Bug Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 hahahaha This layback guy cracks me up A few things about me: - I've hiked all of my life. - I've been skiing for 26 years - I've been climbing for 12 years. My climbing partners (past & present) include: - 2 climbing guidebook authors - 1 author of a self-rescue book - 1 AMGA rock and ice guide (my rope was the first he ever tied into) - 1 former non-accredited alpine guide in WA state - 1 current non-accredited guide in WA state I'm not saying this to brag or massage my ego. Most on this site don't know anything about the 2nd list. I usually keep this stuff pretty close to me because that's how I am. I've learned from the aforementioned people that being a good climber also includes keeping your ego in check. emphasis mine. I think I might have to relinquish my coveted "consummate douchebag" title. I don't think I'm worthy of the crown in light of this recently minted gem. Alex Lowe peed on my rope once. Of course he didn't know it was mine. He said he would have dumped on it had he known. I usually keep this stuff pretty close to me because that's how I am. I've learned from the aforementioned person that being a good climber also includes keeping your ego in check. Anybody want to smell the rope?

olyclimber Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm probably the best at keeping my ego in check than anyone I know. Its inconceivable that anyone could be better at it. If there was a record in the Guinness World Records for humility, I would own that shart hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olyclimber Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 all i can say is that if some one thinks they are more humble than me, i dare them to say so to my face at the picnic...if i show up. depending on the posts i may decide to stay home if i feel i am in danger of breaking a nail.

Off_White Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 You're the bear, Porter, totally savage and humble as vanilla pudding. BTW, they found a polar bear's jawbone in the shark's stomach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choada_Boy Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Layback's problem is that he's from Connecticut. Every single person I've ever met from CT has been a douche bag. Here's some more learned wisdom from his spewhole, posted elsewhere: "The ironic thing about TRs on CC.com vs NWHikers is this: Cascade Climbers: - Filled with young, throw caution to the wind types who place a premium on boldness. - Have an ego so big that they wouldn't even conceive of posting a TR on anything that could be classified as a hike, and often joke about doing so. - A fair amount of TRs on the site are posted by those looking for personal gratification only (I'm not saying we don't have any of that here). NW Hikers: - Filled with people who just care about having fun in the outdoors in a safe way. - While we all have a little ego (not in a bad way), most here wouldn't think twice about sharing a hike or a climb regardless of he technical difficulty. It's the amount of fun experienced that counts. - A fair majority of the TRs here are folks just looking to share some info on a cool place." He is so right.

tvashtarkatena Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) In case you guys have any questions about climbing, I'm just here to share the joy of the sport with you. I've climbed with people who have written guidebooks. I don't want to drop names, although they are names that nearly everyone on the planet would instantly recognize. That's not the way I roll. Anyway, feel free to let me know how I can help make you a better climber or, more generally, human being.

DirtyHarry Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 What's wrong with personal gratification? It's nice when you can find someone else to gratify you, but that's not always the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm pretty sure no one wants to come between you and your self gratification DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I remember when someone registered as "D@n -" or a similar type name asked on NWHikers if it was possible to speed-hike the Washington PCT in a week. Boy, did some panties get bunched over there by that innocent query! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMO Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Off White, you conducted yourself like a true gentleman on the hiking site. Well done! .... Wait a minute... This post is in Spray, what I ment to say is; Off White really handled himself like a master(de)bater on the Hiking site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
