See how the lead rope is looping up from the first piece of gear, that's how hard the wind was blowing that day. I had to keep my foot on the tag line to keep it from all blowing around the corner.

Bex says:
That's a disposable camera shot, phot shopped or Not that is a Sweet pic. And Impressive cuz Disposable camera's take on average crappy pics.
climbingtrash says:
Yeah bex, the pic I scanned does look like crap and I was suprised how well it turned out after a little tweaking.
You read me like a cheap novel GB...I was thinking of a new slogan for the ladies that goes something along the lines of "Sorry boys...The only thing I ever blow are clips!" What do you think of that Bex?
Bex says:
Niiice.
gonzobeer says:
You may be a cheap novel Trash, but at least you're a hard bound, not a paperback.
Licentia Haud Vestigium
Bex says:
What do you know about Trash Being Hard GB??? I'm scared.
gonzobeer says:
Get your mind outta the gutter! It was supposed to be a compliment, kinda.....not really......I was expecting a joke of somekind.
Licentia Haud Vestigium
Bex says:
Ya it was a weak attempt on my part. I can't get my mindo out of the gutter I live in the gutter.
gonzobeer says:
Don't tell me these things.......
Licentia Haud Vestigium
Bex says:

Licentia Haud Vestigium
Bex says:

Licentia Haud Vestigium
Bex says:

Spudz says:
fine
Bex says:
Oh Spudz you pooor kid.
woodchuck07 says:
all good things begin in the gutter, don't they? where is this post going anyway? I have no idea what it's about anymore and missed the heated inuendos between Bex and GB on Saturday it seems. and now they've dragged young Spudz into the fracas too.(Remember, he's 9 I think from that posted photo with the dog, or was it 11?)
Bex says:
inuedndo's really....I'll have to look, I can't remember or corruption of the young is my specialty.
Spudz says:
14!!
Spudz says:
(o yea don't bring WC into your faces) [remember hes 70]
woodchuck07 says:
Bex, isn't this fun to antagonize the youngster?
Bex says:
Hellz ya...So sad that I'm nearly twice Spudz age yet I could pass as 14 looks wise.
gonzobeer says:
Don't use such big words Woody, Spudz can't understand.
Licentia Haud Vestigium
woodchuck07 says:
2 times spudz = 1 Bex woodchuck/4 = spudz 2XSpudz + 1 Bex = ?? karma in math...
gonzobeer says:
Umm, let me see. the answer is GB and CW to the third power. Right?
Licentia Haud Vestigium
woodchuck07 says:
naw, they screwed up the spacing I left between equations when they loaded it. Guess they do it to save space and didn't figure on math problems.
2xSpudz + 1 Bex was supposed to be a separate problem = to ME, woodchuck.
Spudz says:
woodchuck=(bex44)(gb5)(spudz9999)
Spudz says:
in other words woodchuck = old
woodchuck07 says:
dam, he got even with me on that one. 14! HA! I've got climbing shoes older than you!
Spudz says:
i dont have climbing shoes older than you
Spudz says:
they'd be dust if they were
woodchuck07 says:
what'dya talking about? they din't HAVE climbing shoes when I was born. They had bare neanderthal feet.
gonzobeer says:
Woody has bunions older thank you too Spudz.
Licentia Haud Vestigium
Spudz says:
whats neanderthal feet
Spudz says:
u too gonzo
gonzobeer says:
I might have some calices older than you, shit I've been playing guitar longer than you've been alive. And don't worry, you'll learn about Neanderthal Man in High School ;D
Licentia Haud Vestigium
Spudz says:
you might have some chalices but not from climbing
woodchuck07 says:
ooooh, GB, he got you there.! I got no bunions, that's for sure. Just no toe nails as they've been crushed and not grown back well since an ice climb/frostbite/crushed toes ordeal about 20 years ago. Not quite an epic Messner kind of tale, but bad enough.
gonzobeer says:
Did you have a bad day at daycare Spudz? You're being mean today :)
Licentia Haud Vestigium
Spudz says:
im just playen around hope you guys are
woodchuck07 says:
Na, we old buzzards are always this mean and grumpy to 14 year old snots. Mostly cuz they can out climb us;-(
gonzobeer says:
Exactly, you should know that by now buddy.

Bex says:
I was flipping through phot's again and MAN this has to be one of my Favorites.
climbingtrash says:
Thanks Bex! You'll have to come out to Utah some time and we'll take you up this route.

gonzobeer says:
Only on a windy day....if you're gonna do something, do it right.
Licentia Haud Vestigium
climbingtrash says:
You have a better chance of hitting the lotto than you do getting a windless day on Castleton.
