Scottish_wanker Posted August 27, 2002 Author Posted August 27, 2002 Many thanks caveman, I'll look them up in the guide. Who is this guy Beckey anyway????only joking! Quote
Alex Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Caveman has some good ideas. Here are some links you can use to come up with more inspiration, ideas, and beta: Mike Stanton (mvs): http://www.mountainwerks.org/cma/ me: http://www.mountainwerks.org/alexk/ Philfort: http://www.mtnphil.com/AllTrips.asp Eric: http://ericsbasecamp.net/ Dave Burdick, who sometimes climbs with those damn BoeAlpers http://www.alpinedave.com/ Bob Meshew (yet another damn Softie!) http://members.tripod.com/rmeshew/Chronology.htm and Loren: http://www.cascadeclimber.com/ All these sites strive to present professionally, and discuss an amazing range of options in the Cascades. You can spend days reading and getting ideas for the next trip. Cheers, Alex [ 08-27-2002, 10:20 AM: Message edited by: Alex ] Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 I notice how you dont mention MikeAdam's site which is full of beta and humor Quote

Cpt.Caveman Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Dru you crack me up. Just more proof alexi and those dudes are in a clique (not meshew though, he's cool ) and are busy patting each other's backs. They dont like mike. Some of those sights are great. Some downright dry and boring. There are good photos though. Quote

Alex Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Wait, are those the only two choices? Probably both! Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 I must admit I am a horrible writer. Oh well But I can take a beta photo at the right time. Not like it takes a lot though. Quote

Controversey and witty writing and photos are great entertainment added with the mountains. I think it is arguable that Mike's site has way more beta and good photos than your own Alex Anyway have fun in your silly clique. I'll be the one tokin in the Muir Hut with Alpinek and Dru.

sk Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Alpinelite is great reading. full of wonderful stories of adventure, and awsome pics. Cavey I think you write well. Perhaps not "prfessionaly" (ie: dry and boring) but your stories always make me laugh and think. I have not read everything there but I have contributed and probably will again Quote

I'll be the one tokin in the Muir Hut with Alpinek and Dru.yeah, next thing you know we might even name ourselves and award prizes to other people who beat their chests! Sounds good to me. It might add something interesting as far as content is concerned about your website. See Dru and I on the side for pointers. We'll go out and toca bola and show you the power of the zen buds. Quote
Dru Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 We did not name or define our loose organization. The KTK were named by Lambone for which service he is forever denied membership But the handing out of chestbeater awards is a public service designed to make fun of self important types who take themselves too seriously. If you don't like it don't beat your chest and you will never recieve the coveted TROPHY [ 08-27-2002, 03:20 PM: Message edited by: Dru ] Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 As publicly stated on a public professional website ******************************************* Kascade Trad Klan Location: Chilliwack/Seattle, British Columbia Founded: 2001 Members: <20 A loose organization of Canadian and American mountaineers dedicated to traditional rock climbing and mountaineering. Membership is free and anyone who can drink and shoot their mouth off is probably eligible for membership. "We are the new Vulgarians". For more disinformation visit the KTK homepage somewhere on www.alpinelite.com Quote
Dru Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 I will have to edit that to say "except for Lambone." Quote
