What are the chances?

What is the chances you find yourself doing another night climb up the apron? Looking for distant bolts on some run out slab…. a vague route you’ve done before - during the day - and slapping crystals to some distant anchor?

Then you find yourself one pitch from the top and decide to make a quick call….no answer….. so you put your really, really expensive cell into your helmet that is clipped to the anchor….

Next your partner, the distant head lamp below, pads his way through the darkness to your stance. After high fives you grab your helmet and put it on, only to feel something brush by your waist as it hits the wall…then slides…and bounces…and bounces ….It gains momentum and the bounces get more and more separated…and bounces…then silence.

Oh no!!!

What was that?

thinking..please be my headlamp battery…..checking pants pocket….. please be my headlamp battery.

Oh shit, that was my cell phone

Now what are the chance you rappel down at night and find it? Not only do you find it, but in near PERFECT shape!!! My Sony 3.2 phone literally slid and bounced down the apron to miraculously land on a bushy ledge (otherwise SAIL down the remainder of the wall to it’s electronic doom).

Not only does it work, not a scratch on the screen, the camera in perfect shape and most of all, all my shots and numbers still available to me. What a damn good phone!! Like I said best Sony product since the yellow Walkman! And that is the truth!

Chances are pretty good this happened last night.

Anyone even freakin care about what goes on in your f*ck’d up life?

Besides, aren’t you are too poor to afford an expensive phone?

  • yeah… all that tweed I smoke….. ? Funny, can’t even remember when I last smoked some…oh wait a minute, yes I can BUSTED. Who was it that said Yes I smoked (grass), but I didn’t inhale I think it was President Clinton, but hey, It could have easily been your mom. Either way
  • Don’t tell me you buy that shit? Obviously you care Peter-1, otherwise you wouldn’t have taken the extra effort to learn how to spell… Don’t you have class right now? Or do middle school students not have homework anymore?

205 visits in less than 12 hrs…maybe I should write more.

  • And yes, it can be yours for a mere 0, used less than one year and a complimentary 1gb card. But you have to put up with: the kooks, arctic monkeys, gorillaz, led zeppelin, Kyuss, and DJ Shadow sound tracks. Okay 399.99 just for you.

What ever.

Why calling yourself stone mason?  You’re no stone mason. Not listed or registered. I’ve friends who are real stone masons for a Whistler company and they know who is and who is not. Sweet is the bs you post. Sweet to dream

I met these two dudes once in Skaha.  They were hairy long/bearded guys, a kind of climbing Taliban, and they were stoneworkers from Whistler.  It was funny, they had all the hair, and were not trad climbers ;-)
