This is a good example of something Darwin described.

Says here (Beckey) Skookum Pk NW ridge 5.4, west ridge 4th class. Think it was the NW ridge I was thinking of.

All the times I practiced crevasse rescue in student rec centres, abandoned lecture halls, back alleys, and on the balcony of Keiths Hut I was never able to actually understand what I was doing. But when I went aid climbing I was like "Holy shit1 This Z-pulley really works when you are hauling! These ascenders are way better than prussiks!" So I'd say forget about the crevasse simulator and just go do a 2-pitch aid climb. The fundamentals are the same and it will be more fun.

but has it been climbed? i don't have my beckey guide that well memorized. if not who wants to do it??? if it has what does it go at?

MEC was fucking intense today. Someone was buying a WHOLE RACK at the climbing counter. How many times do you see that? Usually its just someone buying a harness or shoes. But noooo, this guy had to compare EVERY BRAND OF CAMS MEC CARRIES! It took like 30 minutes before I could get thru to Weeder at the counter and hassle him about his climbing-preventing injuries (which were incurred HIKING! what a looser lol)

so Fromage, if he had found Irvine, would he have 'et him?

if used properly, a big pile of shit will be at least as effective as 2 crashpads. one for absorbing fall energy and one psychologically - who wants to back flop into a dung heap?

isnt this kinda old news cause there was another thread on here about this 2 months or so ago?

i usually only get 1.

what is the next peak south of the south twin? i have seen a nice picture of what looks like a west facing steep buttress on that peak?

i bolted my fucking sandwiches at lunch today. man was i hungry. they had chopped vegetables and meat in them but neither was a blt. however, i BOUGHT a BOLT today. im gonna place it on rappel

the 2004 should be out in a few months. i have been invited to bring my red pen to the editing party this weekend... i am gonna do a polish bob and downgrade all of kevin's ratings by 3 letter grades to keep the washington climbers from having to convert their index ratings to canadian currency

you can't claim to be hideously ugly unless you have a verified hotornot.com score of 3.0 or lower.... 3.0 to 4.5 is just ugly to plain... 4.5 to 5.5 is normal... any more than that and you are some shade of hot!

3 as of noon

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW MANY PARTIES WILL BE ON GIVLERS CRACK ON OCTOBER 11 2004. AM PLANNING ASCENT AND WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY GU PACKETS I WILL NEED TO CONSUME WHILE WAITING FOR SLOW FUCKERS IN FRONT OF ME

SHHHHH! I m gonna get mine today and there better be one left!

everest cleanup trips are a scam designed to get sponsorship $$$ for the team making the "clean up ascent"
