word

[seanT]

make sure you take a nut warmer as it is freakin cold at the RED in the winter!

[ben smith]

nah man, perfect sending temp last year (maybe even a bit warm during the day)
plus with the new and improved road trip mobile I'm geared up with a tight insulated bivy!!

[ben smith]

global warming yo!!

[granite_grrl]

My reaction was the same as Sean's....sounds cold!!

Don't you know its time to start thinking about ice instead of rock now!?

[seanT]

yeah man i heard you got some new wheels! Sweet,, way easier to crap inside a pickup than a tercel!

[Scooter]

If you would like to catch a glimpse of the new motorhome chances are it is parked in front of the killam library. You can be sure it is Bens if the cab has:

1) Toy box stuffed with clothes, topped off with dirty, moldy and carsiogen (?) infested particles.
2) Dirty sleeping bag
3) Climbing shoes
4) Hustler magazine disguised by a 'Gripped' climbing mag cover.
5) Clear caulking highly visible on the outerside of the truck. A delightful attempt to waterproof the new home, Ben?

Ben, I may join you for a week.

[Scooter]

By particles I mean SOCKS, or whats left of them anyways....

[tracstarr]

LOL

[ben smith]

Scott you may hate on the radtronic new ride but just remember if I had driven it up to freddy then you suckers wouldn't have had to hide out in an abandoned auditorium and bail out of a fire exit in the morning.

[Scooter]

...Dude, I don't know what your idea of 'bonding' is, but its definately not spooning 4 men in the back of a truck!


Now I don't feel so bad for telling everyone if Freddy town that you have a severe mental illness.

[tracstarr]

i think there's more to this story we all need to hear.... what happened in freddy town?

[martha]

These guys didn't have my phone number...which is posted on this forum in several places...not to mention every climber in Freddy (even Zig and Heather who were in Freddy) have our multiple phone numbers..... so they didn't end up staying here.. instead they 'camped' out in the university parking lot and in some of the buildings! Man, I even made up the spare room to accomodate these guys and had blankets ready for the couch. they missed out!!

[tracstarr]

ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Scooter]

ahah my phone was dead so we couldn't get heathers number, and we called zig but his phone was off! The night made for a good story.

I apologize Cara for not being able to reach you, once again we appreciate the offer, next time we'll be better planned (like filling up the gas tank so we don't have to drive 90+km on an empty tank!)

[Adam]

that's the first climbing comp epic i've heard of.

good work

[ben smith]
