VM
Now you have your own appreciation thread.
Since I have roots from the same area love pierogies which are hard to find here so best to make them yourself. Borscht with beets is another. Fairfax area of Los Angeles "Canters" and one in Studio City, North of Hollywood makes it great. Salted Haddock is real hard to find but San Francsico has some to find.

"How about you f*#k off, I f*#k off, and everyone lives happily ever after? I do not need a thread, or anything else. Feel like forum whore for wasting my time on this garbage already'
"Feel like forum whore for wasting my time on this garbage already' good thinking.
Now you have a reason to get off and go back to summit. Doubt that we will hear the last of this? Yes! you are wasting my time, go climbling.

Hey, I have roots in the Ukraine too!
VM, what's your favorite area? Yosemite is hard to beat for me, but there are so many....
Do you climb big walls, or prefer short and free?
Just for balance: Quit calling everybody 60 yrs old. We're not all there yet, and you will be soon enough....

I am also part Ukraine.
I love pierogies with saurkraut or cheese n potato with a dab of sour creeme
also borsh beet soup with a dab of sour creeme .
Everone deserves to be heard, its more about how well they listen.
Its easy to get caught up in a tussle when you first arrive here-
no not US of A but SUPERTOPO
This place is so unique and diverse it is actually quite complicated sometime.
Always great and Always entertaining.
I hope VM can add what he has to here, and we could use more interesting trip reports.
I think he is a good guy and will be able to fit in.
We all make mistakes.

Vitaliy's an OK dude. He seems to get a bee under his bonnet from time to time but he's had lots of good contributions over on summitpost (though he and The Chief get into the occasional kerfuffle).

hey fatty- this is getting scary
I lived at 3rd and fairfax for a few years, just down the street.
were you the one who tooled my car and put das boot on it. Damn LA parking
After a long night of hooting it up at Moley Malones around 2 or 3 in the morning I would saunter on over to canters and always get the same thing to go.
Smoked chubs and popiseed struedel with a quart of milk.
great area!
edit : you will have to take me to the place near your home when I come and visit. a good perogie is hard to find.

Wow a personal appreciation thread after being active on the forum for such a short time. Awwwwww shanghai buddy, you shouldn't have! You guys are so nice here. I love you all to death. Can't wait to sleep in your houses when I travel away from Bay Area (although aren't most of you from Bay Area or close by in CA?).
Since you asked, I have been climbing for about 1.5 years now. I love any type of climbing. Especially climbing technical routes on mountains is my favorite. But I love camping, free climbing, mountaineering, snowboarding, want to learn AID and get into big walls (but I need to improve my free climbing first IMO), would boulder if I got a chance. When I am out there I am focused on working hard (or not), and most of all to have fun. Some days could be 21hour marathons and some could be pure fun and joy, both have it's place. Since I am fairly new to it I still get really excited about every climb. Something I enjoy a lot also is to bring some of my friends out to enjoy the outdoors with me. This weekend I am excited to bring out a friend of mine who I played on the football team with. Year ago he started to attend a climbing gym where I go, but he has never climbed outside of gym. We will be going to climb in Tahoe area with my other friend. Hopefully he will like it, and we'r not gonna die.

Wow, only been climbing 1.5 years? Well don't know much about you, but was impressed with your winter trip up Carl Heller, and really appreciated the vodka you left in the summit register can...
May you have many long and fulfilling years of all types of climbing!

Yeah 1.5 years, but almost every weekend. When I say I love it, I mean it : ) What my mother has to say is a lot different though. She doesn't like me being in the mountains so much, and she doesn't appreciate the mountains as much because there are not too many flowers on rock faces etc. So I try to take photos and bring some flowers for her to enjoy...
Winter mountaineering is what I like a lot. Summer mountaineering in Sierra doesn't prepare you too much for Alaska, but trips like Carl Heller do. East Arete of Humphreys was a very cool winter ascent too, I thought. http://www.summitpost.org/winter-ascent-of-the-full-east-ridge-of-mt-humphreys/701674 My friend put a lot of work into this report...
This year we have planned a few big (for us) winter trips too. Hopefully they will end up without much alterations from plans.

Did you guys just use an internet translator or you seriously speak it a bit? If you do speak it, is it because you were spies during cold war, or is it because some of your ancestors are from there, or you took it in school? I am pretty surprised.

Light? Man, that vid wasn't light. I'm not sure I want to know how Vitaly
found it, either. And, who's phone numbers were on the screen at the end?
Maybe a woodlovers' helpline? (I lost the audio as I had fastforwarded to the denouement)

But don't worry, I'm Russian on the inside, where it counts.
Plus, I learned to climb like a Russian, no money, no gear, no clothes.....
Sh#t, no wonder all poor people make good climbers!

His fine record of accomplishments aside, what appeals to me about Vitaliy is his vitalitiy.
He's a bundle of energy but not at all tightly wound like some rock gods.
Yes, V, you are one of the divine: the Demi-god of ST.
(Sorry, donini, yer one of the Old Gods now.)
Carry the torch well, V. You have a lot of living and climbing left to do.

A Righteous soul, who walks THE LONG WALK, can talk the talk but sees a better way to leave a mark.
He has gone away and come around again.
there was a guy named RShore?
who's exploits were on a par
they should get together on the next line up Buds Creek Wall.
Thanks for the tall dreams V (myshanko??)
I should'a really looked it up before I tried to write it down

Excellent dude: nice as can be, good sense of humor, inspiring level of energy and passion. Very glad I met him in person a few times. Definitely the kind of person you want to surround yourself with in life.
Cheers, Vitaliy, see you out there.

Now you have a reason to get off and go back to summit. Doubt that we will hear the last of this? you are wasting my time, go climbing.

A tad over 7 years ago. A different time and a different place. A time when one is just beginning.
A tale, long gone, as in bye, bye, so long, take it easy, write, UPS……a tale that doesn’t belong, a change.
No reason to go to summit, you belong here and have seen you have.
As for: Doubt that we will hear the last of this! gone
As for wasting my time, NO you are not wasting my time. Climb, Climb, Climb and when you are tired of that Climb again. You are doing good, excellent. Excellent Trip Reports, keep writing and for those A++ Professional Photos. Watermark those babies.
*I deleted last paragraph on the first original post and see I can’t change the second. I was about to delete the whole thing and said no. The story goes Vitally caught me picking my nose.
