Attitude Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 And it's spelled m-o-r-o-n. A moran is the terminus of a glacier. Quote
layton Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 One of you two guys has got to work for REI, or the Base Camp? Am I right? Quote
sk Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 if you have the skills, they will speak for themselves. ERIK RULES Quote
RuMR Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 Hey Attitude... Isn't it spelled moraine? Does that make you a moran? Or is it moron?? Quote
Retrosaurus Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 M-O-R-O-N MORAN is a mountain in the Tetons. MORAINE is the rubble that has been carried to the end or sides of a glacier. Quote
Dr._Ben_Krazy Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 Kaindcaid and RikRik: I have performed some "head-shrinking" analysis to help you understand what is going on between you two. It's obvoius from my research that you both are fighting the subliminal attraction to each other and should just have a "sausage fest" and get it over with. Kainscaid's verbalizaion of "cocksucker" and whatnot is confimation enough. You are each in Love and it can be scary at first. It's not worth dragging each other through the mud when you think about it. I hope that helps. Quote

olyclimber Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 I'd like to take a small bit of your time to advertise my patented partner selection process. It only takes minutes, and you'll be please with the results. I can't really reveal any of the details, but I do take PayPal. Quote
Bronco Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Must've missed this the first time around. I think I also climbed with the poster Kainsacad out at Index once with a similar experience. He advertised as a 5.10 climber and struggled mightily to follow a 5.8 and seems to lack some of the basic understanding of belaying and rope handling. There may be a different thread about him, his name is Mehrdad or something like that. Former Iranian army if I recall. Good times! Quote
JasonG Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Watch out when he's ready to take you "off belay". Code for beheading the infidel? Quote
Phil K Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Good times! I’m pretty sure that I made an attempt on the Coleman Headwall with Jeff Street and this guy. He talked a great game; studly Iranian alpinist, climbed various 4000m peaks, very fit, etc. We started to suspect something was amiss five minutes from the parking lot when he’d disappeared behind us and took a looong time to catch up. Next “morning” (middle of the night), the conditions were PERFECT; full moon, crisp hard snow, no wind, perfect visibility, and he totally screwed us! ‘Took twice as long on the approach, then once things started getting a bit spicy, it became extremely obvious that he was in no way fit or competent. We pretty quickly decided that he was an unacceptable liability and bailed. I’m still pissed when I think about how great conditions were that night, and how he lied his way onto our climb. Edited March 28, 2018 by Phil K Spelling, moran! Quote
JasonG Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Sort of like a certain someone on the Cosley-Houston @Phil K? Quote

That was some pretty major incompetence on the C-H, but we’d have possibly been in over our heads, and definitely would have frozen our asses off had we continued. The Headwall route was pretty much in the bag. Winter, too IIRC. Quote
