This is classic entertainment at it's finest. Larry and Curly make me laugh my ass off i'm not sure what happened to Moe? Maybe he was holding the camera? I can't tell you how many times I watched this just for the slapstick humor. It's a masterpiece.

Post by: Big Kahuna on January 27, 2020, 09:16:49 pm: So many people climbing "5.15" these days? Would Wolfgang rated these routes 5.15? I think that Alex Megos will do the first 5.16 some day. What is the human limit?

Post by: Mighty Hiker on February 10, 2020, 06:55:56 pm: Here is a fine video, on how we climb in the Great White North. Probably frostback is in it somewhere.

https://www.nfb.ca/film/how_to_climb_a_mountain/

(In fact, a 1954 National Film Board documentary, from the early days of television. Much of it filmed on Grouse Mountain, on the Vancouver's north shore. Lots of history in it, visible and implicit.)

The stupid verifier thing wants me to tell it where El Cap is. Which one?

Some would say it's already been reached and that the rest is numbers gaming. I mean how does it get harder than requiring a one finger pull up?

Post by: Big Kahuna on February 18, 2020, 08:48:08 am: Ya never knew when you would run into him at the Leap or in the valley. We always shared beers with him when we would run into him at the end of the day. It was always the high light of the trip. I loved his stories and his advice on routes. It's sad to think there will never be beers with the Bird at the center of the universe or at the leap parking lot.

RIP Bird

Post by: Big Kahuna on February 29, 2020, 07:27:33 pm: I will never forget the day I was leading one of the more advanced Ice routes at Lee Vining and a guy on the route to my right says to me "Hey you're looking pretty good over there!" It was fucking Jeff Lowe! Made my day. He was truly a nice guy.

RIP Jello

Post by: Big Kahuna on March 06, 2020, 08:30:07 am: Yeah I watched those countless times while I did my stairmaster training to lose weight to get into the high 11s and low 12s. I liked Largo because he gave me hope that people over 200 could climb. They may have been corny but I did laugh my ass off on them and they still get a chuckle out me when I see them to this day.
