Okay, eKat. Let's not be disingenuous. I guess I missed an announcement of your split.

To be clear, this was intended as the eKat, OldManBrockman appreciation thread.

More stories. You can fictionalize them a little, if necessary. Memory always does that a little anyway!

Glad to hear you're still together.

The fictionalizing was only if necessary to avoid giving up secrets. :-)

EKat,
Since this is an appreciation thread...I really love your trip reports. I feel like were in one of those old time small towns, a hundred years ago, waiting for the stage to come. We know every week EKat will sent the next installment from Alaska, or where ever. Just to keep our hopes alive. Keep it up, gal.

I will always remember getting rides to go climbing, down valley, in an old 2002 bmw that was 50% bondo. It wasn’t kats. It was some sort of borrowed “ride”. The thing never ran out of gas and it had a stereo, with jimi or floyd always at max volume. You might just say it was the perfect car. Kat always drove the thing and boy o boy she could really “hit a late apex”. Just wish to say thanks for the rides.
love

But this here?
What we are left with are mediocre trip reports and lots and lots and lots of political crap.

As for the political stuff. I never click on it.

I still can't figure out what ran Ekat off but I couldn't figure out what pissed Jeremy off either. It's a lesser place without them.

I deleted it, since it doesn't help anyway.
It only expressed how pissed off I am at the stupidity, feigned innocence and hypocrisy.

Why don't the same guys take another swing at old hags, put up a little bit more softporn at the same time and continue to show some more of their priggish cluelessness. Burn!

did I miss eKat jumping ship?
did she grow up while the rest of us were busy picking our belly button lint?

Why am I thinking of that fine woman?
Because of the Boles Fire in Weed. Doesn't eKat have a place up near the Sleeping Goddess?

didn't know she'd sold her Shasta Pad.

I'm another who remembers the lovely girl/young woman from the Way Back Machine.
She and her squeeze at the time uncovered this Noob Wannabe climber bum in C4 and we went up Commitment; 1975 I think. I got to lead a pitch! I still remember the struggle getting a nut off the rack only to find it didn't fit while my PA's started to squeak. I grunted an obscenity and just in time struggled up another couple of feet to better finger locks and an edge for one foot. My introduction to serious liebacking. A great day, great climb, fun company.

When I ran into her here something she'd said at some point rang a bell and I went back to my notes in my well used Roper Green Guide.

A very classy woman.
