I am there Geo, matter of fact I'll probably take the whole week and hang with anyone who will have me.
Now, there are a few quib pro quos I must mention:
Firstly: If there is a death in my family, they are going to have to schedule the funeral later or miss me, cause I am going to Ouray.
Also: If I am needed at work that week with no exceptions... I'll be looking for a home in Leadville or Ouray and a job of some sort cause I am going to Ouray.
And furthermore: In the event that the apocolypse is upon us and the horseman are harvesting the undead, and the heavens are falling as firey silt upon our heads, I'll be bringing an extra helmet and some longer screws as the firey silt is bound to rot out the first inch or two of ice, cause I am going to mutha F-kin OURAYYYYY!1
So like... I'm in.

geo...cheaper than buyin' an ad banner.
I will have a bit of everything; a couple
original paintings, some originial illustrations;
and hopefully at least two sets of 100 prints of illustrations,
so those with climber-sized bank accounts can go home with something.
Not sure when the opening is, but therer will be advertising locally weekend of I'm sure.

Mr. Geo
be sure to introduce yourself.
As far as swinging tools...
Hmmmm...sadly, years of turning down invites to try out the ice thing will probably come to an end. When in rome...
Actually, I'm looking forward to trying it out.

So, MISTER Geo has alerted me to this fine meeting of the minds. I have longed to take a peek at the ice side of things. If the JTree gathering doesn't conflict, I'd LOVE to attend, totally gumbied out :shock: Now, to go collect pop cans and donate plasma to afford the foray to Ouray...

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Been There done that!! A few years back I was a sponsored snowboarder, and believe me it's not as glamorous as it sounds. Anyway! The local Rep. asked me to attend a big Demo weekend at a resort in The U.P. of Mich. I was jobless at the time and it was a 9 hr drive. So i decided to donate plasma for the cash to go. When I got there the rep saw the band-aid on my arm and asked what happened, he was so impressed that I would do that for him that he gave me another board. He also took me out to a local strip club and "Inducted" me to the team... :shock: Oh The memories....
Ouray funfun! I have some friends who already have a large condo and are planning on throwing a huge theme party, not sure what the theme is yet but they were leaning towards a Hawaian shirt; luwow(sp?) kind a thing.

I remember a local climber telling me about this festivity and I am wondering this:
I HAVE NEVER CLIMBED ICE. NEVER!!! Obviously it would be great to show up and have some experience with Ice Climbing. But if I cannot get any experience would it be ok to show up and give it a try?
I have always dreamed of doing Ice Climbing but I live in southern Utah and we don't exactly have a "Cornacopia of Ice" down here?
I am also wondering where it is located. I know it's in Ouray, Colorado... but where is that (Northern, Eastern etc...) Thanks! I AM AN ICE NEWWWWBBBBBB AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Me: "Can I have the kids for 6 days instead of 2 so we can go to the Ouray Icefest?"
Ex: "Oh sure, will you teach them to climb sick ice?"
Me: "..well I expect they'll be picking up lots of pointers...
Ex: "..and let them wedge their sleeping bags under the couch so none of the drunks step on them?"
Me: "...well, we really don't party that hard..."
Ex: " Of course you can go, and if you need extra money for airfare, new gear or more beer, just deduct it from my support check!"
yeah well....maybe next year...fifty fifty shot...

I don't know why this board eats my smilies but it does.
Hold onto that shot, cuz its m not a dead option yet. I'm earning some trading stock as we speak, picking up extra weekends till December cuz she wants to get in some OT...still a lot of uphill to get past and if it happens it'll most likely be last minute.

neeshman -- pack yer trash, buddy-boy, and join us at ouray! to tell the truth, during the ice fest [i:0331b96de8]isn't[/i:0331b96de8] the best time to climb -- too much of a chance to get something big dropped on your head -- but it IS a great scene. kinda' like woodstock. show up and we WILL get you on the ice, though. and, by the way ... there's some rippin' ice in your neck of the woods in the little cottonwood canyon area, i believe.

Is this the same Jeremy having the art opening @ Ouray that does all of the climbing illustrations for Rock & Ice magazine? Of course it is. And of course he'll be swinging tools (if we have to duct tape them to his wrists!).

Hey Neeshman, I have a good buddy who lives down in St George. he a pretty damn good climber and that include's Ice. Maybe you know Chad?
Anyway there is supposed to be some pretty good ice up around Cedar city...and I know that's close!! You could always take one of the Beginner clinic's at the festival.
By the way Do people really climb at the Ice fest???
Oh crap this is shaping up to be an over the top weekend!!

Nice Katy!!! Good to know people who actually know how the town's name is pronounced. When I hear people talk about what a jammin time they had in OO-ray, I know they're sprayin cuz otherwise they'd know how to pronounce the town's friggin name :lol: :lol: !
Joebuzz and I are tentatively planning on attenting this year. I spent last MLK ice climbing in Lee Vining, and the whole time I was there I was like "dammit - I wish I was in Ouray!", promised myself I'd get back there this winter. Might as well do it during the ice fest.
I'll know for sure in December once I get my time off approved since it's so far in the future right now. I'm 90 pct sure I'm going at this point...pending a REALLY warm winter and bad ice there, then I might not be up for the 18 hour drive from LA to climb on slush :wink: .

I ice climbed a few years ago and this was about the feeling i got from it:
...stabbing the beveled edge beneath the surface of the glistening skin, a tingle shooting up my arm into my grey matter, eyes dialating, pulse quickening, breathing in long forceful chains, as my muscles tighten, and contract and i begin to get light headed and feel the effects of adrenalin coursing deep throughout my being......
yeah im in, im actually buying crampons this week, but im not sure what im getting. ill be going for sure. bringing wine. cameras, and my fun talkative boisterous self.
im in.

Zins, Sins, debauchery, and a good all around time! This time though i may bring a few different Etoh toxins to make the hangover slightly less overwhelming. I think the 128 proof bourbon will fix that.
Josh, Ill keep my secret weapon stowed the entire time.
and the cabin maybe a go, Im planning on being there 16-18 leaving early 19 to get back to work. its a b*tch but someon has to do it...C'est la vie....
wait, no one monitors in french here.... :twisted:

Moabbeth,
Not so fast - I know of a few local ranchers who say "Ooray". As in - "Boy, you have no business being in Ooooray" I am not saying their right but they have ranched that area longer than I have been alive.
Bye way, Check out how the Hurricane local's pronounce their town when you are on the way Zion. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'll be in Hurricane in a couple weeks, I'll have to check that out! :wink:
I've never heard locals call it OOray. I always wondered how it was pronounced and my first time there I asked like 4 different shopkeepers and they all said yur-ray. And in all my visits back there since...and many drunken eves at the Portal swilling with locals, it's always the same. Hurray...Ouray! :lol: Ah hell, no matter what people call it, it's still the best! I love my lil Ouray.

Well Geo, I'm not sure I should take Spanish lessons from anyone in your neck of the woods (just up the road from "Buena Vista"). And I know they are only for gringos south of the border but margaritas son mas buena.
Skibabe, you can't keep that nom de plume till you learn to tele. But, alas, it won't be from me this season. However, I have a friends I can crash with in You-ray so the Fest isn't out of the question yet (he says before the surgery). OTOH scuba diving is the only thing I've done that's equalled the rush of skiing deep powder so there's more to Mexico than booze and women ;-)
As for Colorado pronunciations:

So, in summary:
We've got a bald headed former Marine Pilot who demands we call him "Mister," which was always a term reserved for new officers (i.e. "Mr. Marks, why don't you go do your lieutenant paperwork and leave us to handle the work?"...
We've got a water-spraying, hose-rolling, knuckle-dragging, ladder-carrying firefighter who surfs...
We've got an artist who is trying to sell artwork to fund his climbing habit...
We've got an Arizona resident who's willing to sell her kidney to fund the trip just so she can climb ice in a Hawaiian shirt... and perhaps a grass skirt? :shock:
We've got an Italian woman who speaks French, but isn't permitted to drink the night before climbing (see: RMNP Gathering thread for "Poster Girl for Suck" award...)
We've got someone willing to bring all the booze we can drink, including 128 proof Bourbon and a bottle of "Seven Deadly Zins," even though he should know better to offer (again, see: RMNP Gathering.)
[Added as an edit, so Tradkelly doesn't feel left out and go home to cry!] We've got a gnarly all-around climber who comes up with ideas like "The Midnight Naked 5.7 Slab Group Climb."
This sounds like a strange, diverse, and generally boisterous crowd that will quickly fall into the throes of drunkeness, debauchery, lewd behavior, and other assorted types of misconduct.
OK, I'm in, and I'm bringing two pans of Lasagna (one meat, one veggie.) Someone bring the wine (red AND white, please.)
Provided I can get the time off work. I'll let ya know ASAP. And I'd prefer to stay in the cabin.
Oh, and Clyde? When you're in Mexico nursing your injured knee, be sure to ask for Raoula. Tell her Geo and I sent ya.
(See above for the reason for the edit.)

Geez, Jeff. You left me out. The one who stays up with the ones who got too hung over to climb (or, well, anything) the next day, gets up just slightly after the Marine rotorhead, totally aids a 7-pitch heinous OW in Lumpy, and then stays up to drink the next night. And I'll just leave out the 5.8X the next morning, dude. I'm disappointed in you. :roll: I'll be climbing, luau or not. Just don't stand under me.
Oh, and I'm in for the haus. Whatever it turns out to be. Beats a stinky bag in a cold tent. Bring your swim suits - this time there's gonna be hot springs, not just some 'i already took a shower' kinda merde hot tub. :D

Dude! I would totally be up for the condo thing! I could put forth my share of $$$. Just PM me if:
1) You have enough room, and please! I can setup a bed ANYWHERE! As climbers you should know the validity of that statement! :D :D :D
2) You have a price in mind!
I would love to meet new people and learn as much as possible from them. Plus all my friends are moving away and I need new ones! :D :lol: :D :roll:
Oh and mtngeo, thanks for the encouragement man! I am doing my best to be there. WOOT WOOT!
Oh... and this is for Flamer
In reply to: Hey Neeshman, I have a good buddy who lives down in St George. he a pretty damn good climber and that include's Ice. Maybe you know Chad? Anyway there is supposed to be some pretty good ice up around Cedar city...and I know that's close!! You could always take one of the Beginner clinic's at the festival.
Hey I know who Chad Perkinsd is, never met him personally but I know of him. Is that who you are talking bout?

Wait a sec, what other kind of learning did you think I was talking about?
BTW, anyone passing through southern Utah to get to the festival need any help with gas money and driving? It would be awesome to do some sort of car pool, I would chip in gas $$$ fo sho! I can get there on my own, just wondering though.
PS. I would need a ride back to obviously

Hey babeage, that looks familiar. Is that in the condo complex next to the river at the south end of town (the one across the parking lot from the hot springs?). It's called River something. I stayed there the winter before last, the offseason December rate for that puppy was only $75 a night...for 3 stories, patio, fireplace, living room, dining room, full kitchen, washer/dryer in the unit. That thing was SWEET!! I imagine they jack the prices though around the week before Xmas and keep them high thru February. Early/mid December is a great time to be around both there and Telluride, the end of the off-season deals are a steal!

wanna' know what that picture of the room reminds me of? remember joe walsh from the eagles?
back in the day when rockers were wild ... i mean [b:d5144a1290]really[/b:d5144a1290] wild ... joe was the recognized king of trashing hotel rooms. in fact he once used a [i:d5144a1290]chainsaw[/i:d5144a1290] to completely and utterly destroy a penthouse suite in some high-dollar hotel. one year for his birthday, the rest of the guys gave him a gold-plated chainsaw.
i imagine joe standing by the stairs thinking, "okay ... [i:d5144a1290]heeeere[/i:d5144a1290] we go!"

Yes, if there's someone to tele with. I'm very adept at towing knuckle-draggers all around mountains (somewhere someone decided that my additional degree of freedom made me the tow-boy), but I'd much rather have someone to rip with. :wink: I'm in for whatever - as long as there's people there to play with, I'm up for it. Do we know or have any cute tele-babes?

Still rounding up a pose from St George - should be enough to whip the horses over the passes and through the valleys.
Booked into the Victorian - 'cos its hot tubs are the closest to the ice!
Got the hawaian shirt ready for action.
They say we all drank 31 kegs last year - seems like a challange to me?
Are you chalet homies planning a party night? Or day...

How do you climb ice in August?

Okay, so it's November now, and cold. I'm itching. How many are in, and how many spaces are still TBD? If the damn sun would stay up late one day maybe I could go farm Silver Spoon one of these days. Wait, better idea - quit job, go ice climbing indefinitely. I'm sure there'll be a job waiting for me in May...

Trying to resist the urge to comment... Must not comment. Must not say anything...
Oh, the heck with it.
Chicklet: I'm a guy. I have a... um... "connection" to bones. (See Geo's post about timber and solid steel. It's a guy thing, you wouldn't understand. ;) )
Besides, they're cool.
I could, if you wanted, use a picture of a open cranial vault fracture, where you could see the guy's brain. Nasty stuff, and that pic has made more than one person lose their lunch.
P.S. Martha: I sent my $$ for the deposit today. Forgot to send it on Friday. Sorry.

Clinic sign-up is now available with the information listed on the festival webpage ( http://www.ourayicefestival.com/clinics.htm ). I thought that particularly Malcolm's and Ed Viesturs' clinics might be interesting. Anyone want to do one or more of these midday as a group (morning being too chilly, and afternoons being reserved for us leadin' stuff)?

