  1. Are you talking about this thread that has the directions? or something else
  2. ... all you anti-Bushies, Unless you want a visit from the Secret Service
  3. Confirmed. Still about 5 feet of snow at the parking lot.
  4. Horseshoes is cool. Anybody got horseshoes?
  5. What's the snow level up there right now? Can you still ski down to the Alpental Parking lot? PCT parking lot? If not, how close? Thanks!
  6. Depends on your definition of "hold" (and which variation you took).
  7. Exit 32 or Index?
  8. Just about anything 5.9 or over at Three O'Clock Rock should get you well dialed in for the slabs on Dreamer. Broad Daylights -> Kone or Cornucopia will be good examples of the slabs, plus give you a feel for Darrington "cracks". The crux of Dreamer is route-finding. Check out this cautionary tale by CC.com's poet laureate.
  9. This news story about drug companies hiding results from studies that show their drugs are dangerous, reminded me of this thread. "In a memo from GlaxoSmithKline, leaked last month and published in a Canadian medical journal, the company said negative trial results could not be released because it would damage the profile of the drug."
  10. thousand words? Try five-hundred thousand !
  11. Orbital? Did they cover the Buttholes?
  12. right clicked on the dysfunctional window, then clicked on properties which gave the URL.
  13. Try this http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/viewpoll.php?Poll=320
  14. Nobody mentioned Sagitarius yet. Seems like Tex might like that one.
  15. You might want to check out Zoom. It's got some bolts, but you'll probably be placing some gear too.

    Just in case you're not primarily interested in fall-intensive sport-climbing with dicey clips, and value low-weight, low ropedrag, and versatility you might consider getting good quality wiregate biners and those super-thin (8mm dyneema, supposedly got 'em at PMS) sewn runners. A standard shoulder-length one of these tripled up is just as compact as your standard sporto draw. For super-lightweight you can go with nuetrinos or these dinky Kong keylocks they carry at PMS, but those tiny things occasionally scare people when contemplating a fall.
  17. Nobody died when Clinton said God was on his side.
  18. So I'm not sure I understand what makes Kerry so strongly negative. Granted, my impression is that he is not exciting and he does little to inspire me, but I'm baffled by this statement of intense negativity? Can you elucidate the top 1 or 2 points that qualify him for anit-christ status in your mind?
  19. The rim of the Grand Canyon is a pretty amazing place, even at the totally crowded spots. I get really energized in the cab of my truck, driving through the pre-dawn city streets, peering through the holes in the windshield frost, waiting for the heater to kick in, with that big cuppa joe and some punk rock blaring, heading out to the mountains for some all-day sufferfest.
  20. my scrolling finger is tired
  21. Those f88kin mounties must really like Squamish, because everytime I go up there, there are topropes strung up all over Neat and Cool and Burgers and Fries. F88KIN MOUNTIES!!!!
  22. Your verse doesn't match the cadence of the original in the last 5 lines.
  23. Every once in a while it's pretty fun to turn on your little walkie talkie thing at the ski resort and beep people over and over again. Sorta like doing prank phone calls I guess. How childish .
  24. Would it annoy you guys more or less if I picked up a piece of bark and talked loudly to the bugs inside?
  25. I am personally offended by anyone using hiking poles. Why the f88k should you need those in the wilderness? Bringing some of your city comforts with you. Gag me. Especially the collapsible ones. Sounds mechanized to me. Illegal in the Wilderness. Also, they distract me. They transform the usual human profile into something new different and ... scary. If you use hiking poles in the wilderness around me, where I'm trapped, and can't get away, expect some rudeness in return.
