those burpees or whatevadafuck they're called, he'll make for good lean burgers

 

make sure ya let jonh know that i climbed el cap, why don't you tell him eight times

just in case he forgets. i heard he likes to take you dry tooling, being that you couldn't possibly go do that without his guidance.

Sweet dick wagging contest! Can I play?

 

I do agree that laying down after you get worked training is lame. Stand up, black out, fall down. Take it like a man.

No shit, John RULES! Awesome dude. DON'T BE HATIN Rudy, you need to get out with the guy, maybe his enthusiams can come off as chestbeating on paper, but in real life, his real persona with all that enthusiasm totally rules ! JF is #1 in my book, and I haven't been out a lot with him, but been out enough so thats what I know.

 

BTW, 'nother side note to get off topic on all this bashing and hating, but on that El Cap thing and Pink: dude toped out on Zenyatta Mendotta on CHRISTMAS FUC*ING DAY YOU FU*KING PUSSIES. FULL ON CONDITIONS WINTER ASCENT.

 

I get shrinkage thinkin' of it.

[billcoe]

well, I think 8 times, some bad-assed routes too: however, I'm waiting to see the pics......

 

[dberdinka]

I still want to see his pics from "THE SWEET BIVI LEDGE ON TOP OF NORTH NORWEIGAN BUTTRESS".

 

[minx]

as long as its not pics of wagging dicks, thats cool

[olyclimber]

As long as people are talking about me then I know they can't be talking about anyone else.

[Choada_Boy]

I was at the hostel when some other dudes got back from climbing Slipstream. Does this make me RAD???

[olyclimber]

Not until you have everyone talking about you in your own thread. This is John's thread, respect that!

 

But how many chicks were you at the hostel with? What sort of gear where you using? Why? Is RAD an acronym?

[counterfeitfake]

maybe you haven't met john - like more than a few folks 'roudn here, he comes off on the board a lot different than in person

 

Well maybe he should stop doing that.

[minx]

i don't think pink actually climbs

 

and choada was really drytoolin w/John not in the hostel with chicks

[RuMR]

as long as its not pics of wagging dicks, thats cool

whatever...you'd be digging that...

Shit yeah Minx, I been workin' out like this every evening from 10-7 am or so. I hasn't made me strong like John and Marcus though. Maybe I need to lose the down comforter, blankets and flannel sheets?

[minx]

hey there is nothing wrong with a partner who knows what they're doing and get things done quickly. you can get multiple pitches in that way ya know?

maybe more tossing and turning would help?

and maybe the yappy fucking dog that lives next door to me oughta stop too, but that ain't gonna happen unless i throw a poisoned dog-treat over the fence, and john's too driven to eat snacks outside of regimented meal-times

 

people are who they are, and rare it is that they ever change

 

now seriously, did i hear somethign about pink climbing in california someplace?

[Hugh Conway]

now seriously, did i hear somethign about pink climbing in california someplace?

 

on his way back from the Pride parade no less!

[John Frieh]

now seriously, did i hear somethign about pink climbing in california someplace?

 

Pink may have climbed el cap eight times or whatever and yes that is super rad but what has he done lately? When was the last time he climbed el cap? Was it in this decade?

 

Pink reminds me of the classic "Uncle Rico Napoleon Dynamite" type... sure he may have taken his HS team to State and loves to tell you about it but you ask him what is going on in his life now and you get a blank stare... maybe pink is retired from climbing?

[Bug]

Whoa!

Are we all supposed to be talking about climbing in this decade?

John...please shut the fuck up...people age, they quit climbing, they move on, maybe they come back, maybe they don't...maybe they don't train compulsively anymore...maybe they really do go and climb moderates only moderates now and don't feel the need to *chestbeat* girth pillar style...