[quote:281b108afc="skibabeage"]Geo's already been on ice this year, so it's forming nicely. What a spectacular year/event this is going to be![/quote:281b108afc]
indeed. i was in ten-mile canyon this afternoon and things [i:281b108afc]are[/i:281b108afc] shaping up nicely. i ran a couple of laps on [i:281b108afc]tony's nightmare [/i:281b108afc]and [i:281b108afc]around the corner[/i:281b108afc] ... and they are coming right along. thin, to be sure -- in fact i had to use three birdbeaks in a row *gulp*; one was tied-off *double gulp* -- but coming along nicely.
oh, i've also been on the ice at lincoln falls -- in the hoosier pass area -- several times, and [i:281b108afc]that's[/i:281b108afc] looking good.
[b:281b108afc]a word to the wise: [/b:281b108afc]check the backcountry avalanche conditions before you go. where we climbed today, in the ten-mile canyon area of I-70 (here in colorado), we observed signs of recent activity. as well, the colorado avalanche information center today reported a slide that was 300 feet wide. i don't recall where in colorado it took place, but it certainly is portentous.

In reply to: look alive, people ... we're getting clobbered by the "seneca thanksgiving" and "oozefest" threads. are we hard-chargin', frost-bitten, tool-swangin' mo'fo's ... ... or a bunch of warm-weather, redbull sipping panty-waists?
I am hard-charging... wanna see my creditcard statement?
My tool does swing (rather like a metronome,) but I try mightily to keep it from getting frostbite. It may come in handy someday, and considering size DOES matter (something you wouldn't know, Geo,) I don't want any parts to freeze and fall off.

In reply to: Hey, how come nobody ever asks what men wear under grass skirts (instead of under kilts!)?
I'm reminded of a song that mentions a blue ribbon.

In reply to: We're so good to go with this gathering! Here's the latest update to the roster: sandbag - deposit plus tradkelly - deposit sean - deposit reno - deposit plus jasona - deposit El Vez - paid in full! skibabeage - paid in full! neeshman (x2) - check's in the mail! sharpie (x2) - ditto above mtngeo - a definite commitment kcrag - ditto above soulstice - a definite maybe by December if she doesn't spend all her money in Switzerland! :wink: We'll keep this list dynamic, and if anyone cancels, there will certainly be space available. Again, whoever pays gets a space, first come, first served! The condo is beautiful, and we'll get a concensus as to when we'd like to have a group dinner. Might be Friday night, might be Saturday night, but it'll be something wonderful, guaranteed! Skibby

well, my kiddo will be out of school that week, so i'll porbably go but havent worked out if the kiddo will be in tow or not. (mostly depends on having the money to fly him to tx for the weekend.)
flamer - what are the rates for shared space in the truck? i like the condo idea, but $150 is a bit steep when you still dont have a job.

Okay, Telluride is cool!
And, I think Silverton is $119 in Januray, it is pretty steep (no pun).

In reply to: the bus is leaving. you are either on the bus, or you are not on the bus.
A Bus?
http://user.mc.net/hyden/images/bus.gif
Won't it be difficult to drive a bus all the way there?
I mean, doesn't Colorado have a few hills?
I seem to recall reading about big hills somewhere around here.
And I'm certainly no expert, but I can't imagine a bus would be easy to control on an icy road.
Maybe if we have chains for the tires...
Do they make chains that big? Who's gonna pay for the chains?
And then there's the whole parking issue...
Shouldn't we take a 4x4 or something?
Better yet, we'll all get some horses or mules.
Geo, you can get a donkey.
http://www.geocities.com/...ey_love_brubaker.jpg
And I thought this was in August. That's more than 45 days away.
I'm really confused now. :roll:

Isn't that the next step above Bucket Banger?
As I recall, it's Hose Monkey, Bucket Banger, Ladder Lugger, and Water Wanker.
At one time, Stretcher Fetcher was included in the list.
Oh, and being a certified Knuckle Dragger is the prerequisite for all of them.

yo, amber_chica ... you and yer "offline friend" should reacquaint yourselves with geography as it pertains to your plans. the durango-ouray route up US 550 is kinda' sketchy that time of year. it could take an hour and a half; it could take all day; and, as can sometimes happen, the road might just be closed.

Yeah Last year my buddy told me to go down around and through Montrose(i was coming from Vegas), But me being the genius that I am!! I took one look at the map and said, "no way that's the long way"!! BIG MISTAKE. That road takes FOREVER! And It's BAD.....I ain't no wussy driver neither!!
Have fun driving that thing....

here's one fer flamer and reno:
a paramedic and a firefighter are walking through downtown denver one fine afternoon when they come upon a little boy sitting on the sidewalk. the little boy has a 5-gallon bucket, and he's stirring something in it with a stick.
the paramedic gets down on one knee and asks the little boy, "so ... whatcha' doing?" the little boy looks up at him and says, "i got me five gallons of sh*t, and i'm gonna' make me a [i:0e54d9c48a]paramedic[/i:0e54d9c48a]."
well, the firefighter just doubles over with laughter and is about to [i:0e54d9c48a]pee his pants [/i:0e54d9c48a]from laughing so hard. the paramedic, meanwhile, red in the face from embarassment, asks the little boy, "okay, then ... but why not make a [i:0e54d9c48a]firefighter[/i:0e54d9c48a] instead?"
the little boy looks into the bucket, then back up at the paramedic and says, "because i ain't got enough [i:0e54d9c48a]sh*t[/i:0e54d9c48a]." :wink:

Well, I suppose if all we did was sit around the station all day, rather than running calls, we could be on scene as fast as the bucket brigade.
:)
Not that I care anymore, since I'm no longer "there."
Wish ya could have joined us today... warm, sunny, and clear. Ran laps on HighWire Crag in Clear Creek. Led People's Choice (did it as two pitches, led both,) and Cracker Jack. Good stuff.
See ya soon, everyone... Ouray is a month away.

Hey Reno, Flamer, Alpinerocket,
Do we need to schedule one of those " Sensitivity training" sessions to get you back in line with the program here or what?
I think we can plan on at least a few hundred compartmentalized reasons to discuss this issue and ill bring about 48 of them when i show up.... :P

I've never met Alpinerocket, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess he's just like Flamer and I... Sensitive to the very end. Right, guys?

Yep... we're all sensitive people. Warm, caring, and dedicated. Yep.

...trying to think of any paved road I'd LESS want to drive in the winter than the 7 miles from Red Mountain Pass down to Ouray....and failing...
...turning to 4 x 4 trails.....still failing...okay, Nellie Creek might be worse...Lost Creek up past Marble might be worse...still...
Find some friends north of Ouray, Ridgeway or Montrose...getting in from that side's a piece of cake by comparison...

Mr. Geo and others.
An update on the gallery opening.
It will be thursday night as to not conflict with all the other evening festivities. It is a Wine and Cheese deal, so bring your pattigucci.
Skol Gallery is on Main; it's address is 812.
There will four other artists including two sculpturists, a photographer and anothe rpainter, all from Colorado. I know at least two of us are climbers...not sure on the others.
Hope to see you there.
Jer Collins

elvislegs and tracyroach --
the first line i was talking about is called "out of the mainstream", and it goes WI 4-5 for 1200 feet. it can only really be done if the snow cover is thin, otherwise the avalanche danger there is absolutely insane. we'll go up there and take a look one day.
the other climb is "bird brain boulevard", which goes WI 5-6 for 1000 feet. i did both of them two years ago, and i have t tell you, bird brain is a blast! in places it's so narrow you can't spread your arms without touching rock. speaking of which, it's mostly rock pro (pitons, to be exact) and fairly run out, with 20-30 feet between many placements.
if you're game, let's get on them.

Just so I'm clear... What day is everyone arriving? Thursday? Wednesday night?
Car pooling would probablybe a good idea. Who's got reliable autos that can hold gear and carry people? I'd be happy to drive, but my Jeep will only hold two (me and one other) and gear. Not real warm, either.
So... All you SUV driving soccer mom types: Sound off.

I'm flying in. Thursday afternoon most likely. Haven't booked my ticket yet though. I'll post up if/when I know I need a lift. Otherwise I'll have to rely on my boyish charm and striking euro trash looks to hitch me a ride. Which is to say... I'll have to walk.

In reply to: Hey, flame, just so there's no confusion, howsabout you take care of the *cough* dirtbag list and I'll take care of the condo list! I had to do a double take when I saw yours!
Don't you know that confusion is my intent??Or maybe I'm just being nonconformist, I haven't decided yet.
Are you sure you didn't have to double take because those eyes have seen so much?
So who's up for mixed stuff?

I'm up for it any day but Sunday. I have a clinic. I'm ariving on Friday. I'm going to try to talk the girls into going up on Thurs. When is the buffet? Thurs or Fri?
Reno. . .I'd offer you a ride but I'll have a truck full of hot climber babes. I know you don't want any part of that. The only room is on their laps. Sorry. :cry:

Link to event schedule:

I'll cook lasagna on Thursday night, Saturday night, or Sunday night, whichever works best for the group (there's an "All You-Can-Eat" beer and food thing on Friday for $10.)

Better make your Lasagna on Thursday. Saturday night is the Fundraiser dinner for the Ouray volunteer fire department, This event makes up a HUGE part of their operating budget and it would be VERY BAD form for RC.comer's to skip it. Oh did I mention FREE BEER???

In reply to: Hey, reno, I say pick your night for the lasagne feast, and what a superb idea! Let us all know what we need to provide and we'll make it so!
The food is on me, but it's a B.Y.O.W. dinner (Bring Yer Own Wine.)
In reply to: There are a bazillion things going on each night (including the awards ceremony on Sunday night) so it's really a crap shoot which night you choose. But Friday night is definitely a good eve to keep free!
Thursday night is lasagna night. Be there, or don't.
In reply to: And while I have everyone's attention, Geo and I (and the rest of us who'd like to catch some z's) are setting up the GERIATRIC WARD at the condo. In essence, that means that the bedroom FURTHEST away from the downstairs rucus will be immediately and heretofore commandeered for those folks in the crowd who'd like to rest between events and be climbing something other than the walls!
Probably a capital idea. After all, we all know what happened the last time you tried to run with the young pups... (Lumpy.)

(Q) What's the difference between a vacuum cleaner and a snowboard? (A) How the dirtbag is attached.
(Q) How do snowboarders great each other? (A) Sorry, dude.

i guess that Scot Schmidt wasnt a real man, or the DeLauriers brothers, and the rest. When Geo starts telemarking the Chugach range, then ill start thinking about freeing my heel to kautau to that opinion.
Hey Geo, when are you showing up to Ouray? Got time to darg me up something before the festivities begin? Ill bring the Single Malt

Well, its good to see that a well expereinced and open man like yourself is willing to help them come out. I call Rob and Scot and arrange for the film crew.
Ill follow you on the climbing, seems thats the safest place to be.
PM me and i ll figure out if i will dirt bag it over night from boulder to Ouray and hook up for an early morning jaunt.
Ill bring the 18 yoMcCallan, its legal, and delicious. :shock:

Nope! I don't Ride much anymore. $ times a year is about it for me, I'd rather climb these days.
I think all these skier folks are still pissed because we saved their Ski resort's in the 90's.
Did anybody else notice that the "latest thing" on Ski's is to do SNOWBOARD TRICKS???
Well except for the old farts who still think bashing gates is cool...and then there's the ones who think TRAINING to bash gates is cool.
Now Tele there's something practical that I can respect!! I need to pick that up so I can travel more efficiently in the baskcountry, snowshoes be damned!!

[quote:351b2fd9a9="skibabeage"]Q. snowboarder moves into your house, where do you hide your money?
A. UNDER THE SOAP![/quote:351b2fd9a9]
that sounds like this blissed-out hippie-chick i once dated. her name was autumn rainbow -- it said so on her license -- and she claimed to have been conceived at woodstock.
anyway, autumn was a really cool chick. she worked part-time as a decorative icer in an erotic bakery and was a founding member of the local strip pictionary league.
alas, she would bathe but twice a week, prefering to go au natural save for the slightest hint of patchouli.
the lithesome ms rainbow was a sworn vegetarian (not so much for the love of animals as for the hatred of plants) and was rail thin. to say she was lean is to say elizabeth taylor enjoys the ocassional bite of wedding cake. no, this girl was all knees and elbows, and i liken making love to her to falling into a dumpster full of baseball bats and end tables
where was ... oh, yeah ... "under the soap". sorry ... must have been an acid flashback. :wink:

In reply to: Well except for the old farts who still think bashing gates is cool...and then there's the ones who think TRAINING to bash gates is cool.
And if we really want to think cool, think of some of ski images on TV and Sports Illustrated:
1) Austria's Herman "The Herminator" Meier in his amazing upside-down airborne fall in the last Olympic's downhill. He came back a few days later to win the super G.
2) The Herminator was in a serious motorcycle/car accident less than two years ago in which he almost lost both of his legs. Last weekend he won the World Cup downhill and took second in the super G at Colorado's own Beaver Creek.
3) America's Bode Miller, whose wild recovery in the Olympic's downhill would have blown the ACLs of mere mortals.
4) America's Erik Schlopy, whose recent fall was given a 2-page spread in SI -- airborne and in mid-fall you can see one ski sheared off clean at the toe piece and shattered at the tail.
And how about boarders who are now running races in speed suits with gates. Think about the Olympic gold medal winner who tested positive for THC. The response -- I didn't smoke; I was just breathing the air in a room where other dudes were lighting up.
Riiiiiiight!

