As I recall it, according to Daniel Pinkwater there is a floating island in Lake Chicago with the same optical illusion... this summit is starting to sound like the infamous Bogus Mountain of the south-central BC coast (see Fairley guide, last entry in "Sechelt/Narrows" section)

BATTLE CAGE!!!

Forced bivis are another good reason to go climbing with an attractive partner - almost as good as the recommended treatment for hypothermia however,if unfortunately your partner is a hairy type with a large paunch I guess you could always do the Luke-on-Hoth thing, slit him open and crawl inside though... Hey - 4:20 time to step outside and enjoy life

erik the use of 11mm rope in mountaineering is seriously underestimated. when you do a forced bivy, a 70m 11mm rope is much warmer when wrapped around you than is a 50m 8.5mm.

Does it still count as a redpoint if the trees are pre-slung?

If you ever see a full photo or meet her in real life you will see its flat.

That is TradGirl and the point is that its not just "sport climbin' Betties" [sic] that have hard flat stomachs...

If you thought Diedre was clean 11 years ago you should see it in its present state

Beck, 1) Who is "She" (Rachel Babkirk??) and 2)what is she gonna blow? I thought this was gonna be a hot bear-man rendezvous?

You starting to sound like Teddy R. now pen...

Yeah whatever "Pen", we know you are really either a) Lambone, b) Capt Caveman or c) Mike-Adamson-I-will-never-post-here-under-my-own-name-again, just like half of the other usernames on this board.

Hey that's good, the ghost of Kerouac, now if someone throws in the ghost of Ed Abbey we can keep "Redneck" Rybolt happy.

And the "Hansen brothers" of Punk Rock are actually the Wright Brothers from, NoMeansNo. Famous for punk songs about hockey like "Pencil Necked Geek". Yeah - I saw one of the Hansens in a bar a few months back. I dunno if that movie will be any good they are kinda old & wrinkly now... if only they would make a Strange brew sequel...

That $70 deal was probably a close-out on a discontinued colour. The new green color is butt-ugly by the way. Gord B, I know you are reading this - use your influence!

scholler is great. sure it will get a hole in it if you cut it but unlike nylon, for instance, the hole doesn't grow. and if you run a lighter over the pilling it fixes it. i saw arcteryx warranty some guys pilling that way. as for the price, two words or one - PRO DEAL or SECONDS

Capt - cant help you tomorrow but i am off ALL next week!!! first vacation since January!!

Kyle, with a blurb like that, you should add "$8500 obo".

With mountaineering in mind they should rename the 4Runner the 4Play since it is so good at getting you going, but will rarely get you all the way there

a good start? (actually, that is the answer to "what do you call a pile of dead sport climbers? " 5 minutes work?

Fields On my first visit to your beautiiful home town of L-worth, in fall 1991, I hiked down to the Tumwater after a day of climbing on Castle Rock, to wash my hands. The salmon were spawning... hands went in chalky and came out sticky from all the fish jism floating around.

Why did the pervert cross the road? He couldn't pull out of the chicken What's the difference between kinky and a pervert? Kinky uses a feather and a pervert uses the whole chicken. [This message has been edited by Dru (edited 08-22-2001).]

Dude that's funny, Dude how could you tell it was Caveman, Are you saying trad girls are flabby stomached? i can't find the famous bikini picture but I hear that TradGirl is pretty buff Maybe he was on a stealth mission to recon for the next TOUGH LOVE (crowbar) exercise?

D-mite are you apologizing or bragging????

Yeah where is pope these days, he would find that experience inviting some sleeping bag deja vu or so I hear...
