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

i was reading a thread on ukclimbing.com about embarassing stuff and there was a funny post about some guy who took a dump in the alps and when he put his gloves on afterwards found he had managed to deposit a 'hand warmer' in each one!

Count of Monte C. is Dumas too, silly! In SF, climbing stories, I recommend "Green Mars" and Escape From Kathmandu, both by Kim Stanley Robinson, and Kingdoms of the Wall by Robert Silverberg.

Great pics. Looks good on the slabs to the right of the arete too??

i never got sick from drinking water from a stream *. iron gut, filters bah. I hear if you mix 100ml of hard liquor with 900ml of water in a Nalgene it disinfects the whole thing. Better tasting than iodine. * I never drank from the crooked river at smith either

Let the rivers freeze... ice climber, doesn't like wet feet.

I like, on the road in Tims picture, there is a faint white arrow saying "iDiOT" and pointing to the sign!

What are all these New Yawkers doing on a Cascades board? Next you will be letting Canadians on here

My other friend Eric used to call farting in a zipped up bivi bag the "Dutch oven technique".

Hmmm, leathery skin, yellow-green flesh and large seed... sounds like Dwayner. (DictionNeri, now look up "razzing". Your assignment is to relate the etymology of this word and its evolution from raspberry) Erik I am getting the munchies just reading about food right now. we will have to cook up some "baked goods" sometime soon.

Neri A hint: Look up 1) Sarcasm and 2) Puns in that there dictionary of yours. PS: I didn't know you and George W. were related. Do you have an intern of your own yet?

you are screwed on hotsprings. nearest ones are at Lillooet Lake info - get Lyle's guidebook. pavilion edge is classic "Culbert 5.8" (Culbert 5.7 is 5.9 or 10a...) good hiking - try the Cornwall Hills in hat creek. limestone bluffs and bouldering and rolling meadows. or the marble range north of the canyon. free camping - its out there. take side roads and drive past all habitation.

North face of Joffre North Face of the Owls Birkenstock Couloir North Face of Wedge (see bivouac.com or Alpine Select for all above BS couloir is under Birkenhead peak) N. face Shuksan The first 5 are done & recommended Coleman Gl. headwall (also in Alp select) (havent done this one)

Does anybody know the story of Pat Littlejohn's visit to L'worth? When he put up "By The Sea"? What else did he do?

quote: Originally posted by Sean Halling: I learned how to "direct aid" climb on those "shitty pins." Ya, they messed that place up. It reminded me of whay I saw in Belgium near Marche le Dames. So Will maybe you can answer this....did the Army kick people out of the area when training was on-going? Or did climbers get the fun of watching the Army circus while they climbed. I was there in Dec. but I heard there was a nude beach down below on the river that you could see from the top of Yonah. There's a route in Belgium and it's called March of Dimes? Wow

"Challenge of the Ice Capades" by Fred Bakey.

Hockey bags from little sports stores = cheap duffle bag. Especially used ones that smell like Joey Hanson.

Don't go so hard on someone whose first language obviously isn't English.

The Long Walk is written by Slavomir Rawicz. My favorite parts of it are 1) when somebody dies in an avalanche while they are avoiding the Yeti they have just seen (pre Reinhold Messner!!) and 2) they find a watch made by Pavel Bure's great grandfather (if you aren't a hockey fan that one is going to seem kind of obscure).

you don't need 4wd in the USA but boy do you need it to go mountaineering in BC. either that or like adding 3 hours of approach and walk out.