In reply to: mmkay, trying to get acculturated here. what is bashing gates??
Ski racing rules require the racer to weave a line back and forth across a hill, with the path marked by plastic or bamboo poles (aka "gates"). In most race courses, the fastest path will require the skier to be as close to the gates as possible. The skier's feet must be outside of the path marked by the gates, but due to centrifugal force the skier's body often hits the gates. Thus, gate bashing.
Oh yeah, and it can hurt big time -- even with foam padding and plastic armor.
Consider yourself erudite in skiing trivia.

OK, so I have had a few pints of OB Gordon's tonight, while watching the Indiana basketball game, but it's a good thing I read this twice. I could have SWORE that I saw "You people know how to build excrement..."
In reply to: Did anybody else notice that the "latest thing" on Ski's is to do SNOWBOARD TRICKS???
Having been strapped to a pair (that's right... TWO) planks since I was in grade school, I can assure you that we skiiers were pulling 720's, backsides, fakies, and a host of other "snowboard" tricks well before snowboards were ever invented. It's a cycle, and it's only now coming full-circle.
Besides... it's called aSki Area for a reason.

"...dry tooling the inside of the condo..."
...been thinking about that...the key's going to be whether they used metal plates under the mud to shape the sheetrock corners between the bay windows...not much room on either side if they did...I think tools can be accurately placed but I'm guessing that monopoints will have better success unless they use soft pine for the casing trim...

geez, jeff, you've obviously not had much experience with this activity. [i:e1fd63ff4c]first [/i:e1fd63ff4c]off, what you do is eschew vertical frontpoints for horizontal ones; same as climbing steep snow. [i:e1fd63ff4c]then[/i:e1fd63ff4c] you rig yer tools with two adzes and use [i:e1fd63ff4c]them[/i:e1fd63ff4c] instead of the less effective picks.
i'm working on an ice-screw/molly-bolt hybrid for drywall protection, but i'm not prepared to discuss it on an open forum at this time (patent thieves, you know).
now quit beeing such a n00b! :lol:

Geo, eyeballing the distance from trim into the corner and over to trim on the opposite face, I'm guessing three inches per side. The steel corner beads will take up half that, leaving only 1.5 inches for placements....unless you stick your points hard enough to penetrate thin sheet steel. It's good that there's two routes side by side on that two story bay, you and Elvis can settle once and for all who's the king. Looks like speed, accuracy in placement, and raw power will win the day.
Elvis, Geo seems to think he'll be up, down, and finishing a second shot of single malt before you get halfway up. How do you feel about that?
Martha, no worries, I'm not instigating anything, just bummed at how many obstacles stand between me and getting there for this one. Sending out 20 resumes a day, getting maybe two notices of receipt a week, addressed "Dear Applicant", the computer biz in this town is still very soft.
I'm probably going to have to do some construction work for a bit until the market improves. Getting time off then becomes a maybe. Even if I do, I'd have to choose between flying into Durango and driving the stacked switchbacks below Red Mountain Pass or riding some wind-up toy into Montrose with an easier drive.
I'm not signed up for any clinics, and may end up stealth camping up near Camp Bird, and you know the temps will drop to minus 20 if that happens. But damn the torpedos, if I can make it happen it'll happen.
Sandbag, time Geo and Elvis get done, toothpaste isn't going to get it. Float some newspaper over the larger craters, anchored around the edges with smaller dabs of Crest, and the paint will stiffen it long enough for you all to get the hell out of Dodge.
By the way, the narrow seam between the windows seems like it could lead to barndoor swings to one side or the other. If someone needs to flag to maintain balance, is the glass on or off?

Recent mixed climbing trends are to use more rock pro than screws. My questions are:
1) Will screws work OK in the drywall and/or trim, and if so, what length is recommended?
2) Are there any good seams that will take pins?
3) Are the walls pretty blank? If the line may be deemed a future classic, I'd consider slamming in a few bolts. I doubt skibby will mind.

My friend asked me one time if telemark skiing was hard. I just told him if it was easy we would call it snowboarding. :P
I am bringing my tools and monos for the condo dry tooling comp/lasagna dinner on Thursday. :shock:

I doubt that...
Geo's the Enrique Englasias of Colorado... All the women swoon at the sight of his smooth bald head. Something about his ability to unlimber the timber.
P.S. There is an "i" in Liederhosen.

So, let us surmise:
1. Martha has timber.
2. It gets excited when she's around men with flowing back hair.
Ewww.... I might have to skip Ouray after all!

Martha, Im young enough to know better, old enough not to care :wink:
Allors ma cherie, Im not offended in the least, youre too much woman for me, i wouldnt want you to leave the festival on such a low note as to have killed a young man in his prime with so much more to offer.
Besides, im a scrabble dolt so i wouldnt be much fun if left to defending myself with my wit.

ATTENTION:
After reading the above post, I pulled out all stops, made a few phone calls, and cashed in on a few favors.
By Presidential Decree (Dub-ya and I are members of the same fraternity and I covered for him when he was caught in a compromising position with an illegal alien wearing nothing but garters and a smile...He owed me one) the '04 Ouray Ice Festival is being relocated. It'll be held in kcrag's driveway.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (I once drank double 151 and Diet Coke with the Commandant of USCAE, a General Wally Builder, and drove him home before he could get amorous with a biker chick named Beulah... she had a nice tattoo and bad teeth, but could whistle like no other,) will mobilize the day after tomorrow, and will be building a system of pipes, walls, and cooling systems. Their official statement: "We, the USACE, understand that normal traffic routes will be disrupted, and we apologize for the inconvenience, but we're with the government, and we're here to help you." Kcrag, if you'd be kind enough to park on the street, that would help.
All clinics will be held in the driveway, basement, or backyard. Drytooling is allowed, but BYOS (Bring Your Own Spackle) to make repairs as needed. Bob Villa (who I know from a home improvement trade show... He'd got hold of some Kentucky Moonshine, and was trying to give a demonstration on "Self Gratification with a Belt Sander" to a group of nuns from Duluth) will be around to supervise all repairs.
Ogden, Twight, Donini, Lowe, Tackle, et al will be housed in the Boulder Hilton. A far cry from the accomodations they are used to, but they are willing to make the sacrifice. As Mark told me, "Never been to a fancy hotel... can I have the bathrobe?"
I've chartered a Sky Crane helicopter (Geo, can you fly one of these things??) and retained the services of a local demolition crew (a group of guys I knew from my childhood days of lighting Cherry Bomb fireworks and throwing them into the tree houses of the local neighborhood nerds.) They will blow the hell out of the foundation of the condo we've got reserved, then lift it (using steel cable, as webbing isn't strong enough,) and fly it to the parking lot of the Safeway just down the street. This will allow us to stay in the condo, and prevents Skibby from losing her deposit.
If kcrag won't come to the ice fest, the ice fest will come to kcrag.
That is all for now. More details will follow as they become available.

Help me please!
I know I am jumping in real late here but my buddy backed out of coming to Ouray and I cannot go an entire year without any ice. It's bad enough in my vertical wasteland known as Indiana. We normally come later in the month, but I figured it would be easier to meet good partners coming during the ice fest. I think I will be coming early in the week, maybe Monday. Can you help a fellow climber out. I am a firefighter so I am not too bright (running into burning buildings and all), but I am a father so I do play it safe.

What do you need help with, Ron?
Need lodging? Talk to Skibabeage, as she's coordinating the Condo/Townhouse. It's $150 per person from Thursday (Jan 15th) through Sunday (18th) nights. Photos and links are available in the first few pages of this thread. We may or may not have room... talk to Skibabeage.
Need transportation from the airport? I'm leaving from Denver on Thursday (Jan 15th) morning, and would be willing to give ya a ride if you can help share gas costs.
Need gear? Lots of it for rent at numerous Colorado climbing shops. More to demo at Ouray, but supplies might not be enough for everyone, so you're safest to BYOG.
Need a partner? There's going to be lots of people at the festival, and finding a partner shouldn't be a problem if you're outgoing and willing to belay others first.
What, exactly do you need help with?

I'm speaking up...
I don't think I need transportation help. I haven't hammered it all out yet. I am okay with gear. If you have people back out from your condo or whatever...definitely count me in. I live with six other guys at the station...I'm pretty good at cleaning up after myself. And I definitely need partners on the ice.
Thanks for getting back with me.

Well, thats more beer(so far un-named to date) for the rest i guess. Jeesh, I guess we'll have enough booze and food with the beer lasagna and singlemalt to host the after party party.
Geo, rally the troops, whip them into a high pitched furor, and deploy them the ice tools.

Hey Redpoint, if youre flying in see what fares to Granjunction versus Denver run, they may have a commuter link, or some no name bargin brand that flies into the area. Dont worry, they fly the same planes as the bigger carriers, they just dont waste money on touchy feel good commercials and propoganda...

As of roughly September of 2002, you could fly from either Denver or Phoenix to Montrose, Gunnison, or Telluride via puddlejumper. The rates I was given were for airline employees, usually 25 or 50 percent of normal, and ran about $30. There were two or three airlines to choose from. Most reservation call center employees have an open link to Sabre and can tell you all the options when you call, regardless of whether you book a flight or not. I don't think you get the same information online, because each airline only lists their own flights. Note that you are more dependant on weather for these flights than with larger airlines, airports, and aircraft.

Well that settles it then, I guess im completely safe! :D Since Skibby is no longer searching for a stud(Guess we missed our chance Geo...) we'll have to really whooop it up and let it all hang out at the festival so she doesnt feel left out. Bring your microsopes please! ;)
Beer is doing well, ill know in about a week or so what the final disposition is, thus far its smelling pretty darn good, keep the vibes alive!

In reply to: No wonder all I get is sad, sympathetic looks at RC.com gatherings! It's murder to aged feistiness and getting looks of "I wanna spank your bottom and make you whimper 'cause I'm the stud you've been looking for!"
Yeah, like you're really complaining! We all know better, Skibbs. :shock:
In reply to: There goes that fine reputation of "sexy senior citizen" I was trying to build so I could snag me a boy toy!
I'm reminded of Steve Martin in the movie "Roxanne." Something about how older women are better because they "know what they're doing." :wink:
Side note: Bought my ice climbing boots today... and a cool Lowe Alpine jacket. Got a heck of a deal, and couldn't pass up the chance to spend money on climbing gear.
33 Days and counting till the RC.com crew wreaks havoc in Ouray. Hide the women and children!
Well, maybe just the children. :twisted:

if anything, bring a defibrilator in case Skibby gets out of control and hurts someone ;)
And what do we need to bring for the Lasagna Reno? im game to chip in too, will it go well with a high alcohol content beer that you can slice with a knife?
oh yeah, bring some narcan, maybe it works on hangovers, we can do a double blind study on it..... :D

aww, come on skibby. having children doesnt kill your sex appeal, especially when you've got a cute climber for a kiddo. (you can always just lie and say that i'm cute ... this is the internet, they'll never know otherwise, heehee) .. besides, you could always work the MILF angle.

You don't NEED to bring anything. I've got the lasagna covered.
However, if you want anything to accompany the lasagna... like a salad, perhaps, or maybe some wine... then Y.O.Y.O. (You're On Your Own.)
In reply to: oh yeah, bring some narcan, maybe it works on hangovers, we can do a double blind study on it..... :D
Narcan does nothing for a hangover. Now a bag of LR 1/2NS with 100 mg Thiamine, 2g Mag, 50mg CaCl, and 12.5g Dextrose... whole different story.
And Amber's son is a climbing machine... that kid can send!

(beams with pride) thanks, reno!
yeah, i was way stoked when he suggested doing a project related to the composition of rocks and their relative density/hardness for his science fair project. yay, a burly climber kid who's interested in geology. .. what clymbr_mom wouldnt be proud!?!?
and before i get a rep for raising a dorky kid, he also enjoys soccer, dirtbiking, snowboarding, and playing video games.
ps, he wont be attending the ouray festivities. i'd probably have a nervous breakdown trying to find explanations for everyone's antics, haha.

Though I'm planning on leaving the whip and vinyl at home, should things get out of hand there ought to be PLENTY of sharp pointie things, ropes, and harnesses to invoke a little discipline among the ranks....... :wink: Domina "Skibby" Estrogena :roll:
So let it be written so let it be done.........
:wink:

dammit, here we go again. ..
btw, kcrag lives around the block from me. with some assistance, we could probably sneak into her house, tie her up with webbing and throw her in the back of someone's truck.

Flamer...
"Oh and redpoint guy...you are the smart one!!! You're not a paramedic!!(I hope)!!!"
Yeah...I don't know that I am smart but I am most assuredly no paramedic. I can give high quality O2 and associate dex with midnight runners.

In reply to: jeebus. next thing i know tracy (the tall clone) will back out. first my dear friend kcrag, then my sparky big brother who is most excellent at pestering (flamer), and now MOM (skibby)!!! sheesh, i might as well go ahead and stay my butt at home. besides, kcrag just lives a couple of streets over. maybe i can go to the ice fest in her driveway, hehehe.
I fell down a flight of stairs this weekend and still dragged my but outside to climb ice 2 hours later! If I take an axe to the head, I'll still climb ice. I'm now an official ice ho. You guys can thank Geo for that. He got me on some ice up at Linclon Falls yesterday and let's just say that before yesterday I was looking forward to the festival of frozen, drunken men in Ouray. But now it's all about the ice. You bet I'll be there.
ICE ICE BABY!!!!!

