    One of the things that Snot has in common with the pika: Coprophagy (eating feces).

     

    Snot-tryx, (like Pikas) excretes two kinds of solid waste. The first kind is soft and dark green. Pikas reingest this "waste", which still contains digestible nutrients. Reingestion is either immediate (as it's excreted)or after storage in the haypile. The Snot-tryx has even been reported to ingest feces
    before
    it is excreted (see above) due to its peculiar, insatiable affinity for shit-eating. The final scat is a tiny version of the familiar rabbit pellet, round and brown. Pikas don't reingest this scat, so it collects in haypiles over the years.

     

    And I thought 47 packets of gu was hard core.

    Rad Mitch! - I think you spent too much time writing that one out, and it's just plain dumb.

    Cheers to you though, you got the fighting Irish in ya! [sNAFFLEHOUND]

    for someone calling Retro a "wanker" after such a cool accomplishment.

    Calling someone a wanker is now against the spray law?

    So does this mean you can't call me a gaper?
    [Razz]
    Caveman is right, there are no spray laws just sensibilities. I may not call you a gaper, but I might call you the cum-guzzling cougar raper that you are. I have a lot of respect and admiration for Retro's accomplishment; your 'wanker' comment pissed me off. Take it any way you want, I don't care.

    I'd like to say your wrong there Mr Cavey

    Spary Law #1: When referring to scot'agonia or Larson, one must refer to the "Muir on Saturday" post, or Tigers in the Mountains [sNAFFLEHOUND]

    This happened to me about 4 months ago. The police would not do anything as they said there was nothing stolen. My bank insured it, even though it was a debit card they used, but they used the cc numbers, and added their name on the fake CC.

     

    They went to home depot and charged $1000 and got a gift certificate. I was able to cancel the gift cert before they could use it, but they also got my amex and were able to spend a large hunk of change at liquor stores and such.

     

    I learned my lesson and always take my wallet with me, as this lesson cost me 2 weeks w/o cash and a total burden. Sorry if this has happened to anyone else, as I feel your pain. Those bastards need an ice screw through their ears! [HORSECOCK]

    Dru: Freakin hilarious! Big Time LOL!

    It seems I need to watch what I post on the wta website, as even admin's from CC's go there huh?

     

    What the hell are you climbers looking at that site for anyway?

     

    There's no beta for "Realization" or "Just Do It" there. Just countless posts of simple hikes, nothing that you would ever be interested in. [Wink]

     

    I need to go whaling at the belay ledge on "Canary" - anyone want to come?

    Vesper, North Face

    I was up on Vesper via the dog route yesterday and did note that in the log book a recent entry said that the moat was gnarly. Couldn't tell you though, but the N Face looks so sweeeet!

     

    Is it really that hard to protect?

    Mountain Ascent Challenge - North Cascades - Saturday Sept 21st

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    NOTE: This is an unorganized event, no sponsors, no nothing, fully supported by ourselves and friends

    Date: Saturday September 21st

    Teams: 3-4 Co-Ed

    Where: Mountain Loop Highway: Pilchuck, Dickerman, Vesper

     

    Very similar to the Eco-Challenge, as everyone in the group has to complete the race, and there is to be at least one woman for each team of 3-4. Flags will be placed on the route which will have to be retrieved by teams for each checkpoint.

     

    The challenge will start from the Mt Pilchuck trailhead (3100 feet)

    Teams will hit the summit (5324', 3 miles one way) and then scramble down to Frozen Lake beneath the lookout tower. From here they will scramble across the summit ridge towards Pinnacle Lake, and then take the Pinnacle Lake trail to the bottom where bikes will await them for the ride down to the Mountain Loop highway.

     

    Continuing on the Mountain Loop highway, teams will make their way to the Mt Dickerman trailhead (approx 9 miles, I will get exact figures) where they will either sleep or continue on. Trailhead is at 2000', and the summit is at 5723 after 4.3 miles of hiking one way.

     

    After bagging the summit of Mt Dickerman teams will then descend (if they wish, or camp) and get back on the bikes at the trailhead where they will then ride the Mountain Loop Highway towards the Sunshine Mine trail (4 miles or so) which will take them towards the summit of Vesper Peak. Trail is 4.0 miles to the summit with an elevation gain of 4100 feet. Summit is at 6214'.

     

    From there they will descend back to the trailhead, get on the bikes and head back to the finish line which will be the Verlot Ranger Station that is about 16.5 miles.

     

    All teams must complete at the same time, and they must stay together at all times.

     

    If one person needs to rest, then they all rest. This is an endurance climb/race, so don't underestimate it. I have climbed all these peaks, but never all in the same day, and never on a bike, so it is a true challenge. You would have to be crazy to want to do this. So are you ready?

     

    Here are the facts:

    Mileage hiking:

    Mileage biking: approx: 40 (7 miles are downhill from Mt Pilchuck)

    Elevation Gain: 10,100'

     

    We will need volunteers that will be at checkpoint throughout the race, such as the

    Mt Pilchuck Lookout

    Mt Pilchuck trailhead

    Verlot Ranger Station

    Dickerman Trailhead

    Dickerman Summit

    Sunshine Mine trailhead

    Vesper Summit

     

    register your teams ASAP!

    They guard Cathedral Gap this time of year.

    What they really want are Camalots 2-3.5, since it is a misconception that cams work on cougars the same way they work on bears. I have found out that express ice screws work the best on cougars, you figure out the best way to use them though [laf]
