work camera is the Sony Cybershot DSCF505 2.1 megapixel with Zeiss digital zoom, it takes real nice pictures but cost $1200 CDN.

I dunno about integrity but you could probably bring in some character witnessettes to testify about your "passion".

One time, up in... ( I know I'm replying to all these people seeing neat stuff with ME TOO but I did...) ...up in NE BC, the "Peace River country", I went to a Forest Service campsite outhouse, lifted the lid and there was a beaver in the hole! He did the danger tailsmack and shit splashed but luckily not out of the hole. Actually seeing the beaver was cool but i could have skipped the rest of it.

Preverted - that's the ones that read French Surrealist poet Jacques Prevert, right?

Dunno I was looking over from rexford. looks like you might need crmpns or something if crossing Notch - or approach direct start but lots of icefall danger it seems to be getting done a lot though so I'm sure you can get through somehow.

I heard that new route was Grade V 5.5 WI5 A5 M5 with a V5 sit start and you need 5 #5 Camalots for the crux 5th pitch.

Sounds like the one about the guy who showed up for his vasectomy operation in a tuxedo. "Well if'n Ah'm gonna be impo'tint Ah wanna look impo'tint!"

And how do we know that either "Dwayner" or "pope" wasn't just some unemployed actor hired for the night? did you quiz them both about their climbing knowledge? and about crapping in sleeping bags?

"On the Reality Bath I felt like throwing up all day long" (Mark Twight in pre-GU days) "Felt like throwing up all day long - what did he do, eat 6 raw chickens?" (Tami Knight).

That pub club... no one much is posting this morning - you guys all hung over? ?

Make the second carry a humongous pack. thats why they are on top rope.

You may still encounter running ice on the approach. The Pocket Glacier has half-slid as of 08/12. Still ice against the base of the wall and the east side of the cirque where you cross the notch.

I am hunting sport climbers and boulderers to live up to Lambones ideals of the ktk. You can get your kill professionally stuffed and mounted at a number of locations. Sport climbers look best as a head with a quick draw attaching the head to the wall by each dangly earring. The boulderer trophy is best made into a rug which can be placed over the attached pad to make a charming accent for your den or library.

Carry a spear? I guess it would be useful for chopping the ropes of people found to be stick clipping.

I don't think peace is in his vocabulary. I think the Capt spells peace "Piece" like the one he carries around with him. Not me. The only gun I'll carry is a bolt gun

Capt. your endlessly multiplying and permutating identities remind me of this:

what is the course you are writing the paper for?

no, we get Anders Ourom making a speech zzzzzzz.

Do you get an adoption certificate for your crag like they used to give out with Cabbage Patch Kids?

Soft porn? Don't you mean Cave of the Bare Clam?

Oh - forgot Beck is driving tonight. better not drink vs. PineyK. some other contest for battle cage supremacy.

I only have 1 screen name because I can't figure out the cookies issue to use multiples. I was gonna use "Vertical Freedom Fighter" to rag on Ray but I registered the name & then couldn't sign in as that name, it kept kicking me back to Dru!!! Oh well. hence the high # of posts. Ray is still beating me by something like 100 posts when you add up all his aliases That said I think some people come to expect and ignore statements coming from one name all the time so if you make the same comment from a new name they might take it more seriously?

It isnt a bear but here's a picture my friend Kobus took of sunrise above a cloud layer from a high bivy on Judge Howay. I actually am using this for my desktop wallpaper. The peaks in middle distance are the Chehalis Range.

Hiking into Silvertip for attempt #2 on east face we ran into a fully grown black bear about 10 feet away, in a bushwacking section. He/she just looked at us like "Huh" and wandered away up a moss covered, wet slab that would have been hard to climb with a rope and gear... The kicker was, we skirt around the bear and come out in a clearing. Sit down to get over being scared by bear, and all of a sudden a big doe comes bounding into the clearing. She sees us and takes off running into the woods right for where the bear was last seen... "No! Look out Bambi there's a bear there!" Listened for 15 minutes after that but no sounds of carnage.

I heard Jerry works in insurance busines and the computer keyboard only has capital letters to save money or some weird thing like that. He's apologised for the ALL CAPS thing in the past - dont rag on him for it.