Redpointron:
If you want to bring some wine or beer, that'd be fantastic. The lasagna will be of two types: One meat based, with italian sausage and ground beef, and the other will be vegetarian, with onion, olives, artichokes, mushrooms, green peppers, etc. Both will have a tomato based sauce.
You could also consider bringing something for breakfast meals instead. Bagels, fruit, etc. We always seem to forget that stuff.
If you can come across a six-pack of Mad Anthony Brewing Company's Harry Baal's Irish Stout, I'd be ever in your debt.
And see what you can do about IU Basketball, eh? Those dang Hoosiers are going to be the death of me yet...

Hey Reno...I can do...the breakfast, wine, etc. I don't know about the Hoosiers though. I went to the game Saturday and I'm giving up a couple of games to come to Colorado. Are you a Hoosier fan? Wait till next year -- # 1 recruiting class in the country.
Is Mad Anthony's an Indiana Micro Brew? If I can get it, I can fit plenty in the back of my truck.
Alright Geo -- I will choose my words a little more carefully next time. That was some funny stuff.

I've been a Hoosier fan since watching Benson, May, et al win it all and go undefeated. And if you're giving up tickets to games to come to Ouray, that's dedication! You're a better man than I!
Next Year? I've been saying that since we lost to Duke in '91. Though playing Maryland was a total shock, it was also a bit of a fluke. And while the F4 was in Atlanta that year, and I was living in Atlanta, I couldn't attend the game, as I had to work (had called out sick for the Semi-final against Oklahoma, and couldn't call out again without a doctor's excuse.)
Next Year... Kinda like the Cubs.
We're gonna get killed by Kentucky this Saturday. Again. *sigh*

Yep... click here: http://www.madbrew.com/ontap.html
Not sure if they sell retail or only supply to resturaunts. Don't worry too much, though. We've got some killer brews here in Colorado.

Back to ice climbing: Hey Tracy, Geo, Hows the ice doing up at the Traffic jam, I mean Lincoln Falls?
The Beer is coming along nicely, and will be racked in a week or so, then tested for lethality, and overall quality.
Im sure they have a grocery store up that a way so ill put together some stuff for a dessert thingy, any food allergies should be expressed so i dont get sued by your grieving families.

It was a vertical icy battlefield up there. Lots of traffic. As far as the ice, since it was my first time out I have no expert opinion to offer. But I thought it was pretty damn good. Lots of dinner plates on the last route we did though. Not sure if it was my gumby technique or the ice. An awesome day indeed!

Since lots of people have been asking "What can I bring?" I've taken it upon myself to create a list of stuff. Y'all sign up for what you will bring (the "??"s are where we need people to sign up!), and let's hope this is enough... Opinions/Feedback welcome.
Thursday Dinner
-- Lasagna: Reno
-- Salad: Skibby (I'm volunteering her to make a kicking Italian Salad... she's Italian, after all!)
-- Wine: Redpointron - 2 bottles red, Amber_chk - 1 bottle red, alpinerocket - 2 bottles white, and ?? (I'm ballparking this at 16 people, two glasses each = 32 glasses. At 4 glasses/bottle, we need 8 bottles total, perhaps 4 red and 4 white?)
Friday Breakfast
-- Bagels: ??
-- Fresh Fruit: ??
-- Coffee: Geo
Friday Lunch: Y.O.Y.O. (You're on your own!)
Friday Dinner: Scheduled dinner (Trango and Mountain Gear sponsor an all you can eat and drink fundraiser. Food from local restaurants and beer from New Belgium Brewery. Cost is $10 dollars per person.) Either that, or Y.O.Y.O.
Saturday Breakfast
-- Pancakes: Geo (I'm volunteering him, cause he makes the best damn pancakes anywhere, ever!)
-- Eggs: Tracyroach :P
-- Coffee: Geo
-- Orange Juice: ??
Saturday Lunch: Y.O.Y.O.
Saturday Dinner: Scheduled dinner (Ouray Volunteer Firedepartment Fundraiser Dinner and Live Auction Fashion Show) or WHAT ELSE????
Sunday Breakfast:
-- ???????????????
Sunday Lunch: Y.O.Y.O.
Sunday Dinner: Skibby's Surprise (Be afraid... be very afraid.)
Beer: Sandbag (if his home brew turns out to be of acceptable quality,) Reno, Redpointron, ??????

oh, yeah ... i almost forgot: the guy called from the warehouse. he said they're struggling to fill our order for AA batteries, but will most likely be able to find the second truckload in time. also, with the 55-gallon drum of astroglide, do we want the [i:8755aa76af]regular[/i:8755aa76af] or the [i:8755aa76af]extra long [/i:8755aa76af]"get-to-those-hard-to-reach-places" applicators?
let me know ... he's calling back in 20 minutes (he's checking on the 4 dozen cases of extra large, extra wide condoms and the crunchy m&m's).

GEO: You want breakfast?
Sharpie: I think I'm entitled to it.
GEO: You want breakfast?
Sharpie: I want the pancakes!
GEO: You can't handle the pancakes! Son, we live in a world that has griddles. And those griddles have to be controlled and managed by men with baldheads and peculiar moustaches. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Flamer, Tracyroach? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for panckaes and you curse the men who make them. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that waking everyone to the sound of grinding coffee beans at 4AM, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, feeds people...You don't want the cakes. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at rc.com gatherings, you want me on that griddle. You need me on that griddle.
We use words like waffle, French toast, Streusel...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent cooking something. You use'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very brakfast I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a spatula and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
Sharpie: DID YOU MAKE THE PANCAKES?
GEO: I did the job you sent me to do.
Sharpie: DID YOU MAKE THE PANCAKES?
GEO: YOU”RE GODDAMN RIGHT I MADE THE PANCAKES!!!

I would have to agree that you've set the bar high, way high. That was the most amazing post i've read in my first week and the second funniest thing you've posted today (the dry tool thing still takes the blue ribbon).
I will bring 2 bottles of red. Dry.

Agreed... hence my suggestion to get both reds and whites. That way people can drink what they like, regardless of the color.

as for the dinner, i probably wont make it until friday at best. after page 23, there's no way in hell that i'm bringing my son and wont be able to catch a flight for him until thursday pm.
redpointron - just wait until you meet geo. he's infinitely funnier in real life than he is on the web.

But like he says "Youre not gay if youre on top." :shock: Im sleeping upstairs, in the corner, back to the wall, ice tools at the ready.:) I may have time to make a second batch of beer if this one turns out the way i think it will. woohoo!

In reply to: Reno, EXCELLENT job organizing the food!
Thanks, skibbs... Anything I can do to help!
In reply to: Italian Stallion salad it is for Thursday night!
Um, skibbs? I love ya and all, but I really don't need to know about your exploits in the bedroom with a head of lettuce and some guy named Vinnie.
In reply to: Also, if tracy's bringing the eggs, Reno and Geo are bringing the sausage.
That's right... Cocktail Weiners for everyone (well, the ladies, anyway... the men are SOL.) Don't fight... there's plenty to share. Take a number and stand in line. All will be served in due time.
Now serving Number 17.

Yep... with a panel interview, too.
Alpinerocket, I've got you down for two bottles of white wine (chardonnay would be great, and while I don't care for really cheap wine, don't spend more than $8-10 a bottle or so.

Seriously, I think I am coming through the Denver area late friday the 9th on my way out and will be heading back the 19th (I can't ski) Is anyone going to be in and would you be willing to let me crash?

In reply to: In reply to: I need an adventure... How about a drive up to the top of Red Mountain Pass, don some A/T gear and hightail it up one of those steep summits (conditions permitting, of course!). Car to car, alpine style, figure about a 30-hour non-stop trip? Or maybe a winter summit of Sneffels? You wanted an adventure, flames! :P
No problem! Except I don't ski....how about snow shoes and we do it more like 12 hours?
That's exactly the kind'a adventure I'm talking about....
Oh and who ever made up this "Alpha male pissing contest" Thing is dead wrong.
I know Geo's a stud....That's why I want to do this stuff WITH HIM!!!
Always good to hang it out with someone who know's what hanging it out means...

In reply to: Always good to hang it out with someone who know's what hanging it out means...
Last time I did that was Mardi Gras, '01. Didn't get many beads, for some reason.
Time before that, I was in Cleveland for the annual convention of Federation Union de Climbers en Medicinas (or, as we call it, FUC 'EM), a French-based international group of paramedics, nurses, and physicians involved with rock climbing, rescue, and the like. I was putting the moves on this little number from Bosnia, and she was swooning like so many palm trees under the force of a hurricane. I unleashed the beast just as the police were arriving, and got carted off to jail. Spent 8 hours playing blackjack with a 320 pound fella named Tiny, who had an affinity for smooth jazz, creme brulee, and was the victim of circumstances but most assuredly not guilty (or so he said, and I wasn't about to argue.)
I'll leave the "hanging out" to you other fellows, and I'll happily slog my way up the driveway, if someone will get the belay, please.

Well, Id say by the tone of that vituperative vitriolic vociferous prognostication, that you feel as if Shorty knows something specific to you thats true. That would seem to me that you two must have shared tent space or some other form of candid engagement. Its settled. Geo and Shorty get to share a room.

okay, now .. where [i:989515aa44]was[/i:989515aa44] i? oh, [i:989515aa44]yeah[/i:989515aa44]!
you are the living, breathing embodiment of suck. your level of suck is of biblical proportions; in fact you are the alpha and the omega of suck.
if jerry lewis had an annual memorial day suckathon, you would be the poster-boy.
that "giant sucking sound" south of the border that bush (the elder, not that retard we have now) administration officials spoke about almost ten years ago was actually [i:989515aa44]you[/i:989515aa44] during a visit to el potrero chico.

Ive got a rather interesting question on the release that the Ouray ice park forwarded:
Model Release
______8. I understand that my participation in the Activity may be photographed and promoted by the Festival, OIPI, OIF, and or the entity or person conducting the Seminar, and in consideration for permission to participate in the Activity, I hereby give permission to the Released Parties to use my likeness for any purpose whatsoever.
Um no? ...Any purpose whatsoever???? i dont F***ing think so.... Im not letting them "use" my image for just anything, i have my pride you know..... :evil:

pshaw, why pay $10 for a poster when you can get an inflatable sheep for only $24.95??

note, for serious enthusiasts, you can get them cheaper, you just have to know where to look. ;)

Back to ice climbing:
this is sad to admit, but tonight, in the privacy of my own garage,
I started doing pull ups hanging in my ice tools.....
i need to get on the ice soon or i might tear my house down.....
On a lighter note, the beer smells fantastic as its burping the air lock...

To find out how it works, hit the 'quote' button on that person's post in the thread - the upper right hand button next to 'reply' in this little box, for example. You'll see the context very clearly and be able to modify it however you'd like before you post your thought.

But realistically, this is a side view of Wolfie with his adam's apple clearly visible. It may not be the same as the bare back shot which originally caused Geo so much gender confusion.
But then again, Geo spent a lot of quality time with other marines.

Ron:
At the start of the part you want to quote, there needs to be the following line of code: = wrote: And at the end, there needs to be this line of code: [ / quote ] Both without the spaces I inserted. Does that make sense? So, if I'm quoting Geo who said (in a previous post) "I love tracy's sheep-dog..." then I'd type the first line of code and put "mtngeo" in: = wrote: I love Tracy's Sheep-dog..." [ / quote ]

reno, redpointron and elvislegs --
it's no secret that i've forever carried a torch for tracy's sheepdog thing. her name is torrey, by the way, and not only does she have big, blue eyes to die for, but [i:f2d0116542]ten nipples [/i:f2d0116542]to boot! she rolls over and pees herself when she sees me, and ... [i:f2d0116542]comes[/i:f2d0116542] when i call her. :roll:
okay, so she has a bit of a waddle when she walks and a bit of a wide behind, but hey -- what guy doesn't secretly like a little "junk in the trunk", right? don't [i:f2d0116542]make [/i:f2d0116542]me sing sir mix-alot!
please refrain from dragging my girl into your sick little diatribe. it's obvious you're all jealous. find yer own b*tches! :lol:
oh, and, taualum23 ... my original line is "as long as you're on top you're not gay", but feel free to customize it to suit your needs. :wink:

You had to push the buttons... didn't you?
How bout this -- tonight you set 3 alarm clocks. One at 1 a.m., one at 3 a.m. and one at 5 a.m. When the first one goes off -- get up, go outside in the cold run a lap or two around the house and try to get back to sleep. Until the next one goes off. Maybe try giving mouth to mouth to a neigbor next time. At five, put on your coat, maybe your dana backback (filled with trad gear) and hose down the grill. Tell me how you feel the next day. And that's an uneventful night.

Don't need the alarms...got a four month old and a three year old doing it for me...haven't had more than four continuous hours sleep in more than three years! Well, maybe except for the night I spent in Leadville at Geo's, I may have squeaked 4.5 hrs outta that one, but I've got to say, it was a refreshing change of pace to be beat over the head with a pillow at 3am by a woman other than my wife…
And yep, had to push the button…just to see you guys squirm…
Really….I’m joking though, got nothin’ but R-E-S-P-E-C-T for you fools…
Hey Josh, when you gonna let me bring my boy down to the station for the Grand Tour?

