IMAM Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I won a pair of La Sportiva boots and you can bet your bet your ass I'm gonna use them. One of my friends was a little sour about that because he really wanted them. I gave him a hat I got as a "runner-up" prize. Feathered Friends rocks.

I know the woman that got the ice tool - I havent talked to her in a couple years and I cant imagine she's into ice climbing now but she's definitely not a dope - she's a very cool person. My friends won some stuff. I wont argue their dope status but you can bet they will use their new stuff.  You got what they call Sour Grapes Syndrome. No big deal, and I know my forehead vein is bulging, so I'll chill now.  Good show - way to go, FF. It's cool she won it, but she didn't seem exited at all, shit people who won chalk seemed more stoaked. Fuck I woulda been jumpin around screaming and breakin shit with my new tool!  But I really wanted those Sportiva S's  Thanks for the beer FF, way cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COL._Von_Spanker Posted October 11, 2002 Author Share Posted October 11, 2002 Yo D, I was sort of hoping to get those to replace the Trango s' that I bought a few months ago that have come unstitched. in the bacl on both boots. I saw some of the newer ones and they have added a double stitch, but keep yer eye on 'em. Â BTW- I hold no personal grudges against people who won stuff, other than the fact that I vehemently hate them for winning, as I didn't.

(Did you notice the velcro on his chest and shoulders?) I gotta rant here for a second, Â I think people that want to critisize the funky/crazy mixed climbing we saw last night just kinda missed Seans point. It seemed that he loved it because there were no rules, it's all about experimenting and coming up with cool creative new shit. Aid climbing or not, he doesn't seem to give a shit cause its all fun! Â I wish I was stronger... or I could be like popeye, only with HC instead of spinach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Viagra is aid, but it's a good thing at my age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â BTW, I'll bet she gives it to a good home. Hmm, maybe I should give her a call... Â Man, that guy can do some cool shit, eh? And damn he goes to some cool places. He had no pics of Alaska though, and AK's the coolest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambone Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 I think there may have been a reason that his show had sort-of an embrace foriegn cultures theme to it...It's not like those trips were recent or anything, kind of old news... Â His Mixed climbing show kicks ass too, worth checking out at cascade crags, plus more stuff will probably be raffeled.

COL._Von_Spanker Posted October 12, 2002 Author Share Posted October 12, 2002 I also love what he's doin'. It's da bomb. You know how teleskiiers have those stickers that say "free your heels", now there's gonna ber stickers that say "free your wrists" (BTW I just copywrited that). Â I've never been one to criticize technique. The whole climbing with tools and whether its' aid dicussion is all semantics anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
