BD sabretooth. i think either size will work for me. send me a PM or e-mail if you're interested in selling.

I presume from this that you may be a high school student (or dropout) with limited imagination and/or vocabulary. It may be that you are one of the American children that has "fallen through the cracks" and didn't receive adequate nourishment at home, or through the school lunch program, during a crucial time in your development. It's okay, James; the world needs ditch diggers, too. If the above is not the case, I must assume that you are just a pathetic loser with little or no imagination beyond what is fed into your brain by marathon Dungeons&Dragons sessions and abuse of over-the-counter medications. Either way, your ability to flame sucks, you cock-gobbling he-bitch. Get off your computer and go back to trying on your sister's clothes. Greg W Can you say, "Whitesnake"? Sure, I knew you could. greg, your ability to interpret my posts which have all been written in plain english is weak (not week). i did not attempt to throw any flames, and if after reading my posts again you still think that was my intention, i say you are a moron. in addition, i think you are a lemming for jumping on the flame-throwing bandwagon, and for using the new emoticon in an inappropriate context... next time try this: ... weather moved in on us and left us tent bound. fortunately we had brought tunes and rocked out for the remainder of the storm ...

Get mean and ornery and bunch up your panties and shit. Pull your dick outta your mouth and speak your mind. You should spend less time assuming the position. nope, nothing funny about the poles. i thought it was funny that you called me a nw.hiker fairy after seeing you make a legit post on the site. i use hiking poles often, msr gabels, just like you! as far as removing my dick from my mouth and speaking my mind... that's what got this flame-fest underway. and if i'm such a tight ass wouldn't you recommed that i spend more time assuming the position

i've said so many stupid things in my life that i hate to tear into anyone for doing the same, but just for fun... after climbing the easy route on SEWS with my wife we were lounging near the summit, as were a mother/daughter pair that had followed just behind us on the route. here's the replay: [daughter, on the summit, on a cell phone call to SO] oh it was great and really easy. you could have done the whole thing. i think it was about 5.7... yeah, we free climbed almost all of it i didn't say anything

quote: Originally posted by vegetablebelay: Now I've got 4 3 reasons why I like some anonymity here hmmm... i'm guessing that you didn't just pull the number 43 from a hat, which means you can count. and you did correctly spell anonymity... and we all know there aren't too many cougs that can count AND spell so perhaps you aren't as anonymous as you think back at'cha

we're wanting to climb the ne ridge of black peak in one day. i read a tr listing a rack of 5 cams and 7 chocks, and suggested taking even more cams. are that many cams useful on this route? we plan to simul climb most of it w/ 80' of rope, and since its supposed to be mostly class 3-4 i'm wondering if 8+ cams (the previously suggested number) would be excessive. any info would be appreciated. cheers

i suspect that you should have posted this under spray in anticipation of the flaming to come...

why does everyone think rush would need to lose weight? i've seen fatboys climb... wait a second, doesn't someone here have an e-mail address like that

btw... its pasayten

i'm guessing the snow will be patchy at that elevation. we were there at the end of may and camped at 6400'... no dry land to be found. however, it was melting out quickly around the 5000' level. as for the other questions: snowmobile... no way. is it drier over there... hell yes.

lots of "there first time on rainier" being pointed out... could be a good point, or not. there are plenty of other mountains around the world with unpredictable weather and committing routes. if you are an experienced climber travelling abroad and you have the choice of hiking up a trade route or taking a classic line to the summit of a coveted peak, what do you do... what do you do? sad, sad, sad... no matter how you look at it. sounds like they had a long hard struggle up there

quote: Originally posted by Steamer: Isn't this guy a sell out? sell out? wtf what exactly is a "sell out" anyway? my understanding is that a sell out is a type of snitch. perhaps he isn't living his life according to your standards... or isn't the guy he used to be... well so what. its his life. i don't know anything about the guy other than he's a much more accomplished climber than i will ever be. maybe you would like to elaborate on dan's "sell out" qualities?