I've forwarded this to the Mrs. Sharpie. No need to thank me. That's what I'm here for. ;)
So... Gonna be looking for a roommate soon? :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'm going to get on some ice this weekend, come hell or high water. Even if it means stabbing my axe into the frost inside my freezer, wearing my harness and tied into the cabinet doors...

Flamer: In reply to: Until the next one goes off. Maybe try giving mouth to mouth to a neigbor next time.
I've tried this, and just a quick FYI; if you do, you won't need the third alarm, they wake you at seven thirty at the county lock-up.

In reply to: In reply to: You had to push the buttons... didn't you? How bout this -- tonight you set 3 alarm clocks. One at 1 a.m., one at 3 a.m. and one at 5 a.m. When the first one goes off -- get up, go outside in the cold run a lap or two around the house and try to get back to sleep. Until the next one goes off. Maybe try giving mouth to mouth to a neigbor next time. At five, put on your coat, maybe your dana backback (filled with trad gear) and hose down the grill. Tell me how you feel the next day. And that's an uneventful night. r.r.

Caveat emptor -- upon returning from her "driving the porcelain bus" episode next door, Tracy proceeding to beat the living bejesus out of those whose sleeping bags were nearby. My nose barely withstood the multiple pillow floggings; it would not be a pretty sight next month if she wails on anybody with ice tools.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Don't forget the power of sandbag's beer. hehe Time for a quick history review. Last time we mixed Ms. Roach, an overnight gathering, and alcohol, the neighbor's lawn was "decorated" with partially digested soy jerky nuggets soaked in multiple forms of ethanol. Rumor has it that Geo spent a good portion of the summer attempting to repair damage to both the lawn and neighborhood relations.

Well, the good thing is Shes sleeping in a location far far away from us, the next thing is that this facility has 3 commodes so if she ties up one, we dont have to use the pee bottles, And Finally, who knows, the 3 dimensional technicolor yarf fountain may get us rave reviews from the winter outdoor decorating comittee or something :D

Jim:
You're quite right about the thread and scaring off of the newbies, but that's how we seperate the men from the sheep-dog things... :lol:
Looking forward to meeting you and the others as well. If you're going to be in Ouray on Thursday, we're having a lasagna feast. You're welcome to drop in for a bite and a brew, but we ask that you bring something to contribute to the feast... garlic bread, wine, appetizers, etc.
See you then!

you needn't be scared. but the truth is, once you've run with the wild bunch, everything else will seem like just another boring tea and cookie party.

we look forward to meeting you. oh, and i might suggest you not eat any solids in the 12 hours prior to the ceremony. clear liquids, such as chicken broth, are okay.

We may very well be able to hijack the entire OUray Ice festival if we keep this up. We'll need to make a name for it, then we shall own the Ice festival. Keep up the good work. Thanks Geo, i just spit mountain dew on my new monitor....youll pay for that one mister.... :shock:

See my previous post re: KCrag Driveway Ice Park 2004 -- The Inaugural Season.
You're just NOW talking about hijacking the festival? Good god, man. It's already underway. The pipes and cooling system parts are enroute via UPS. Geo's been hitting the flight sims to refresh his skills at flying a Sky Crane. I've made reservations at the Hilton for all the pro climbers (Skibby, I gave them your Visa card number... you don't mind, do you?)
What we need: A perimeter security force.
I've rounded up every homeless... er, Domestically Challenged.. person in Denver that was holding a sign saying "Homeless Vet, Please Help." (How, exactly, an animal doctor is going to help is beyond me. And don't those animal doctors make decent money? If so, why don't they have a house? Or at least a studio apartment. Anyway... )
My plan is to give them all guns and let them stand guard at the gates. Still leaves us short on the roving security squad, though. I know a few folks who currently work mall security, and will be needing a new job after the holidays, so that might work.
If you wish to do your part to help the hijacking of the Ice Fest run smoothly, I suggest you motor on down to your local gun shop, purchase every semi-automatic weapon you can find, a few conversion kits so we can make them full-auto, and bring them by the compound. Talk to Guido, the Chief of Security.
And pick up some more ammo.
That is all for now. More to follow.

PERFECT!!!!!!!!
I have a copy of the Modified Munitions handbook, and used to be a volunteer NRA(no, not a member, just a volunteer) pistol instructor and IPSC and silohuette shooter. We'll have them domestically challenged Vets shaped up in no time.
Looks like the beer is about done, primary fermentation seems to be slowing, ill plan on racking and tasting or kegging this week.
If it turns out ok, ill save some(burp) for the Seftival

Ok, this is getting seriously weird....even by my standards.....
I'm going to go to the ice fest, I'm going to climb, drink beer, chase women(well if there are any, present company excluded), and raise money for a sleepy little town in the mountains.
That's pretty much it....

In reply to: in the frozen back of the Sheriff's Jeep to snag the Taser for nothing!
So that's what you call it? I've always referred to it as "Playing Hide the Salami..."
"Snag the Taser", eh? As in: "Careful, I've got a loaded Taser!" or "Ma'am, you don't want me to shock you with my powerful Taser, do you?" ;)
Nice euphamism, Skibbs. :wink:

In reply to: "HANG ON, GOOSE, WE'RE GOING VERTICAL!"
Is that anything like "Sit down, strap in, shut up, and hold on!" ???
Methinks Skibby is gonna kick our backsides when she sees us in Ouray. We might be better off bivying on a portaledge on the ice.

I guess they haven't put the one I posted for Geo up yet...you'll know it...It's affectionately named "drytooling in the shed". I thought that was better than "dreaming of geo". Keep an eye out for it -- should be on line soon.

At 0530, I had been on the road for 30 minutes already. I tell ya, living "Metro" sucks at times. Too far away from the real fun.
If you don't know what "Metro" means, ask Flamer! (Sorry, buddy... couldn't resist!)
Gotta tell ya folks, this Ice Climbing thing is PHAT TRIPPIN, YO! Totally freaking wild.
Geo took me out to Lincoln Falls, and we had a grand ol' time. I have to give my bald buddy a man-hug and say "Thanks, Geo!" for being patient enought to heft my sorry, skinny, front-range free climbing freaky form up the ice. I suck, and I know it, but it was fun. Geo's patience and tutelage got me through. Mad Props, Mr. Potato Head Guy!
I'm tired, sore, sweaty, and smelly. And very, very happy.
Going to surf the web for ice tool deals... any suggesitons?

Great....
In reply to: sorry, punk, i'm gonna' have to disagree. for alpine climbing i would suggest something like the charlet moser pulsar. it has just enough of a bent handle to keep you from bashing yer knuckles, a good swing weight, and is built like a truck. i don't like bent shaft tools for alpine because they're difficult to plunge shaft-first into the snow for approaches/walk-offs, and they're pretty much impossible to use for self-arrest. you're not gonna' pick up any hot chicks driving the pulsars, that's for sure; the design is over ten years old. but it's a proven tool for alpine routes.
I bought a pair of these recently, and have swung on them, but now im just a old tooled dork, no hot ice babes to chase me around. I better make a fortified beer with which to ply the wares of yonder ice babes....

Probably a wise idea, considering how many of us guys with "Solid Steel and Sex Appeal" there will be at the RC.com Ouray House.
Give her a taste of Flamer and his ability to handle a "charged hose", me and my in-depth knowledge of anatomy, Geo and his "swinging tools", and alpinerocket's ability to combine all three of these, and she'd never come home again. :)

Ron:
When you hang out with the Colorado Contingent during such large scale events, the actual time spent climbing is reduced. There is an actual mathematical formula to calculate in advance how much climbing you will do, but until you learn the secret initiation handshake, we can't tell you the formula. It's written on ancient papyrus, locked in a Wizard's Chest, and guarded by a terrible three-headed Sheep-Dog thing. Only one who's spirit is corrupted will pass such a trial.
What usually happens is that the climbs take on a life of their own, and become rather like fishing stories: "Oh, man... when I was hanging with my Colorado climbing buddies, we sent this WICKED gnarly 3 pitch MI 8+/5.12d/x overhanging route, and in true Colorado style, we only placed three pieces of gear. I took a mighty 40 foot whipper on a skanky #3HB off-set I'd wedged into a flaring parallel seam, but it held, thankfully, and I sent the route next attempt. I called it 'Easy Skankin.'"
Oh, and we drink lots of beer during this whole process.
You'll see what I mean in a few weeks.

I don't know....
I am still a little nervous about this Colorado Contingent. I am afraid that I am going to return to Indiana looking like Steve Bartman after the 6th game of the NLCS. Dazed and confused and considering a witness relocation program.

This is my first post in this thread. I was keeping quiet becasue I did not know if I was going to be in CO during his time. For those of you who have not heard, I have a job! GASP! :shock:
But luckily, I won't be traveling in Asia, and I will be able to attend the fest. I will be meeting up with a friend from Minnesota, and we have a place to stay. I definitley plan on dropping in hanging with the CO crowd. I'll see you there!
Fran

francesca --
glad to hear you make the commitment! and, about the job ... it's okay, you don't have to be embarassed; there are 12-step programs to help you out. besides, a job carries with it connotations of responsibility; and, after all, we're going to need a) the adult leadership, and b) the financial means by which to remunerate the owner of the condo for the damages. :wink:

In reply to: Uh, Geo, did Fran ever go through the initiation, or are we going to waive it for her? She IS, after all, a rider/boarder/soon to be three-pinner......
While I'm not part of the Geritol Popping, Depends Wearing, Social-Security Earning Tribal Council Elders like Geo and Skibby (hey Skibbs? Is it true you have a rear-view mirror on your ice axe so you can see all the people coming up to pass ya? I've seen Geo's crampon-enhanced wheelchair, so I know that's not a rumor!), I vote that Fran gets a grandfather waiver.
I'll let her snowboard riding status slide (I'm a "Two Planker" myself,) but that chick can crank on some serious rock. She's far better than I am, and I can not, in good faith, require the initiation ceremony performed on anyone that can kick my butt all the way up Redgarden Wall.
Ice Festival Hijacking Update:
The water pipes have been installed at kcrag's, and once this warm front moves out of the Denver metro area, we shall begin to form up the ice. Geo, how ya doing on the flight sims with the Sky Crane? I've got next weekend off, so you and I can go get the condo from Ouray and bring it back to Denver. I'll bring the thermos of coffee and a recent Playboy. You bring the flight maps and the GPS.
That is all.

these days i look at centerfolds who could be my [i:b77a34f1e6]daughter[/i:b77a34f1e6] and ask, "i wonder if her [i:b77a34f1e6]parents[/i:b77a34f1e6] know she's doing that?" :roll:

Jesus, talk about going limp like wet spaghetti on the cold refrigerator floor...dude, youre railroading this event into the lame zone. Buck up Marine, you got work to do! Theres points to sharpen, picks to grind, tips to lubricate and thats all before we even get the crampons and ice tools fired up. The beer is racked. taste test results shortly.

In reply to: Hokey, dokey. I just got back from the doctor because I've torn a bunch of ligaments in the middle finger of my right hand (don't ask, but no I wasn't Greek wrestling with myself! :wink: ). Sooooo, I'm still going to the festival, but I've got a 4-5 week recuperation with my finger in a splint. It's great fun showing it to people, BTW. Appointment with the hand doctor on the 9th, but climbing anything other than into another glass of wine might be out of the question. s---. Pity party starts below.
I surely hope this wasnt due to Geos pre festival check up and DRE. He does fit the the age profile, but i think its safe to say hes in tip top shape.
Next time be more careful when probing.
:shock:

Sorry about the finger, Skibby BUT if you like it red and dry...I got your back (but NOT like Geo seemingly does, though -- fecal impaction, that's nasty).
I'm crossing MY fingers yours is okay on the 9th.
Did you get my check yet?

Any one that needs lube to "do-it-yossef" Is an amateur!!!
Or they don't have the social "skills" to recruit partners....

Its official, the 2004 Ouray Ice Festival Porter has been finished, its racked, and man this stuff is so smoooooooooth there isnt enough ooooooooo's to describe it. packs a hefty buzz too. think guiness but not as bitter or smoky, more chocolate tones and oh good god i hope i can prevent myself from drinking all of it before the festival. Ill have to make more......
Merry Christmas, funny, the beer was born on Christmas, start getting the names ready, if i survive the first tasting and live, this will be a beer to talk about for ages. wooohooo!

True enough, Ron.
Our idea of a wild night involves Scrabble, a mug of hot chocolate, and PBS. One night in Estes, we really let our hair down (well, except Geo,) and we played Anne Murray on the turntable while drinking cappucino. It was a wild night, and we've got pictures to prove it.
We're probably far too tame for the Missus Redpointron.

OK, this is getting abso-freaking-lutely ridiculous...
First, kcrag bails.
Then amber_chk.
This is going to be one big sausage fest, with Skibby as the only Ambassador of Estrogen, and she won't be able to climb or wield her whip, cause she hurt her finger trying to clean out Geo's colon... (or something like that.)
The heck with it... I'm gonna stay in Denver and go climbing at the gym. At least there will be hot chicks there.

Wait. What am I saying? Have I gone mad?
OK, Amber... have fun in Moab and Vegas.
Just remember the REAL men... those bastions of masculinity... the very embodiment of "Solid Steel and Sex Appeal"... the men who know how to swing their tools... will be in Ouray.

