shit was bad ass... so foggy at the top though I didn't get any pics up there... and we were kinda forced from the peak as 2 people fell and died while we were up there... and they had to bring in the helicopter to air lift them

[Cutty72]

sweet pics ebbs, don't fall, looks like it might hurt. :lol:

and I like the turtle monument.

[WARputer]

Kickass pics Ebbs ! Something that the grandkids will be amazed by one day . Granted ....that you eventually spawn . :lol:

Ahhh... you're a tricky motherfucker.

[Mr Lefty]

:lol: yeah... there's no way in hell I'd be on a slope that angle with no harness... that'd be like 80*+

I saw the rock and was like... I got an idea...

[Cutty72]

:lol: yeah... there's no way in hell I'd be on a slope that angle with no harness... that'd be like 80*+

I saw the rock and was like... I got an idea...

That's what I figured when I first saw it.

You shoulda placed a rope/harness in the pic... make it more believeable. :dthumb:

ehh I was just fuck'n around... not REALLY trying to make people believe I did that...

I am looking into buying a harness, rope and a helmet (all required on certain peaks)

[rider76]

is this a new hobby or have you been climbing before?

[Mr Lefty]

new hobby... been hiking but never rock climbing, till now...

[Cutty72]

new hobby... been hiking but never rock climbing, till now...

I should take up climbing... oh wait... I might have to move. :lol:

[rider76]

you like it way up north Cutty?

[Cutty72]

you like it way up north Cutty?

Yes and no.
I love having 4 seasons, as much as I bitch about winter.
I love the hunting.
My family was all born and raised here, so there is some heritage in the area.
It's peaceful. ND has the same population as many metro areas in other states.
Cost of living is cheap, and jobs pay decently.

BUT
There is a lot of straight and flat. Get to the lakes of MN or the Badlands of ND and it's not too bad, but I'm smack in the middle of 'em
Winter sucks
With not a lot of people, there is also a lot farther that we need to travel to find some of the "cool" stuff that is only in higher population areas.

So idk. I guess I could move somewhere else, but it would never be a big major city
FYI the Fargo/Moorhead area has a population of around 150,000, and that's big to me.

[Mr Lefty]

Here's a few from yesterday... I'll get more up soon

[itgirl]

so you wear sneakers/hiking boots to climb flat faces like that? isn't it slippery?

[Mr Lefty]

so you wear sneakers/hiking boots to climb flat faces like that? isn't it slippery?

I wore sneakers the first time... my Adidas running shoes actually. they slipped like crazy on the real steep shit...

I got some Merrel hiking shoes... work awesome wore those the 2nd and 3rd hikes...

and yesterday I wore my American Eagle boots... as my ankle is still twice it's size from my wreck. so I needed the support. they did awesome... didn't slip once.

the rock is sand stone... and so there's alot of technique to it... if you try and crawl up it you'll slide down... as you've spread your weight out over 4 points (your hands and your feet) and your hands don't grip all that well.

so if you stand... your weight is on your shoes which grip well... and you can just walk up... but you gotta resist the urge to go up on your toes... just keep you feet as flat as possible to have more gripping surface...

lots of trial and error for me... :lol:

[itgirl]

just amazing! i'd like to give that a try sometime.

[Mr Lefty]

just amazing! i'd like to give that a try sometime.

well I'm hope'n to find some place back in the states to do it... but as I'll be in MS for 4 years... I'll be SOL I think :lol:

You extended the offer. Gay offer extender.

[Mr Lefty]

You extended the offer. Gay offer extender.
I extended the offer for you to fuck your own face... some how you turned that gay... that's like a T-Rock level of gayness...

[marko138]

Can't you feel the love?

Love as in hatred growing inside of me? Next time I see ebbs, I'm going to pull a G-man vs thief move.

[Mr Lefty]

[Gas Man]

Whoa boys...

First we have a gay offer extender to a gay offer extender reciever, discussed with a drewpy lover, and you bring Mr Macho Gas Man into the picture? WTF gives?

Stop extending gay offers homo-hiker

What city is that below the mountain? I have some great shots of Seoul from the top of Namsan Mountain from when I was stationed in ROK.

[Mr Lefty]

What city is that below the mountain? I have some great shots of Seoul from the top of Namsan Mountain from when I was stationed in ROK.

it's Seoul... well one part or another... the first set is from Burisan and Suraksan. the next set is from Jokdurabong... and the latest is from some place I forget the name but starts with a G...ends with bong :lol:

I fucked up my ankle again on the way down so I'm hope'n to get at least one more hike in... but don't see it happening soon.

[Johnny Rico]

That's what I thought. The pics I have are right over Namsandong on one side of the mountain and Tongdaemun on the other. My favorite spot was Itaewon because of the cheap $30 pussy.

[Destitute]

Bukhansan park? I was at Sineondae peak (Dobongsan) last spring. I don't recall any stairs!

[Mr Lefty]

Bukhansan park? I was at Sineondae peak (Dobongsan) last spring. I don't recall any stairs!

naw the first one with the stairs was Burumsan... or something like that.

I'll try to get a map of the area and plot the peaks...

Hooker Hill we called it back in 99


only in Korea you have 80 year old grandma pimps out there hustling at all times of the night

drinky/juicy girls FTW

I practically lived out there. Loved it. All the pussy you could want with none of the drama. They would shove you out the door when you were done unless you paid for all night. Which was not a bad deal since one mamasan used to fix me breakfast if I paid her girl for all night.

:diitb::spank::bump:
the only thing that sucked was if you couldn't catch a cab back to post and had to walk back all drunk and shit. but as long as there were vendors with coleslaw dogs and chicken on a stick it was all good.

It was a candy shop out there Korean,Phillipine and of course the

Russian chicks

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk272/ukrainiangirl18/KGB_Ladies.jpg

[Mr Lefty]

the russian girls are gone from up here... they're mostly down south... or so I've been told... haven't actually been south except for the mud fest.

[Johnny Rico]

Candy Store is the best way to describe it. There was a transient barracks in Yongsan and those of use who did not want to go back to our outposts and camps on the line would sign into there.
