G-spotter Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Found BD Neutrino on second pitch of Girth Pillar attached to a # 7 BD stopper. Couldn't get the nut but I got your biner. Identify the taping scheme (colors & pattern) and I'll gladly return it. Quote
shaoleung Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 It's not worth my valuable time to post here. My wisdom is wasted on the inferior. Be gone! Quote
ChestBeater Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 I have numerous friends I climb with, they are guides, engineers, doctors, rangers, students, and unemployed dirtbags. They may have written guidebooks, may have been guides, may even have criminal records, but that is really irrelivant. The fact is this, they are wonderful people whom I share pitches, pitchers and good times. Quote

olyclimber Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Actually if you possess a sense of humor it is a never ending wellspring. Made funnier that someone said it with a straight face. Quote

ChestBeater Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 I get the felling that a good percentage here don't know when the risk is acceptable and when it is not. Quote

marc_leclerc Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Okay.. well wanna hear me resume bitches! I have been climbing indoors for 5 years, outdoors for 2 or so. I won several climbing competitions including the Canadian Nationals on toprope. I am an utter badass and even graduated high school last week. I don't have a criminal record only cuz I never get caught because my running and fence jumping skill are fucking raging! I even have a girlfriend... I swear shit loads and everyone knows thats fucking badass! I even swear in front of less badass people just to be offensive. I climb 5.12 trad and sport and I swear on every send! Even when I am cranking down V8 boulder problems without a crash pad under me I yell swear words so everyone looks at me and thinks Im so fucking awesome! I even climb with other badass people so respect me and bow in my awesome presence! Quote
ChestBeater Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 I like alpine and ice climbing on a single 8mm half rope cuz its light and I dont plan to fall off anyhow... Quote
ChestBeater Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 OK, let's be serious for a sec.... I even have a girlfriend... Nekid pics? Quote
sobo Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I can't help but muse upon what rob said in another thread several weeks ago... "My awesomeness springs from a deep well of humility." Quote

G-spotter Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I was climbing once with a certain person who has done quite a bit of route development in Skaha and Squamish. I just happened to mention the words "Fred Beckey" in some context and he replied with "Did you know I have climbed many more first ascents than Fred Beckey has?". Quote

tvashtarkatena Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) I've embraced the label "unconventional" When life throws me a curve-ball, I think to myself "At least I'm not a thousand feet off the deck without a rope... this is nothing." I'll land butter side up. Cuz I know that, no matter what happens, there's nothing like not dying on a climb to make you feel good. My home? Wherever my gear is. My car? A place to live, sometimes weeks at a time. My job? The place I go in between climbing to let my wounds heal. I'm not the only one. We all maintain relationships with people whose universe doesn't involve the stress of dropping your entire 'biner of nuts from three pitches up a six pitch climb. People who haven't found themselves sleeping under the stars soaking wet in a sudden downpour thinking "thank goodness I'm in my synthetic bag instead of down." People who sleep inside 365 days a year and have never driven through the night. Whose hands don't sweat when they see a picture of a big rock with a crack in it. And, who don't routinely trust their and a partner's life to their collective judgment, skill, equipment, experience, and creativity. Maybe I'm just weird by virtue of being, and spending so much time around, other unconventional people and not around enough "normal" ones. When the "normal" ones ask where I'm going, I tell them: I've got a climb to do. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of most little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday they'll understand that.

Dechristo Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 ...and then you awake from your delusional daydream, find yourself at eave-level of your house standing on a rung of an extension ladder, and then, resume clawing wet decaying leaves from the gutter and dropping them into a little red plastic bucket.

olyclimber Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I woke up in the ditch again. Someone split my head open with a maul, or at least thats how it feels. I messed myself. Again. But there is a bit left in the bottle I found in my hand, so I have a drink and stumble out into a bright new day of possibility. Quote