Sweet Jeebus....smooth Porter home brew AND a giant mass of REAL hardmen all in one place with no ladies to keep them company? Okay, it's getting harder and harder to say no to coming out there. Still looking for a plane ticket under $150, that's my crux right now.

Where are you looking at flying in to? I have been checking all over. It seems that Grand Junction is the best option, but I don't know the best way to get down to Ouray. Give a look at Grand Junction.

Well, I just got back to the land of internet access, and found this 500+ post thread about another insano Colorado gathering.
:D :D :D
Unfortunately, a lack of planning/transportation/money means it's another gathering I won't be able to make it to.
:( :( :(
Which is really too bad, cause I just met somebody who can get me almost any tequila I want for $20.
I now am $40 poorer and own a bottle of Patron Anejo and a bottle of Herradura Anejo.
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Well, maybe I'll save some for the next gathering...

jeesus, people ... i go off for two days of icy, frozen fun and come back to what appears to be a future 12-step program! sheesh!
by the way ... 25 below yesterday; 27 below today; and i'm headed out once again at 0200 for a climb in expected lows of 25-35 below zero.

Attention amber-chk kcrag and any other ladies viewing this thread: Look into my eyes.... you are feeling sleeeeepy... sleeeeeepy...sleeeeeeeeeeeeepy...sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppp
...
...
Now... when I clap my hands you will awaken with renewed vigor to climb ICE. NOT sandstone cracks, or any other form of warmer fun. You will have a deep thirst for homebrewed Porter. You will crave the resonating THUNK of tools in good ice, you will have a strange urge to see men climbing condo walls wearing Hawaian shirts. You will be unexplicably, and profoundly, attracted to bald heads, handle bar mustaches, patagonia fleece, firemen, filthy jokes, and beer belching..... (pay me later fellas). You will find a way to come to Ouray.... no matter whaaaaaatt....
*clap-clap*
All the ladies I know won't come with me for one reason or another.

In reply to: jeesus, people ... i go off for two days of icy, frozen fun and come back to what appears to be a future 12-step program! sheesh! by the way ... 25 below yesterday; 27 below today; and i'm headed out once again at 0200 for a climb in expected lows of 25-35 below zero. http://www.iceclimb.com/...es/grantfull_ice.jpg if anyone finds my doo-dads, please mail them to me. :wink:
Nice Geo, thats pretty sweet. I love the fact that the dead climiber in the foreground doesnt even phase the expedition on this route. You rock!
And are you bringing beer too Elvis? Hot damn man, itll be a home brew shoot out. Im Brewing a bitter right now and it should be done just in time after the racking for the festival.
This will be fun, regardless if the Frauleine Contingent decides to pack it up and wither away to warmer and wimpier Conditions, Save Skibby, shes hard core, and makes a killer turkey tetrazinni.
Reno you have the Lasagna, I have the Beer, Ron is getting Cubans, Geo has the Bawdy, and Domina Estrogen has the whips. Were all set. The Ice festival will beg us back year after year once we set this new standard.
Upward onward and woohooo!

In reply to: In reply to: welp, i have an invite to moab and to vegas that weekend, so i might not make it after all. OK, this is getting abso-freaking-lutely ridiculous... First, kcrag bails. Then amber_chk. This is going to be one big sausage fest, with Skibby as the only Ambassador of Estrogen, and she won't be able to climb or wield her whip, cause she hurt her finger trying to clean out Geo's colon... (or something like that.) The heck with it... I'm gonna stay in Denver and go climbing at the gym. At least there will be hot chicks there. . . . . . . . . . . . Wait. What am I saying? Have I gone mad? OK, Amber... have fun in Moab and Vegas. Just remember the REAL men... those bastions of masculinity... the very embodiment of "Solid Steel and Sex Appeal"... the men who know how to swing their tools... will be in Ouray.
HEY!!! I'll be there. With or without my ovaries and estrogen!
None of you are going to get that but Geo.

In reply to: You will crave the resonating THUNK of tools in good ice, you will have a strange urge to see men climbing condo walls wearing Hawaian shirts. You will be unexplicably, and profoundly, attracted to bald heads, handle bar mustaches, patagonia fleece, firemen, filthy jokes, and beer belching.....
fleece...got it, fireman...got it, filthy jokes (some Marine ones, too -- for Geo)....can do, cigars...no problemo. somebody bring me up to speed on the Hawaiian shirt thing.

okay, my attention has been officially recaptured. maybe i'll stop by for the lua, haha. flamer, good buddy - extra beer for you if you can hook the little sister up with an ultra-hot ice-climbing fireguy. (medium hot will work, but ultra hot is definitely preferred.)

In reply to: Mmmmm-kay. Here's a check for supplies, since I'm not certain what the condo will provide, other than beds, heat, and towels. I'm bringing a coffee grinder, TWO POUNDS of coffee (thanks to just_me!) and a CD player. Anyone care to bring a DVD player, in case we're home long enough to actually watch a movie or pretend to care about Paris Hilton's sex video! :roll:
Pretend????? Hell, I thought we were planning a full blown( ;)) re-enactment and an after party too. whats the head count so we know where who will sleep and who will not sleep?

Hey Geo,
What you plan on doing the morning of the 15th?
Pancakes and single malt sound like a good post ice climb brunch. YOu make the cakes ill bring the Single malt, maybe a really good one to match the event in Ouray.

In reply to: In reply to: I now am $40 poorer and own a bottle of Patron Anejo and a bottle of Herradura Anejo. Nate, dooooood: I've got space in my Jeep. Bring the Patron, and I'll cover the cost of gas. :D
Well, it looks like I have a ride, and I can scrounge up some money.
Is there any room in the condo still?
Also, will an ice climbing virgin like myself be able to find people to climb with (and easy places to climb)? Or will everybody be too drunk/hungover to actually climb? :P

Skibby: Do you HONESTLY think you'll need both hands? Just a guess, but I'd bet one hand would suffice. Heck, you'd probably have enough room to hold a mug of coffee as well.

Now wait just one gol' durn cotton picking second here...
The line for the Sheep-Dog thing begins with Geo. The line for Mistress Skibby, Domina Estrogena, starts with Geo. And now he's got an exclusive with tracyroach?
What are the rest of us manly men to do??
Sandbag, we're gonna need more beer. LOTS more beer.
Lots.
P.S. Geo, what's your secret? Is it the bald head? Is it the moustache? Is it your burly physique? Something else? Inquiring minds want to know.

Ron,
Ill be trundling up to Ouray after i get out of work weds night, and prolly sleeping in the back of the 4 runner, ill have to figure that out, i cant let the beer freeze, so it should be interesting. Ill be ready to go that am, ill see if i cant recon the condo and get the keys to go in and make sure its all up to snuff for when Mistress Domina Estrogena arrives. ;)
Reno,
Ill have 2@ 5 gallon kegs, i may be able to get one more batch fired up if i get a second fermenter and get moving. the only caveat is the bev kegs are hard to come by so ill see what i can do to accopmodate the more beer, lots of beer. Were talking finely crafted works of art, Ask trad_kelly.
Next time ill have a mead, for lets say the summer event or the fall.
What else do we need for the lasagna magnifica?
Geo,
read above. Ill be in town early am, but looks like youre tied up till later. Ill probably bomb over to the ice park and see whats up. I may actually drive up there this weekend to get the scoput recon of our AOO for operation Dry tool. If youre avail to do any climbing, ill try to follow along, otherwise may just take it easy and slog around in the snow shoes.

Hey everyone, is the skiing idea still a go for Monday? Anyone want to make turns? If so is there anyone I can throw some gas money at to get me back to Denver by late that evening? Or am I pushing the time limits a little bit there?
Let me know. Thanks -Sean

Yo, bro...
Did you get down to the Glendale fire the other day? I looked around for ya, but didn't see you. Big fire scene, though...
What route you take? I'm not sure which would be best for me: 70W to 50 to 550 (Interstate a large portion of the way,) or 285 to 24 to 50 to 550 (more direct routing.)
One more thing: Did you see a whip or ice axe through the steamed windows? :shock:

Christmas Eve was winding down; my oldest son (3 1/2 years old) had worn himself completely out with eager anticipation of the next morning’s booty and could barley muster the energy to lay out the cookies and milk for the evening's later visitor. It was then watching him in these moments that I decided my boy was finally of age to learn the true story of the jolly old man from the land of snow.
I walked him up to his bedroom, tucked him in tight, laid down beside him, and began “…A jollier soul never have you met, he wears a suit made of red and likes to get bent…”
The next morning, to my surprise, my son would not come out of his room. I went in to check on him, and he was wide awake huddled in a corner with his security “blankies” like a pile of forgotten laundry. The shear look of terror in his eye was unworthy of a child so young, his skin was white, and he appeared to be in a cold sweat.
Christmas came and went, and in the days since he’s has passed the time in an uninterrupted and utter state of trepidation and worry. He is wetting the bed at night, and refuses to eat.
I know many of my fellow RC.comers out there also have young children, and I only relate this story to you as a warning…The next time the Holidays are upon us, you may think little Johnny or Susie is ready for the story…but don’t be too sure. For the story of Geo Claws can never be rescinded or dispelled once it has been told….

LOL... Geo Claws? Now THAT'S funny.
Hey, Geo... mebbe you can get Raoula to be your "Missus Claws."
On a food/snack note, I'll be bringing a big ol' bag full of Mommareno's home made Chex Mix. This stuff is on par with manna from above. 14 days... two long weeks.
This is going to be fun. And remember the motto:
"What happens in Ouray, Stays in Ouray... unless it was really funny, in which case you are permitted -- Nay, required -- to post the pictures for all to see."

Well, after a careful finance audit, I have discovered that I won't have enough money to attend the IceFest or the gathering. :(
I'll save some tequila for the next gathering, I promise.. ;)

In reply to: In reply to: Skibby- Do you have directions to Camp Debauchery...and, when is the earliest possible time of arrival? Camp De-Botch location PMs are on their way. Check-in is traditionally 4 PM, and I'm leaving WP around 8 AM for that full 7-hour drive experience. Hopefully I'll be there by 2 or 3 and we can get an earlier checkin.
Please dont forget those of us that are just attending the dinners. Thanks, John

In reply to: I just realized I'm the only woman in the condo. WOW, that's the kind of stuff most women just DREAM of!
In the interest of maintaining an orderly festival, I suggest the men line up in alphabetical order by name to spend quality time with Skibbs. It's not quantity, it's quality. That's what counts the most. Or so I've been told.
My true name is Aaron Adams.... The line starts here. :D
Skibby, hang on to the extra dinero, and get it back to me in Ouray.

Well, the second and third batches of Beer are brewing along nicely, and the climbing gear has been tried tested and evaluated, so lets get to OUray Already.
Geo thanks for the ski day up at Cooper, freshies always beats the snot out of sloughing seracs and avalanches on the ice. However, your spread eagle demonstrative show of affection(more on this at the festival, and i was uphill so i guess that would count as "on top" so im not gay...) was a rather interesting way to make me feel at home. You do get props for skiing with broken ribs, but im not buying the " i was guiding a client, blah blah blah , and then the rock hit me in the ribs.. blah blah blah.." part one bit. Next time you try to move up from mounting sheeplike animals to horses, be a little bit more careful, them hooves can kill ya! :wink:
I have a small but pertinent and rather poignant question: With Skibby being the lone woman of High and Classy Distinction, where, how and when can us lesser mortals at the end of the line ( real name: Zbigniew Zabrofsky) make do with some of the ice trollops that may wander by our loft accomodations? :shock: This Y chromosome dominated condo is starting to resemble a ship from the columbus Cruises(apologies and condolences to any offended Native Americans and their supporters) and hopefully the showers all work or may smell just about the same. But As Geo put it, " you're not gay if youre on top..." :D
Well, hope the rest of the peeps are ready to get high on the ice, ill be towing the beer along, its really amazing, and looking forward to some of Renos Magnificent Mountain Magic Lasagna.

Oh, it's the waaaaaaambulance
Broken ribs? Call us when you've amputated your own arm with a pocketknife, used it as a ski pole to ski a 45 degree double black with ice moguls, and later sewed it back on with a needle and thread, while sterilizing the needle in 151 Bacardi. THEN we'l be impressed. :wink:

Reminder: Sign up for what food stuff you will bring if you're staying in the cabin (page 24, I think?) Doesn't have to be much, but everyone should bring something to contribute, to keep things fair. Here's a list of things you could bring:
-- Bagels, Fresh Fruit, Oatmeal, cereal/milk, waffles, fruit, bagels, lunch meat, bread, and chips.
-- Chips, dips, snacks are always a hit as well.
As of now, the condo menu is as follows:
Thursday Dinner
-- Lasagna: Reno (one veggie, one meat.)
-- Salad: Skibby (special sauce on the side, thanks!)
-- Wine: Redpointron, Amber_chk, alpinerocket, and Reno.
Saturday Breakfast
-- Pancakes: Geo (You can't handle the pancakes!)
-- Eggs: Tracyroach (he he he...)
-- Coffee: Geo (Got a grinder?)
Sunday Dinner: Skibby's Surprise (Be afraid... be very afraid.)
I bought most of the lasagna makings this morning. The Veggie Version will have: Olives, Mushrooms (no, Skibby... not the Magical kind you remember -- or DON'T remember -- from the 70's,) Green Peppers, Artichokes, Spinach, Sun Dried tomatos, onion, and eggplant. The Mighty Meaty batch will have ground beef, italian sausage, and pepperoni.
Bring your appetite.

