Choada_Boy Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Best Haiku Ever: I'm taking a shit It curls on top of your head Once again, you lose Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I've dropped the hint that maybe we should get the fuck out of here a time or two. Quote
Pete_H Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 My partner took a messy dump from the hanging belay after leading the first pitch of Sea of Vapors. After climbing it, on the way down the shit had frozen. I waited out the bottom while he hacked frozen shitsicles off the climb. You probably couldn't do that with those fancy modern tools though.

Hugh Conway Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 You were dropped on your head? that explains much pink Quote
ivan Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 i dropped my jug off the next to last pitch of town crier on the upper town wall while soloing it this summer - made it kinda hard to do the last pitch - once back on the groudn though i found it in 2 minutes, not a scratch on it! not bad for a near 500 foot fall Quote

Pete_H Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 My buddy found a #5 camalot at the base of El Cap. It's pretty fucked up but I've used it before. It's name is Mr. Wobbly. Quote
Off_White Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I "lost" a #5 camalot at the base of El Cap, but it was in my pack, not dropped. Quote
G-spotter Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Builderbear is moving into position to drop post-consumer salmon on your head Quote
Pete_H Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I "lost" a #5 camalot at the base of El Cap, but it was in my pack, not dropped. When you were climbing in the Valley I'm pretty sure camalots hadn't been invented yet. Quote
pink Posted September 4, 2009 Author Posted September 4, 2009 my helmut and headlamp from the top of the 'american zone' at 3am. funny, my headlamp was on and u could see it blink as my lid spun through the air. i found it the next day and the headlamp still worked, there was just a small crack in the lid.

billcoe Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I "lost" a #5 camalot at the base of El Cap, but it was in my pack, not dropped. Identify the color and then we'll know it's yours and Pete will return it to you. Quote
olyclimber Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 i just dropped some friends off at that salt water outdoor heated pool in Lincoln park. Quote
Sherri Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I dropped my almost-new yellow linkcam off the top pitch of "Rock On" in Squamish last week. It had been given to me as a special birthday present last year, so I was sad about having been so careless with it(and dreading telling my S/O of its fate). On the rap down from the climb, I spotted it near the 2nd rap station, delicately dangling from a tree banch like a Christmas ornament. A happy ending. Quote
Off_White Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 (edited) I "lost" a #5 camalot at the base of El Cap, but it was in my pack, not dropped. When you were climbing in the Valley I'm pretty sure camalots hadn't been invented yet. Oh, I'm pretty sure they were invented before last June, foo. Thanks Bill, but it was brand new, no dinged up wobbler, and I know Pete wouldn't be stealing shit out of people's packs. Edited September 5, 2009 by Off_White Quote
Pete_H Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Yeah pretty sure the one I have fell off somewhere on the Captain. That's fucked up someone stole a #5 from your pack. Maybe it was bears. Bad, crack smoking bears. Quote
pink Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 i dropped a few of pitons and chongo gave them back to me the next day when he was camping on south seas for like forever... and i smoked a bowl with him for the kind gesture. we passed the bowl with a stuff sack tied to two 60 meter ropes tied together from his high camp while i listened to "and justice for all". fuck, it took like 10 minutes to "pass the dutchy".
