Dwayner Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 A week ago, we had the opportunity to extend a big mountain high-five to our excellent pal, Matt P., who exemplifies effortless coolness. And in the spirit of the Year of Big Lou, I am pleased to announce this week's Alpine Buddy of the Week. (I am now pulling a slip of paper out of a ratty old stuff sack.) The Alpine Buddy is..............................ERIK! Congratulations, young man. You were nominated and have been selected not only for your excellent climbing skills and dedication, but also for your thoughtful and honorable efforts to continually evolve in good directions. I don't know you that well but I've read a lot of your posts, and we've shared a number of beers together, and I think this week's selection is very deserving. Thanks for the inspiration, my alpine brother, and we'll see you at the crags, if not at the pub nights. Quote
Mr._Good_Time Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 Erik??? C'mon. The guy's a well-known drunk. Juan Quote
mikeadam Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 That's just an even better reason to nominate him! Quote
Dwayner Posted January 23, 2002 Author Posted January 23, 2002 Mr. Good Time! With a name like yours you'd think that you would appreciate someone with good social/party skills. Give your ol' buddy Erik a cyber-handshake and say, "well done, my craggin' comrade", "keep up the good work, amigo", etc.After all, this IS the Year of Big Lou.aloha, Dwayner who just woke up and is workin' on Mickey's no.5! (One mo to go!)AND THE REST OF YOU CAN CHIME IN WITH KIND, APPRECIATIVE COMMENTS IF YOU LIKE. This is your chance to honor your Alpine Buddy; who know's maybe it will be your turn next week!

Bronco Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 yeah, erik is soooooo fat!! er uh, phat!! that's it, phat!! Quote
chucK Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 Here's to Erik! He makes the married guys feel lucky and the single guys feel smart when he asks for dating advice. He does the dirty job of moderating SPRAY. The only more thankless is probably parking-ticket cop. Here's to Erik! Unabashed defender of Takoma! He's a helluva guy! Quote
Dru Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 Erik is a rock solid belay slave . He needs to sharpen his screws though. Cmon Snyder! Dig out those files! Quote
vegetablebelay Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 Eric's got good taste in music - I'm starting to like the Ozo CD and I've only listened to it twice. Quote
pope Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 Now I don't know this Erik so well, but we've met. I can't evaluate his climbing abilities, but I can attest to the fact that he's an "effortlessly capable" drinker (he can't hold his liquor, but he'll drink you under the table!) And anybody OK by Dwayner is OK by me (except some of Dwayner's partners...not to be confused with his climbing partners). So, here's to Brother Erik, Brother Erik, Brother Erik. Erik, he all that. He got climb. Quote
mattp Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 And he took one of the coolest pictures that pops up on the front page of this board! That shot of Mike on Damnation is great. Ja Erik. Quote
Matt Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 Another good pick Dwayner! Erik is one cool dude. Quote
dr._jay Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 right on, dwayner, i couldn't think of a more fitting alpine buddy. erik is an excellent partner to have in the mountains (i don't know about effortless though, with the way he grunts and curses while climbing) or while drinking or partying or road tripping or spraying or, well, you get the idea. here's to ya, e-dog!