I don't really have anything to say here, but I simply CAN NOT let this thread sit on 666 posts. That's just bad mojo, and I feel a certain obligation to do something about it.
By no means am I some self-righteous Bible Tumping, Gospel Preaching, Repent or be Damned type of person. No sir... I'm God's Own Drunk and a fearless man, but why take chances?
Ice Festival Hijacking update
The pipes and hoses are in place at kcrag's place. They're well concealed to blend in with the natural fauna and flora, lest we offend the sensibilities of some pompous Boulderite, but they're in. Thanks to the cold snap that has overwhelmed the Denver metro area (-20 windchill, -4 temp at 0600 today,) we've got plenty of ice. With a little luck, the predicted high of 52 on Friday will NOT happen, and the ice will stay in. I've got first dibs on that natural mixed line that includes a left foot stem to the rain gutter (file those points sharp, folks!) and a mantle on the bay window frame. I think I'll name it "That'sa m-Ouray!" :roll:
Geo and I are flying to Ouray day after tomorrow to go blow up the foundation of the condo and airlift it back here with the sky crane. I had to recruit some new demolition guys, since my old buddies are not available (one is in jail for failure to pay child support; the other met a Brazilian lady and is living in Rio, playing the merengue, and drinking rum collins in a thong.) Luckily, I found a cadre of former Navy UDT guys who will work for beer. Geo, you don't have any problems working with squids, do ya?
I spoke with Bob, the General Manager of the Safeway up the road from kcrag's place, and he's still willing to let everyone camp in the parking lot. He will not, however, agree to my request that he tear up the asphalt to make for softer camp sites, so bring a Therma-Rest. Or two, if you're a wimpy sport climber.
Thank you for your support.

I got two bottles of red wine, one cab and one shiraz, and would be more than happy to contribute a little coin to whomever brings some extra food because the plans have changed....flying into grand junction and taking the bus down to Ouray (space is a premium -- I don't know if the Hawaiian shirt is going to make the trip)

We'll have to commiserate about the long hair nondisciplined topic more at the festival. Over some 18yo single malt most likely.

Sirens: Hey, I drive an ambulance for a living. (The dang thing's even got a stretcher in back, and a bar on the ceiling for "holding on," as it were... with a few feet of webbing, two locking biners, and some thought, we could even rig a trapeeze system.) :twisted:

I just suggeasted you come back to make the final puscht for the OUray Ice festival most proximate to the next few days more fruitful.....
Im racking the 2nd beer, then the third on sun, then kegs and off to ouray.

Cool, we have a quarantine ward to put you and the rest of the sickly folks into for that very purpose. Plenty of Penicillin and Quinine to go around down there.
You can co mingle and share your woes, weeping sores, and decomposing body parts in freedom in the "nasty Zone", we wont even bother you........" it puts the brush in the bucket or it gets the hose again..."

i thought this was all harmless, what's the word, spray... but as the time approaches i am growing increasingly scared. i'm not so sure about drinking anything but water or setting down my axes for fear i might be buggered by a mountain man OR left alone with skibby in the back seat / geriatric ward.

You should be scared. You should be VERY scared. In fact, you should be terrified. But you said you wanted to hang out with the Colorado Contingent. You claimed to be tough enough to hang. You said you could run with the Big Dogs. Well, it's time to Woof or get off the pot.
It is well known amongst climbers that this Mixture of Mountain Mad Men and Maidens can make a group of Hell's Angels look like the crowd at a Placido Domingo concert doped up on Valium. After they made us, they not only broke the mold, but they beat the hell out of the mold-maker, asking "What were you thinking?"
In reply to: i'm pretty sure i won't be gettin' buggered!
All will be served in time by our token female. Take a number and stand in line, bro.

At that point, you might as well go climbing. The time will pass faster than you might think (*math: at 15 seconds each, 123 people... that's about 45 minutes.*) Time enough to cruise up a 90 foot WI4 pitch, knock back a double scotch on the rocks, and get a nap.

Since the food, drink and sex toys are all already covered in the "to bring" checklist....And since Reno has guilted me in to bringing something besides an extra set of picks, my good looks and a winning demeanor...
In reply to: Reminder: everyone should bring something to contribute, to keep things fair.
I talked to Christian Beckwith, the Editor of Alpinist, yesterday and he is going to hook me up with T-shirts at their cost ($5 each) and some other Alpinist schwag (not that we won’t be getting enough of that from all of the manufacturers over the weekend), but hey, It’s cool stuff, and everyone can rest easy knowing that I too am shelling out some dinero for the cause…

anybody need an Ice Park membership for this weekend? good discounts for hotels and restaurants around town. I already have one but can't make it back for the rest of the season, and just thought some poor dirtbagger (like me) could benefit from splitting it with me.
PM/ email for details.
it was so cold out there last weekend!! but nobody ever said you needed to feel your fingertips to belay right?

Do we even want to think about a web cam feed?
we could get RC.COM/Ouray to Sponsor it, (AHEM!!!!!) and then show some scenic shots and generate tourism and good publicity......
OK OK, so its going to be a NC-17 showing, and possible get us into legal snafus with PETA, and the ACLU, and who knows what ever other organizations that will be offended, but dammit, it'll be fun.
Im racking the next to last beer tonight, taste testing and then kegging. Keep fingers crossed, and do a little beer dance for any of you beer snobs out there in the condo, and hangers-on also.....

for those coming to the gallery opening on thursday evening:
I dropped of my work this week, and the gallery is beautiful. It is owned by Jeff and Nichole Skoloda, both climbers. Jeff is on the Ouray Mtn. Rescue crew. Their gallery is on the west side of the street next to a pizza joint on the far north end of town(farthest from the ice).
The gig is 7 p.m. to whenever, then the gallery will be open from 2-8 pm daily during the fest. There is a huge variety of work, from digitally manipulated photography to glass and steel sculpture. I have even heard rumors that there will be ice sculpture work going on live during the opening.
Anyways, I Look forward to meeting those who have sent pm's.
Thanks for your support.
Jer

just remember, i get to be rode, er um, i mean cropped, uh, well, IM FIRST!!!!!!!!!!
Stop on by, we'll be the wildly pulsating den of inequity and debauchery that will be the talk of the town for say a few more festivals if this pans out the way its been building...
then again it may become a good geritol moment and depends commercial too, such a bizarre and acute bifurcation of two realities, much like most things in the world which we exist...im waxing plisophisical, it must beer the beers, all three of them

Well, thats just great. Im sure we have tons of pictures of Geo in compromised positions that would be great to demonstrate the absolute utility value of the OP merchandise, maybe we can shoot a second catalog for the adult crowd too.
just a thought.
Stop on over, we'll have an assortment of various brews and libations and may even ask you to demo dry tooling up the walls of the condo with your fine wares. Upward and onward Hi p Hip Ouray!!!!!!!!!!

i would say that's pretty much a foregone conclusion. especially in light of the photo i just now dreamed up for their catalog.
[size=9:b38bfb1413]let's see ... i'll need 6 biners, 20' of tubular webbing, 1 jumar, an arc welder, a speculum, some cheez-wiz ... and a sheep.[/size:b38bfb1413]

How amusing. I just turned down a job in Antarctica today. No, really. Details available in Ouray. I hear they don't let you outside for fun stuff like that, though... one of the reasons I've passed on two offers there in a row now.
And I'll be there.

Yeah right like you'd be "alone"....paging Mr. Sheriff- You have a SWF in a dominatrix outfit "stranded" on a lonesome highway.
I'll be there Thursday afternoon Planning on harassing you guys at dinner- I might have some friends in tow- including Tim and Erin of 11 mile fame.

Hmmm...
(Reno puts on his thinking cap... which looks rather like a cross between a fedora and a Beanie... and thinks...)
"Would a pic of Geo frontpointing the drywall aound the bay window of the townhome appeal to the fine folks at Omega?"
The condo owners might want a share of the free gear in lieu of damages to their place, but I think that's fair.
I would continue the countdown of days, but we're so close, I'm counting HOURS... 42 from now, and I start driving. 48 from now, and I should be swinging my tools.
Hot damn.

In reply to: Satans' Twin Sister and I are heading out by around 9 AM on Thursday. She's getting her heater box tricked open today, so hopefully I won't have to stop every 30 minutes to thaw my body and scrape the windshield. Just a heads up, though, given the nasty nature of this motorized beast, I'm taking CR 1 out of Kremmling into State Bridge (so I can avoid Vail pass) and on down to I-70, then through Clifton and south on 50 to 550. If the Devil decides to have his Due and I'm not there by dark, someone mount a SAR effort so I don't freeze my butt off alone in the backseat of my Jeep. See you all on Thursday and we can drink wine, eat lasagne, sharpen our picks, and tell tall tales. :P BTW, STS is the UGLIEST gunmetal grey Jeep Cherokee on the roads of Colorado to date. Can't miss it.
Hey Skibs,
Make sure you turn you beacon to transmit and load with fresh batteries so we can hone in you if we need to darling. Make sure you have a way to contact us, and in the event youre stranded, how will we know where to get an additional key so we dont have 15 dirtbags in the parking lot upseting the neighbors with our loud party and bonfire....
On the final note, the two newest beers turned out as expected, and will be named by the participants as we see fit. Of course ill give my $.02 first since i created these little guys, I'll gladly take input so its a fun naming and libating experience.....
Up Up and Ouray!

In reply to: Official word is Satan's Twin Sister is frigid. Her heater core is blocked (I know the feeling!). Sooooo, I'll be driving like a bat outta h$ll to get there before my lips turn blue or before they cast me as the frozen Hatchet Jack in the sequel to Jeremiah Johnson.
Fill up a couple Nalgene bottles with boiling water, and tuck 'em inside your jacket (in your armpits, small of the back, etc.) Should help keep your core warm, and THAT will help keep the fingers and toes warm.
In reply to: Any batteries I have for my beacon have already been used for something else......... :wink:

Skibs In reply to: Roger that Mistress Domina Estrogena, its important to prioritize on the applicable use of batteries esp in said emergncy, at least youll have a rich warm smill frozen on your face. As for the water bottles, dont heat the interior too much and vent your window a hair to keep the water vapor down.....of course that is only if youre driving, if youre stranded and the sherriff is stopping by to help out, by all means fog them windows up sumfin fierce woman YEAAAHHHHHAAWWWWWWWWWW!!!! |

WOOOOO HOOOOO :lol: It's getting so close I can't contain myself any longer. Geo scared the crap out of me about the initiation ritual and I have just regained my composure, although my sphincter is still quivering a bit. :shock: On my quest for total enlightenment I have become at ease with the thought of fulfilling the initiation requirements. Alpinerocket & I will be there Thursday evening for the dinner and I wasn't sure if we were bringing the Wine or the sheep. Oh well, we'll bring plenty of both. Here's to Ouray Ice Fest & Meeting you all... Cheers! ~ Jim

You think your sphincter is quivering NOW? Need I remind you that the townhome will be populated with only one woman and 11 men? :shock:
Or, in the immortal words of our sagacious leader, Geo:
"If you're on top, you ain't gay."

Just got a Picture from a friend of mine that spent the weekend in Ouray, man, its amazing.
There is a goodly number of fire fighter /paramedic types in our group so theyll appreciate the latest stout with some alacrity, and Geo, its like drinking Single Malt Lagavulin meets hops......truly unique.
What time you in Ouray Geo? Im going in tomorrow night late, and i remember you have to run off and pick up another victim, ur, i mean participant to the festivities and then youll be back later. Ill see if Redpointron and i cant cause a little trouble before you get back.
Tally one big A$$ party master switch is on!

The maps from last year at the park aren't available on the Park website anymore, so I put up the .gif copies on my site. If you want them beforehand (I think they'll be available there in pamphlet format, but I ain't guaranteeing anything), download and print them from here:

Just so I won't be totally outdone by Sandbag, I've packed a selection of classic tradkelly homebrews for the party; look forward to Success Orange Pale Ale, Biohazard Pale, and Crystal Mill Bitter, amongst others. There'll be plenty for everyone. Hope this place is furnished... with like, a dishwasher. (ooh, ooh, I can maybe wash my helmet straps finally!)
Don't no one forget shorts for the hot springs pool, a couple of blocks away, and we'll have dial-up internet access (free) from the condo. Sean and I should be pulling in on Thurs evening after some tele-time in Summit, so save us some chow. Check conditions in the area (out-of-park too) at http://www.skywardmountaineering.com/current.html .

I'm here in Ouray....
never thought it would happen. Flight got nixed out of Denver. United Sucks. Somehow landed on a bus to Grand Junction. And a bus to Ouray. Climbed the past 3 days in gorgeous weather. Can't wait for the crazies to arrive.

The Lasagna Magnifico has been prepped. Whence I arrive in Ouray, I'll finish it off (boil noodles, put together, and bake.)
Let me tell y'all something.. and this sounds like I'm bragging (mainly cause I am, but I digress....):
This Lasagna is the Shiznit... The Truth... Proper... Righteous... Off the Hook.
It's pretty good, I think. I hope y'all do too.
Now then... the checklist:
* Clothes... Check.
* Gear... Check.
* Food... Check.
* Boots, harness, etc... Check.
* Wine... (hic) Check.
* Cat has been supplied with lots of food and water... Check.
* Gas in the Jeep... Check.
Off to bed for 6 hours of sleep, up at 0400, and off to Ouray at 0500. See y'all on Monday or Tuesday, and a full trip report shall be forthcoming.
Alpha Mike Foxtrot.

