Smoke-a-bowldering

[Dru]

It is that time of year. You go out with your puffy jacket, toque, big cushion and scrub brush. But the boulder is too wet to climb. Luckily the conditions are perfect for smoke-a-bowldering. You sit under the overhanging part of the boulder on the mat and spark some consolation. Soon you are talking shit to your spotters as the peace pipe is passed around the circle carefully spotted to make sure it doesnt go out. "Yeah, yeah, send, send, hold it" they chant as you inhale a great blue cloud and keep it down in your lungs. Another bowldering V18 is conquered! Better spray about it and have Pusher (good name, that) release video footage tomorrow to all the online spray groups and magazines!

Dru, you act like this is something new. Back when I started climbing, the Pope was just a young polish choir-boy, and we called it pounding bongs. Why we'd go out to a hairy aid climb, sit under the overhanging first pitch on the packs and rip lungfulls...that had to be A-1/4, or at least A-1/8. We were toying around on bowlders as a mere training exercise. We never took a mere bowl-load seriously, only good for keeping you toned...not too useful really and how high can you get on a mere bowl-der?

My first time at Smith Rocks:

Whillans, Brett aka Bo, and I were jonesing for weed. We were all in the army at the time and could get nada. Playing hackeysack outside the restroom facility at the campground when entered the dude with the Smoca~Bola shirt to play hackeysack. Yep we got stoned all right what timing!

Later the next summer we saw Dave at Paradise working at the restaurant and told us stories of snowboarding the Fuhrer Finger. ~TOO COOL~

True Smith story: two friends of mine (I will call them Pat & Dan )were down at smith and jonesing. So they see some skater kid hitch hiking and pick him up. "Hey skater kid where can we score some weed?" "Uh dude, I think you could go out to the house of this old hippie in Prineville - but I got some speedballs right here!" "Oh, no thanks, we're Canadian!" "What is that, some religion or something?"

Looks like Chris Sharma's got a little problem with the devil's weed. I sincerely doubt he inhaled or anything..probably just has traces of THC from keeping his greenbacks in a hemp wallet.
