What time do you make a dentist appointment? At "tooth hurty"

Lillooet Vantage Exit 38. Batso has nothing to do with this.

moths dont eat polypro but they sure eat wool! I cant imagine how the sheep survive in heavily moth-ridden areas of the planet.

I have found the staff at Blackcomb to be very helpful about offering information as to conditions and helping load packs on the chairlift, etc. Do they still offer the one-ride lift ticket for a fair price? http://www.bivouac.com/BlnPg.asp?rq=Pg&BlnId=125

Left the lot at 4:15 - would recommend an earlier start due to a fairly significant amount of ice fall experienced in the couloir. Dude when are the Talking Heads gonna reunite? ( I imagine you hear that alot?)

Perhaps I wasn't clear on the conditions: the snow was soft and shallow with a thin upper crust. My partner weighed in at a svelt 250 or so and I at a dainty 190. Bollards crossed my mind for about .001 second. My life is worth more than $20. A great old time quote from John Baldwin, Coast Range ski legend: "You guys may live but at least I will die with a complete rack!"

aintchu guys ever heard of bollards?

Stretch factor could be a bit of a problem especially when you pay so much for this stuff! > I agree with airmoss about Patagonia accumulating funk. I had an REI top that suprisingly stayed pretty funk-free. > Bellemontagne: Sounds like silver is a good idea, but I wonder if it makes you more of a lightning rod! > Mattp: I'm suprised! How do you change when the conditions are "full-on"? >> SO, has anyone tried LIFA? Or are the signature arm stripes too much for everyone? I know they have a new weave thats supposed to perform better than the older stuff both in wicking and odor control. Thanks for the replies so far. I'd welcome any more before I head to the store soon! I got a 2-yr old LIFA and a 6-month old MEC powerdry an the powerdry is warmer and stretchier and less smelly and goes thru the drier better. i mostly wear the LIFA for summer stuff now because, as noted, it is not as warm. both are black by the way. i would recommend getting a color other than black for extensive summer use.

quote: Originally posted by pope: Players with short bats should step closer to the plate. You should be alert for the sound of running water cause some guys have "blushing bladder" and can't pee with other men nearby. for their sake if you hear silence from next urinal, finish your business fast and get out of there so they can get the deed done.

quote: Originally posted by trask: What level of conversation is acceptable when using a urinal? When two strange men are standing next to each other, dicks in hand, their backs to other men, there are two messages they generally want to relay to one another: I’m not gay; and I hope you’re not gay. (I assume the message gay guys want to convey is I am gay, but I’m just taking a piss). In order to convey this message, I think the following rules should apply: Stare straight ahead or look down at your own penis, as if encouraging it to pee. Do not look at your neighbor, but be careful not to look in the opposite direction from him. Looking away conveys a sense of submissiveness, which you do not wish to convey while standing next to a suspected homosexual holding his penis (he’s holding his penis, not you). Conversation is acceptable but should be limited to sports or breasts. I think topics to avoid should include fashion, baking, and ballet. In the unfortunate instance that you are at the ballet, the proper urinal comment should be "Man, those girls sure have nice cans." What do you guys think? I think you better not converse at all cause you dont want the other guy to think your looking at him. I prefer to stare up into space, and either hum,or moan with relief so he will know how long i held it in for. where do you come up with these stupid topics trask?

quote: Originally posted by mattp: I'll probably get slammed for this, but I like a cotton shirt for comfort and breath-ability. I strip down when I'm heading uphill with a pack on so that I don't get all wet, and when I do soak my shirt with sweat, I take the first possible opportunity to peel it off and put it back on over a sweater so that it dries out. By carefully avoiding wearing a wet underlayer all day, I am usually warmer than my buddies who soaked their synthetic base layer that is supposed to be warm when wet. No responsible person could recommend cotton, but my point is that no miracle fabric will keep you comfortable without a steady effort and some attention on your part. i like that malden powerdry that you can get from almost any company. and i find if your next layers are breathable/wicking they end up stinking and not the base layer cause all the sweat transports into them... not going to happen with goretex over your base layer, but with a regulator jacket and then a windshirt or schoeeler top, or with some powershield over top, it works great. or with just your base layer and a good breeze.

From the top of Thermometer area (which ice lines tend to be somewhat sporadic at this time of year, usually best in January) you will be on a snow slope about 200m below the NORTHWEST BUTTRESS of the W Lion and you are going to have to circumnavigate 180 degrees around the whole damn mountain to get to the SE gully. Up, over, around and down...I would suggest doing one or the other but not both. Or, do thermometer or Marmalade, traverse over to the base of the NE buttress and do that. Take some big hexes or Tri Cams to pound/place into icy cracks and lots of long slings to tie off trees. A few Spectres for frozen moss dont hurt neither (I say this based on climbing it in summer only so take this with a grain of salt)

I've found it to be pretty much the norm in Washington(and every where else for that matter). Nice climb fellas, way to get after it! Cheers [ 03-01-2002: Message edited by: Lambone ] "If it feels overhanging, its probably vertical. If it feels vertical, its probably 80 degrees. All other steepnesses subtract 10-20 degrees." Dont remember who said this but it sure is true. If you really want to impress people use percent slope. 45 degree slope is 100% and vertical is infinitely steep!
