Figger_Eight Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 That is the funniest shit I've read in a long time! Quote
greenfork Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 classic! Â " It was our summit day in which we planned to conquer Granite Peak and we had slept in a whole hour" Â "We then reached the massive glacier that we had to climb. The only direction it led was straight up." Â "It was necessary for me to put my life on the line several times to save Justin\rquote s life as he shot down the mountain as a result from one false step." Quote

sk Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 Jeez and I thought montanna was full of hardmen this has to be some kind of joke or something Quote
Bronco Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 I liked it, kind of a Hemmingway edginess. Â That dude REALLY needs a mentor on going light weight. 60lb pack? ouch! Quote
Greg_W Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 Hey Bronco; Â You're headed out that way, why don't you take him under your wing? Quote
sketchfest Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 This guy is sooo hard, I can't believe he didn't self diagnos HAPE, when he realized his lungs were filling with fluid. I figure he was only able to pull thru due to his trusty bible and trusty alarm clock. Quote

slothrop Posted June 28, 2002 Author Posted June 28, 2002 This guy's website has a guestbook, and soon after someone sent email to the UW climbers list about The Conquest of Granite Peak, a righteous climber from Seattle signed the guestbook, telling the guy how dangerous and irresponsible he was, etc. etc. I checked the guestbook a few minutes later, to see if anyone else had ripped into him, and he had deleted the critical entry. Guess he doesn't want to hear any criticism... Quote
glen Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 I think what says it all is: "Atop the clouds and beautiful surroundings, we made phone calls to our parents and girlfriends (actually we only wish we had girlfriends)" Quote

Still, there are far less gumbies in Montana then Washington (no mounties) and no permits. Â I remember feeling like Alex Lowe on my way to climb Granite peak back in the day. That was just before we almost got fried by lightning on top of the Froze to Death. Better stry over beers... Â It is a cool place up there, the Beartooths rock! Quote
sk Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 JK is from Billings I guess you would have to know that to get the joke Been there, Bozeman, Mazula too. Montana is amzing!!!!! Quote
Lambone Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 Ok, whoa...actualy I'd go climbing with a mountie anyday over that dude... Â Reading all the books and studying all the maps can not fully train someone to climb the alleged second hardest to climb high point in the continental U.S.When our knowledge of our surroundings failed, our natural survival instincts took over. Â Uh...what planet is this guy from? Oh...Billings, that explains it all. Too much Crystal Meth... Â [ 06-28-2002, 11:49 AM: Message edited by: Lambone ] Quote

Cpt.Caveman Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 Maybe someone should send him an email with a link to all this talk about him. Quote

Richard_Pumpington Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 Yeah, but I thought Scot'teryx wore one of those neoprene facemasks, like in his other impressive summit photo. Quote
greenfork Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 From someone who signed his guest book: Â "And everyone says it is pretty hard to climb, and the thing is we aren't professional climbers, and from what I read in the Billings Gazette a couple of days ago was that <b>Granite Peak is the 3rd most difficult mountain in the U.S. to climb.</b> " Quote
sk Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 wouldn't that make dan and scott cousins as well??? the plot thickens Quote
