right then all you beasts. dobbinator et moi are going for a romantic week long break to the land of the original 8c. post some pics, or hit us with some essential ticks. plus can anyone recommend the best place for steaks nearby.
thanks in advance
-
when you going?
where's my invite?
-
dunno about steaks, but i can recommend you an hotel in biasca ("city of zombies", how a switz friend of mine told me), with a nice brothel/illegal gambling house in the back, packed with east-european workers busy with betting and...you guess it.
it the one just in front of the train station.
as for the ticks...everything in stonelove video.
and...haem...when you goin'? im close to my peak period... ;)
-
I'm also going for the weekend, so Nibile could you share some more information about this hotel in Biasca (tired of searching accommodation every time when I go there)
Thank you very much

i told you a bout a week ago, going with ben for last week jan/first of feb. you said you were busy milking your cats anus or something?!
-
thanks for the knowledge, i'll be sure to go try la boule and le prou then! morton's sorted the accomodation though thanks nibs, i've done nothing towards this trip except manage to get more than 5 days off in a bloody row. rota organisers.... what the hell do they get paid for if they can't sort out the rota, and i have to organise my own cover... anyway, cheers doyle, if it rains i'm gonna fucking cry, or bum dobbin. took last week off had the option of that or this week and look at the weather from last week compared to this. at least the rain did the garden some good.

I don't remember. Anyway, I think that week is my 7 off so you might have an unwelcome visitor to disrupt your little swiss love nest
:shag:

Don't bum dobbin, he doesn't wash!
-
cheers doyle, if it rains i'm gonna fucking cry, or bum dobbin.
You have given me horrible visions of you bent over dobbin, both balling crying your eyes out in a rainstorm
-
he'd be wearing a cardboard mask of you though jon...
-
Very dark
-
and i'd be wearing a mask of dense...
-
art imitating life?
-
you shuld have seen nige tonight, he was wearing your mask... of course the cauli flour was in evidence....
as for tomorrow i'v got to sort out team endocarditis, so no crankage then. saturday, i'd rather hit the peak...
-
I will be doing a rain dance from now until then. The mask is prepared and ready...
-
so, whats the news from cresciano? is someone already there or next week?
weather is supposed to be killer!!!
more: is it still possible to sleep at the hockey field? rastata, did you check?
-
I spoke to dobbin today, so this is straight from the horses mouth;
"I am sunbathing at cresciano!
Its warm
James has his top off
Its cock out weather here"
I don't know exactly why he mentioned having his cock out after mentioning that james was undressed but I'm sure there are viable reasons...
Hopefully it will cool down before next week.
-
tell them to give a call if they need weather/bouldering info for down here, like a couple hours south of cresciano.
-
but no cocks out if they come south.
-
why haven't they gone to magic wood or chironico then instead of sunbathing?
it better cool down next week or my cock will be out!
-
We're not going for a sausage fest Jim. Anyway, there is a spare place on this magical trip so if any of you punters fancy joining in the fun with some big number and some medium numbers, get in touch with me. We are leaving this sunday and return the following sunday. I can only promise good times, hard problems, Jim's sausage, and mescaline.
-
never mind the sausage. wait till you taste the hams
-
:-\ should i risk the sausage to try the mescaline? :-\
-
:-\ should i risk the sausage to try the mescaline? :-\
If you try the mescaline first, the sausage may well be least of your worries. Then again, maybe not...
-
I'll bring a babies arm holding an apple incase the sausage disapoints
-
i dont understand what it means, but just the sound of the words scares the shit out of me...
-
your better off not knowing
-
Is it so fucking difficult to write you're when you mean you are!?!?!
Anyway, dobbin informs me it is still hot at hell but is due to cool down in time for our arrival.
-
you'll be on the recieving end of an apple holding babies arm at this rate if you don't calm your waters Uncle.
Fucking hell I am psyched out of my tiny little mind. (for climbing not babies arm action)
roll on sunday ;D
-
just got back. saw 2 clouds all week. they were emanating from dobbin's buttpipe after eating some particularly cheap cereal bars. he should have done le pilier, but instead put holes in his fingers. ya was tres warm i did indeed have my shirt off, trying to scare the italians. DON"T go to magic unless you fancy snowball fights and climbing verglas. we did. chironico was good. i'd recommend taking a heap of finger skin.
we didn't need the masks.
i'd recommend pleasure tv, and series16 of the simpson's. oh and if you ever get the option of watching memento, don't.
oh and eichof is a very nice beer.
-
hmmm, it seems you guys got the last bits of good weather in cresciano, the forecast is for rain to come every couple of days.
sniff.
-
Having just returned from a week there here are some pics to get you psyched. Pics are only of cresciano since that is what this thread pertains to (other pics to follow in the bouldering pics thread).

Apologies for the bad photos, but I couldn't be expected to take good photos and climb at the same time...
-
may i ask you where were you staying?
was the parking busy with vans? is it still possible to sleep there?
-
I think sleeping up there is no problem. Perhaps busy on the weekend but definitely room during the week. I had the priviledge of arriving there one morning to find an old swiss man doing his morning yoga in the sunshine right in the middle of the car park!
We stayed in an apartment in lumino, about 7 miles from cresciano.
-
Scenes witnessed at cresiano:
huge donkey lines on a 20 degree slab (almost a step to be honest), a big group all using pof and some fucking idiot beating a drum all morning
Fucking euro's. (no offense Nibs)
-
i thank you alot jim, but your attempt to make your trip seem not good, and me not feeling envious are wasted. ;)