Will do... you want meat or veggie?
I've got to save a few servings of veggie for Tracyroach and company, who will arrive on Friday, or she may not invite me to "get sweaty" and "palm some jugs" with her during lunch. ;)
Since the pans are huge, I don't think that'll be a problem.

The festivities have begun! We're here, most of us anyway, and IT IS GOOD. The kegs are cold and charged on the deck; the condo is an incredible 3-story deal. If we could stop the damn religious and Marine jokes, it'd be perfect. I think it's going to be a good weekend - it looks as though there'll be a record number of nubile young female ice climbers here this year, for some reason (this thread, perhaps?). Our personal token female would join and post (many thanks to our free dial-up connection here), but she's indisposed upstairs, too exhausted to make the trip all the way down here to the computer. We'll take better care of Skibs tomorrow after we visit the hot springs. :wink:
More to follow tomorrow, along with the first batches of (evil) and (good, blue ice) photos from the festival. Be jealous. :) Don't hate us; we've just moved along to the next evolution from you sport-climbing weenies.

friday morning.
we're sitting here in the condo enjoying a breakfast of strong coffee, fruit salad and bagels artfully prepared by our very own skibabeage.
as the only woman in a house of 12 men, she's really been hustling to get things done around here. we would really like to have her post here today, but, after she finishes the breakfast dishes the downstairs toilet is clogged and in dire need of attention.
we'll try to get her to log on after the lunch rush, but i'm not making any promises.
okay, then, we -- that is the men -- are off to climb.

Good morning, folks. It's Friday morning, and we're (more or less) awake. Geo, ever the Marine, started our day off with a rousing "Drop your D*#%s and grab your picks... it's 0530, time to climb." We straggled from bed, and had Skibabeage not brewed a extra strong pot of coffee, there would have been violence.
The ice looks sweet... deep blue, plastic, and thicker than the morning coffee. Half of us are in clinics today, the other half are just here to climb. Tonight is the pizza-and-beer buffet: All you can eat and drink for $10.
Skibabeage, sadly, is not able to climb today. She's still recovering from exhaustion, and once she gets her energy, she's got cleaning and housekeeping to do. Maybe once she's done, we'll let her climb.
Tradkelly, inventive as ever, has decided to run a hose from the kitchen sink to the balcony and create a MI4 route, including dry-tooling on the pine logs of the balcony.
Speaking of drytooling, redpointron has not left the downstairs bedroom. He's from Indiana, and has never seen such ice and mountains before. I think he's scared.
The beer is tasty, the company is great, and the scenery can't be beat.
Gotta run: Off to a clinic w/ Jack Tackle at 0800.

In reply to: Beige, I think I'll paint the ceiling beige........ :lol:
What's the difference between a nymphomaniac, a hooker, and a housewife?
The nympho asks, "Is that all?"
The hooker states, "That's all."
The housewife says (in a bored tone, with head tilted back), "Beige, I think I'll paint the ceiling beige."
Ice on, skibs.

Not like a single, annoying mosquito buzzing about the room in the night.
But Geo, you're probably right. For a guy of your advanced years and station in life, fifteen seconds is doing pretty darn good! :roll:

Skibby did get out today. She tore up a 4/5. I've got a photo to prove it. I will post it when I get back to elev. 700. She is still swooning over Jack Tackle. He's not all that.

No one dares post anymore. It's just too wild. Last night's pizza and beer potluck dinner at the Community Center (with the exception of the annoying guy with the microphone) was unreal; Reno warming up the Sex Machine, unlimited beer from New Belgium, and gear deals - the $8 harnesses and 5-for-$16 daisies - almost made us not notice all of the hot ice climbing chicks running around everywhere (but most especially in the kitchen, oh boy, yum).
It got better when we got back to the über-pad afterwards; we're not allowed by the TOS to post the pictures here, unfortunately. Our moderator-in-residence tells us so. Or she might just be trying to protect herself and her reputation. Hard to say.
Another day now, and the hard-core group was out the door before sun-up this morning. Us, we have three or four more days of this ahead of us, so we're taking it a bit more slowly. The rave tonight might make things interesting for tomorrow morning as well. Time to go find some ICE!

Day two: Again, the ice is so sweet... most of the lines are thicker than my ex-girlfriend's thighs, and the weather can't be better... sun, soft breeze, and clear skies.
Woke up this morning at 0530, brewed the coffee, and cooked up two dozen scrambled eggs for everyone. We set off to the park, and set up the ropes. Iamthelawgoddess "warmed up" on a wicked sick WI4+ line, and did it with style. Next to us, alpinerocket and phatbastard did another cool line of WI4.
Made it to the clinic in time, and had the pleasure of learning from Johnny Copp about transitions from ice to alpine routes. Good class, lots of good info, and even roped up w/ Johnny. Cool stuff.
Walked back to the commons area, grabbed a quick bowl of chili, and dropped into a WI4+ line (see tradkelly's picture above) and it was cool. That was my 6th line of the day, and I was roasted. Walked back to the condo, and here I sit.
Tonight it's the Dinner and Fashion show at the community center (proceeds benefit the Ouray Volunteer Fire Department,) with all you can drink New Belgium beers for $10.
See ya tomorrow, everyone.

transition from ice to alpine? it's been the other way around for me ... and boy do i love this ice! breakfast was awesome this morning, even if i did have to get up at 4:15 to make it there on time. :wink: it was really cool to meet a bunch of you and climb with some of you in the south park. i can't tell you how much i really didn't want to go back to telluride and work this evening. :cry: don't get too drunk tonight. well, actually, get as drunk as you can and send me pictures! :lol: i hope i get to see you all again some time! :)

well, the kids are all at the fashion show, drinking beer and bidding on cool stuff.
the ice was good today, and i only took two bloody shots to the face. a good thing, too, since my grill can't possibly look any worse.
after being stopped by the umpteenth person to say, "geo, how are you?" martha remarked that, "we're walking around with a celebrity." but the truth is, the ice climbing community is so small, that you're bound to make a bunch of friends along the way. if you live in an area where there is ice climbing -- and you haven't yet tried it -- you should really give it a spin. you'll be hooked. and if you're an ice climber and have never been to the ouray ice festival, mark your calendar for next year's event.
finally, climbing chicks rock ... but ice climbing chicks rock especially hard.

oh, i might also add that martha's pretty much ready to have jack tackle's children ... or at least go for a dry run.
"has anyone seen jack?"
"jack's mustache is so cool."
"what would jack do?"
kee-rist, she's swooning around the ice park babbling and drooling like ronald reagan on creamed spinach day at the home.

You and me both, Kelly.
"Beige, I think I'll paint the ceiling beige........ "
Sounds like it could use some stars and comets to liven it up a bit. Course it takes a good long while to get them right.
Keep the pix coming, more ice, more of Kelly and his toys, more of everything.
BTW, by definition, anyone in Ouray right now instead of stuck at home, sucks...

Day Three:
I couldn't seem to climb very well today.
That may be directly related to the fact I slept poorly.
I slept poorly, as I could not stop thinking of something very special.
I couldn't stop thinking of something special, because I am smitten.
Just two days ago, I met "The One"... that special person I want for all eternity.
She is the Pizza Girl, and she will be mine. Oh, yes, she will be mine.

hmmmm, okay, an update:
So far, the Ouray experience reminds me alot of the Snow White fairy tale.
...Except in this version, there are like twelve or fourteen dwarves, there is ALOT more beer, nobody works, snow white wears pasties and swings ice tools, the bald dwarfe has a handlebar mustache, you know... subtle differences that help us avoid copywright infringement.
Some things haven't changed though, everyone is up at 5:00 AM every morn. (in spite of the tubular webbing they may wake to find themselves restrained with, yes I'm serious), and we all walk happily to our day whistling and carrying axes and picks.
Just a big happy, twisted, smelly, family.
And insite of whatever anyone else says, Martha absolutely DOES know Jack. Matter of fact I saw a picture of her looking right at his ASS. Quite the attentive belay there Skibbs.

Oh, but far better is the shot of Jack looking up at Skibby as she starts up the ice... Jack is a far wiser man than most of us. Why didn't we think of holding womens' clinics?!? There were so many, um, opportunities. Yes, we will be volunteering next year, hopefully in the good name of RC.com. What sort of clinics can we offer? I see perhaps Intermediate Ice Belaying for Women... How to Meet Male Ice Climbers... Ice Swimsuit Photography.
Actually we'll perhaps volunteer the group next year for a day of helping out with admin and support, avoid the crowds on ice for a day, get free admission to the free-food-and-beer venues (many, many thanks to our bestest hostesses, Beer Girl and Pizza Girl), and pro deals on the sponsor gear.
The rest of town is winding down right now, but Reno and Elvislegs are back from a beer run and the RC condo is going nuts still. How the... Sharpie just went all zen on us and stacked four beer bottles on a plastic pizza tent. Others are now begging to get on here. I'll post some more photos here in a few minutes. Geo has something to say. I'm being hounded for access.

Things are really getting out of control. It is true that Elvez and I made a "B-Double E-Double R-U-N" and while we had to drive to Ridgeway (10 miles up 550) to get 3.2 beer, it was worth the drive.
We returned to see various climbing gear stickers placed everywhere... bottles, coffee mugs... even the chicken we had for dinner. Crazy madness, all of it.
Despite the fact that the Townhome Indoor Balcony Dry-Tooling Comp is under way (Tradkelly sent it with style, using a repeating series of Figure-4 moves and some strong arm work,) I'm heading out in search of Pizza Girl. With a little luck, a lot of beer, and perhaps a promise of riches and lavish gifts, maybe she'll run away with me.
Ah, Pizza Girl.

beer girl ... pizza girl ... the debate rages on.
personally, i cast my vote for beer girl. while she is pretty, pizza girl lacks a certain ... well, she lacks @ss. my god, there's just nothing [i:15fbbabdb9]there[/i:15fbbabdb9]. beer girl, on the other hand, offers a bit more to hold on to -- substance, structural integrity -- that and she's a mean hand at the beer tap. a bonus in [i:15fbbabdb9]anyone's[/i:15fbbabdb9] book.
ultimately, pizza girl is a ferrari; there's no denying that. strap in, sit back and smoke those pirelli's all the way to starbucks for a soy latte. beer girl i would compare to a harley soft-tail; a plush, stylish ride to your favorite watering hole for a tall, frosty glass of amber refreshment.
oh, well ... i'll get back to that some other time. right now a wee dram of cragganmore beckons. besides, it's time for the world cup condo balcony dry-tooling semi-finals.
jeesus ... i sure hope we get our deposit back.

I'm home now!!!
What a killer weekend. Sounds like you guys had lots of fun too.
The climbing, parties, schwag, people, booze and the most beautiful men on the planet all made this fest of succes for me. I'll be back in a couple of weeks. My clinic really helped me dial in some skilz. I'm ready for the sharp end!! I can't believe what I accomplished this weekend out there. Abby Watkins was an amazing instructor! I doubt she reads this but if she does, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY CRAMPON!!!
Sharpy, how do I get my shirt?
Oh, and thanks for cheering me on today Reno! Could you tell I was having a great time? Nice work on the run beside me!
Anyone, if you see a guy named Joel, tell him to call me!!! Hopefully it's the right Joel.
Maybe sometime I'll get to climb more with you guys. I think Flamer was the only one of you yahoos I shared a rope with. :-(
I'm getting my first good nights rest in days in T-minus 30 minutes and counting. I'll be dreaming about ICE!!!

It's easy to see why Skibby's sore.
http://www.geocities.com/tradkelly2/08Ouray.jpg
Sean completes the first ascent of Pizza Girl's Spicy Pie (M2). It was promised, and it happened. Hence the need for paint. And drywall mud. The sleeper sofa wasn't damaged too badly.
http://www.geocities.com/tradkelly2/09Ouray.jpg
Figure 4s across the traverse section were the most efficient way to complete this problem. Not since the Ice Fest mixed comp yesterday did we see this many cool moves. Oh my.
Oh my, Pizza Girl. It took us a minute, but it was unanimous in the end. Except for Sandbag, of course, but he runs to the beat of a different metronome. And Geo likes Beer Girl. That's okay, we like her too. We'll let you decide, though. This is one of the best two new routes put up at this ice festival this year, bar none other.
And you're missing it, you sad sacks. : :lol:

But, we're off-topic here. The topic is, always has been, and always will be, Pizza Girl.
And Beer Girl.
Did I mention Pizza Girl touched me two nights ago at the beer-and-dinner benefit for the park? And when Sharpie and I went to the slide show and more-free-beer-benefit tonight, I got to draw her a beer from the keg graciously provided by our friends at New Belgium? Oh my, goodness gracious. Sakes alive.
http://www.geocities.com/tradkelly2/07Ouray.jpg
Pizza Girl (she's the one on the right, you dipsh1ts) at the festival today, checking us out... along with the other competitors, of course, but we were the closest ones wearing our sexy sharp pointy stuff.
Or, is Geo right? Is Beer Girl, the friendlier one (maybe that's just that she was pouring us free beer for the last three days), where it's at? Here's Beer Girl at the rave last night, happily sending me another 1554.
