I think Im leaving Friday morning or something. Quote
ryland_moore Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Yeah! What's up with the weather forecasters! Sounds like an easy job to me. You never have to be accountable for what you say and it is not a bad thing that you are completely off as everyone always cusses you anyways. Here's my weather forecast for the next year: From December-April it will be mostly cloudly in the Willamette Valley with periods of light rain on and off with his in the 60s and lows in the 30s. From April to June, partly sunny with scattered showers throughout the day his in the 70s lows in the mid-upper 40s. From June to October Sunny all day every day with no rain, no clouds, his in the hi 70s to low 80s lows in the mid to upper 50s with a cold spell in between or occasional thundershower in the late afternoon. Oct to December, mostly sunny with periods of clouds and light showers, his in the hi 50s to low 60s getting cooler in the evenings. Now pay mea salary so I can go climb for the winter somewhere WARM!See ya at Smith- that is unless the weather report changes for the 100th time this week. Quote
Greg_W Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Your description sounds like a Washington State politician (or any, I guess). Nice forecast, you ought to be able to pull in about $100 large for that. [ 11-07-2002, 10:40 AM: Message edited by: Greg W ] Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Public Service Announcement from the friendly folks at AmazingCo, Inc. ATTENTION: For the last time, the rock at Smith is welded tuff or simply "tuff," and not, as so many of you seem intent on calling it "tuft," which would be a small clump of hair, fur, or feathers, as one might find on Trask's bedpost. Thank you, and have a pleasant day! Quote
freeclimb9 Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 DFA, I could think of several other four letter words to describe the rock at Smith other than "tuff". Quote
Dru Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 The rock at Smiffy Rox has been hereby designated "tuftytuf" and will remain so until we find an even more appalling name for it. Hey DFA have you ever climbed Squaw Rock or any of those obscure pinnacles off in the distance there?? Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Nope. The Doctor has ventured 'round to The Face of the Monkey and various other crags on the back side o' Smith, and out to the Upper Gorge, but ne'er to the many satellites of Smith. Not many bolts out there, you see. The Doctor had his eye on The Product for a while, which is out that way, but some friends recently tried it, and reported that it was wicked hard for the grade, and that it passed through a couple bands of highly suspect rock known as "choss." Thus, the Doctor will now probably not venture out there any time soon. Quote
Dru Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Jordan wright told me the Product was cool. Hey GregW bring some guns to Smith so we can shoot stuff if it rains! [ 11-07-2002, 02:04 PM: Message edited by: Dru ] Quote

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Why not save money and just shoot tuff? Or slacklining hippies, for that matter? Quote

Clay pigeons are aerodynamic and launch nice with a launcher. Hippies aren't as aerodynamic, they tend to scream a lot when hit, and don't load well into a pigeon-thrower. Quote
sk Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 where and when kiddies???? well I know smith this weekend, but I am not hiking all over hell and back to find anyone, so pm me and pick a place to meet at arround 11:am on saterday ifn ya wanna.. if not I will be wimpering at the base of gingersnap waiting for some sucker to come along and feel sorry for me and give me a belay If there is snow on the pass saterday morning JK will have gotten me so drunk on the way there that it could be a "rest" day for me Quote
AlpineK Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Jeff H and I will be at the Grasslands Friday night. Past that I don't know. Quote

AlpineK Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 I'll be the guy with the blue Dodge p/u with a bunch of firewood. Quote
AA Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 We'll see you there too Muffy- check yo pm's woohoo!! Quote
ryland_moore Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 SO, anyone want to comment on the forecast? Check out Noaa's web forecast Looks like snow and rain? I'll give a call to some firends who are out there today and get back to anyone hesitating on going out there. Hey GregW, if it is raining, why don't we just find a good place to do some duck hunting? Then we could feed all our cold and shivering brethren at the Grasslands! Blue Grouse wouldn't be a bad idea either. We could train Cavey's pup in the process! Quote
sk Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 If all else fails... check the grasslands in the evening!!!! and we will climb together the following day MUST CKIMB ROCKS!!! Quote

ryland_moore Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 You think climbers would mind if we threw out a few decoys and started calling in birds on the Crooked right in front of Morning Glory Wall? Quote

b-rock Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Or take the stickclip off the harness, replace with 12 gauge, and have fun with all the pigeons in the huecos on Buckets. Quote
