Wow I just learned something

That's the most ridiculous article I've ever seen

So I imagine you would not like public speaking Don't you find it interesting that you can post freely on a message board and not have too much problem? You've been around here awhile, and I enjoy your posts. Maybe you can picture the crowd in the room as avatars?

Don't let the drill go too fast either. Specially with phillips heads. All screwing should be done slowly. 8D

I Wonder where you're going ?

Squamish. You might be late for dinner.

Great trip report. I've read it on Bivouac and am certain that my friend and I saw you whilst we descended the Alpha Serratus col on the way to the JH hut. You were just completing your last rappel off Serratus. You had a more successful trip than we did - we summited Alpha (E ridge), bypassed Serratus because of time (and having summite it earlier in the year - N face) and attempted the SE spur of Dione, but bailed 3/4 of the way up because of a poor routefinding decision. Down to the Squamish river and across in a day from the JH hut = knee killer. 5 days for us round trip from the river, with one rest day. Knowing the terrain there just a little bit (my first trip into the area aside from a heliplant at the JH hut) my hats off to you. Very impressive.

Most people that post homophobic remarks are themselves struggling with their sexuality.

Because cool and attractive women mean that men have to grow up. It's all about taking responsibility for oneself and establishing priorities. Most men don't like to do that (IMO), and often it takes the right woman to open men's eyes enough to enable that. Also, men have to want to have things like children, stable relationship etc, and that doesn't happen to most men till about mid-30. Well, it happens, but we don't generally take responsibility for it till later. Women are right into that shit from 25 on. If it doesn't happen, a dirt bag evolves. Hard to explain on teh typewriter after 2 beers.

I sat in a hut at 4:00am once and had the priveledge of listening to FRED snore away. A highlight of my climbing careeer

Troll or not, back to the subject at hand. I've had some success with removing nuts by threading the wire up through the stopper (I have Metolius nuts), and pulling on it from above. If it's really stuck, I'll hook my nut tool onto the wire and pull like hell. Obviously it doesn't work everywhere, but another solution to add to the pile.

Pm'd you a direct phone number for reservations. Conditions were sweet up there last weekend. It's been snowing all week so it's just getting better and better. Should still be good in april. On your descent back to the car make sure you stay left and high after the meadow before the lake. When you get to a boulder field drop to the bottom of it and pick up the trail.

I've been afraid of my dog killing my cat ever since my girlfriend brought the cat home. My dog lived on his wits for the first year of his life, killing chickens etc. In the time I've had him he's killed a rabbit and a couple squirrels. Not as bad as my friends dog who killed a cat in front of a bunch of kids, a marmot while hiking, and a rooster at a friends farm. Anyway, sorry Lance to hear about this. Cute dog - looks much like mine.

No, they were fantastic. Thanks! The snow was great for this climb, too.
