strange coincidence, mine also on left side and its just one muscle fiber just above the knee... i cantthink why, i am not calcium deficient, no longer dehydrated, and total exercise in last 2 weeks has consisted of walking and a 1 hour hike uphill in the rain... the little muscle has been twiching since sunday night or monday am, even during the night when lying in bed and the leg is fully relaxed... maybe there is an alien implant i am unaware of...

Isnt that the chimney "belay" on the 2nd pitch of Saber? -Actually If it was on Castle Rock, there would be a river onthe other side of the road, not more trees, right. Is it Viper on rattlesnake Rock? Im definitely guessing in the Tumwater anyways.

OK moderators this one was a serious question. Fess up who moved it to SPRAY and move it back.

DOUG THAT EXPLAINS IT DO YOU THINK OFFWIDTHING COULD ALSO BE A PROBLEM

Wasnt black powder once used as a quack cure for syphilis??

akshully it was saskatoon berry pie today! what the hell do americans call sakatoons anyways? you probably think theyre a type of huckleberry

I just ate some pie and it stopped. "damn fine coffee" is probably to blame causing dehydration

A muscle in my left leg has been randomly spasming, or tic'ing or whatever you call it, for the last 2 days. What causes it and how do I get it to stop?

"The Long Walk" by Slavomir Rawicz. Polish POWs escape Siberian prison camp and walk across Gobi Desert and Himalayas to India. I got my copy at the gear store in Gold Bar.

i think you have to go to www.russianclimbing.com to see.

i never heard winter climbing was ever called fun. i think it is more like suffering and then later you persuade yourself it was fun and when the scars heal and memories fade its time to do it again.

messner thinks the yeti is a bear but i have never before heard of the yeti as snafflehound theory

I was in Zion one time and got rained off a wall. Sitting around bumming in the campsite about the weather I read Desert Solitaire and realized I should be happy to be in the desert during a rainstorm. went for a hike instead and watched the vegetation do its stuff in the shower. Flowers were busting out everywhere by the time we got back to camp.

Ya you should get your chica to douche first.

I cant do the potato flakes for breakfast thing. But a 25 cent instant japanese noodle brick is good, it gives you lots of water and fat to keep you going through the day. if you dont make soup just shake the flava packet on it uncooked and its ghetto fries! if you are gonna be on a glacier everything will stay fresh so take fresh peppers etc if you can manage the extra weight. fresh veggies really jazz up the same old soup and pasta mix. couscous is the oatmeal of dinner, dont even go there.

North Face of K2 in winter.

Whatever - wipe off the skull and crossbones and you're good to go! It's just piss.... Think of it as a cultural experience (didn't Ghandi drink his first piss every morning?). If you're not worried about the effects of crypto, then a little urine residue shouldn't hurt ya one bit. Ok, wash it out until it doesn't smell any more. (Come on people, doesn't anyone practice oral sex?) DAn I never knew you combined golden showers with oral sex. I'd rather you HADNT told me that.

I read a funny review by Ed Abbey of "Zen & Motorcycle etc." which points out all the flaws in the books statements about motorcycle maintenance. Apparently Pirsig didn't know much about motorcycles. I read that ZAMM book by the way and thought it epitomized crap 70s psychobabble. Buckminster Fuller is way more interesting from that time period.

Heh that was MY photo topo. The area you refer to has grassier cracks for some reason and requires cleaning/excavation hence it was left for this summer. The lines climbed were the cleanest ones.

there's reading in those mags? pictures dont count as reading or do you mean "Busty Brandi, 21, 48-26-32, likes unshaven mountain climbers, snafflehounds and horsecock. Turnoffs include Lycra and bolts. Future plans include soloing Reticent Wall."

the only difference between it falling over and being pushed oveer, is that because it was pushed over it did not fall when there were potential victims underneath.

Kraft dinner mmmmm mmm Buy 5 L of pesto per person per day - it worked in the Niut range. You can dress it up with pasta or rice if you dont like straight pesto Breakfasts suck. Instant oatmeal causes death. I suggest either taking in a sled full of pancakes and maple syrup, or just a few jars of Nutella and some Ryvita with currants to eat the nutella with

i like good writing and dislike bad writing. i read a lot of books like 5 a week. i dont have a TV and live alone, thats my secret.

How Haute was it Well lemme tell ya, it was so Haute that th Mexicans were putting it in their chili...
