tracy --
i would STILL strongly suggest to those of you planning to hike on saturday to come up friday night. that way there's no motivation to roll over in denver and punch the snooze button.
15 years as a marine taught me well the art of early morning persuasion. :lol: :lol: :lol:
NOBODY sleeps in on MY watch! :shock:

i've also done la plata, but not the ellingwood ridge so i'd be psyched to do that. geo - any new routes possibilities on that big steep face? its been years since i've gone over independence pass so i don't remember much what it looks like, otgher than it impressed me many moons ago.

'droo --
while there IS some big stuff on the north face, i've only ventured to climb there in winter & spring. i would imagine, though, that the whole chossy pile was cemented together by the snow and ice. i would further imagine one would encounter extreme rockfall during the dry season.
so, basically ... i'm game! hell, you'd be amazed how far a chunk of ensolite under your helmet will go towards raising the testosterone level! :lol:
besides, sh*tty alpine rock means ... PITONS!!! and i DO enjoy driving steel.

it has also just occurred to me that there's no better way to end a fine day's climbing than with a long soak at the cottonwood hotsprings in buena vista!
*at night it's clothing optional!* :oops:

In reply to: hell, man ... i've been doing the "butt-blaster" tapes every morning. i can open a beer bottle with this ass! here, gimme that thing -- let me show you ... *FSSSST*
and also...
In reply to: besides, sh*tty alpine rock means ... PITONS!!! and i DO enjoy driving steel.
...Geo you are so damn hilarious!!! I will eventually get out to CO and climb with you but I'm a little worried about losing my wind halfway up any route we do from laughing. Laughing at 4k is much easier than laughing at 13K I need to start training in some sort of bubble or something?!
Well, once again I must tacet on this little get together. But the house is coming along and I will someday be available again to climb, and drink, and pound pitons, and spew beer through my nostrils.
Later brother, have fun.

EL-VEZ!
dude, i have a number of people on this site with whom i'd give your left nut to climb with ... and YOU, palie-boy, are on the short list!
i'm glad to hear the hut's coming along ... that'll sure make the the missus happy. and you know what they say: "if momma ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy!"
being handyman retarded -- i can identify a claw hammer 2 out of 5 times -- it just impresses the sh*t out of me that anyone could actually build their own house! don't they SELL those things?
we'll get together some day, bruddah. some day ...

Geo -- No offense, but if you're tending bar, I just might pass on asking for a long neck. This could put new meaning to "down stream beer."
With the possibility of something like LaPlata, you're finally putting some "mountain" in "... Leadville mountaineering..."! Ellingwood would be a worthy outing.
Oh yeah, and I'm hurt by the "gym climber" comment. As soon as I can roll out of my Crazy Creek belay chair, figure out how to undo this Grigri from my harness, untie the rope (oops, my error -- if you never get off the deck, you don't need to tie in), and find my Teva's, I'm going to mince your way and whack your "butt-blaster" with my stick clip. Then I'll hot foot it back to the cave and pull down some more plastic. I just hope I don't build up too much leg muscle in the process. doo--ooo--ood

I am in. And I am going to throw something else into the mix. Does anybody else on the site kayak? Saturday after the proud summit at some ungodly early morning hour, while everybody else is soaking their tired legs in the hot springs who wants to paddle with me? Either the Numbers on the Ark or we could dodge rafts on Browns Canyon.

Well that sounds like a date not to miss. My self and my better half would love to come up and join in on this trip. Plus you all sound like a great group of people and we look forward to meeting you.
We both would love to join in on the Sat. afternoon kayaking also. But beware, we're beginners in a boat. Maybe we could spung boating beta off ya.
Count us in. and keep the info running.

here's the deal, people: i'm tired of folks saying they'll be there, then bailing at the 11th hour. sooo ...
if you post that you'll be here, you need to BE here.
the only acceptable excuses are:
1. emergency surgery. in which case we'll need a note from your doctor and posted pictures of your oozing wound AND ruptured spleen on a stainless steel tray.
2. death. rendering #1 (above) a moot point.
or
3. the death of someone in your immediate family, including grandmothers. in the case of a stiff grandparent, be aware that we'll be phoning your employers for the past 10 years to ascertain whether or not yer grammy has "died" on more than one ocassion. it happens.

Hello Pot? Yea, this is Kettle. Are you calling me black? :D
I can't make any promises on the leather. But I have plenty of neoprene which is kind of the same thing except it smells a little funkier. which reminds me. I should probably wash that stuff at least once every couple of years.

now look here, wiggles.
YOU were the one who missed the pacific peak winter thing because "I was at the wrong trailhead" or some such lame excuse!
i, on the other hand, missed eleven-mile #1 because i blew the tendons in a finger whilst solo aid climbing. i have not only a DOCTOR'S excuse, but the second knuckle on the middle finger of my left hand -- the very one i'm giving you right now -- looks like a friggin' KNEE!
okay, so i'll admit we're TIED. but look here: "wrong trailhead" -- lame gurly-boy cop-out; blown tendons while SOLO aid climbing -- pretty damn burly.
... ball's in your court, little missy. :lol:
