Mountain Info is found in the back pages of the British mag High Mountain Sports. The latest issue is doing a 2 parter Baffin Island roundup I think. Its nice, cause when they do a feature, they usually showyou a picture with all known lines drawn in, unlike AAJ that doesnt even mention other lines already climbed half the time.

We still haven't drilled bolts. Dennis Yo avatar you are reinventing the wheel. Your 'sport' has been around since the 50s. It is called Cave Diving. National Geographic Sept. 1995 Underwater Caves of Florida quote "Moving through these tight tunnels was like rock climbing in a scuba suit underwater". Duh.

Maybe he was writing Lady and the Y on his typer is bust. But Sk dont you know Dennis is dwayners latest avatar?

FW the reason I suggested the USA use the EPA to force Kyoto Implementation was because USA have EPA and we dont But yeah mainly I posted this just cause I knew when you read it you wouldnt be able to resist spewing some oil company "tobacco science". Hooked Ya Good!!!!

Hee hee.

Air tanks are aid

better gu than horsecock.....

Dont be afraid to call in a rescue - better safe than sorry. You can buy them beer if they are Ok and you jumped the gun calling in SAR.

After years of wearing size 9 or 8.5 rockshoes on my size 10-10.5 feet I decided to buy a pair of size 10 rockshoes for alpine climbing and long routes. I was wearing some old multi-resoled Aces that had stretched to about 9.5 but thought what the hell (there were multiple holes in the rand) might as well get some new'uns instead of resoling. I got Scarpa Infernos and am gonna try them out. They fit pretty tight for such big shoes but have a just-touching-the-end fit on the toes whereas with my slippers, the toes are slightly bent. I plan to wear socks in them sometimes too. we will see how well it works. any ideas from others who have done this?

Your mamas so skanky they named a perfume for her: eau de horsecock

quote: Originally posted by AlpineK: Horsecock all the way. It's power food. If you look at the instructions on Gu you need to eat 3 Gu's/hr. Who has time for that. why dont they just make 1 portion 3 times as large, or, if it gets totally absorbed in 20 minutes, put it in a time release patch? How many horesecocks do you need to eat in an hour? Is there a coca leaf and red bull flavor gu?

50 nude ascents, 40mph winds, temp was +50C with horizontal fog and whiteout. the biggest hazard was the kamikaze skiiers

Hilleberg tents rock. They are bomb proof. Why not just take bivi sacs and a tarp if you want to go light? Personally I think singlewalls are the shit for Arctic/high altitude but conditions that are good for them are never to be found in the PNW.

March of The Kitchen Utensils I think nude ascents are more popular on rock cragging type routes than ice climbs or alpine routes. but by all means try for the FNA of Liberty Ridge if you must. Bear Mountain, Mount Baring and Bears' Breast would be good peaks to do FNA's of.
