Yeah it looks horrible!

I used to just stand at the bus stop for 20 minutes at a time reading a book and doing toe-stand reps. Climbing on vertical and under-vertical walls with tiny jib footholds also worked well. Or you can put a full beer on a shelf you have to stand on tiptoes to reach. Reach. Take a sip. put back on shelf. wait 1 minute. repeat. [ 11-29-2001: Message edited by: Dru ]

McLane managed to include many unreported FAs by asking people to ask people about routes... discovered a few good ones through word of mouth. However in SWBC Alpine Select there are definitely some issues over why KM chose not to include "Opus" on the south face of Viennese and some of the Bill Noble/Kirt Sellers routes on Clarke and Rexford, or Kobus B's routes on Judge Howay...or the Meager obelisk for that matter. in fact the Judge was not included because he didnt have good pictures of it!

Pan Dome isnt at the roadside is it? I heard from a buddy that did it it is a fun hour or two when in shape. Then there is DEATH PICNIC which I heard was a mega Kearney sandbag and was more like a 6+ than 5. Anybody been on dat?

Tried a spring first ascent of "Death Route" on the east face of In-SHUCK-Ch Mountain last spring. Crawled up my partners kicked steps for 2 hrs at 3Am only to realize I just didnt have the go for it I needed. Went back to the bivi and shivered while they failed on steep snow covered slabs. I could have gone and flailed too if I had had more cardio. started riding my bike to work after that. I think I bailed mainly because I hadn't done anything using long term aerobic endurance in the last 4 months just ice climbing and bouldering. I will do some 12 hr epic slogs on skis this winter to prepare for next time.

Dude in the past week you have gone from ~20 posts ahead of me to more than 100. nice!

Its raining right now. snowline up around 750m. another week and Duffy lake road/Sumallo might come in? maybe pan dome @ baker is already in - but it would probably be covered in freshiez too.

Here's one that ain't weed smoking but would be good for discussing routes. I think Outer Space is a route! [ 11-29-2001: Message edited by: Dru ]

Bill is probably glad he is testing Explorer so much.

I like this one except for the little bit at the right that doesn't vanish when it should. Anybody know of a site or some freeware download that lets you make your own smileys?

cool report. anyone smoking dope in the bivi hut?

Swim Fins would be challenging!

And I always thought the BPL was invented to ensure that those fruit beers like Blackberry Ale, did not qualify as real beer and hence were labelled girly drinks along with hard lemonade and rockaberry cider. TG you talkin' shroom beer then or what? I heard you can make wine out of mushrooms... :

Has anyone else noticed that the smoke from a joint will fill a mountain hut no matter what shape the hut interior is? [ 11-28-2001: Message edited by: Dru ]

PENCIL ALERT! PENCIL FORMAGE!! That isnt this year is it?

Hemp Cream Ale? We make that up here but not with buds just industrial hemp... sounds good but TG do you have to drink it warm to have an effect? maybe you should mix some kava kava in. I guess it doesnt meet the Bavarian Purity Law either...

BD makes one I think but you will have to check their website for beta.

whales arent fish

damn i tilted my monitor way back but i still cant see up that skirt...
